Purpose: To make myself "healthy" snacking options
Proposed item: Bran cookies
Ingredients: 3tablespoons of bran
2-3 tablespoons of yoghurt
1egg
1teaspoon baking powder
1teaspoon sugar
Process: Preheat oven to 180degrees
Mix everything together
Pour into mould
Bake for 15mins at 180degrees
Flip cookies and rebake for 15mins
Recipe source: http://mydukandiet.com/recipes/oat-bran-cookies.html
Adaptations: Used wheat bran instead of oat bran as in the recipe. This is because I had wheat bran at home. Plus used curd instead of yogurt.
Observation: The batter was too little in quantity and actually made just four 3inch cookies
Verdict: The cookies didnt come out as I had hoped. Even after the flipping and browning bit, it was way too soft inside to appeal as a cookie. Might make a better cupcake/muffin. Also needed more sugar.
Way forward: Will try another recipe with all the wheat bran I have at home. This recipe didn't come out as the picture suggested and also the taste was too powdery for me. This was my first time with anything made out of wheat bran and obviously I'm not used to the taste. Maybe that and the lack of enough sweetner explains why I didn't like my creation one bit. Never happened to me before.
Funnily wheat bran is my current muse because we got a box free with the box of oats we bought for dad's breakfast. Since bran is not something an Indian would ever eat out of free will and common sense, our little box had been lying sealed. Our food has enough fibre in it to not need additional additives, especially the farm waste, as my grandma referred to bran as.
Technically it is the same thing as the fodder fed to cattle isn't it? Hmm. Food for thought. And cattle. LOL!
