Рецепт Wholewheat chocolate, banana, nut and seed slice – egg free
I made these chocolate slices for my mom for Mother’s day. Chocolatey, rich, gooey, fudgy, slightly chewy and oh so delicious. So good enriched with goodness of wholewheat, oats and barley. Mom loved it and so does my one year old sweetheart. For her I have slightly tweaked the recipe, and I could see the smile on her face and twinkle in her eyes. I have learned the baby steps in baking from my mom in her rickety but never-failed oven. Old fashioned butter cookies, apple pound cakes, banana muffins and sponge cakes were some of her favourite baked goodies and on Christmas holidays, our big kitchen (almost like a room in itself, life was luxurious in Government bungalows) used to smell sweet and buttery for days. There was hardly any standard bakery in our little hill top town, and as I was so fond of cakes and cookies since my childhood days my mom makes it a point to stuff her cookie jars with these baked goodies. Life comes full circle and I have started doing it for my baby. My oats teether biscuits were already hit with her, this one too seems to win her heart. She took little time to get adjust with the taste of dark chocolate but now she simply loves it. Slices are like simple sweet pleasures in life, liked by children and grown-ups too. The beauty of slices is that they can be simple or as rich and exotic as you want it to be. Depends upon how evolved you palette is. Not just a great accompaniment for afternoon tea sessions, but a good and filling after-school snacks for kids, to go snacks for picnics or on long road trips too.
With a cup of coffee and a good book, slices are my perfect midnight company too. I know my life is sorted.
For health freaks and baby version – replace the sugar with jaggery or honey. For babies, honey is not recommended before one or two year. So skip the honey. And also ground the walnuts for babies.
