4-INGREDIENT BLUEBERRY AND BANANA MUFFINS

I'm always looking for simple recipes with very few steps and ingredients that will still give good (or, at least, acceptable) results. Lesser steps/ingredients = lesser time spent in the kitchen, which is good since I'm a SAHM with no helper. Here's another one of those simple recipes that's full of goodness: blueberry and banana muffins with only 4 ingredients! These muffins are sugar free, making them a healthier choice for morning breakfast or afternoon snack, especially for kids.
Simple, healthy and sugar free.

Ingredients:


  • 1 banana, mashed
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries 
  • 1 cup self raising flour 
  • 3/4 cup milk 

*Optional: 1 tbsp lemon juice (Just to add a bit of lemony zing to the muffins)


  1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
  2. Lightly grease the muffin tray or line with paper cups.
  3. Sift flour into a bowl. Stir in milk and lemon juice (if adding) til combined and smooth.
  4. Add in banana and blueberries. Mix to combine.
    Mix to combine.
  5. Spoon mixture evenly into the muffin tray. 
    Spoon evenly into the paper cups.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 mins or til golden (Test with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, then it's fully cooked).
  7. Allow to cool before eating :D

*Tip: If you don't have self-raising flour at home, fret not. You can make your own SR flour with 3 simple ingredients:


  • 1 cup of all purpose flour 
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Whisk all ingredients to combine.

Measurements are to equal each cup of SR flour.

    Perhaps the batter was a little too wet or the muffins were slightly undercooked. Maybe you can try using slightly lesser milk/slightly more flour, or baking them for a little longer. Also, make sure your oven is hot enough before putting them in (Note: Temperatures may vary for different ovens, so adjust according to your oven) :)

YACON SOUP WITH CORN AND CARROT

Was shopping at the usual supermarket recently when I saw a lady promoting something which, from far, looked like sweet potatoes to me. I didn't pay attention to her til she called out to me and handed me a piece to sample. She was promoting organic yacons, not sweet potato. The moment I put it into my mouth, I remembered eating this looong time ago, but because I seldom see it in the supermarkets, I had totally forgotten about such a thing.  The yacon is a traditionally grown for its crisp, sweet-tasting, tuberous roots. Though the root looks like a   sweet potato, the taste and texture are completely different. Its crispy texture, juiciness and mildly sweet taste makes it somewhat similar to water chestnut or snow pear. It can be eaten raw or cook. It is said that yacon  is very high in fiber and low in calories which makes it a healthy and nutritious snack.   Some of the health benefits of yacon include its ability to regulate blood sugar levels, lower 'bad'  choles

CHINESE ARROWROOT SOUP WITH PORK BONES

This is the simple version of the Chinese arrowroot soup (Also known as 粉葛湯 'Fun Kot Tong' in Cantonese). Our family love drinking this soup. It is tasty and cooking it with pork bones and dried squid makes it sweet and refreshing. Some people who like boiling arrowroot together with lotus roots or peanuts, and my mother-in-law usually boils it on its own and drink as 'cooling' tea. Naturally sweet and tasty. If you don't like seafood, you can choose to omit the dried squid. This is how the Chinese arrowroot looks like.  The arrowroot is a type of root plant similar to taro, potato or tapioca. However, it is harder in texture and incredibly starchy. When it is cut up, it has patterns that looks like the ages of a tree trunk. It is usually made into powder and used as thicken agent in cooking. The arrowroot is high in protein and fiber which is very beneficial to our body. Ingredients: 1 medium-sized Chinese arrowroot (Approx 700g) 10 red dates,

LEAN'S @ ATRIA SHOPPING GALLERY

Tong sui are a Cantonese specialty. If you've grown up in a Cantonese family, you must have had tong sui before. The term 'tong sui' literally means 'sugar water'. It is a collective term for any sweet, warm soup or custard served as a dessert at the end of a meal in Cantonese cuisine. My dad is a huge fan of tong sui : red bean soup, peanut soup, barley ginkgo and black sesame soup being his favorite. I'm not really a tong sui person but I remember seeing this Lean's place in Atria that sells a variety of desserts, including tong sui , nyonya kuihs and light meals, so I brought my dad there to try when my parents came over. It was afternoon teatime when we arrived. We were feeling a little hungry, so we ordered 2 nasi lemak bungkus, a cucur udang, steam cakes for my LO, black sesame cream, barley ginkgo and bubur cha cha. Nasi Lemak bungkus (RM3.70). Cucur udang (RM3). Pandan and vanilla steam cake (RM1.50 each). Nasi lemak is a famous lo
