Baked Banana Tempura

Every time I get a whiff of it, I want to bake something. Something easy but healthy, I decided to try a baked version of banana tempura. I used the batter-baked method from The 30-Minute Vegan. Dipping and breading each individual slice is definitely the way to go, I got a lot more crumb coverage on each piece. Baked banana tempura isn’t exactly like regular tempura – it’s a lot lighter and there’s not a ton of batter. Baked Banana TempuraServes 2 2 small to medium size bananas 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs Ground cinnamon for dusting Batter 1 1/2 tablespoons ground flax meal 1/2 cup water 1/4 teaspoon baking powder Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine batter ingredients in a bowl and blend well with a whisk. Peel and cut the bananas crosswise into 3/4″ slices. Bake for 4 minutes, flip over and bake another 4 minutes. Don’t lick, bite… Pumpkin Pie Bites. I’ve been in a mini-mood lately when it comes to baking and these bite-sized pies met my big craving.

Pumpkin Pie Bites

They are really, really easy. Let me show ya. Of course, it didn’t hurt that I used ready to roll refrigerated pie crust. It comes two to a box and if you roll each round pie crust a little bit thinner with a rolling pin, you can get 24 mini pumpkin-shaped pie crusts out of them. Make sure you use all the dough scraps and re-roll to maximize quantities. Then, stuff each one in a mini muffin baking pan. Press the dough down, in and around the edge of each muffin cup. Fill each pie crust with pumpkin filling all the way to the top. When they come out of the oven, they’ll be puffed up like this.

But no, after they cool for a few, they’ll fall and be flush with the pie crust. See… easy mini pumpkin pie bites. You can even drizzle them with melted chocolate to jazz them up a bit. Devil's Cake Balls. If you haven’t heard of cake balls yet, I recommend that you check out Bakerella’s website to see what the fuss is all about.

Devil's Cake Balls

Cake balls are a great little invention; cooked cake batter crumbled and mixed with cream cheese frosting, rolled into balls, then dunked into melted chocolate. Don’t just make these for the health benefits though, they taste pretty darn good too. The recipe says to use any boxed cake mix for the type of flavor you want. For my first attempt I used Devil’s Food Cake mix, and a homemade frosting.

Posted by Grace Massa Langlois on Wednesday, 21st July 2010 I have yet to meet a person who doesn’t like Oreo cookies or Cream Cheesecake Cupcakes.

Martha Stewart's Cookies and Cream Cheesecakes Recipe

Who could resist cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies? Not Me! Especially the double-stuffed Oreo cookie, it’s one of the best cookies for dunking into a cold glass of milk. I went out yesterday to do my weekly shop, came home, and before I was able to bring in the first grocery bag Matt was hunting for the cookies and cream ice cream. One of Matt’s favourite desserts of all time is cherry cheesecake and I thought to myself why not Oreo Cookies and Cream Cheesecakes, that should satisfy his craving.

Plus these cheesecakes are super easy to prepare, everything comes together in one bowl and there’s no crushing chocolate wafers with a rolling pin, then melting butter, baking the crust first and then baking a second time when filled. Drop an Oreo cookie into each muffin tin, make filling, add chopped cookies, bake, and enjoy, how easy is that?
