Baked Recipes

Five recipes here go in the oven instead of a pan or a fridge: finger millet (ragi) chocolate cupcakes, a whole wheat jaggery chocolate cake, and homemade nut and seed energy bars among them. None use refined sugar or maida — jaggery, dates, and whole-grain flours carry the sweetness and structure instead. Baking sets these apart from the no-bake and no-cook recipes elsewhere on the site: expect a real crumb and a browned top, not a fridge-set bar. Jaggery browns faster and holds more moisture than white sugar, so start checking the oven a few minutes earlier than a standard recipe would tell you to.
