I made banana milk with coconut water! Dairy-free, nut-free and refined sugar-free.

Remember the bunch of ripe bananas I mentioned in yesterday's blog post 100 Happy Days Challenge - Day 94 and the coconut water I bought awhile ago?

I told one of my friends I had never used organic amaranth flour before. So, she gave me some to try. I measured the flour I got. It was app. 1/2 cup.

With the banana, ground flax seed, maple syrup, ground cinnamon powder and salt I have at home, I made some banana pancakes. Dairy-free, egg-free, refined sugar-free, soy-free, wheat-free and gluten-free.

The pancakes were soft, moist and sweet, exactly how my mum loves her pancakes. But I would prefer my pancakes moist, sweet but firmer.

Sorry, we ate all the pancakes without taking any pictures.

I'm thinking about buying a bag of organic amaranth flour. Next time I'll remember to take some photos.

Ate a healthy snack today (April 30). An apple with peanut butter - same as what suggested from Smart snacks under 200 calories. I love peanut butter so I ate more than 1 tablespoon. Ooops, this snack is not under 200 calories.

1 apple 80 calories 0 g fat 0.4 g protein

(150 g)

peanut butter 150 calories 12 g fat* 4.5 g protein

1.5 tbsp (22.5 g)

Total: 230 calories 12 g fat* 4.9 g protein
*Saturated fat 1.5 g

Should I cut down on the peanut butter to 1 tbsp for snack?

Smart snacks under 200 calories

I read an interesting article about healthy snack choices to keep our energy and blood sugar stable. There are some snack ideas I've never thought of.

Made some Japanese steamed sponge cup cakes (mushi-pan). They were moist and yummy. My mum loved them, too. I made them with my homemade oat flour and black rice flour. Gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, egg-free, nut-free, oil-free and sugar-free steamed cup cakes, my friends.

This is how I make my homemade oat flour. I'll post how I make my black rice flour soon.

Date and Apple Granola Slices - A recipe from Air Miles Inspired Living Fall 2008

"Quick!! I need a simple recipe to cook with my daughter." One of my friends called me and she wanted a recipe ASAP. After I told her she can get tons of recipes from the internet, from the other side of the phone, she said, "Phoebe (For privacy reasons, real name will not be used in this blog) wants to make something from Auntie Nicole's blog." I'm flattered. Cooking with your kids during March Break? Here is a recipe for you.
