Sugar and spice and all things nice.
I am a huge fan of desserts. I firmly believe that life is better with a spoonful of sugar. Then there are issues- calories, a craving late at night when all shops are closed, no ingredients etc etc.
Here are some easy (healthy) substitutes for the evil white stuff:
- Add some cinnamon to oats. Gives a slight sweetness and a lovely flavour
- Apple juice concentrate (HPMC one) has no added sugar and is sweet. Can be used for baking, milk shakes, cereal and smoothies
- Fresh fruit and fruit juice make a yummy substitute for sugar in a cake
- Hung curd works very well as a whipped cream replacement
- Add instant oats and some wheat flour (atta) to your cake. If you need 1 cup of flour, use half atta half maida(regular flour). I like my cakes with wheat flour. They feel a little courser than usual, but I enjoy it.
- Apple stewed with cinnamon topped with a spoonful of thick yoghurt and honey makes a great instant and healthy dessert.
- If you are wondering what to do with overripe bananas, then take out a nonstick pan put a bit of butter, a banana peeled and sliced at the centre, add a little sugar to caramelize. Be careful not to burn it, add a little milk and you have an instant dessert.
- Fresh fruit frozen yoghurt is easy to make and a much healthier option than ice cream
