Unniappam is a popular traditional snack in Kerala. Unni means “small” and appam means “rice cake”. This dish is made of almost all the houses in Kerala. These unniappams will be liked by all. I like to call these “cuteness overloaded” appams. They are so soft and scrumptious that you will end up eating a whole lot.

This is prepared using rice, jaggery, and banana. Traditionally this is made using clarified butter.

We can also add some roasted coconut pieces in the batter but I like it this way.

From so long I badly wanted to try this dish, but without the pan it was impossible. This time when

my in-laws came from India they bought the pan and I made them for the first time, which came out super yummy and soft.

These unniappams can be made using raw rice, but as I didn’t have so much of patience to soak the rice, I used rice flour. This is an oily dish, but once in awhile, it is fine to have these delicious and traditional snacks. Hope you will also try this dish and let me know.

Ingredients:

Banana- 1 no
Rice Flour- 2 Cups
Jaggery- 1 ½ Cups
Cardamom powder - 1 Tsp
Dry Ginger Powder- 1 Tsp
Baking Soda- ½ tsp
Oil- for frying
Water- ¼ Cup

Method:

Grind the bananas to a nice paste. Melt the jaggery using little water over a medium heat. When the jaggery completely melts, strain and keep this aside.

Drop the rice flour along with the melted jaggery into the ground banana and give it a nice blend.

Add little water till they form a pouring consistency.

Transfer this to a bowl. In this add the cardamom powder, dry ginger powder, and baking soda. Give it a nice stir. Keep this batter for about 3- 4 hours.

If you find the batter too runny just add little rice flour and if the batter is thick add little water.

Heat the non-stick unniappam pan. Pour 1 tbsp of oil in all the rounds. Drop a small ladle full of batter into each round and let it fry for sometime. After about 5-7 minutes, flip it to the other side and let it fry until golden brown.

Once they are done, remove them using fork onto a kitchen towel. Repeat with the remaining batter and enjoy delicious unniappams.

I thought about this banana oats loaf cake is when my husband bought two big packs of old fashioned oats. I didn’t know what to do with the huge packs. My daughter told me to try making varity of dishes with oats. From then on in my house every other day it will be either oats dosa or oats upma and so on.

One day I thought of preparing a cake with these oats and there were ripe bananas and within an hour an amazing loaf cake was ready. My kids enjoyed them thoroughly.

I was thinking, when we were kids, making a cake was like a dream come true. We used to have a round electric oven, which is used on special occasions to make a basic vanilla sponge cake which we eagerly waited for. My dad used to prepare yummy desserts like kheer, gulab jamun, ice creams, vanilla cake. We used to wait for sunday as that is when he prepares all these varity of desserts and me and my brothers are his assistants. My mom will be free from cooking on sundays. Feeling nostalgic. And not to forget my dad’s famous fluffy omelette, now also whenever we demand he prepares with so much love and effection.Now I am missing it very badly :( I will post that one day in my blog.

Now we will get whatever we want within minutes, either we can buy it or make it at home. This loaf cake is one such appetizing dessert which will be cherished by all.

Just try this delicious, healthy cake and let me know.

Ingredients:

Banana- 2 nos
Oats- 1 Cup
All Purpose Flour/ Maida 1 Cup
Sugar- ¾ Cup
Vanilla essence- 1 tsp
Raisins- ½ Cup
Butter- ½ Cup
Eggs- 2 nos
Milk- ¼ Cup
Cinnamon Powder- ½ tsp

Method:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Cream the butter and sugar, till pale and fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla essence and beat well with a blender.
Meanwhile mash the bananas, cinnamon powder and add this to the above mixture.
Fold the flour alternating with the milk and mix well. Add raisins. Dust the raisins with 1 tbsp of flour and add to the cake batter or else they will sink to the bottom.
Grease a loaf pan with butter and dust with flour. Pour the batter in the greased cake pan and bake for about 40- 50 minutes or a skewer inserted comes out clean.

The festive season has begun and Christmas is around the corner. I think everyone will be busy in baking goodies, plum cakes, ginger breads and so on. In my busy schedule nowadays, my little one insisted me to bake a cake as its been a while I made something interesting. So one day I started my bake-athon and made egg less banana almond cake, chocolate cupcakes, strawberry cupcakes, salt cookies and corn flake cookies. By the end of the day, I was too tired but happy to see the end result.

I love banana flavored cakes and so whenever there are ripe bananas, I will try to make the delicious banana bread which I had posted earlier. I stumbled upon this egg less version, when I was searching for some other recipe. From so long I was thinking of trying something without egg and got this amazing recipe. My parents love this cake along with their evening tea.

One more thing, last month was my blogs 4th anniversary !!

I could not post anything at that time because of my busy days and nights with my new born.

So here I am, raising a toast on my blog’s birthday and to celebrate this festive season, posting this amazingly delicious, soft and moist cake. Read, try, and enjoy …
