Banana Pancake & Whey Protein Chocolate Shake 


Ingredients

Banana Pancake
1 large Banana
2 Eggs
PAM (or you can use any low calories oil)
Maple Syrup (optional - unhealthy) 

Whey Protein Chocolate Shake
2 tablespoons of Whey Protein Powder (Chocolate)
1.5 cup of Skimmed Milk (you can use Almond Milk instead)
 1 teaspoon of Vanilla Essence
9 -10 Ice-Cubes

Steps
First, slice the banana into small pieces and place them into a bowl so that it's easier to mash and mix with the eggs. Followed by cracking 2 eggs into the same bowl. 


Now, you may use a whisker or a spoon to mash and combine them together until a thick paste is achieved. 


 It doesn't matter if there's still bananas in there because it will have a better smell with the bananas. While whisking, heat up your pan in low heat. When it has been heated up, spray in some PAM and start scooping the batter onto the pan.


 Ta-daaaaaa, the delicious and yummy banana pancakes are achieved. For more taste or a little cheaty, place 2-3 tablespoons of maple syrup on them.


With this recipe, I'm able to make 18-20 small pancakes. I like to make small pancakes as a tiny snake because they need not to be cut and who has ever tried 1 bite pancake? =D

This recipe is inspired by Blogilates (Cassey Ho) who is a fitness blogger and Youtuber that teaches us great workout and clean food recipes. 


Here's a picture of her with her banana pancakes using the same recipe.

Tips : You may top up your favorite fruits to fulfill your taste buds or peanut butter.

For whey protein chocolate shake, you just need a smoothie blender, place all the ingredients into the bottle and blend it up. 

This completes a gorgeous breakfast to start off the day. This is a great pre or post workout meals because they're high in protein and low in carbs. 

At LAST, take a great picture of them and post it on Instagram or Twitter and tag me @cereslys


❤ Good Luck and Love Lots ❤

DoughNut | Homemade

Sorry I've not been updating you guys for a month due to my contract work.
Guess what? As the title said, today I'm going to share a homemade doughnut recipe with you guys. It's unhealthy but who cares, it's Sunday, which is "free eating" day.

Without further ado, LET'S GET STARTED.
 ________________________________________________________________________

DOUGHNUT RECIPE

 

Ingredients 

(For Pastry) 
3 1/4 cups of Plain Flour
1/4 cup of Brown Caster Sugar
3 teaspoons of Dry Yeast
Pinch of Salt
250ml of Warm Milk
100g of Butter
3 Egg Yolks
Oil (I personally use Grape-seed Oil)

(For Toppings)
1 Cadbury Chocolate Bar
1/4 cup of Unsalted Butter
1 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
Chocolate Rice
Powdered Sugar
 Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1/2cup of Milk

Tools Needed
A Big Mixing Bowl
Towel
Pan
Cookie Cutter / Round-shaped Bowl
Paper Towels

Steps
Mix the dry ingredients (plain flour, salt, dry yeast and sugar) in your big mixing bowl.
Then make a well and add in the wet ingredients (warm milk, butter and egg yolks) together and mix well until it becomes a sticky pastry. 

  
Egg white you may use it for further healthy cookings or as an egg white mask =D

Knead the dough on a well-floured surface until smooth. Then, grease your mixing bowl and place the dough in it. Cover the bowl with a towel and wait for 1.5hours for it to rise.

This is my risen dough with the help of my cousin sister.


Take 1/4 of the dough and place it on a well-floured surface on your table.
Knead the dough for 2 minutes and roll it up to a flat dough about 1cm thick.

Then, for me, I use a bowl instead of cookie cutter because I don't have any round shaped cookie cutter and cut out a round shaped dough.


This is the time we get ourselves dirty. The one on the left is my sister.
For the middle circle, I've used a smaller round shaped object to cut it out.

Leave it aside for 15 minutes to rise a little bit more for the soft bun bite. 
This is the first batch of doughnuts that are ready to be fried. 


 Now, you may heat up your pan and fill your pan half full with your oil.
 When the oil is boiled, you may start putting in your doughnut, one to three at a time depends how many you can handle.
Place the paper towels beside your stove for the doughnut to be transferred on for oil absorb purpose.


Fry for a few minutes and turn over the doughnuts for another side to be fried. 
With this is going on, I have my second batch of doughnut chilling at aside.


The leftover dough I've made it into a ball shape so no food is going to be WASTED.
 This is how you chill your doughnuts.


Opps sorry for the first trial on the bottom (left). 
When they're chilling, you make may your toppings. 


The EASIEST topping is pour in some powdered sugar on a plate, then mix with a little cocoa powder/cinnamon then dip in your doughnut. (Third doughnut counting from the nearest one.)

 For chocolate glazed doughnut, melt butter and chocolate in a bowl, then add in vanilla extract after the mixture has cooled down. Dip your doughnuts in and pick it up nicely. You may leave it like that or you can top it up with chocolate rice as I did. (The nearest doughnut.)

 For snowy glazed, put 1/2 cup of milk into a bowl, add in powdered sugar to get a thick consistency, then your may dip in your fried doughnut. You may add chocolate rice if your wish to. (Second doughnut starting from the nearest one.)

With this recipe you may make around 15-18 doughnuts and it also depends on the size of your circle. So you're able to share with your friends and families.
