      1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 26 cm (10-inch) round baking pan with butter.

     

      1. In a large bowl, beat together the 2 eggs, sugar, and vanilla sugar until light and fluffy.

    Prepare the Apples:

    Easy and Healthy Oatmeal and Apple Loaf: No Sugar, No Flour!

    Easy and Healthy Oatmeal and Apple Loaf: No Sugar, No Flour!

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients (Serves 8-10)

    • 1 cup fine rolled oats
    • 3 medium apples
    • 1/2 cup water
    • 1 banana, mashed
    • 3.5 ounces (100 g) dried blueberries
    • 3.5 ounces (100 g) raisins
    • 2 eggs
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder (optional, for extra flavor)
    • 1/2 cup nuts, chopped (e.g., walnuts, almonds, or pecans)

    Nutritional Information (Per Serving)

    • Calories: 160
    • Protein: 4 g
    • Carbohydrates: 30 g
    • Dietary Fiber: 4 g
    • Sugars: 15 g (natural sugars from fruits)
    • Fat: 5 g
    • Saturated Fat: 1 g
    • Cholesterol: 30 mg
    • Sodium: 50 mg

    Step-by-Step Preparation

    Step 1: Soak the Dried Fruits

    1. Place the dried blueberries and raisins into separate bowls. Cover each with hot water and let them soak for 20 minutes. This step plumps up the dried fruits, making them softer and more flavorful.
    2. Drain the soaked fruits and gently pat them dry with kitchen paper to remove any excess moisture.

    Step 2: Prepare the Oats

    1. Grind 1 cup of fine rolled oats in a blender until they reach a flour-like consistency. This creates the base of the loaf and replaces traditional flour, keeping the recipe gluten-free and packed with fiber.
    2. Transfer the ground oats to a large mixing bowl and set aside.

    Step 3: Prepare the Apples

    1. Wash the apples, remove the cores and stems, and cut them into large cubes.
    2. Blend the apple cubes with 1/2 cup of water until smooth. This apple puree adds natural sweetness and moisture to the loaf.
    3. Pour the apple mixture over the ground oats in the mixing bowl and mix well to combine.

    Step 4: Prepare the Banana

    1. Peel and mash 1 banana with a fork until smooth. The banana not only sweetens the loaf but also acts as a natural binder, helping to hold the ingredients together.
    2. Add the mashed banana to the oat and apple mixture and stir until well combined.

    Step 5: Combine Ingredients

    1. Add the soaked and drained raisins and blueberries to the oat mixture. Stir well to evenly distribute the dried fruits throughout the batter.
    2. Add 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder (if using) to the mixture. The eggs will provide structure and lift, while the cinnamon adds a warm, aromatic flavor.
    3. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined and the batter is smooth.

    Step 6: Prepare the Baking Tin

    1. Line a rectangular loaf tin (about 9 x 5 inches) with baking paper, allowing some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
    2. Pour the mixture into the lined tin and spread it evenly with a spatula, smoothing the top.

    Step 7: Add the Nuts

    1. Chop 1/2 cup of your chosen nuts (such as walnuts, almonds, or pecans) into small pieces.
    2. Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the top of the mixture, pressing them down slightly so they adhere to the batter. This adds a lovely crunch to the top of the loaf.

    Step 8: Bake

    1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
    2. Once the oven is heated, place the loaf tin in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This indicates that the loaf is fully cooked through.

    Step 9: Cool and Serve

    1. Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the tin for about 10 minutes. This allows the loaf to set slightly, making it easier to handle.
    2. Once cooled, lift the loaf out of the tin using the baking paper overhang. Place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
    3. Slice the loaf and serve with nonfat yogurt and fresh  fruit for an extra touch of freshness and flavor.

    Serving and Storage Tips

    • Serve slices of this loaf warm or at room temperature, topped with a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of honey if desired.
    • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The loaf can also be frozen for up to a month; thaw at room temperature before serving.
    • Customization: Feel free to experiment with different  dried fruits, nuts, or spices like nutmeg or cardamom to suit your taste preferences.

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    1. Prepare the Batter

    1. Mash the Banana: In a medium bowl, mash 1 ripe banana with a fork until smooth and free of large lumps. A ripe banana works best as it adds natural sweetness and moisture to the pancake.
    2. Add the Egg and Sugar: Add 1 large egg and 3 tablespoons of sugar to the mashed banana. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined and the sugar begins to dissolve.
    3. Add Oil and Flour: Gradually add 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil, 5 tablespoons (40 g) of flour, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder to the mixture. Stir until a smooth batter forms, ensuring there are no lumps. The batter should be thick but pourable.

    2. Cook the pancake

    1. Heat the Pan: Lightly brush a non-stick pan with a small amount of vegetable oil and heat over medium heat.
    2. Pour the Batter: Pour the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly to form a thick pancake.

    4. Flip and Cook Again: Carefully flip the pancake using a spatula. Cook the other side for an additional 4-5 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through.

    Tips for the Best 1-Minute Cake

    • Ripe Bananas: Make sure to use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture. Overripe bananas with brown spots are ideal as they are sweeter and mash easily.
    • Enhance Flavor: For an extra burst of flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon, a splash of vanilla extract, or a handful of chocolate chips to the batter.
    • Substitutions: If you don’t have baking powder, you can use a pinch of baking soda instead. For a healthier option, you can replace some or all of the sugar with a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup.

    Ingredients:

     

    150g sugar
    40g water
    100g raw skinned almonds

    Preparation:

    Caramelize the sugar: In a non-stick pan, place the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat until the sugar completely melts and turns golden. Be careful! Do not stir while it melts, as crystals may form.
    Add the almonds: Once the caramel is ready, add the almonds and mix quickly with a wooden spoon until they are completely covered.
    Cool and blend: Pour the mixture onto a baking paper-lined tray and allow to cool completely. Once cool, blend the caramelized almonds in a food processor until you get the desired texture, either in large pieces or as a paste.
    Tips:

    Temperature: It is important to control the temperature of the caramel. If it burns, the flavor will become bitter.
    Speed: Once you add the almonds, work quickly so that the caramel does not harden too much.
    Variations: You can add other nuts such as walnuts or hazelnuts. You can also add a pinch of salt to bring out the flavors.
    Uses: Almond praline can be used to decorate ice cream, cakes, cookies, or simply eaten by the spoonful.
    And that’s it! You now have your homemade almond praline.

    Do you want to know some recipes where you can use your almond praline? I can recommend a few ideas:

    Chocolate brownies with praline: Add pieces of praline to the brownie batter for a crunchy, sweet touch.

    Irresistible 10-Minute Apple Cake: A Speedy Delight for Busy Gourmets

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

    For this speedy yet sophisticated cake, you’ll need:

    For the Cake Batter:

    • 200g (7.05 oz) all-purpose flour
    • 10g (2 teaspoons) baking powder
    • 125g (4.4 oz) granulated sugar
    • 8g (1 pack) vanilla sugar
    • A pinch of salt
    • 125g (4.4 oz) unsalted butter, softened
    • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
    • 45ml (3 tablespoons) milk

    For the Topping:

    • 4 medium apples (about 600g or 21 oz total)
    • 30g (1.05 oz) frozen butter
    • 5g (1 teaspoon) cinnamon sugar

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    1. Preparing the Batter (5 minutes)

    I begin by preheating the oven to 180°C (356°F) with both top and bottom heat. This ensures our oven is at the perfect temperature when our cake is ready to bake.

    In a large mixing bowl, I sift together the flour and baking powder. Sifting is crucial as it aerates the flour, leading to a lighter, fluffier cake texture. To this, I add the sugar, vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt.

    Next, I add the softened butter and eggs to the dry ingredients. Using an electric mixer, I beat the mixture on medium speed for 2 minutes. This step is crucial – it not only combines the ingredients but also incorporates air into the batter, which will help our cake rise beautifully.

    The result is a smooth, creamy batter that’s rich in flavor and primed for baking. I transfer about two-thirds of this batter into a greased 26cm (10-inch) springform pan, spreading it evenly to create a smooth base for our apples.

    2. Preparing the Apples (3 minutes)

    While efficiency is key in this recipe, I don’t compromise on the quality of our star ingredient – the apples. I quickly peel, quarter, and slice the apples into thin wedges. The thinness of the slices is important as it allows the apples to cook through perfectly in our short baking time.

    With artistic flair, I arrange these apple slices in a circular pattern on top of the batter in the pan. This not only ensures even distribution of fruit throughout the cake but also creates a visually stunning pattern that will impress any guest.

    3. Finishing Touches (2 minutes)

    To the remaining third of our batter, I add the milk and quickly mix it in. This addition of liquid helps to create a softer, more pourable consistency. I then spread this mixture evenly over the arranged apples. This top layer of batter will bake into a delicious golden crust, encasing the apples and creating a perfect contrast of textures.

    For the final touch of indulgence, I grate the frozen butter over the top of the cake. The cold butter will melt during baking, creating pockets of richness throughout the cake. A sprinkle of cinnamon sugar adds a warm, spicy note that perfectly complements the apples.

    4. Baking to Perfection (40 minutes)

    With our cake assembled in record time, it’s ready for the oven. I bake it at 180°C (356°F) for approximately 40 minutes. During this time, a heavenly aroma of apples and cinnamon will fill your kitchen – a tantalizing preview of the deliciousness to come.

    The cake is done when it’s golden brown on top and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The apples should be tender, and the cake should have a slight spring when gently pressed.

    5. Serving and Enjoying

    Once baked, I remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. This brief resting period allows the cake to set, making it easier to slice and serve.

    After cooling, I release the springform pan and transfer the cake to a serving plate. This cake is delicious served warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. It’s equally enjoyable at room temperature, making it perfect for picnics or lunchboxes.
