We had a long weekend over here this weekend with Friday being a public holiday. The thing with long weekends is that I take 2 days to get back on track afterwards! I spent most of my Friday baking and cooking, of course! Then on Saturday, I went to the cinema to watch Narnia – Prince Caspian. I love going to the cinema! And the movie was good. I loved the first Narnia and the second is worth watching as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, let\u2019s go back to the goodies I baked and cooked on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for all your suggestions about the apples, they were really great! I made fat-free apple and banana muffins<\/a>, vegan apple pancakes (recipe below), apple carrot chutney<\/a> and apple sauce (that I used in the muffins).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I searched the internet for recipes and then just cooked out of my head (like I always do!) except for the apple and banana muffins. I just followed the recipe pretty much as it was.<\/p>\n\n\n

I\u2019ll start with the fat-free apple and banana muffins.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s the first time I tried fat-free muffins and they were nicer than what I expected they would be! They were spongy and moist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only change I made to the muffins was that I added some almond pulp to the dough. Almond pulp is the left over that I keep from making almond milk at home. I usually keep the pulp as I think they still contain quite some nutrients and fiber and I don\u2019t like wasting them away. I also used only one banana as I only had one left. And as I was using only one banana, I decided to use apple sauce instead of juice. I made the apple sauce by pureeing some of the pre-cooked apples with a little water in a blender.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Vegan Apple Pancakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I did not look for any particular recipe for the pancakes. I just used my own basic vegan pancake recipe to which I added the pre-cooked apples. One thing that I should have added to the batter and I only realised this afterward, is some coconut milk powder. It makes a softer pancake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recipe is posted below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For myself I made twice the amount in the recipe and ate 3 while I was cooking them! I shared the rest of course!<\/p>\n\n\n

The Apple Carrot Chutney<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I went through several recipes online and I did not quite have all ingredients that they were calling for. So I just made up my own recipe and hoped for the best! And it was nice! The proof is half of it is already gone since Friday. That\u2019s nearly 2 cups of chutney!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Apple Carrot Chutney<\/a> tasted very much like the sweet and sour sauces I usually add to stir fries. Next time I make a stir fry I\u2019m going to add some of this chutney instead! That sounds good! Yum!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
