NUTTY, FRUITY OAT COOKIES

Cookies for teatime (Or breakfast)! These cookies are full of dried fruits, nuts and healthy oats. In texture, they are somewhat chewy with a little extra crunch! They are also sugar free, dairy free and egg free. For this recipe, I used the pre-packed mixed nuts-fruits which I got for my homemade granola bar recipe. If your LO is allergic to nuts, you can choose to use only raisins or other dried fruit mix.
Chewy with a little extra crunch!
They're boosted with healthful ingredients.

Ingredients:

(Makes 9)
  • 3/4 cups quick/steel cut oats
  • 1/2 a large ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened apple puree
  • 1/4 cup mixed nut + dried fruits, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp honey

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C and line a tray with baking paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine banana, apple puree, cinnamon, honey and the nut-fruit mix. Then add oats and mix til just combined.
  3. Scoop tablespoonfuls of mixture on to the prepared baking tray. Flatten a little with the back of the spoon and bake in the preheated oven for 25 - 30 mins. 
    Flatten them a lil before baking.
  4. Leave to cool for 10 mins before removing from tray.

    Hi what can I substitute honey and apple purée with? Or can they be excluded?

    Hi, the apple purée and honey are for flavor n help to bind the cookies together. You could try leaving out the apple purée by substituting it with the same amount of bananas. As for honey, maple syrup works too. I've read that molasses and agave nectar can substitute honey too but I've not tried them...

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 ...

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, ...
