For Week 1 of BM #49, I have chosen to highlight 'Pumpkin' and so I would showcase three interesting recipes using pumpkin.
For Day 1, I have baked these Biscottis which were a delight to have as a snack with some milk/tea.
The day I baked these, I felt an after taste of Baking powder, but the next day they tasted better. But just in case, I would reduce the baking powder a little the next time.
Recipe adapted from here
Ingredients -
Brown Sugar 3/4 cup
*Pumpkin Puree 2/3 cup
Vegetable Oil 2 Tbsp
Almond Milk 1/4 cup (or as needed)
White Whole Wheat Flour 2 cups
Baking Powder 2 tsp
Salt 1/4 tsp
Cinnamon Powder 1/2 tsp
Nutmeg Powder 1/4 tsp
Chocolate Chips as needed for topping
* I boiled a cup of pumpkin cubes and pureed it
Method Of Preparation -
Blend the pumpkin puree, brown sugar and oil and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, sieve the flour and baking powder. Add the salt, cinnamon powder and nutmeg powder.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Pour the pumpkin puree blend into the flour mixture and gently knead into a soft dough adding as much milk as needed.
Shape into a 6 inch long, 3 inch wide and 3/4 inch thick log and place it on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake it for about 30 min. Remove and let it cool for about 15 min.
Slice the log into 1 inch biscotti slices. Place the cut side down on the same baking sheet and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until the base of the biscottis are slightly brown.
Remove and let them cool on a wire rack where they will crisp up a little more.
Store in air tight containers and they will stay good for a few days.
Preparation Time 15 min + Cooling time 15 min + Baking time 45 min
