Eggless Cinnamon Swirl Bread–with stepwise pictures

Cinnamon is such a good ingredient and is therapeutic when used in baking.. The entire house smells the cinnamon flavor and feels quite soothing.. When Gayathri announced “Cinnamon Swirl Bread” for this month’s eggless baking challenge, I immediately did it.. I did not use the recipe Gayathri suggested but used the recipe from here and loved it.. I got one loaf from the below recipe. You could double the quantity and make 2. Also the original recipe had egg which I replaced.

French Fries

A delicious accompaniment which is so popular in many parts of the world. Although this is quite popular, it is considered not so healthy. To me the reason is double frying. This is a great accompaniment to Burgers, makes a great evening snack. Serve it with ketchup and you cannot stop with one!!

Pita Bread

Every country has their share of authentic breads. Pita bread is from the Mediterranean region and it tastes awesome when baked fresh with hummus.. You could enjoy it with hummus, insert it with falafel, tzazki sauce and salad and that makes a meal. Make these breads and are so perfect as a snack with hummus.. For this month’s We Knead to Bake, Aparna gave us the choice to bake any bread and this is my choice. This is also a perfect snack choice for the “after school snack” for this month’s BM

Tomato Mint Mozzarella Savory Waffle

I have been looking ways to use my waffle maker other than the standard sweet waffles.. This one is a great idea and was very happy that I used mine. A delicious and quick savory waffle that can be made in the waffle maker.. This will make a perfect one for lunchbox, travel or a great breakfast. Hungry for an evening snack and this is so perfect for it.. My family loved it.. You could also use your sandwich maker, but the shape and the appearance of the waffle makes the kids really excited…

Eggless Fig Newtons

I was introduced to Fig Newtons while I was doing my grocery shopping. I saw this very inviting packet that looked so tempting and picked one. They were delicious and mouth melting and wanted to make it at home.. I had bookmarked a recipe long back, but got to try it now when it was announced for this month's Home Bakers Challenge. Sharanya suggested many delicious bakes and I chose this one as soon as I saw it.. No more postponing!! It was delicious and mouth melting..

Fig Jam

Fig is one of the fruits for which I knew the English name before I knew its Tamil name (my own mother tongue). Although I have heard the word, I never knew its meaning.Aththi Pazham is the beautiful name I have heard so many times, but never it was Fig.. Always thought of fig as an exotic item, but little did I know that it is so easily available in India.. Recently I was visiting a market and I saw a vendor have a cart full of a pinkish brown produce which looked so much like beetroot, but it was different.. My husband asked me - Do you know what that is? I was like - I am not sure. He said that is Fresh figs!! I was like wow, looks so big and so much like beetroot.. I have mostly seen and used dried ones that are much easier to get.. For this recipe also I have used the dried version only.. Figs are very nutritious and have lots of Iron in them..
