Craving moments happen to me quite often nowadays as I’m eating smaller portions during mealtimes. Instead of reaching out for that chocolate bar, or that bag of potato chips, or that cake with frosting that I just baked, I decided to make my own healthier snack – in the form of energy balls.

I don’t have the habit of eating cereal since young hence after a few months eating granola for breakfast (see my peanut butter and chocolate ones), I stopped because I wanted a break from it. When the craving for granola came back again, I decided to make a different flavour of granola, just so I have new…
Chocolate Granola
Chocolate lovers, you are in for a treat today! After finishing my peanut butter granola, I decided to play around with the granola recipe to make a chocolate version – imagine having chocolate for breakfast – it’s perhaps the best way to start the day! P.S. This is a scheduled post as I’m currently away on holiday! Thank you…
Peanut Butter Granola
I love making my own homemade granola instead of buying store-bought ones because I strongly believe that it’s many times healthier – no preservatives or weird chemicals, no artificial flavouring, lower in sugar. While searching for new granola recipes to try out, I stumbled on a peanut butter granola recipe, just perfect to use up that leftover…
Peanut Butter, Oatmeal & Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cookies are one of my favourite snacks – they are small, cute, and feel a lot less sinful when eating one of them as compared to eating a cake. The unbaked cookie dough can also be easily frozen, so I love to freeze some whenever I make cookies and save them for a rainy day. (Figuratively,…
Nutty Granola
I am never a cereal-for-breakfast person. When I was a kid, my breakfast was usually 2 slices of bread filled with spreads like jam or peanut butter, prepared by my mom. During the holidays when we visited our maternal grandparents, I would start the day with 2 soft-boiled eggs laid by my grandparents’ hens, with a big cup…
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Last day of November! Where did all the time go? Before today ends, I better hurry blog about my oat entry for Little Thumbs Up! I’ve chosen a classic for my oat-themed bake – the oatmeal raisin cookies! I love oatmeal cookies as they are soft, chewy and delicious. In fact, sometimes I will leave…

Yay I’m on time for The Home Bakers this time round! This bake is chosen by Kit from I-Lost in Austen and it features a delicious cake/muffin that has no butter, low in sugar, filled with hearty oats and does not require a mixer to make. How awesome is that? As I don’t have any…
THB #23: Morning Glory Breakfast Cake
I’m quite late to post this bake, lucky the dateline is still not over yet! The bake this time round is chosen by Lena from Frozen Wings, and this is such a healthy bake! This is definitely not a difficult cake to bake – the toughest is probably the grating of carrot and apple! If…
Apple, Maple and Oatmeal Crumble
I baked these crumbles for the Bake Along hosted by Joyce from Kitchen Flavours, Lena from Frozen Wings and Zoe from Bake for Happy Kids. It was originally supposed to be a pear crumble from Epicurious, but I decided to swap out the pears with Granny Smith apples (it was a bit hard to get…
Strawberry Oatmeal Brown Sugar Cupcakes
The Bake-Along this week is supposed to be a Strawberry White Chocolate Chip Cake by Cake Keeper Cakes… but I made several changes and it turned out to be a totally different cake – a Strawberry Oatmeal Brown Sugar Cupcake – but they still tasted pretty not bad (thankfully)! There were several ideas I had…
Vegan Oatmeal and Raisin Cookies
I always believed that food serves as a medium to bond people together. Dining together allows people to sit around a table and exchange conversations and catch up with each other’s lives. Though I like dining out with my friends, I still prefer to invite them over and cook up meals and bake desserts…

Cookies and milk! Soft and chewy rum ‘n raisins chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. Trying saying the name of these cookies as fast as you can! Ughh, I got tongue-tied. So… I took a break from making cupcakes! Heh. Am still trying to squeeze in the time to make one more batch of cupcakes… hopefully I…
