Fruitful month, literally

Hey there! As the title reads, this post will be gonna be about fruits! I eat fruits everyday after dinner as it serves as an refreshing healthy dessert! But this month, i decided to include them into my bakes and my breakfast! 

First and foremost, APPLES! Its fall now and apples seem like the right fruit for this season! So i baked an apple pie with lattice design on top! Definitely needs more improvement but it was still great for a first timer ya?

Pardon my ugly leg there... Kinda ruin the pre bake pic! ><

TADAHH~~ (note to self: Use lesser egg white for the brushing to have a more golden coloured surface) 

Next on the list, APPLE ROSES! These are all over Youtube, Pinterest, Facebook and everywhere! They are super easy to make and super pretty as well!

MOIST BANANA BREAD <3

You just can't resist a moist banana bread sitting infront of you! I didn't even wait for it to cool completely before i start slicing (nobody got time for that right?) And before i realised, its already half gone!! HAHAH

Anyway, i made a crumble for the bread too and i failed badly. Used too much butter and too little flour.. Will definitely try again as crumble is bae~ 

This recipe is a keeper:

- 1 1/4 cup mashed bananas

- 2 cups AP flour

- 1 tsp baking soda

- 1 tsp double acting baking powder

- 1/2 tsp salt

- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

- 1/2 scant (less than full) cup white sugar*

- 1/2 cup brown sugar*

- 8 tbsp butter (120g)

- 2 eggs

-1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

- 1/2 cup buttermilk

160 degree celcius for 1hour :)

*adjust to your own liking

Just a close up picture of the crumbs. Can you see how moist and fluffy it is already?

BREAKFAST TIME!!

Chocolate oat with sliced apples, chia seeds, strawberries and granola!

Chocolate oat with cookie butter, figs, kiwis, banana, apples, granola and chia seeds!

Last but not least, PANCAKE!!

Cinnamon almond milk chia oat pancakes. This is really healthy! I made another serving for my bro and he said he prefer the white pancakes. (Me too!) But it's still a great way to eat pancakes with lesser guilt!

Gonna share the recipe too incase i forget!

- 1/2 cup oat flour (i blend my oat in a blender)

- 1/2 tsp baking soda

- 1/2 tsp baking powder

- 1 tbsp sugar (to your liking)

- 1/8 tsp cinnamom

- 1/8 tsp salt

- 1 egg (minus 1 tsp of white)

- 100 ml almond milk (fresh milk is fine)

- 1 tbsp oil/butter

- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Yield: 4 pancakes :)

Those are my creation for the month! Hope to have more personal food post in the future! SAYONARA~~

"Using your vacation to complete a module? It's such a waste of time!" These thoughts may come into your mind when I first mention I'm doing a vacation CDS (cross disciplinary studies), Global Citizenship.

It all started with a week of tutorial lessons, then an 8 days educational trip and a final presentation.
