i recently discovered the route to feed Nakshat healthy breakfast without fuss, and it came in the form of MUFFINS!
every morning we would fight over almonds and walnuts and then during the day i would insist that he eat some flax seeds and yoghurt...to no avail obviously :-(
yesterday i thought why not i put all these things together in one package and finish the chik-chik jhik-jhik once in for all. so i combined a cup of whole wheat flour, 2 tbsp of wheat bran, 2 tbsps flax seeds powder, half a cup of roasted and chopped almonds and walnuts, half a cup of cranberries, half a cup of demererra sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, a pinch of salt, 1/2 cup yoghurt, 2 tbsp butter and 1 tsp of vanilla essence all together (ofcourse, first i mixed the dry ingredients and nuts and then poured in the wet ones) and mixed it well till it was uniform.
poured it into the individual cups in the muffin tray (brushed with olive oil) and baked at 180degree celsius in the oven for 20 minutes. 12 delicious muffins were ready and Nakshat gobbled two up with hot chocolate for the breakfast this morning without me having to raise an eyebrow :-)
next time i am going to add some oats too!
