Batter Ingredients- 200g Pancake Mix
- 150ml Milk (adjust for batter consistency)
- 1 Egg
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s make a colorful vegetable puree. Prepare washed spinach, carrot, and sweet raisins. Place these ingredients into a blender. If the vegetables don’t release much moisture, add a tiny bit of water and blend until smooth. Vegetables like carrots and spinach often have enough water to blend without added liquid. This puree will add a subtle color and natural sweetness to your bread.
Step 2
Now, it’s time to make the bread batter. In a large bowl, add about 200g of pancake mix. Crack in 1 egg and pour in 150ml of milk. It’s important to get the batter consistency right, so you might need to adjust the amount of milk – aim for a fairly thick batter since the vegetable puree will add moisture. Add the prepared vegetable puree to the batter and mix gently until just combined. The batter with carrot puree will have a lovely orange hue. Ensure there are no lumps; mix until smooth.
Step 3
Place your muffin liners into the steamer basket beforehand. This will help them sit securely and prevent them from falling through. Fill the steamer with enough water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. Letting the steamer get nice and steamy before adding the bread ensures it cooks evenly and becomes wonderfully moist.
Step 4
Carefully spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. This leaves room for the bread to puff up as it steams. Place the filled muffin cups into the preheated steamer basket. Cover with the lid and steam for 10 to 15 minutes. To check if the bread is done, insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of a loaf. If it comes out clean with no wet batter sticking to it, the bread is perfectly cooked. Once steamed, let the bread cool slightly before decorating the tops with rainbow sprinkles. If you don’t have sprinkles, finely chopped nuts are a delicious alternative, adding a nice crunch. Enjoy your delightful homemade vegetable bread!
