Breakfast Waffles 





Some days I wake up craving for spicy food for breakfast whilst on other days it can get a bit dramatic, instead of going to a cafe, I might as well whip up some waffles at home itself. Especially if you have berries sitting in the fridge, it’s the best way to put it to use. 😋 
The tartness from the berries adds the perfect flavor to the light, crispy and slightly sweet waffles.. Love it with a cup of coffee!  Postpartum cravings have been everywhere..will be posting more recipes soon..Stay tuned! 

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon table salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1½ teaspoons sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla
  • Butter
  • Berries
  • Maple syrup/ agave syrup/ honey/ chocolate sauce (as per liking)

Instructions:

1. Whisk all the dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
In another bowl, mix all the wet ingredients. 
2. Add in the dry ingredients gradually and mix well using a whisk until no lumps can be seen. Do not worry about over mixing. 

3. Next, grease your waffle plate with butter, scoop and pour a ladleful of batter and allow to cook for 7-8 minutes depending on the temperature of the waffle maker. 

Drizzle maple syrup and top up with berries and enjoy!

Ps: Pro tip: If you want your waffles to be crispy and warm, keep the cooked waffles in a slightly warm oven with the broiler function on.

You can always double or triple the recipe and make extra batches. Store them in a ziplock bag in your freezer, thaw and microwave and use as required.

Makes a great school tiffin box meal too.

Can add chocolate for kids after pouring batter to the waffle plate

 Skillet Granola



I love days when my day starts with a bowl of Granola, it is light on the tummy, super Nutritious and delicous. Granola once prepared, can be stored in an air tight container and can be used upto a couple of months. The case here is that, Granola always vanishes to thin air, and mostly I will have to hid the jar, or else the next morning the jar gets empty. I love how the sweet crunchy oats marries well with the beaten yogurt and fresh fruits and berries.

Such an underrated breakfast I must say. I feel so pumped up in the morning whenever I eat granola. The perfect breakfast when you have little to no time to prepare food for yourself. The skillet granola is such a good hack, when you want to make granola and you don't have access to oven. While making on a skillet, make sure you keep stirring the granola, so that the rolled oats does not get burnt, especially once you add honey, the chances of burning are high. But making granola on a skillet is much easier, as you can make sure, nothing gets burnt and the granola gets crispy pretty quickly. Do try this super easy breakfast and I am sure you will love it!


Ingredients :

  • 1 1/2 - 2 cups whole Rolled Oats
  • 1/4 cup Coconut oil
  • 5-6 tbsp Honey/ maple syrup
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Essence 
  • Salt, a pinch
  • 1/4 cup Healthy Nut Mix
  • 1/2 cup Yogurt
  • 1/4 cup berries
  • Fresh fruits of your choice
  • 1 tsp Chia seeds

Instructions:

  1. In a pan, pour coconut oil and add in your rolled oats, keep tossing until crisp.
  2. Once you feel the oats are crisp, add in your sweetener, honey. Combine well.
  3. Next add Vanilla Essence, salt, and health nuts mix and toss again.

  4. Whilst hot, transfer the granola to a baking paper and allow to cool.

  5. You may tap and shape into a rectangle, either way, allow to cool and crisp. Once cooled, break the granola pieces between your fingers/ palms so that the granola is not joined into a bar.
  6. In a bowl, whisk yogurt well, and add the crisp granola as topping along with fresh fruits and berrie and a teaspoon of chia seeds.

Blueberry Dutch Baby Pancakes




May peace and blessings be upon you all.

Okay, I am back here after a month of vacay and it literally feels likes ages, my in laws were here with me and it was a month well spent, alhamdulilah ❤ . Ramadan is just a few days away and I cannot wait to share with you iftar recipes. But today I am presenting you guys with German origin custard-crusty pancakes called Dutch Baby Pancakes with a Blueberry twist. Weekend breakfast is always a thing! If you have such easy on-the-go recipes in hand to kickstart an awesome weekend, why worry?! 😀

My little one is having her spring break and I am more happy than her to get some relief from e-learning 😁😁 Now weekends are the only days I get to experiment on breakfasts and one fine day I made these delicious, super easy pancakes and my daughter wiped clean her plate. When a fussy eater like her, likes such easy breakfasts, the recipe definitely becomes a keeper!

So easy to prepare, yet it has its own speciality. I call it a simple yet effective breakfast because you just have to prepare the batter and pour out the contents to your butter greased cast iron pan and the oven does the job for you. As simple as that! So you can summarize Dutch babies as crepes in the form of pancakes. 

You may use any pan or casserole that is oven safe, the batter puffs up as heat hits the pan. I have added a few blueberries before baking, you may either use a Compote (if you dislike blueberry's natural sourness), add other berries like raspberry or blackberry or avoid all and keep it plain. Serve it right away by adding in fresh fruits, or a Sprinkle of Icing sugar or strawberry sauce, maple syrup, honey butter etc. I'd also recommend using room temperature ingredients for better texture. Use butter liberally so that the batter does not stick to the pan. Without further delay let's get our basic ingredients that everyone has in their pantries. And bake a huge giant pancake that is the easiest and mess free!  



Ingredients :

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup patent flour/ all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup full fat milk at room temperature  
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract 
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1/4 Blueberries or Blueberry Compote (any berries of your choice)


Instructions:

  1. Preheat the cast iron pan in a preheated oven at 200 °C for around 5 minutes. 
  2. In a bowl incorporate all the ingredients like eggs, flour, milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla and combine well using a whisk. 
  3. Now safely remove the cast iron pan from the oven using mittens and drop in 3 tbsp of butter and swirl the pan so that the bottom of the pan is covered in butter. 
  4. Pour in your batter to the hot and buttered pan and drop in your blueberries, preferably Compote and allow to bake for 15-18 minutes, until the Dutch baby pancake is puffed or the sides turn golden brown at the edges. 
  5. Carefully remove the pan from the hot oven using mittens and serve immediately with your favorite toppings and sauce. 


Notes:
  • Use cast iron for best results. However any type of Dutch oven or oven safe casserole dish would do. 
  • Dutch Baby Pancakes require a good amount of butter, which adds to its taste and also helps the pancake to come off the pan easily. 
  • The pancake can rise and have a shapeless outcome which is totally natural and has a divine beauty in itself. 
  • You may prepare these pancakes without any berries or you may use any berry sauce, fresh fruits or Icing sugar as a garnish.

Classic Pancake with Berries and Maple Syrup (The best pancake recipe ever)





Like who doesn't love pancakes? Pancakes are not only delicious but a delight to the eyes. There is a whole lot of variety of pancakes on the Internet, but once in a while, I like to stick to my classic pancake recipe.

I love to have them on a busy morning when I crave for a dessert-like delicious morning meal. I am a berry kinda person, I love to load my pancakes with a whole lot of berries, berries are not only so pretty and glamorous but it has quite a lot of health benefits too and I love to include them in my diet. When in the mood to indulge, I do replace the maple syrup with some hot and gooey melted chocolate. Gulp, a deadly combination indeed!

Pancakes can be made from scratch from homes of any type of ethnicity, because which house doesn't have flour, milk, and eggs? You can whip up these pancakes and have an instant breakie in no more than 15 minutes, its a piece of cake! Take the ingredients, mix them up, pour a ⅓ cup of the batter onto a pan and flip them when the sides turn brown/ have small bubbles on top- as simple as that! No more figuring out which is the best recipe to follow for the most divine pancakes right in the morning. Classic pancakes with freshly squeezed orange juice are my favorite take on a lazy morning. What is your favorite combination and add-ons?!


Without further ado, let's move on to the ingredients!





Ingredients

  • 1½ Cups of All Purpose Flour
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar (Optional)
  • 1 Egg
  • 1¼ Cup Milk
  • ¼ Cup Melted Butter
  • ½ Teaspoon Vanilla Essence
  • A pinch of salt

  3. Add the melted butter and vanilla essence to the egg and milk and use a fork to mix together until everything is well combined.
  4. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet. Fold the batter together with a wooden spoon until there are no longer any large lumps.
  5. To cook the pancakes heat a heavy based pan like cast iron over medium-low heat. When the pan is hot add a small amount of butter and ⅓ cup of the pancakes batter.
  6. Cook the pancake for 2-3 minutes each side. Repeat with remaining batter



Serve the pancakes stacked high with butter and maple syrup. Enjoy!
