Chef Baker

Hey guys. I’m back… again. Let me simply warn you that the following recipe is HEALTHY, and I would like to thank Epicurious.com for this recipe. Very delicious!

Ingredients:

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

1 cup buttermilk

1 large egg, beaten lightly

1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup dried currants

Cool fact: This recipe originates from Louisiana in the 1940s.

Preparation:

1. In a large bowl, combine oats and buttermilk and let stand 1 hour.

2. Preheat oven to 400°F. and butter twelve 1/2-cup muffin tins.

3. Add egg, sugar and butter to oat mixture, stirring until just combined.

4. Into another large bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda and add to oat mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in currants.

5. Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin tins. Bake muffins in middle of oven until golden and a tester comes out clean, about 20 minutes.

You got to wait for something that tastes so good,

These muffins are extremely delicious, but as you have read, this recipe takes about and hour and a half. Thank goodness I did not have to go to another get-together or a party, I would have had zero free-time! And, I can’t stress this enough, these were very good muffins.

Also known as C.C.C. Hey guys, sorry I’ve been gone awhile, got a lot of catching up to do.

 

I just wanted to say thank you to Kid’s Choice Cookbook because most of my recipe ideas come from them :D !

Hey guys! I don’t think I’ve been gone for a long time but… anyways let’s get BAKING!

500ml (2 cups)  All purpose flour

75ml (1/3 cups)  Splenda/artificial sugar

20ml (4 tsp) Baking powder

5ml (1 tsp) Salt

2 Eggs

375ml (1 1/2 cups) 2% milk

125ml (1/2 cup) Cooked mashed potatoes

175ml (3/4 cup) Grated ‘light’ Cheddar cheese

75ml (1/3 cup) Margarine, melted

Got all that? Great! Let’s get started;

1. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Clelsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit). Line muffin tins with paper cups (or spray with vegetable oil spray).

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, Splenda (or your artificial sugar), baking powder and salt.

3. In a medium-sized, mixing bowl, beat eggs well with an electric mixer or a wooden spoon. 

4. Stir in the milk, mashed potatoes, grated cheese, and melted margarine. Mix well!

5. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until mixed (20 strokes).

6. Spoon the batter into the paper lined muffin tins and bake at 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit) for 25 minutes, or until firm and lightlty browned.

Great Surprise!

When I first read the title of this recipe I thought it sounded just plain old disgusting. But trust me, it tastes really good! I made these during the week-end and they were are gone the next morning. Then I couldn’t make any more because I had no more eggs or potatoes. But anyways, potato and cheese muffins are really delicious!

Hey people of the world, but sorry this isn’t a real post. So anyways, my page has all those healthy stuff in the background even though 2 out of 3 of my posts were about unhealthy dishes. But don’t worry! For the healthier people, I will be posting better dishes for you.

Rules/Preparation:

4. Slowly blend in the flour and the Splenda (or your artificial sugar).
5. Add the vanilla and mix very well.
6. When you are done, roll out the dough into 36 small balls and place on a cookie sheet. Press flat with a floured fork.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes.

I hope when it’s finished baking, you will like it as much as I did, Chef Baker

New Year’s Eve Party!

I baked these cookies for a New Year’s Eve Party. And guess what? They were all gone within 10 minutes, there were only 11 people including me! Oh, and I had to take extra precautions not to mess this batch up somehow… Anyways, I will be writing my next post in about a week or two, 

                                                                  Chef Baker.    

If you did them the way I wrote it, it should look like these:

But you can also put some peanut butter over them and make it look like this:

It’s hard pick a type of dish to make. There are just way, way to many. Yet my blog is only about baking.  A good part, it narrows down my search. It’s also hard to find a recipe book because every single time I ask for a baking book, the cashier or secretary brings me to a large divided section of recipes of cookies, cakes, pastries etc. I ask them if they have a baking book not only about desserts but other types of baking, they reply with the longest “No” you have ever heard, followed by a “We don’t sell any of those.”. Why do I ask for baking books instead of cook books? Because I don’t really want to buy a cookbook with most of the recipes about frying, boiling or whatever.  I’m not naming stores, but I’ve looked in a few. Any how, I will find a book sooner or later.

Hey guys. Today, I’m going to be testing my own;

BANANA BREAD!

This is what you will need (A very simple bake.):

2                                           Eggs                                     

50ml (1/4 cup)                      Brown sugar

50ml (1/4 cup)                      Vegetable oil

250ml (1 cup)                        Mashed ripe bananas

50ml (1/4 cup)                       Unsweetened applesauce

500ml (2 cups)                       All purpose flour

125ml (1/2 cup)                     Splenda (Zero calorie sweetener.)

5ml (1 tsp)                              Baking powder

5ml (1 tsp)                               Baking soda

2ml (1/2 tsp)                            Salt

125ml (1/2 cup)                        Chopped walnuts

A few sprays                            Vegetable oil spray

1.5L                                         Loaf pan

Have all those ingredients? Great! Let’s start the hard stuff:

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (359 degrees Fahrenheit). Spray a 1.5L loaf pan with vegetable oil spray and dust with flour.
2. Beat eggs, brown sugar, vegetable oil, mashed ripe bananas, and applesauce with and electric beater or wooden spoon, until well mixed.
3. In a SEPARATE BOWL, mix together the flour, Splenda, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Add flour mixture and the egg mixture and stir, just until they’re both combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Let cool for 15 minutes, then turn out into a wire rack to cool completely.

Mmmm! Sounds delicious! Now (by using my now known “catch phrase”) I’m going to go check out my BANANA BREAD!  

                                             Cheers, Chef Baker

Turned out alright… I guess…

You would not guess what mistake I did. If you scroll up a bit, to the amount of mashed ripe bananas, I wrote to mash 250ml (1 cup) of  bananas. And, silly me, I put 500ml (2 cups) of mashed bananas. My bread tasted, extremely fruity.I can barely taste the brown sugar (If you’re wondering, I put the right amount of that ingredient) and the apple sauce was bland, at least I got a bit more potassium, right? . All in all, it was quite satisfying. 

                                              Cheers to banana lovers, Chef Baker

If you did the recipe carefully step by step (unlike me) it should turn out like this:
