Waffles

I have tried many waffle recipes over the years, but this is my current favorite. Makes light waffles which are good to eat by kids and adults alike.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (130 grams) all-purpose flour (am going to try whole wheat too)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons (5 grams) baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons (25 grams) granulated white sugar
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature


Pancakes/bonus recipe of Choco Bombs

Something I tried recently from Bake with Shivesh's repertoire - these are made in a Paniyaram pan, so I feel better about putting good money and kitchen space into a cast iron pan which I haven't used much so far.  

Even better - the same recipe (sans Nutella) makes perfect American-style pancakes - go awesomely with Maple syrup/liquid jaggery/chocolate sauce.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup+2 tbsp warm milk
  • 1/2 tbsp vinegar
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • Nutella

I went all fancy and put the batter into a piping bag, but it probably wasn't needed.

Hot Oats Porridge

This is a family favorite. I have made it with/without toppings, nuts powder etc, always good.
  • 1 cup oats (for 1 person)
  • 1-1.5 cups milk
  • saffron - 5-6 strands
  • 1 tsp elaichi powder
Lightly dry roast oats, and cook in milk infused with saffron and elaichi powder (both are optional, of course) for 10 minutes at low flame. Add a little more milk if needed. 
  • 3 tbsp jaggery (or any other sweetener)
Top with one/more of the following:
  • almonds and brazil nuts powder
  • chocolate chips/chopped chocolate
  • pomegranate seeds
  • chopped apple/banana/fruit of your choice
  • cashewnuts and raisins
Specially good for a winter morning when you crave something hot and hearty.

Oats-chia-cocoa overnight pudding

Ingredients:
  • 1 tbsp Chia seeds
  • 1/3 cup oats
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1-2 tsp cocoa
  • 1-2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp home-made protein powder (optional)
Mix and soak overnight, and add green raisins, soaked almonds and cashews before serving.

Dutch baby/Dutch pancakes

@June 16, 2024

Came across this one yesterday, and made for today's breakfast. It feels like a cross between a pancake and a cobbler. A hit with Agni for sure. Made an amaranth flour version for gluten-free folks like me. Loved it!

  • 4 tbsp butter - divided - 2 tbsp goes into batter, and the rest into pre-cooking the fruits
  • 1/2 cup (125 g) whole milk
  • 1/2 cup (64 grams) whole wheat flour (also tried with amaranth flour, it wasn't bad at all, cannot be compared with wheat but was pretty good and worth making again)
  • 2 large eggs (the original recipe called for 4 but I reduced that since some reviews said it was too eggy)
  • 3 tablespoons (43 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • zest of one lemon
  • 1 cup (154 g) blueberries - I used cherries and peaches, will also try dried cranberries next time.
Method is straight-forward - 2 tbsp butter goes in a cast iron pan and the fruits start cooking on the stove top in this. Rest of butter and everything else goes in a blender, and whisk whoosh whisk! Pour the batter over the fruits in the pan and move the pan to a pre-heated 230 degrees oven. Bake for 15 minutes at least. Serve with maple syrup!
(I made some more modifications in the gluten free version - reduced sugar to 1 tbsp, and butter to almost 1-1.5 tbsp. Obviously, it doesn't taste the same, but is still very good, and hopefully healthy too.)

Fudgy oatmeal

(To Try)

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/d1i3jO4mJAY

  • 35g Oats
  • 7g Chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Cinnamon powder 1/4 tsp (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp sugar (sweetener)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 scoop protein powder (optional)

Blend well and add half a glass of hot milk little by little. Mixture  should be fudgy like a cake batter and not milky. It will automatically cook due to the boiling hot milk.

Top with fresh strawberries, a tbsp of greek yogurt (sweeteneed with honey) and 1 tsp peanut butter.


Similar - Chia Pudding recipe

The only change is that it also uses Cashews

High Protein Chocolate Cashew Mousse

Ingredients: (3 servings)
  • 80g cashews - Add to a blender
  • 450g Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop protein powder (chocolate)
  • 80g dates 
  • 120ml skimmed milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Blend it well and divide evenly between 3 serving pots and top each one with 20g chia seeds.

Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, or overnight, until thick and mousse like.

Serve with 10g dark chocolate or fruit
Also, saw an alternate version which had no cashews. And had cocoa powder and plain protein powder separately. That's the only i will probably try first.


Another recipe which uses oats and chia seeds but no protein powder. Good thing - it is not soaked overnight!

Protein Berry Smoothie with oats

  • 220g Greek Yogurt Plain (Epigamia/Milkymist)
  • 25g Oats
  • 6-7 Strawberries
  • 1 tsp Honey (Or zero-calorie sweetner) - You can add more if you like it sweeter
  • 7g Chia seeds soaked in water

Blend all the above ingredients with some water.

Tiramisu overnight oats

  • 1 tsp Coffee powder mixed with 180ml hot water - Pour into the oats container
  • 40g oats
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds (20g)
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein (30g)
Mix it well

Then add 85g Greek yogurt - this can also be added in morning.
Sprinkle 10g (1 tbsp) cocoa powder on top
And let it sit in the fridge over overnight.
That’s it - all done
