Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Waffles

May 5th, 2013 Madhuram Posted in Pancakes/Waffles | 2 Comments »

I bought my waffle iron a year ago for Mother’s Day and never thought that I would be using it as often as I do now. I told my husband that it’s going to lie around untouched, collecting dust. But boy was I wrong! My eldest son has become a waffle fan and he wants me to make waffles every weekend. I have made it so often that I know the recipe by heart. So each week I try to give it a different touch by coming up with a variety of combinations. This oatmeal raisin waffle recipe is one of my favorite. If you are a fan of the classic oatmeal raisin cookies, then this waffle will become your favorite as well.

Cranberry Zucchini Snack Cake

April 13th, 2013 Madhuram Posted in Cakes | 6 Comments »

Zucchini is my favorite vegetable to bake with because it gives the baked goods a moist texture and it’s very easy to sneak in any recipe. I have quite a collection of zucchini recipes but still keep looking for more and that’s when I stumbled on this one. I have made changes to the recipe to make it egg free and also to cut down the fat content as it uses a cup of oil. I have used homemade unsweetened applesauce as a fat substitute and yogurt as an egg substitute. I also reduced the quantity of sugar because I was using the juice from the canned pineapple too. Even then the cake was very sweet for us.

Oatmeal Cranberry Zucchini Cookies

March 19th, 2013 Madhuram Posted in Cookies, Kid Pleaser Recipes | 5 Comments »

I wanted to bake something healthy for the kids get-together we have every month. The kids come prepared with a topic already chosen and present it. We also organize other activities which they actually enjoy doing while in fact they are learning a thing or two. Another incentive for them is enjoying a variety of snacks and I try my best not to miss the opportunity to try new recipes. When I was looking for recipes, I found this cookie recipe. I made some changes to make it egg free and accommodate the zucchini I had, instead of the apples mentioned in the original recipe. Just like blueberries, I love baking with zucchini. It melds beautifully in most of the recipes and gives the baked goods a moist texture while boosting the nutritional value. This oatmeal cookie recipe is no exception to it and turned out delicious. Needless to say, it was a hit with the children and they kept asking for more. These cookies won’t get crispy because of the zucchini. Instead it has a cake like chewy texture.
