Sweet potato oatmeal cookies

This time I would like to share a recipe called Sweet Potato Oatmeal Cookies. This is actually a new thing for me to process sweet potato as cookies and cakes since usually I just eat it steamed or boiled (just it, without any addition of other ingredients). But the nutrition behind this sweet tuber made me think that it would be a perfect choice to transform it into my daily snacks with other modifications. 

For those who do not know much about it, sweet potato is one of high fiber carbohydrate sources which could help your digestive system and prevent constipation, and also makes you feel full longer. Different from other types of carbs (especially simple sugar like sucrose or other sweets), sweet potato has lower GI which could regulate your blood glucose levels (this is recommended to be consumed for diabetic people as rice substitute).

The rest of ingredients also have many benefits; oatmeal with its soluble fiber content, chia seeds that has abundant level of omega-3 with low energy yield, cranberry with its ability to prevent urinary tract infection and maintain heart's health, and the relaxing, warm effect from ginger. 

All of the ingredients used are very easy to be found in the supermarkets and organic stores. Therefore, it could be a good "challenge" for everyone's mind to try (or even start) a new healthy lifestyle. However, it does not mean that you should stop eating any other processed food sold in the stores' racks (high fat wafer cream, butter cookies, ice cream, candies, etc. that's all nice!), but keep reminding yourself that the percentage of your healthy eating habits should be set beyond the not-so-healthy one. And always remember that what you eat today will be your investation for your future days!

Banana cake with sesame seeds and almond

Today is the last weekday of my (2 weeks) holiday, and I will enter the fifth semester of my uni next Monday. Time flies so fast, and the subjects are also getting more difficult. Yet, keep fighting is the key to survive, doesn’t it? :)

Anyway, I will share my latest experience in baking; yes! Banana cake had been successfully done in the kitchen. This time, I used white sesame seeds and almond as the additional ingredients. I also made the taste to be not-too-sweet since the ripened banana has already given its natural sweet taste. You will not need any mixer or even scrapper here; just a whisk, spoon, fork, measuring spoon, and bowls. How simple!

Tapai cupcake

Made this cupcake using tapai / fermented cassava mixed with raisins for the filling. Also, blueberry jam on top of it :)

Egg muffin

First time making egg muffin with leek and garbanzo nut.

I didn't use any recipe, just mix everything and stop when it's getting enough :)

Enjoy with mayo and chilli sauce. Best served hot/warm. 

(Carrot) Cake

Good deals behind the cake: 

It was made using palm sugar as part of the sweetener, shredded carrot, raisin, and spekkoek powder for the aroma (commonly used for making lapis legit cake). The texture is really moist even if you keep it for 3 to 4 days :)

*Spekkoek powder is the mixture of nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, and cardamom powder.

Chocolate cake

Holiday is the time for doing other things besides the daily routines (yes, university life takes anything...). This time, I used some days of the 2-weeks-short-holiday to try making chocolate cake. From the three times "trial & error", I got two different kinds of cake with the same ingredients yet different technique of making; the first type with "thick", soft texture and another one with the chiffon texture. Both are nice, but it depends on your preference. My dad prefers to have the thick one, but my mom likes the chiffon.

"Thick" & soft texture

Chiffon-like texture

Mango Jelly Pudding

Actually, the made of this jelly pudding was just a coincidence. My mom bought a lot of mangoes since the mango fruit season has come up this past few weeks. Then, I found the last mango that was almost over ripen. Nothing to do at home, I decided to make an experiment with mango jelly and plain agar.

Marbled Cheesy Cocopandan

Having no activity during holiday doesn't mean spending the time staring in front of TV all day long or doing nothing. Playing in the kitchen might become one interesting thing!



Trying to make a 'quite' healthy cake (contains no yolk) using steam method, very easy to be tried at home. I call it Marbled Cheesy Cocopandan :)

Egg tart

The idea was first coming when my Mom asked me to made it. After searched many recipes in internet and mixed it all up, the modified recipe was made!

Oatmeal Cookies

Some (or maybe a lot) of you like snacking whenever you want, and sometimes the snack contain lot of   MSG, or sugar (which is not healthy and make the ladies gain their weight). Have you ever thought about healthy snack? I got that idea from my auntie who has diabetes. She suggested me to make oatmeal cookies for her (as you know oatmeal is healthy and low fat). I searched some references from google and found lot of oatmeals recipe (I decided to try the most simple recipe in the end). I reduced the sugar because diabetic can't consume high-sugar food. And the last, scroll below to see the result of mine and get the recipe! ;)

Cheese Muffin

Holiday is still going on and am having a break for going somewhere. Just remembered that I've bought some muffin cups few weeks ago and finally, I decided to make cheese muffin..

Zebra ft. Pandanus

Free Friday makes me think about a thing that I can do. Usually (in school day) Friday is used to be a day when I miss my bed and pillow (Friday is the last day for school in the week!). But that rule isn't valid again now (smile).

Okay, I decided to make a simple (enough) cake. The cake isn't baked but steamed. The recipe told to use mocha pasta but I changed it with pandanus pasta (that's the only one I have). Oh well.. the name become Pandanus Zebra cake!

I'm (very) sastified with the result. As everyone tasted it and they said the same word : DELICIOUS!

 Still in baking pan
