Ingredients

Wet Ingredients:

• 100 ml sunflower oil (or coconut oil, avocado oil, or melted lactose-free butter)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Batter in a Blender

No separate mixing bowls needed!

   Add the peeled bananas and oil to your blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.

2. Add Eggs:
   Add the eggs and blend again until fully incorporated.

3. Add Raisins:
   Gradually add the raisins while blending. Blend until they are broken down and integrated—this gives the cake its natural sweetness.

4. Add Oats:
   Slowly add the oats, blending between additions to ensure a smooth texture. The batter should be creamy and moderately thick.

Why You’ll Love This Cake

This cake is a beloved heirloom recipe from the 1980s and 90s, the kind that filled family kitchens with sweet aromas and brought everyone running to the table. It’s simple, incredibly delicious, and topped with nostalgic ingredients like guava paste, sweetened condensed milk, and shredded coconut. Perfect for casual gatherings, Sunday coffee, or as a cozy dessert.

Ingredients

Cake Batter:

• 3 large eggs

• 1 ½ cups (tea) granulated sugar

• ½ cup (tea) vegetable oil

• 1 cup (tea) warm milk

• 2 cups (tea) all-purpose wheat flour

• ½ cup (tea) grated coconut (unsweetened or sweetened)

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence (or extract)

• 1 tablespoon baking powder (e.g., Royal brand)

Topping:

• ½ can (about 200g) sweetened condensed milk

• 150g guava paste (cut into small cubes or thin strips)

• ½ cup (tea) grated coconut (for sprinkling)

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare the Pan

• Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

• Grease a medium-sized rectangular or round baking pan with butter, margarine, or oil, then dust it with wheat flour to prevent sticking.

2. Make the Batter

• In a blender or mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, oil, salt, vanilla essence, and warm milk. Blend for about 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

• Add the wheat flour to the mixture and blend again until fully incorporated and smooth.

• Add the grated coconut and baking powder. Pulse briefly or mix gently just until everything is combined. Do not overmix, as the baking powder activates quickly.

3. Assemble the Cake

• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

• Distribute the guava paste cubes or strips across the top of the batter. They will sink slightly during baking, creating gooey pockets of flavor.

• Sprinkle the top with the remaining grated coconut to add flavor and texture.

• Drizzle condensed milk generously over the top (about ½ can or to taste).

4. Bake

• Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 30–40 minutes, or until:

  • The top is golden brown.

  • A toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (avoid stabbing directly into a guava chunk!).

5. Final Touch (Optional but Recommended)

• Remove from oven and let it cool slightly.

• For extra richness, drizzle more sweetened condensed milk over the warm cake.

• Sprinkle with a little extra grated coconut for decoration.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve warm or at room temperature.

• Pairs perfectly with black coffee or a glass of cold milk.

• For a tropical twist, add a scoop of vanilla or coconut ice cream.

Tips and Variations

• Guava Alternatives: If you can’t find guava paste, try using strawberry jam, quince paste (membrillo), or diced fresh strawberries.

• Extra Moisture: Add 2 tablespoons of sour cream or plain yogurt to the batter for an extra-moist texture.

• Nuts: Add chopped pecans or toasted almonds to the topping for crunch.

• Make it a Bundt Cake: Pour the batter into a greased Bundt pan and layer the guava paste in the center.

Storage

• Store covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.

• Keep in the fridge for up to 5 days (bring to room temperature before serving).

• Freezer-friendly: Wrap slices in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months.

FAQ

Can I use fresh guava instead of guava paste?

Not recommended, as fresh guava won’t give the same concentrated flavor or melt-in texture. Guava paste is thick and sweet, perfect for baking.

Can I use coconut milk instead of regular milk?

Yes! It will enhance the tropical flavor, making the cake even richer.

What size pan should I use?

A standard 9×13-inch (23x33cm) pan works well, or a 10-inch round cake pan. If using a Bundt pan, ensure it’s well-greased.

A fun, modern twist on traditional Japanese rice balls (onigiri), Onigirazu is layered like a sandwich and wrapped in nori—perfect for bento boxes, road trips, or fuss-free lunches. It’s like sushi, but easier to make and eat!

Ingredients

Base Ingredients (for 4 sandwiches):

• 2 cups cooked Japanese short-grain rice (warm, not hot)

• 1 tbsp rice vinegar

• ½ tsp sugar

• ¼ tsp salt

• 4 full-size sheets of nori (seaweed), uncut

Filling Suggestions (mix & match to your taste):

• Proteins: Cooked teriyaki chicken, grilled tofu, seared tuna, tamagoyaki (Japanese omelet), crispy pork katsu, or spam

• Veggies: Sliced avocado, cucumber matchsticks, shredded carrots, pickled radish, or sautéed mushrooms

• Greens: Baby spinach, romaine, or lettuce leaves

• Extras: Fried egg, spicy mayo, Japanese mayo, sesame seeds, soy sauce, wasabi, or pickled ginger

✅ Feel free to get creative—combine textures and flavors like creamy (avocado), crunchy (carrot), and umami-rich (soy or teriyaki).

Directions

1. Prepare seasoned sushi rice:
   While the rice is still warm, gently mix in the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Let it cool slightly to room temperature for easier handling (but don’t refrigerate—it becomes hard and sticky).

2. Set up your workspace:
   Lay a large square of plastic wrap or parchment on a clean surface. Place one sheet of nori (shiny side down, rough side up) in the center, positioned like a diamond (corner pointing up).

3. Add the base layer of rice:
   Spoon about ½ cup of rice into the center of the nori. Using damp fingers or a rice paddle, flatten the rice into a square, about 4 inches wide. Don’t press too hard—keep it fluffy but compact.

4. Layer the fillings:
   Add your chosen protein, veggies, and sauce in layers over the rice square. Keep the layers even and centered so it wraps neatly. Add another small scoop (2–3 tbsp) of rice over the top, pressing lightly to hold everything in place.

5. Wrap it like a gift:
   Fold the corners of the nori over the filling—bottom corner first, then top, then sides—creating a neat square parcel. Use the plastic wrap to press and hold the shape firmly. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes, seam side down, to allow the nori to soften and seal.

6. Slice and serve:
   Using a sharp knife dipped in water (to prevent sticking), slice each onigirazu in half diagonally. Wipe the blade between cuts for clean edges.

Timing & Serving

• Prep Time: 15 minutes

• Cook Time: 5 minutes (depending on fillings)

• Total Time: 20–25 minutes

• Makes: 4 Onigirazu sandwiches

• Calories: ~300 per sandwich (varies by fillings)

Tips & Variations

• Make-ahead friendly: Wrap tightly in plastic and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Best enjoyed at room temperature.

• Kid-friendly picks: Try mild fillings like tamagoyaki + cucumber or grilled chicken + avocado.

• Katsu-style Onigirazu: Bread and fry pork or chicken cutlets, then pair with shredded cabbage and tonkatsu sauce.

• Vegetarian idea: Use teriyaki tofu + spinach + pickled daikon + creamy sesame dressing.

• Picnic pro tip: Wrap sandwiches in wax paper or parchment for easy unwrapping and cleaner hands on the go.

Whether you’re craving a savory sushi-inspired lunch or prepping a colorful bento box, Onigirazu offers all the flavor of a rice bowl in a perfectly portable square.

Benefits

Sometimes, the simplest remedies are the most effective. When popular wisdom meets modern science, everyday ingredients like milk and cinnamon transform into true allies for your well-being.

Used separately, both milk and cinnamon offer numerous health benefits—but when combined, their effects can be even more impressive. Here’s a closer look at why you might want to enjoy this soothing drink, especially before bed.

Top Health Benefits of Milk with Cinnamon

1. Relieves Early Flu Symptoms

Cinnamon helps stimulate blood circulation and provides an energy boost, which can support your body’s natural defenses at the onset of flu or allergies.

• When to drink: At the start of symptoms (fatigue, chills, sore throat).

• What it helps with: Dry coughs, fatigue, and low energy.

• ❗ Note: Not recommended during the elimination phase of a flu (e.g., when mucus is present), as it may not help and could irritate the respiratory tract.

2. ⚖️ Supports Weight Loss

Both milk and cinnamon contain components that can promote healthy metabolism and reduce bloating:

• Milk provides:

  • Niacin – helps your body process sugars.

  • Riboflavin – supports energy production and nervous system function.

  • Calcium & Potassium – reduce water retention and aid muscle function.

• Cinnamon offers:

  • Thermogenic effect – raises body temperature and promotes fat burning.

  • Blood sugar control – curbs cravings and helps regulate energy levels, ideal for those looking to reduce sugar intake.

3. Calming and Soothing Effect

The riboflavin and vitamin B12 in milk play key roles in nerve health and mood regulation, making this drink a natural stress reliever.

• Cinnamon adds a sweet aroma and balances blood sugar, helping you feel emotionally and physically stable.

• Great for evening relaxation or to calm down after a stressful day.

4. Improves Sleep Quality

If you’re struggling with insomnia or restless nights, this comforting drink may help:

• Milk contains:

  • Tryptophan – an amino acid that boosts serotonin and helps produce melatonin, your body’s natural sleep hormone.

  • Vitamin B12 – essential for a well-functioning nervous system and stable mood.

• Cinnamon helps stabilize blood sugar, preventing nighttime energy spikes that interfere with sleep.

️ Drink 30 minutes before bedtime for the best effect.

5. Reduces Menstrual Cramps

Minerals like calcium, potassium, manganese, and iron found in milk can ease premenstrual discomfort and cramping.

• When to start drinking: A few days before your period starts (during the premenstrual phase).

• Cinnamon can enhance circulation and relieve tension in the lower abdomen.

⚠️ Important Warning:
Milk with cinnamon should not be consumed by women with a delayed period or possible pregnancy, as cinnamon may stimulate uterine contractions and pose a risk of miscarriage.

How to Make Cinnamon Milk

This quick recipe is ideal as a bedtime drink or a gentle health booster during the day.

Ingredients:

• 1 glass of milk (whole or skim, depending on your diet)

• 1 stick of cinnamon (avoid powdered cinnamon for this preparation)

‍ Preparation:

1. Pour the milk into a small saucepan and add the cinnamon stick.

2. Heat gently until it just begins to boil.

3. Turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let it sit until it cools to a warm, drinkable temperature.

4. Remove the cinnamon stick and drink warm (not too hot or cold, to avoid disrupting body temperature).

Tips & Best Practices

• Avoid sweeteners for maximum health benefits, or use a small amount of honey (optional).

• Drink regularly before bed for improved sleep and long-term wellness.

• Choose organic milk and Ceylon cinnamon if possible, for better nutrient content and lower toxin risk.

Summary of Benefits

1. Oatmeal & Coconut Cookies

Crunchy, lightly sweet, and full of fiber and healthy fats.

Ingredients (Makes about 20 small cookies)

• 1 large egg

• 3 tablespoons brown sugar or coconut sugar

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)

• 2 tablespoons powdered coconut milk

• 1¾ cups oat flour (gluten-free certified)

• (Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or cinnamon for extra flavor)

• Measuring cup size: 240 ml

You can make oat flour at home by blending gluten-free oats until fine.

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
   Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with coconut oil.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients
   In a medium bowl, whisk the egg and sugar together until well combined and slightly creamy.

3. Add Oil and Milk Powder
   Stir in the melted coconut oil and powdered coconut milk, mixing until smooth.

4. Incorporate Oat Flour
   Add the oat flour gradually, stirring with a spoon or your hands until the dough comes together and stops sticking to your fingers.

5. Roll and Cut
   Place the dough between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Roll it out to your desired thickness—thinner dough makes crispier cookies.

6. Shape the Cookies
   Use fun cookie cutters for kid-friendly shapes, or simply cut into circles or squares with a knife.

7. Bake
   Transfer the cookies to your prepared baking sheet. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

8. Cool
   Remove from the oven and place cookies on a wire rack to cool. They’ll crisp up as they cool.

9. Store
   Once cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

2. Cocoa Cookies (Gluten-Free + Lactose-Free Option)

Rich in chocolate flavor, crisp on the outside, and just sweet enough.

Ingredients (Makes about 18 cookies)

• 1 large egg

• 3 tablespoons sugar (brown, white, or coconut)

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)

• 2 tablespoons powdered milk

  • (For dairy-free, use powdered coconut milk)

   Stir in the cocoa powder and milk powder until fully incorporated.

4. Mix in Flour
   Gradually add the gluten-free flour mix, kneading lightly until a soft, pliable dough forms and doesn’t stick to your hands.

5. Roll Out the Dough
   Place the dough between sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap and roll it out to about ¼ inch (0.5 cm) thickness.

6. Cut into Shapes
   Use round cookie cutters or any fun shape of your choice. Round ones resemble store-bought cookies for a classic look.

7. Bake
   Place the shaped cookies on the baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges firm up slightly. Don’t overbake—cookies continue to harden as they cool.

8. Cool Completely
   Transfer to a wire rack and let cool before storing.
