I am a member of a blogger group Shhhhh Cooking Secretly Challenge. Every month we share recipes using two secret ingredients given by our partners. This month theme is jam and jelly suggested by Preeti Tandon Shridhar. Preeti who blog at Cakes and curries shared this delicious recipe..

This month my partner is Mayuri Patel who blog at Mayuris Jikoni gave me cinnamon and date powder as secret ingredients. And I gave her lemon juice and cardamom. Mayuri shared this nutritious and tasty Watermelon rind jam with these ingredients.

As I mentioned above diet conscious people can enjoy this delicious jam with breakfast but everything we should eat in moderation. 1-2 spoon jam is okay in breakfast to satisfy your sweet craving.  You can use lemon juice according to your taste. And use any grape if you don’t have red grape. We are using dry date powder so textures will be little different from jam made with sugar. You can also use any fruit of your choice.

You may also like to try Cardamom nankhatai from me fellow blogger Priya Vijaykrishnan.

Earlier shared besan nankhatai here. But taste of this besan biscuit is totally different. I didn’t use sugar in these biscuits. Date powder will give enough sweetness.

Dates have a low GI, which means they’re less likely to spike your blood sugar levels, making them a safe choice for people with diabetes. Dates boast an impressive nutritional profile and natural sweetness. Because they’re a natural source of fructose, they might be a concern for people with diabetes. However, because they have a low GI and medium GL, they’re safe for those with diabetes in moderation — which translates to no more than 1 to 2 dates at a time. Source

Recipe is very simple. Just add everything to make a smooth dough. I have used shredded almond and pistachios but you can use any dry fruits of your choice. You can also use tutti frutti in the dough if you want.

Eggless Mango chia seed cake

Eggless mango chia seed cake with whole wheat flour. You don’t need refined flour or maida, egg and butter to make this delicious cake. Yes a butter free cake with mango and chia seeds. Cake is super soft, moist and very easy to make.

We normally use chia seeds in our smoothie or overnight oats now try a cake with these nutritious chia seeds.

Chia seeds may be small, but they’re incredibly rich in nutrients. A staple in the ancient Aztec and Maya diets, these seeds have been touted for their health benefits for centuries. The antioxidants, minerals, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids in chia seeds may promote heart health, support strong bones, and improve blood sugar management. Source

But chia seeds are completely optional. If you don’t like the taste, you can skip chia seeds. And if you are not using chia seeds then you need less milk for the batter. Because chia seeds soak lots of moisture.

You can always use refined flour/all purpose flour or maida instead of whole wheat flour if you want. And you can also make this cake with any fresh fruit of your choice. Already shared one more Fresh fruit cake with carrot here.

Oil – 1/2 cup

Vanilla essence – 1 teaspoon

Method

1. Preheat the microwave convection or hot blast mode at 170°. For OTG preheat at 180°.

2. Grease a baking pan. I used loaf pan and some cupcake moulds. You can use any cake pan or make cupcakes in muffins or cupcake moulds.

3. In a bowl mix flour, baking powder and soda. Grind the mango pieces to make puree. Take out the mango puree in a bowl.

4. In the same mixer grinder jar blend half of the milk and chia seeds. Chia seeds are optional, you can skip if you don’t like the taste.

5. In a large bowl add blended chia seeds and milk with sugar. If you are not using chia seeds add only milk. And also reduce the milk. Use only half cup.

6. Now add oil and curd or yogurt. Whisk well. Add vanilla essence, remaining milk and milk powder. Whisk again.

7. Add mango puree and mix. Add half of the dry ingredients and mix well. Add remaining dry ingredients and mix to make a lump free smooth batter.

9. Bake in preheated oven at 170° for 28-30 minutes. For OTG bake for 35-40 minutes. Check with a toothpick after 28 minutes. Fresh fruit cake takes longer time to bake. My cupcakes are perfectly baked in 28 minutes. But I had to bake the cake in loaf pan for 4 minutes again. Every oven takes different time so check after 28-30 minutes.

10. Let the cake cool down. Run a knife at the edges. Demould on a plate. Slice and enjoy the healthy and delicious mango chia whole wheat cake. Happy baking. Stay safe healthy and blessed.

Notes

1. You can use refined flour or maida instead of whole wheat flour.

Recipe

Oats – 1/4 cup

Ripe mango – 1 cup, chopped

Almond – 8-10

Chia seeds – 1 tablespoon

Water – 5 tablespoon

Mango cubes, chopped almond and mixed seeds to garnish

Method

1. Soak chia seeds in 5 tablespoon water for 2 hours or overnight. I soaked overnight. It will look like gel when soaked.

2. Soak the almond in hot water and let it cool down. Drain the water and peel the almond.

3. Grind the oats into fine powder. Add mango pieces, peeled almond and soaked chia seeds. Reserve some soaked chia seeds for garnishing.

4. Blend everything well to make smooth. Taste and add little honey, coconut sugar, stevia or any sweetener as require. My mango is enough sweet so I didn’t use any sweetener. See notes for more options.

5. Transfer the smoothie to the bowl. Garnish with mango pieces, chopped almond and soaked chia seeds. Sprinkle some roasted mixed seeds over the smoothie. This step is optional. You can skip but I like the crunch of roasted mixed seeds.

6. Serve immediately or keep in refrigerator for an hour or more to serve chilled.

Notes

1. You can use any fruit instead of mango.

2. You can also use banana or any other fruits with mango.

3. Add 1 teaspoon honey, stevia or any sweetener of your choice if you want your smoothie more sweet.

4. If you are using stevia powder, add 1/4 teaspoon only at first. Mix, taste and add more if required. Because stevia powder is more sweet than sugar. A pinch of stevia powder is equal to one teaspoon table sugar.

I have used half cup oats powder and half cup Bajra or pearl millet flour to make this brownie. If you don’t have oatmeal grind rolled oats into fine powder. I also ground regular rolled oats. Measure after grinding. You can also use any flour instead of bajra or pearl millet flour. Coffee, cocoa powder and vanilla essence will give a lovely aroma. Do try and enjoy the delectable taste and aroma.

Olive Oil – 1/4 cup

Lemon juice – 1/4 teaspoon

Vanilla essence – 1 teaspoon

Milk – 1/4 cup

Baking soda – 1/2 teaspoon

Cocoa powder – 2 tablespoon

Instant coffee powder -1 teaspoon

Salt – 1/8 teaspoon

Method

1.Preheat the oven at 160°. For OTG preheat at 180° and bake for 30-35 minutes. Every oven takes different time so check after 28 minutes.

2. Grease or line a baking pan. Sprinkle little cocoa powder.

3. In a bowl mix oats powder, bajra or pearl millet flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder.

4. In a large bowl whisk eggs, add coconut sugar and whisk again. Add milk, oil vanilla essence lemon juice and coffee. Whisk well.

5. Now add all the dry ingredients gradually and mix well. Make a lump free smooth batter.

6. Transfer the mixture in greased or lined baking pan. Tap the cake pan gently on your kitchen counter to remove the air bubbles.

7. Bake in preheated oven at 160° for 28 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Insert a toothpick in the middle to check. If toothpick comes out clean then your brownie is ready.

8. Let it cool down completely. Demould, slice and serve. Run a knife around the edges of the brownie and place the cake pan upside down on a plate to demould.

9. You can spread some melted chocolate over the brownie pieces if you want. Microwave the chocolate or melt on a double boiler and spread over the brownie. I served half of the brownie pieces with melted chocolate.

Notes
