It’s the season for those glorious red carrots!I’ve baked the basic carrot cake, with cream cheese frosting, earlier but wanted to try something different this time. I went with whole wheat flour and brown sugar to keep it slightly healthier and made it into muffons, minus frosting, for fuss free carrot-y goodness 🙂
Playing with texture is a great way to amplify the food experience. Varying textures in food make each bite different and interesting. It could the squidgy mousse filling of a dessert, a crackly snap of a topping, pops of nuttiness with dry fruits, crunchy edges of the corner pieces and so much more! In this case, it is the crunch of the crumb topping and the bursts of flavour from the blueberries within 🙂 So much fun to eat these muffins!
As the year comes to an end, I figure I should share a quick, easy, relatively healthy dessert recipe for you to bring in 2020 with 🙂
These muffins are super easy to make and are loaded with all the good flavour bombs – banana, chocolate and tahini- bound together with whole wheat flour. Yum!
I love baking with coffee (there are quite a few recipes on the blog) but I also love a good, strong cup of coffee to start the day or to pick me up during a long day. Or sometimes just to keep me warm when it’s cold outside 🙂
Growing up in Delhi, we only got regular instant coffee and I was never a big fan. As the coffee shop craze grew, I became a cappuccino person. But once I moved to Hyderabad, I was introduced to the marvelous world of filter coffee! South Indian filter coffee is something else! When made right, it is strong, delicious, fragrant and super comforting. These muffins try to take that feeling and translate it into dessert.
It’s mango season! The season for gorging on the many varieties of delicious,sweet, juicy mangoes 😍😍
While wolfing down kilos of mangoes is great, it’s also fun to transform the fruit into delectable desserts. Even more joy! Case in point : the mango cheesecake mousse and these moist mango cupcakes.
