No sugar, flour, eggs and dairy Biscuits (Apple Sauce, Banana and Oatmeal Biscuits)

These are beautiful, healthy biscuit suitable as gilt free treats, or even breakfast. Makes 14-15 biscuit.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup almond meal
1/3 cup dried cranberries, chopped
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup apple sauce (unsweetened)*
1 tsp cinnamon

Method:
Preheat oven to 175*C; prepare a biscuit pan, cover with baking paper.
Grind 1 cup of oats, leave other 1/2 cup whole (or use oat as it is). Mix with cinnamon, cranberries and almond meal. Add mashed bananas and apple sauce; mix until all incorporated.  Take spoonfuls of this mixture and place it onto pan (I used ice-cream scoop). Press slightly the top of every biscuit with fork. Place in oven and bake for 20(+) minutes.
*If you can't buy apple sauce, cook 2-3 peeled and chopped apples until all moisture evaporates and apples become soft. Puree it into thick sauce (you'll need 1 cup)

Keksi sa Bananom, Jabukam i Zobenim pahuljicama (keksi bez jaja, maslaca, secera i brasna)

Divni su i veoma zdravi, a mogu posluziti kao dorucak ili poslastica bez-osjecaja-krivnje . Dobicete 14-15 keksica.

Potrebno:

1 1/2 solja zobenih pahuljica

1/2 solje mljevenog badema

1/3 solje susenih brusnica, isjeckanih

2 zrele banane, propasirane

1 solja sosa od jabuka (nezasladjen)*

1 k cimeta

Nacin:

Ukljucite rernu na 175*C; pripremite tepsiju za keksice, oblozite je neprijanjajucim papirom.

Sameljite 1 solju pahuljica (u mlinu za kafu, npr) drugu polovicu ostavite kakva jeste (ili mozete sve koristiti kako jeste - presovana zob). Pomijesajte sa bademovim brasnom, brusnicama i cimetom. Umijesajte pasirane banane i sos od jabuka. Izmijesajte dobro. Uzimajte po kasiku ove smjese (ja sam koristila hvataljku za sladoled)i smijestajte na papir. Svaki keksic malo pritisnite viljuskom, zatim smjestite u rernu i pecite 20(+) minuta.

*Ako nemozete kupiti gotov sos od jabuka - ogulite i narezite 2-3 jabuke, stavite u manju serpicu i dinstajte dok tecnost ne ispari, a jabuke postanu mekane. Ispasirajte; treba da dobijete 1 solju sosa.

Banana Fritters with Salted Caramel

My boys (especially my hubby) can't imagine a day without bananas. So, you suppose, I always have to find ways of  using them somehow. Some of them go to the freezer (for shakes), end up in Banana bread, or get coated in crispy batter, fried and served with Salted caramel.

Ingredients:

ripe bananas, halved 

1 cup SR flour

3/4 cup cold water

pinch of cinnamon 

oil for deep frying

Caramel sauce-

200 g sugar

1/2 cup cream (35%)

80 g butter

pinch of salt 

Method:

Place oil in a deep frying dish; heat to medium hot.

Mix flour, cinnamon and water. Dip each half of banana into batter and fry 2-3 at a time, until golden in colour. Drain onto paper towel well.

Caramel sauce-

Place sugar into a heavy bottomed pan. When starts caramelizing, swirl and shake you pan. When all sugar meted and golden in colour, pour cream and ad butter. Return to slow heat and let it melt. Add pinch of salt, stir and take off of heat.

To serve- place bananas onto serving dish; pour caramel over them and enjoy.

If you don't want to make caramel sauce, serve with cream / dusted with icing sugar / icecream / custard...

Pohovane Banane sa Karamel Prelivom

Moji muski (posebno mm) nemogu biti dana bez banana. Pretpostavljate onda,  da uvijek imam one koje su prezrele i treba ih nekako iskoristiti. Osim zamrzavanja (za šejks), volim praviti Banana Bread ili ih pohovati i servirati sa karamel prelivom.

Potrebno:

zrele banane, prepolovljene

1 solja samodizajuceg brasna

3/4 solje hladne vode

malo cimeta

ulje za przenje (duboko)

Karamel-

200 gr secera

1/2 solje (125ml) vrhnja slatkog

80 gr maslaca

malo soli

Nacin:

Zagrijte ulje za duboko przenje.

Umijesajte brasno, cimet i vodu u glatku masu. Umacite banane i przite na srednjoj vatri, 2-3 najvise, dok ne postanu zlatno-zute. Ocijedite na papiru poslije przenja.

Karamel-

Stavite secer u posudu sa teskim dnom. Zagrijavajte dokne pocne da se otapa. Okrecite i treskajte posudu dok se sav secer ne pretvori u zlatno braon masu. Ubacite vrhnje i maslac. Vratite na slabu vatru dok se ne otope. Zasolite i promijesajte, pa smaknite sa vatre. 

Smjestite banane na posudu za serviranje, prelijte sa karamelom i uzivajte.

Banane mozete servirati sa vrhnjem / secerom u prahu / sladoledom / rijetkim pudingom...
