Black Sesame Muffins


(Made without baking powder)



I make these muffins from Angie's Recipe twice and on both occasions, they turned out more like cupcakes because the interior was very fine as you can see. As for the black sesame, I used those from Daiso at $2 per pack (grinded) which I add them to my bread too.

Ingredients
80g butter
60 sugar
1 egg
3-5 drops of vanilla extract
50 ml milk
100g cake flour
1 tsp baking powder
3-5 tbsp black sesame

[1] Beat butter & sugar till fluffy.
[2] Mix in egg, vanilla extract and milk.
[3] Shift flour and baking powder and fold into mixture.
[4] Fold in black sesame.
[5] Spoon into tins.
[6] Bake at180 degree for 30 minutes.

Oatmeal Walnut Bread


Quick cooking oatmeal is not my favourite even though they make healthy breakfast. That's why, a big pack of it is still sitting in the cabinet. I have made oatmeal cookies before and this is my experiment with oatmeal bread. I used a recipe for wholemeal bread and substituted the wholemeal flour with grinded oatmeal. I added more water as the oatmeal tends to absorb more liquid. And that makes it easy to knead too.

Banana Walnut Loaf II




Another attempt at making this quickbread. I think I'm more successful this time, at least there were no air pockets. The texture is almost cake-like.
