Yesterday was my bake for health exam and 19 of us (my class) had to create our own healthy recipe. It was really challenging and fun at the same time as we could freely express our creativity, exploring into our own choice of either to create a baked or chilled dessert. My lousy phone camera did not show much justice to my dessert, not that my dessert looked picture pretty anyway. It was my first time making this mixed berry bar which I got the recipe from Clean Eating magazine (and I am using it for exam!). I customised and adjusted the recipe based on nutritional value of an individual serving. Made with whole wheat flour and rolled oats that has high fibre, it gave the bar a slightly dense and chewy texture. The dried blueberries, dried apricots and dried wolfberries added a punch of vitamins, minerals as well as antioxidant. The eggs (mainly egg white), some apple sauce and honey acts as a binder as well as natural flavouring. Silvered almonds was for added crunch too. Basically like an all-in-one food that is low fat, low cholesterol and extremely high energy! My applesauce is made by stewing apples with apple cider and a pinch of cinnamon. I found such a cute little pot to place my sour dip in, and to compliment the unappetising bite-size bars that is eaten with a toothpick. |
