Oatmeal cookies (full fat version)

Good morning everyone,
Is Saturday again!
And I should be preparing for exam,
But I don't get the mood to study until I have cookies ! Lol
Here's a recipe copied from a blogger
I have serious issue with reading and following the instruction-.- Ogod, I told myself like thousands times to reduce the sugar amount, but then I read the recipe wrong, so I actually added more than it called for , which turned out to be really sugary, but I guess that's not a big deal.

Strawberry cake roll

Swiss roll cake in foreign countries isn't that popular (in my opinion), I have only seen once in a bakery shop that sells Yule log and available on Christmas. In many Asian countries, like Japan and Taiwan, they have countless varieties of Swiss cake to choose from, for example like matcha, egg custard and berries, you name it they have it! As I am having difficulties to found the one that I like in this place, I rather make one by myself and can enjoy the fun of baking. Yeah~ I haven't made cake for such a long tim, and I kind of forgot the steps, fortunately, the sponge cake still baked up in nicely golden color and very soft and spongy. The ingredients required in the recipe are relatively easy to obtain:
3eggs, 100g sugar, 1tbsp melted butter or veg oil, 1tsp vanilla, 90g flour and pinch of salt.
However, I can't really tell you the steps as I'm not even clear myself.. Lol I was more like guessing and playing around while making the cake. Therefore, I was quite surprised that it turned out so well.

Pb banana cookies (vegan)

Healthy stuff can taste amazing as well! Just discovered another eggless recipes this morning and get cracking ! I would say this cookie is just something that you either love it or hate it, since it is not the traditional oatmeal cookies that have crunchy texture. This cookie is more soft and have a strong banana and peanut butter flavor, my sis found this totally disgusting but Im loving it.

Note:
- used dry cranberries and yogurt chips in place of chocolate chips, ;) more healthy
-Really nice peanut butter flavor
-Banana does a good job in keeping these cookies soft

Vegan chocolate cupcake

Yeahh I'm glad that I found this fabulous recipe on foodgawker.com , it is not only eggless but also extremely easy to make. Since today is a Friday, yeah, finally!! So I'm free after school and I decided to make some cupcakes. This recipe is just perfect since I have all the require ingredients in my cupboard and it yields 6muffins only (cas I don't have to serve a big family) ~
Note;
- I don't have cake flour nor cornstarch at home, so I didn't bother to make the cake flour and used all purpose flour instead.
- i baked mine in a muffin tin lined with paper liners and it took 20mins.
- I used the rice vinegar for sushi, and it turned out fine, so I'm guessing all kinds of vinegar will work?! Not sure.
- I'm thinking to add chocolate chips next time, it would be awesome!

Apple muffin

I found this recipe from Sally's Baking Addiction, I thought it was a really healthy and easy recipe to test out. So today, I finally had free time to give it a try! I was really excited about result.. Well,, I did quite a few changes (mistakes) though. First of all, I totally forgot about the yogurt. Secondly, I was way too lazy to make the oat toppings:/ even though the muffin was good enough by itself, im sure it would taste much better with that.. Third thing was that I personally do not like the strong taste of nutmeg, so I only used 1/8tsp, but I would totally omit that next time. Lastly, I used all brown sugar, and may add a tiny bit more sugar next time. Or else, you can only get the sweetness from the chopped apples instead from the batter itself. Overall, it was really tasty and yet healthy:) oh, and she shared some tips to get a high dome shaped muffin, like the bakery ones on her blog. She said that the oven temperature has to be initially high, and also don't be afraid to fill the muffin tin all the way to the top :) soo, here's the recipe not including the toppings. You may want to head over to her blog to check for details <3
