I am one with a big appetite. I love to eat … and though I try to be physically active with sports and exercise, part of taking care of oneself is watching what we eat. I try to make healthy food choices and tweak recipes to satisfy my cravings with a little less guilt.
I have recently tried using whole wheat flour in baking and while I am yet to perfect breadmaking
here's a healthier version of the beloved Filipino steamed cake we call PUTO!
Whole wheat flour has more fiber and vitamin content than white flour. Whole-wheat flour contains several vitamins, including folate, riboflavin and vitamins B-1, B-3 and B-5.
Substituting whole wheat flour for refined flour helps us get the nutritional benefits with out sacrificing the foods you love, so give it a go! Whole Wheat Puto
Ingredients:
- 1 cup wheat flour
- 1 cup milk
- 4 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1egg
- a pinch of salt
- your choice of flavorings (pandan, vanilla, ube)
- your choice of toppings (salted egg, cheese)
How to:
- mix all ingredients in a bowl until well combined and no lumps, add desired flavorings
- transfer to greased puto cups or a heat proof bowls
- steams for about 10-20 minutes (depending on how large your cups are) - put toppings halfway through cooking - do a toothpick test like you would a baked cake to test for doneness - enjoy!
I made a supper sized version with simple vanilla flavoring topped with cheese... and yes I shared it! am not counting calories but hey it is always good to share :)
