Easy Chocolate Muffins

Made these in 2 batches using same recipe, but, different cocoa powder & different vinegar! You will notice the difference in the colour, they are both wonderful, yet, easy to make. I only used 45mins in total from starting to measure the ingredients till the muffins are ready to be eaten!

This is the 1st batch made using Hershey's cocoa powder and Apple Cidar Vinegar!


This is the 2nd batch, using 'Red Man' Cocoa Powder with White Vinegar!

Tasted it, taste is wonderful!

Mixed Berries Yoghurt Muffins

I must be crazy today! Made 3 types of bread, mini donuts and now: muffins!

While browsing Happy Hombaker's blog, MIL asked if the muffins were made by me? I said no, somehow, I can make some too, very easy. Hence, here's what I got! Get into baking again..

Using balance of plain yoghurt from making mini donuts, add half cup Mixed Berries Yoghurt, add some lemon juice....

Presenting my creation of Mixed Berries Yoghurt Muffins.

I am too eagle to try this creation, so, peel open before it's cooled. The crust is crispy, taste yummy, with a little sour, fruity, sweetness is just right.

• 200gm Top Flour
• 2tsp baking powder
• 4tsp lemon juice
• 50gm plain yoghurt
• 100gm mixed berries yoghurt
• 100gm brown sugar
• 100gm butter
• 2 eggs

How I do it:

1. Melt butter and sugar in double boiler, stir with hand whisk till well blend. Cool slightly.
2. Add yoghurt, lemon juice, eggs into the butter mixture, stir till combine.
3. Add sifted flour and baking powder and fold lightly.
4. Spoon into muffins tray lay with muffin cups till 2/3 full. Bake at 180deg C for 25mins or until the skewer comes out clean.
5. Cool on wire rack.

Baked Mini Donuts

After making 3 loaf of bread for breakfast. It's about time for tea!

Hence, show my mother-in-law how to make this easy to bake Mini Donuts.

With the previous bad experience of dusting the chocolate, this time, I simply melt eddible chocolate bars with microwave and dip the donuts into them. MIL helped to dip the chocolate rice.

This is so much neater and less messy!

Wholemeal Bread

This is my usual breakfast!

This loaf will last me a week as there is no one in the family will share this super healthy bread with me. I will normally eat them with some margerine!

I could not wait till it's cooled before slicing them.. This is very soft and it's not easily sliced.

Ingredients cater for 1 loaf tin:
125gm bread flour
125gm whole wheat flour

50gm WholeGrain Toppings from RedMan
40gm butter
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup water
40gm brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp instant dry yeast

How I do it:

1. Mix water, sugar, egg, dry yeast in a large bowl. Beat at low speed until well blended. Add the flour, change to medium speed until well the dough is smooth. Cut in the butter at low speen until well mixed. Again change to medium speed and mix until the dough can be stretched into a thin sheet.

2. Remove from mixer and place in a greased bowl, cover with damp cloth and let rise for 90mins.

3. Divide the dough into 3 portion, knead dough into ball and let rest on the working table for 10mins. Use rolling pin to roll up each portion place dough on a greased baking sheet to rest for 15 to 20mins.

4. With a rolling pin, roll each dough into square piece and roll up tightly. Place them into the baking tin, cover with damp cloth and let it rise till abt 90% of the tin.

5. Sprinkle some WholeGrain Toppings on the top and place them in the oven (preheat to 170deg c) and bake for 25 to 30mins (or golden brown).

Garlic Bread

My hubby likes to eat Garlic buns from a bakery shop near my parents place. So, I decided to make the bread using the Hokkaido Milky Loaf recipe topped with garlic spread, fresh garlic and saseme seeds.

I do not know when to cut the bread to add the spread and garlic, so I have them added before the 2nd proofing. This result the big messy toppings and I could not get the bun that I wanted. Hence, this has become garlic loaf instead!

I like the texture of the Milky Loaf!

Tiramisu in cups!

It's a long time since I made my last Tiramisu. I bought a variety of cups during my recent trip to Daiso, so decided to make something in them and the 1st thing I have in mind is Tiramisu.

I have only make half of my usual recipe and I further divide them into 2 flavours: GreenTea and Original.

I like this cup, it's round with 3 tiny 'legs'.
This GreenTea Tiramisu has no alcahol and has a very refreshing taste.
