Oat & Chocolate Chips Cookies

I bookmarked this as love the combination of oat and chocolate chips. A bit of healthy ingredients makes me less sinful to munch on them. 😂 Another part I love is the simple method of prepararation and allows me to bake them with the kids. 

I normally weigh them out n set on a tray and let them decide who do which portion. Dry or Wet or Bowl I or II for today. Then they take their places to handle the ingredients. 

They still get to take turns to help each other roles too. To have a feel of how it is done. Seems like they getting better and #2 is also improving in his way of pouring ingredients, mixing and taking the baking time seriously. No longer playing with food etc. Well done 👏

Think I didnt space enough as it spreads a lot during baking. Even for the last tray, I tried chilling before baking, it still spreads. Thus my cookie were kind of ‘stick’ together and I have to cut threm into squares when it is still warm out frm the oven! 

Taste I feel a bit on the sweet side. Would maybe reduce the sugar the next round. The texture is soft crispy & chewy bite like those subway cookies! ❤️❤️❤️ yummy!

Bueno & Crunchie Lollipop Ice Cream

Project II today was making the very simple lollipop ice cream with just 2 ingredients - Whipping/Heavy cream + chocolate of your choice! I went for Crunchie & Kinder Brueno! 😋😋😋

I am using with reference to this Video recipe which my fren tagged me on. Looks so delicious that cant be forgo. 

It took us less than 10mins to squash the chocolate and pour the cream in. I sit them in their wrapper, on a disposable cup, put in a plastic food wrapper before putting in to freezer for 2hrs before taking them out to ‘roll’ in the melted chocolate. Drop some sprinkles and we are done!

To be honest, I feel the taste is so so. Need loads of chocolate and lesser cream if you wan to have more ommphh.. still worth a try for some fun!

Muffins - Choc chips & Mixed berries oat

Been thinking what to bake with the kids today as my #3 wasnt well. Slight fever and flu. So was kinda last min to do something with them today as #3 seems better slightly. So I look around for something simple and I have ingredients for. 

Bookmarked this Crazy Muffin recipes from Bigger Bolder Baking and its my to-do with the kids. As it is so versatile and uses vegetable oil, I dont have to worry about not stocking up on butter at home. Like as and when if I dont have breakfast for the next day, this seems like the perfect recipes to go to.. I do have other muffin recipes in my blog that I tried before but i like this better as it is moist and fragrant. 

I made my own Buttermilk too, with reference to the above baker. Adding lemon juice and sit rhe milk for 30min before using. It will curdle so just shake well before using! I think its the use of the baking soda, buttermilk combo that makes it so soft n fluffy. Just a mixing cup and a bowl, we are set to go! Actually if its not for the kids baking, I would have weigh everything inside the bowl and cup. 😂😂

Both kids enjoy rhe baking now as they do them from scratch. So today I let my gal weigh out 120ml of buttermilk as i purposely made it in the milk carton and sit it inside while I make my #3 go for his nap! It took us like 30mins to mix up and scoop the batter to cupcake cups. I halve the recipe so we can bake a smaller portion and make them again, into other variations! 

Today we made Chocolate chips and Mixed berries Oat. Botb smell lovely from baking and it taste yummy! Can u imagine the kids will like the mixed berries oat flavour?? 😂😂 Serve it with fruits for tea today! 😋

Ice Cream Logcake

Been thinking what to get for dessert for the christmas gathering this weekend. Deciding on fruits bowl, small logcake, making them myself and many more! Then I decided to make use of the ice cream we made on Thursday and Ice Cream Logcake it shall be! 

Using back an old recipe I used previously, I made my swissroll and cool them before coating with ice cream. Roll in cling and freeze again before coating it with whipped cream and deco it! Yes, I topped with my meringue christmas tree

Kids helped with making the swissroll today! Loads of fun as I slowly let them get involved in more of the preparation steps. The whipping of egg whites was hilarious as both felt arms aching after holding the handheld machine for a short while. 😂😂😂 妈妈是有练过的咯!

The logcake was small but full of my love to all my friends! And they love it too. Its not overly sweet paired with the homemade ice cream too. Been a while since i made ice cream cake or logcake, glad it turns out well! Along with my simple feast for the gathering.
