Whole Wheat & Oatmeal Eggless Digestive Biscuits

These whole wheat oatmeal cookies are healthy, crispy and baked to golden perfection. They are completely egg less and have no refined flour. Learn how to make whole wheat oatmeal digestive biscuits.

I have been getting a lot of requests for eggless baking. I generally prefer baking with egg – because it gives a rich taste. But there are many ways you can substitute egg with other vegan ingredients. I’ll probably make an infographic with the quantities some time later and share. These cookies however, are super healthy and super easy to bake. They don’t have any refined flour so you will have all the goodness of whole wheat and oats. They are ready under 45 minutes from start to finish including the resting time for the dough. If you want to learn how to make whole wheat oatmeal cookies, or what we generally call in India digestive biscuits this is probably the easiest recipe you can get. These are very similar to the Graham Crackers that you get in the US.

This homemade white vanilla funfetti cake with butter cream frosting is the easiest DIY birthday cake that you can make. Rustic, easy and homely.

My son turned one this July and I was pretty clear I wanted to bake him his cake. I have been making eggless dessert cakes for him for all his month birthdays that we celebrated (yeah we celebrated every month on the 28^th). The pediatrician we consulted that time insisted not to have any form of egg (or non-vegetarian item, for that matter) in his food! [I bit weird, I felt]. So this is the first full-fledged real cake that he had. This was also his smash cake. And it was gone in no time! Continue reading Funfetti Vanilla Birthday Cake with Butter Cream Frosting
