Oatmeal Chocochip Cookies

A tray full of warm chewy cookies on a cold winter evening. A rocking chair, a fire place and some music. That’s the picture playing in my head as I bake these oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

 

Recipe

Ingredients

Butter – ½ cup  /  60 gm

Cane sugar- ½ cup / 65 gm

All purpose flour – ½ cup / 75 gm

Oats – 1 cup / 100 gm

Flax meal – 2 tbsp

Warm milk – 2 tbsp

Chocolate chips – ½ cup / 100 gm

 

Steps

1. Mix the milk and flaxmeal. Set aside for 5-10 mins.
2. Take the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl. Whisk them together till you get a light and fluffy mixture.
3. Add the ‘flaxegg’ prepared in step one and whisk to combine.
4. Add the flour and oats. Bring the ingredients together using a spatula.
5. Mix in the chocolate chips. Your cookie dough is now ready to be shaped and baked.
6. Use a cookie/ ice cream scoop to shape the cookies. The dough is slightly ‘sticky’ and soft so this really helps. 
7.  Place the cookie dough scoops on a parchment lined baking tray. Use a spatula to flatten the domes.
8.  Refrigerate for 15 mins to ½ an hour.
9.  Bake in a pre-heated oven at 150C for 10-12 minutes [or until the edges start to turn light brown].
10 Place on a wire rack and allow to cool completely before storing in an air tight jar.

 


Notes

  • Oven temperature and time may vary. 
  • Turn off the oven once the edges start to brown.
  • These cookies are soft and chewy.
  • I have used quick cooking oats in the above recipe. You may use any kind you like.
  • Cane sugar may be replaced with jaggery powder / coconut sugar / raw sugar.
  • You can also substitute the all purpose flour with whole wheat flour. It works equally well.
  • You can make the cookie dough ahead and store it in the freezer.
  • It is important to cream the butter and sugar well. It gives your cookie a nice texture.
  • The flaxmeal helps to bind the ingredients together. I also really love the nutty flavour it imparts.

 

Happy Baking!

Whole Wheat Chocolate Banana Loaf Cake

A moist whole wheat chocolate banana loaf cake. This eggfree banana cake flavoured with a dash of cinnamon is perfect as a tea time snack. It is another special day. My youngest son’s first birthday. I wanted Adbhut’s first ever cake to be something he would enjoy. Here’s something with his favourite fruit. I am super happy about how this whole wheat chocolate banana loaf cake turned out. It is simple, healthy and flavourful at the same time. My home smells all warm and ‘cinnamony’. It is often thought that whole wheat bakes are dense or taste ‘aata -like’. Try this. Its soft, moist and unless you tell its wholewheat no one would guess it. Recipe Cook Time            45 minutes Servings                1 loaf INGREDIENTS 1 and 1/2 cups whole wheat flour 1 and 1/2 tsps baking powder 2 tbsps Cocoa powder 1 tsp Cinnamon powder {optional} 1/4 tsp salt 2 Ripe bananas { medium size} 3/4 cup + 1/4 cup milk 1/2 cup cane sugar 1/2 cup Oil 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2

When I started baking, a little less than a year back, this is the recipe I played around with. Being a part of a healthy baking group made me try a whole wheat version of my mom’s classic cake. It wasn’t difficult at all because her recipe is versatile.

Sieve the whole wheat flour, baking powder and baking soda 15-20 times. [Yup you read it right] Mix the sugar and milk together [until the sugar dissolves completely]. Add oil and beat the mixture well. [You may use your electric mixer for this. Just give it one or two churns] Add the sieved flour and fold in gently until no lumps remain. Add the essence and give it a mix. Pour into a

Mom’s Eggless Cake

  I have had this cake since I was 5. Mom would use the little round oven and we would keep peeking into the glass top to see the cake rising. The whole house would smell deliciously warm and I don’t think we ever waited for the cake to cool down, those warm slices would disappear within minutes. Everyone remembers their first bake. Mom’s recipe introduced me into the beautiful world of baking. This is and will always be my favourite recipe. This is perfect for beginners [I baked it when I was 14 and my almost 9 year old did it brilliantly 2 weeks back]. Can’t get simpler than this now, can it? Recipe    INGREDIENTS 2 cups All purpose flour 3/4 tsp Baking soda 1 cup Milk 1/2 cup   Oil 3/4 cup Sugar 1 tsp Vanilla essence INSTRUCTIONS Pre heat the oven at 180 C for 10 minutes. Beat the milk, sugar, oil and vanilla essence together till it turns into a white creamy mix. [or you can simply put all the ingredients in an electric mixer and give it a few whips] Sieve
