Peach N Cornflakes Pudding

I love baked items and especially bread pudding is my childhood favorite. So this time while making bread pudding.  I also added equal amount of cornflakes and peaches to give a twist to the normal bread pudding.
The pudding filled my kitchen with a lovely peachy aroma when I baked it.

 The reason for adding cornflakes n peaches was that these are my secret ingredients for our monthly event shhh-cooking-secretly-challenge started by Priya Suresh. My this month's partner Sonali gave me these two secret ingredients which worked wonders and made the pudding very delicious .

Ingredients :

2 cups..............................cornflakes ( roasted )
2 cups............................bread crumbs
2 ..................................eggs
2 .................................peaches ( deseeded n cubed )
1 cup...........................sugar
1 tsp...........................baking powder
1/2 tsp........................fruit flavored essence
1 tbsp.......................ghee





Method :

In a bowl mix bread crumbs with eggs , sugar, baking powder and essence.

Keep aside for 1/2 an hour .

Then add the chopped peaches and cornflakes n mix gently.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 20 minutes or till the surface becomes golden.

Serve as it is or serve with vanilla ice cream.

Whole Wheat Peach Brownies ( Groovy Gourmets)

Brownies are my favourites and I have always imagined them rich with chocolate, chocolate walnut brownie being my idea of a perfect dessert with ice - cream.

So this month when the Groovy Gourmets  were challenged  to make a brownie with something other than chocolate I did some surfing on the net and finally decided to try peach brownies as this time in mumbai we are getting fresh ripe peaches.

 Also I made it without eggs and used whole wheat instead of maida. I did not remove the skin of the peaches as I am against peeling the fruits unless it is an absolute necessity ( as in bananas ) . The brownies turned out to be super delicious, soft and moist . They were delicious with the tartness of peaches ( though I missed the chocolate part ) .

They tasted just out of this world with chilled whipped cream . I took the pics without whipped cream because I just couldn't take the risk . They were on the verge of getting vanished and so hurriedly took the pics.

Ingredients : 

2 cups ....................wheat flour
1 big......................peach ( stoned and cubed with skin on)
3/4 cup..................sugar
1/2 cup .................butter
2 tbsp...................milk
2 tbsp.................sour curds
1 tsp...................baking powder
1/4 tsp................mix fruit essence

Method :

In a mixer mix together wheat flour and baking powder and keep it aside.
Now in the same mixer blend butter, milk, sugar and essence .
Add the cubed peaches and fold in the wheat flour very gently.
Do not over mix it or else the brownie won't be soft and fluffy.
Pour in a greased baking dish and bake at 180 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.
Serve hot or cold with icecream of whipped cream.
