Going Bananas

Too many bananas over the weekend!

We had one bunch, and I took home another bunch from a family gathering.

Googled all sorts of banana recipes from pies to cakes to ice cream. Managed to use up 15 bananas which is a lot, and I still have about 6 more. Hurhur.

Saturday morning I made jemput-jemput pisang, then I made chocolate banana spring rolls to be refrigerated and fried later, and in the afternoon I took out my Kenwood for some banana cake.


Moist Banana Cake with Greek Yoghurt
from Baking Bites

3 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
227g butter, softened (the recipe used half cup butter, half cup oil)
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla
1 cup plain Greek yoghurt
1 1/2 cups mashed banana (they said approx 3 large, but I used 8 medium sized ones)

Cream butter with sugar, then add the eggs one at a time. Add in half of the flour, then the greek yoghurt, and then rest of the flour. I used my Kenwood mixer for these! Haha so happy can use the K beater :) Then add in the mashed bananas using a spatula and mix well.

You can bake this in a 12 cup (recipe said 10 cup but I doubt it'll fit) bundt pan but I used two 7 inch pans, baked for about 45 minutes at 170 degrees Celsius.

And like as if I didn't have enough bananas, kerepek pisang order came today! Hahaha

CNY Bakes

Back from the long weekend! Spent two days fully at home, cooking and baking. So happy. Day 1 was sindhi briyani and Almond London . Day 2 was ayam lemak cili padi and a batch of almost Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies , but I split the batter into 2: hazelnut, white chocolate, cranberry combination and hazelnut, dark chocolate chip combination. I made the cranberry ones first, they taste awesome. But after I ate the chocolate chip one, say bye bye to cranberry! Nothing beats chocolate. And the white chocolate chips somehow dissolved into the batter, melted. What to do, it's just white chips from Redman. I should try a better brand instead.  Happy new year indeed!

White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars

 I love these! It's like a blondie but to make me feel less guilty, there's oatmeal. Was supposed to make these and freeze for easy morning breakfasts, but seems like they ran out pretty quickly that it didn't require that much freezing. Original recipe here . I made these almost three months ago and I still think about making these again and again. White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats 2 cups flour 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vanilla 2 large eggs 1 1/4 cups butter melted 1 cups white chocolate chips 1 cup dried cranberries This is like one bowl mix so anything goes. Spread batter in two 8x8 square tins, bake for 22 min at 180 degrees Celsius. 

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho
