Oats and Apple pancake with, maple syrup
Fluffy gluten free apple pancakes that you can make in your blender!

Makes 6 Pancakes
Ingredients
1 Cup Oats
1 Cup Fresh Yogurt
1 Large Egg
1 Cup Grated Apple
2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
1 Tablespoon Baking powder
1 Tablespoon Honey
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence
½ Teaspoon Cinnamon powder
A Pinch of Salt

Method

In blender pulse the oats till powdered then add rest of the ingredients, except for the grated apple in the blender. Blend until it forms a smooth batter, pausing to scrape down the sides as necessary. Remove this batter into a bowl, stir in the grated apple and mix it well.

Heat a skillet/non-stick pan over medium-low heat, lightly brush the surface with butter.
Take a 1/3 measure cup, fill it with batter and pour this into the pan. Since it's quite thick , spread it lightly into a circle. Let the pancake cook for about 2-3 minutes on medium low flame . Be patient, these pancakes take a little longer to cook.

Once the underside is lightly golden, flip it with a spatula and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden brown on both sides on medium low flame. Repeat with remaining pancakes.

Serve them immediately with maple syrup.

Kale Apple & Walnut Salad with Honey Dressing#Foodieextravaganza

This delicious salad is dressed with a tasty sweet honey vinaigrette. Cubes of feta cheese and raisins laced throughout add sweet and tangy flavor. This is a healthy salad low in sodium and gluten-free. This salad with our honey dressing is just perfect for clean eating, it’s very filling, light, healthy, fiber rich and gluten free. That’s the beauty of homemade salad recipes .

Pick up the leaves gently between your thumbs and fingers.
Gently massage the kale between your fingers until you feel the leaf start to soften.
Massage the leaves until you like the softened texture. DON’T over do it. Or your salad will be unpalatable and mushy. 

Ingredients
5 Cups Chopped Kale
2 Cups Chopped Butter Head Lettuce
1 Large Apple - thinly sliced
¼ Cup Raisins
½ Cup Toasted Walnut - roughly chopped
1oo Grams Feta Cheese - diced
For The Dressing
3 Tablespoons Honey
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1½ Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
1/8 Teaspoon Pink Himalayan Salt
1/8 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black pepper 

Method 

Pull the leafy part off the kale ribs. The ribs are tough and very chewy. Rip them off!
Before you begin making your salad, massage the kale with little salt and oil to make them softer.
Place the kale and butter head lettuce leaves in the bottom of a bowl followed by the rest of the ingredients.
Whisk together the dressing ingredients and pour them over the top of the salad. 

Refrigerate before serving. Enjoy! Very tasty salad and so easy to make.

My Notes
If you prefer to have a softer leaf in your salad you may massage the kale. This is done after you remove the leaf off the ribs of the kale. The process takes about 3 minutes.
Put the kale leaf in a bowl with a bit of oil and a pinch of salt.
Now dig in with your hands. Pick up the leaves gently between your thumbs and fingers.
Gently massage the kale between your finger until you feel the leaf start to soften.
Your kale is massaged as much as you want to continue this process.

Zucchini Bread#BreadBakers

In this Zucchini Bread have grated zucchini and an apple. Zucchini does not add any flavor to the bread but give a moist texture to it. This quick bread is easy to make with a crunch of  nut and coconut.

Zucchini, also known as a courgette, has a smooth dark green skin that isn't removed before grating as we want to see its pretty shreds of green running through the bread. 

This bread is very tasty plain/without any frosting, but you may frost with the cream cheese frosting or any other frosting of your choice.
It has a moist texture, a wonderful aroma of ground cinnamon and nutmeg.
Makes One - 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf.
Ingredients
1/3 Cup Toasted Walnuts - or any other nuts
140 Grams Green Zucchini/Courgette
1 Medium Apple
200 Grams All Purpose Flour
1 Teaspoon Baking soda
¼ Teaspoon Baking powder
¼ Teaspoon Salt
½ Teaspoon Cinnamon powder
¼ Teaspoon Freshly Grated Nutmeg
125 Ml Vegetable Oil
1 Cup (200 Ml Cup) Granulated Sugar
2 Large Eggs
1 Teaspoon Vanilla essence
½ Cup (100 Ml Cup) Desiccated Coconut

Method

Preheat your oven to 180°C , Spray or oil an 9 x 5 x 3 inch (23 x 13 x 8 cm) loaf pan and dust it with flour.
Toast the walnuts for about 5 minutes or until lightly browned and fragrant in the oven. Let cool and then chop coarsely.
Grate the zucchini, and then peel and grate the apple.
In a large bowl, sieve together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.

In the bowl, beat the oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well blended (about 1 minute). Add the flour mixture, beating just until combined. Now add in the grated zucchini and apple and beat lightly till combined .Then fold in the nuts and coconut.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and tap it lightly. 

Bake it in the preheated oven until the bread has risen ( half way through I found the bread has browned so I tent it with an aluminium foil, about an hour and 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 

As this bread was baking a wonderful aroma filled my house.

Place on a wire rack to cool for about 20 minutes and then remove the bread from the pan. 

This bread can be frozen. If, well wrapped, this bread will keep for several days at room temperature (if unfrosted) or for several days in the refrigerator (if frosted). 

This bread was so delicious, that, I, made it twice in a span of 15 days.  

My hubby friends didn't even know that it had zucchini, it was so good.
