I found this recipe for blueberry coffee cake in Taste of Home’s Baking Book. As I have mentioned a couple of times earlier, the recipes which appear in that magazine are perfect and it does not disappoint you at all. So this coffee cake recipe was no exception to it. I’m not a big blueberry fan. I buy these berries to make blueberry milk for my son and other than that we don’t do much with it. Sometimes he asks for blueberry pancakes but this time he didn’t want neither. I was looking for blueberry recipes and found this coffee cake recipe. The first thing which caught my attention was that it used only 2 tablespoons of butter and it was very easy to prepare. These days my son is so keen on helping me while baking so I have to consider the ease of preparation too while choosing a recipe. So this recipe was perfect. The only change I had to do was to use unsweetened applesauce to substitute one egg and add little apple cider vinegar and the cake turned out GREAT.

I found this savory scone recipe in a book named Gifts from the Kitchen. I made a couple of changes to the original recipe, like adding Garam Masala/chili powder and cilantro instead of Italian herbs and seasoning. To make it low in fat I have also substituted plain non fat yogurt for the sour cream and omitted the Parmesan cheese. I also replaced 1/4 cup of all purpose flour with chickpea flour. After all these changes the end product tasted like the baked version of the Indian Pakoda/bonda. More about the taste in the Taste section.
