Walnut Brownies

Last evening, I roasted walnuts and the aroma filled my kitchen. I immediately thought of baking brownies, but it was late and I put it off till Sunday. I have been off baking, and hence off blogging for quite a while. Work gained priority. Though I have been cooking and experimenting, I haven't been blogging. Sunday looked like a good day to come back to my blog- after baking!

Yes I finally baked the walnut brownies, and I used Bournvita instead of cocoa powder. The result is a sweeter buy nonetheless yummier version.

My recipe-
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup bournvita / any chocolate drink should be OK if you don't have cocoa
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 egg
1 cup chopped walnuts

Method
Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
Melt the butter in a mixing bowl, stir in bournvita, sugar, salt, flour. Mix in egg and walnuts. Spread the dough evenly into the baking pan.
Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10-15 minutes before cutting.

Microwave Banana cake

I read about Saffron Trail in Timeout or FB, and the day I checked it out, I marked several recipes to try, one of them being the microwave cake.

The good thing was it is an easy cake to make, and healthy and helped me use up my overripe bananas.
