Chiara è una mamma attenta e consapevole.
Prepara cibi sani e nutrienti per i suoi 3 figli e, pian pianino, sta decrescendo. Cominciando dalla merenda dei suoi bambini.
Voglio pubblicare la sua esperienza perchè c'è qualcosa, che ai più sfuggirà, che mi ha colpito: ha scritto che ha cominciato a sostituire il burro con l'olio di semi.
Questo è sicuramente uno dei primi passi da fare verso una vita più sana per se stessi e i propri figli.
So che ha appena autoprodotto la pasta madre per sostituire il lievito chimico.
Sono sicura che il suo racconto troverà molti consensi.
Perchè non serve fare grandi cose per l'ambiente.
Se tutti facessimo anche solo un piccolo passo, sarebbe un grande passo per l'umanità.
I miei “non-cookies americani”
"Venerdì scorso, come mi capita ormai da un paio di mesi a questa parte e a giorni alterni, dovevo preparare qualcosa di buono, di sano e di sfizioso per la merenda pomeridiana dei miei figli.
I giorni in cui, dopo la scuola, possiamo tornarcene a casa perché, stranamente, liberi da impegni, inviti, commissioni e amenità varie, ci divertiamo a preparare merende espresse che spaziano da un “semplice” yogurt con i cereali ai più elaborati pancakes.
Ma quando la merenda deve essere consumata un attimo dopo aver terminato l’allenamento dello sport di turno (quest’anno ci siamo dedicati all’atletica leggera), la cosa si fa più impegnativa, perché la merenda deve essere preparata in anticipo e consumata in loco (ovvero tra il campo e il parcheggio).
Non avevo voglia di produrmi nel “solito panino” (anche le produttrici-indefesse-di-merende hanno bisogno di esprimere il proprio estro e la propria creatività), ho voluto provare la ricetta di biscotti inviatami da una mia amica. Ometterei di dire che i biscotti in questione fossero degli “originalissimi cookies americani”, dal momento che la mamma-salutista che è in me non ha neanche finito di leggere gli ingredienti che, arrivata alla parola burro (lo sai anche tu che il burro sia il male, vero?!) si è lanciata alla ricerca di ricette alternative per sostituire, seduta stante, l’ingrediente del peccato.
E così, senza neanche sbattezzarmi troppo (potere indiscusso del web!) ho trovato una meravigliosa ricetta per realizzare degli squisiti “non-cookies americani”:
Ingredienti:
200 gr farina
100 gr zucchero di canna
80 gr yogurt e 25 gr di olio (al posto dei 125 gr di burro)
1 uovo
1 cucchiaino di lievito per dolci
125 g gocce di cioccolata (io ho usato quelle bianche, ma sono stata calorosamente invitata a non farlo mai più, le gocce di cioccolata sono quelle nere!).
200 gr farina
100 gr zucchero di canna
80 gr yogurt e 25 gr di olio (al posto dei 125 gr di burro)
1 uovo
1 cucchiaino di lievito per dolci
125 g gocce di cioccolata (io ho usato quelle bianche, ma sono stata calorosamente invitata a non farlo mai più, le gocce di cioccolata sono quelle nere!).
Io ho seguito il procedimento per il bimby:
Versare nel boccale zucchero e uovo, vel. 4 per 2 minuti
Aggiungere uovo, farina yogurt e olio, vel 4 per 1 minuto
Aggiungere lievito e gocciole, vel 2 antiorario per 10 secondi
Aggiungere uovo, farina yogurt e olio, vel 4 per 1 minuto
Aggiungere lievito e gocciole, vel 2 antiorario per 10 secondi
In alternativa:
montare lo zucchero con l’uovo; aggiungere lo yogurt e l’olio e continuare a montare con le fruste elettriche; finire con la farina, il lievito e le gocce di cioccolata.
Una volta pronto l’impasto per i biscotti, accendere il forno a 180° in modalità statica (in caso di forno elettrico)
Formare delle palline con l’impasto e schiacciarle con le mani; metterle sulla placca foderata di carta da forno e infornare per una quindicina di minuti (dipende sempre dal forno) e, una volta pronti far freddare su una gretella.
Ai miei figli sono piaciuti moltissimo questi biscotti!

Chiara is a careful and aware mother.
She likes to prepare fresh and healthy foods for her 3 children, she is slowly transitioning. Starting by her children’s snacks.
I want to publish her story as something has impressed me, she wrote that she has taken out butter and started to use seed oil instead.
This is for sure one of the first steps towards a healthier life for the entire family.
I know that she has also started making her own sourdough and eliminating chemical yeast.
I am sure that her story will be appreciated by many, as we don’t always need to do great things to help the environment!
If we all made just a few steps, it would be a great step for mankind!
My “American non-cookies”
"Last Friday, as it often happens since the past two months, every other day, I had to prepare something good, healthy and good for my children’s afternoon tea break.
During our free days, we spend the afternoon at home we have fun making homemade snacks from a “simple” yogurt with cereal to more elaborate pancakes.
But when the snack needs to be eaten as soon as sport has finished (this year we are dedicated to athletics), the snack becomes more complicated as it needs to be prepared beforehand and eaten on the go.
I didn’t want to make the usual sandwich, therefore I wanted to try a biscuit recipe of a friend of mine. These biscuits were original all American cookies, but the healthy mother in me didn’t even read all the ingredients when I saw butter (you know that butter is not healthy!) so I launched myself into a research of an alternative ingredient.
And this i show I found a great alternative to realize delicious “American non-cookies”:
Ingredients:
200 gr flour
100 gr brown sugar
80 gr yogurt and 25 gr of oil (instead of 125gr of butter)
1 egg
1 tsp of yeast
125 g drops of chocolate (I use white chocolate, but I have been told not to use them anymore, the right ones are dark chocolate drops!)
I used the Thermomix:
Poor the sugar and the egg, speed. 4 for 2 minutes
add, flour, yogurt and oil: speed 4 for 1 minute
add the yeast and chocolate drops, speed 2 antiorario for 10 seconds
In alternative:
Mix the egg and the sugar into a cream, add the yogurt and the oil and continue to mix well with an electric mixer; add the flour, the yeast and the chocolate mix with a wooden spoon.
When ready, turn the oven on at 180° in static mode (if it is an electric oven)
Make balls with the dough and flatten them with your hands, put them on the pan with oven paper and put in oven for 15 minutes, take out and cool down on a grill.
My kids loved them!
Ops, who knows what I will invent today…”
