Eggless Banana Cupcakes

Hi Friends,
Cupcakes are one of the most liked desserts by all. They are a treat to almost all ages from children to aged.

This Banana cupcakes recipe uses ripe bananas which otherwise go waste.You need to try this because of they are
🍌Eggless
🍌Refined Sugarfree
🍌Wholewheat
🍌Preservative free
🍌No artificial colours

I have used Jaggery in place of sugar in cupcakes which is one of the healthiest substitute to processed refined sugar.I have used castor coconut sugar in frosting.

I like to substitute all purpose flour in my recipes with any whole grain flour wherever it fits.

I have made chocolate frosting at home with organic Cocoa powder. So you can adjust the sweetness and not depend on sweetened frosting/chocolate which may have too much sugar.

Cupcakes are ready.Let them cool on a cooling rack.


Lets see the frosting recipe:
INGREDIENTS:
Butter 1 cup 
Unsweetened cocoa powder 3/4 cup
Whole milk 1 to 2 tsp
Vanilla extract 2 to 3 tsp

3.Add sugar slowly and blend again on medium speed till It is the right consistency.
4.Adjust milk as necessary.

Tambittu -North Karnataka style roasted gram laddoo

. North Karnataka special...Tambittu is one of the most popular laddoos /sweet balls made for Nagara Panchami. It is a festival of praying and offering milk to Nag devata (Snake God) who is worshipped in the form of stone, clay idol, or silver idol. In this recipe, Roasted gram (puthani) is powdered and then mixed with jaggery and other items to make laddoos. These are offered as Naivedyam to Nag devata and then eaten by all in the family. One of the most traditional sweets that have come down from generations...which is not only refined sugar-free...but so nutritious and healthy since Roasted gram provides with a good amount of fiber and protein. These are also gluten-free. This is my Mother's recipe which she makes every year for this Festival. Time to treasure all such age-old healthy recipes and pass it on to our future generations. So let's dive into the recipe. INGREDIENTS; Roasted gram /Puthani 2 cups Grated/crushed Jaggery 1 cup Ghee 3/4 cup Se...

Eggless Brazilian Cheese Bread

Pao de Queijo (pronounced as pown -deh- kay-zho) aka Brazilian Cheese Bread is a small baked cheese bun, a popular snack and breakfast food that originated in the state Minas Gerais of Brazil. These are bread/buns usually made with tapioca flour, milk, oil, cheese, salt, and egg/egg substitute. Since I don't use eggs in my baking I have used vinegar instead. These are soft, chewy and so addictive. I love to make healthy bakes from all around the world. Inspired by this YouTube video by Something Dave and I gave it a try as it was an eggless version.These came out so well. These are super simple and easy to make with just five ingredients. A must try because they are gluten-free, contain no yeast, no baking powder, yet so soft and cheesy😋 I had never tried baking with tapioca flour...and found it so interesting to bake with. The dough is too sticky and you will need some extra flour to be dusted to make balls out of it. I have used plant-based pa...

Huli pudi (Sambar Powder) North Karnataka style

Huli Pudi is one of the authentic traditional Sambar powders which has been passed on from generation to generation. This is specially made in North Karnataka. There is a wide variety of sambar powders not only within Karnataka but within South India. Each region has it's own way of adding ingredients and making them. In North Karnataka brahmin families, you can usually see two types of Sambars, firstly 'Saaru ' which can also be called Rasam with Toor dal. The consistency is thin and usually made with Tur dal and tomatoes or Tamarind. The other one is 'Huli' which is thicker in consistency and usually includes some veggies or greens. So here I am sharing the Sambar powder that is used to make a typical Huli. This is so unique and different from South Karnataka Sambar powders. The main difference being the omission of urad dal and Tur dal. This powder is just made with dried spices. This can be made in advance in large quantities/batches and stored in a...
