Coconut flour Loaf

Let's face it, baking with gluten free flour can be tricky. some of  these flours require that the baker has an understanding of the textures. So i have had funny experiences with coconut flour and i felt like I wasted my ingredients in the end but trust me, I always turned them into something else as long as it was edible. I don't like to waste my ingredients so I'd typically stick to baking with other flours which I do quite effortlessly.
So after chats with a food buddie and my sister ,I decided to try baking with coconut flour. my sister who believes that I can cook or bake anything was wondering why I needed all the details ,this flour had drilled me that why I needed a Practical recipe someone had followed.
Thank you sisters😁😘.

We also drizzled another batch of it with home made chocolate sauce😁 .(like in the picture below)

Here is a quick recipe just incase you have ever struggled with coconut flour and would want to try . typically coconut flour absorbs a lot of liquid so you wont need as many cups as you would when baking with all purpose flour.

 Ingredients

1 cup coconut flour
3 eggs,
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup coconut oil
A small sachet of powdered milk which is about two tablespoons of powdered milk
1 and 1/2 cup of water
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup sugar /dates powder. Mix together,grease your pan and bake in a preheated oven at 180 
degrees centigrade for 40minutes or till set.
Enjoy😁

We drizzled some home made chocolate sauce on it.Yum!

Cinnamon Plantain fritters

This is my first blog post in 2020, should I say, having an Instagram account has boycotted my blogging? It takes conscious effort to blog when most followers are so active on Instagram and engage directly with posts, but I wont forget my cute blog. Love you forever bloggie, for the times you were great company during all my maternity leave experiences.                   Its been a lockdown period globally because of Covid-19 and I trust you are all keeping safe. Remember, God is our refuge, our very present help in time of need. This too shall pass. This lockdown came with all sorts of cravings for my family members, starting with me,the head chef,haha. Today's snack was prepared within few minutes. You can name it plantain fritters. I think I have a very old blogpost called plantain puffs which is very similar to what i made today. So just before you throw away your overripe plantain, think about this recipe and make a sweet ...

Puff puff

Puff puff is an all time favorite Nigerian Snack. Different countries have a recipe with some sort of fried dough, the names are just different, some of them taste just like puffpuff so its like a global recipe in my opinion.  Funny enough ,in the midst of all my cooking escapades, I never went out of my way to make it myself till this year when some of my friends sent me puffpuff pictures,they know themselves,lol. I looked up different ways of doing it as people have different versions, my conclusion is that you become a pro at doing it each time you try. that's my story,with each attempt,I became better at it. my tip is to be observant with each trial and you'll be a puff puff pro soon. Ingredients 2.5 cups of all purpose flour (US measuring cups) 2 teaspoons of yeast 1/4 cup of sugar 1'5 cups of warm water pinch of salt Put the yeast in water and allow to stand for 10 minutes, add the sugar to the yeast also. in another bowl,mix the flour,pinch of s...

Preserving Green leafy Vegetables by freezing

Today, I am writing about preserving green leafy vegetables. Sometimes, people are unsure if  freezing of leaves reduce the freshness when prepared. After experimenting, I suggest that leaves can be frozen till you're ready to cook. I used Ewedu and Spinach for the latest experiment. I cant resist giving you a quick background on Ewedu Leaf before I discuss its preservation. Ewedu leaf ,for those who dont kow it ,is the local name for the Genus Corchorus . Different common names are used in different contexts, with  the name "jute"  applying to the fibre produced from the plant, 'Mallow-Leaves" for the leaves used as a vegetable. On a lighter note, a friend's 3year old daughter asked for the English name of Ewedu  and her mum put it up on facebook,asking for answers.  she did get  many hilarious answers (you'd understand this better if you are from an ewedu eating background) well, I suggested the english name "we-do"!  Corchorus...
