Zara Cooks Tasty & Healthy Food
Hello everyone,
With this channel, I would like to share a personal experience on how we can put together a tasty cooking recipe that is at the same time nutritious and healthy!
With the internet, most of us become open to the richness and diversity of the world’s biggest food traditions. At the same time, we can feel overwhelmed with the number of diets, recipes and nutritional recommendations out there. It becomes hard to make the right choices for ourselves.
I will share some skills & knowledge about food and nutrition that helped me to stay in good shape (keep my ideal weight) and retrieve my health (I was able to overcome a severe Iron Deficiency). I will try to share some nutritional facts backed by science I learned in my own journey to healing and good nutrition.
Opting for fresh / wholesome ingredients and healthy / tasty recipes will help us all cope against the health challenges we're all facing nowadays.
Stay Healthy. Stay Happy Everyone!

If your dates aren’t soft can soaking them help?
From my experience, treats made with soft dates (don’t need soaking) last and stay safe to consumption for longer. If you have no choice but soaking your dates, make sure you consume them quickly or store them in the freezer to ovoid spoilage (from the dates moisture) 🙏
Protein Protein Protein. Where do you get your Protein.
You’ll get 8g of protein per serving mainly from the cottage cheese 🙏
Nice☺️☺️
Thank you 🙏 🥰
Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤
You’re very welcome 🙏 I’m glad you’re loving the recipe 🤗
Love your recipes thank you! You could make pizza with this
Thank you 🙏 Happy to know, you’re loving the recipe 🤗 Yes, you can make an amazing pizza crust out of this batter 👍
Really good 👍
Thank you 🙏 Glad you’re liking it 🤗
Since I'm using feta for the filling, can I substitute feta for the cottage cheese?
Yes, you can use feta cheese also for the lentil batter, if that what you prefer. Just make sure you add some of the water feta cheese (if it’s not the dry version) that you can keep the right batter consistency (cottage cheese contains some liquid) 🙏
Wait. Rolled oats? Gluten free?
Yes, oats are naturally gluten free in nature. They can be contaminated with gluten when processed in facilities that deal with wheat or rye! People with celiac need to buy certified gluten free oats, though 🙏
I would like to know about those crackers
Love it 😊
I've added some cheese. It's even better!
Yes, you’re right, cheese just makes any recipe more tasty, but here I’m making this bread for my vegan followers and it’s also great as is for non vegans, I believe 🙏😇
I would add a clove of raw garlic. Fantastic recipe. Thank you.
You are right, that’s a great addition 🤗
Can you use yogurt instead of milk?
I think, you can start by soaking dried apricots in hot water. Once, soft and tender, strain them. Add to them your preferred yogurt and blend until soft and well incorporated. You should get a great ´mousse’ as well 🙏
This is such a great idea! Will definitely try it.
Thank you 🙏 Glad you’re loving the idea 💓
If I can't use milk, can I change it to water?
Yes, certainly you can 🙏
@@zaracooks great! thank you
Good for hot days thanks
Looks yummy and easy to make, but unfortunately not healthy. Did you know that the milk in the cheese prohibits the body's absorption of the iron in the spinach?
Thank you for your feedback 🙏 I’m glad to know you’re providing real and true nutritional information about iron and its negative interaction with dairy product (more specifically, calcium). For that exact reason, I’m using cottage cheese. It’s the least rich in calcium (only 250 mg in 1 cup cottage cheese) and if you look to the quantity of calcium per slide (250 mg / 9 slides) it’s only ~28 mg of calcium! That shouldn’t affect at all the iron absorption (check the paper, I’m linking below). irondisorders.org/diet/ Actually, the eggs (yolks, in particular) are more negatively affecting iron absorption in this case, and when I’m suffering low iron myself, I just use egg whites for the recipe (the softness and bread like taste of these recipes is reachable only with those two ingredients, a dairy product and eggs). It’s hard to start mentioning all these details when most people interested in gluten-free recipes are not suffering from an iron deficiency 🙏
Delicious 😋 thanks
Thank you 😇
Can I use lentil flour ? If you have the recipe lentil flour instead of mixed lentils PLEASE post it . Merci beaucoup
Sorry, but I haven’t tried the recipe with lentils flour. I prefer to work with wholesome foods as much as I can 🙏 I think, you can use red lentil flour, but you may need to adjust the liquid to get the right batter consistency (add up to a 1/2 cup water) 🤗
Looks amazing 😻
Thank you 🙏 Glad, you’re loving it 🤗
They look amazing. but I can’t eat oats 😢 I made them with out oats. I love them 😊
Is there another ingredient I can substitute the oak with? I'm diabetic
I have done 2 other similar recipes with quinoa / red lentils or buckwheat / red lentils and they all taste just as good as these ones! See if you are OK with one or both of them 🙏🤗 kzread.info/dash/bejne/lWWpu6SwXbLYobA.htmlsi=urJa2eE-HV8EawAF kzread.info/dash/bejne/ho6n2q9skZzYqpc.htmlsi=kGKuSNDjTWuE9_v0
Arghhh music noooo
🙏😢
❤
It’s a good recipe. Just a correction for others trying this recipe: the description box says 1 tbsp baking powder when it should be 1 teaspoon. Our muffins turned out a bit bitter due to this.
Is there a substitute for cottage cheese!!??
Oh, you can use sour cream, plain yogurt or Greek yogurt 🙏
Excellent greetings from Serbia
Thank you so much 🙏💓
It’s perfect !
Thank you 🙏 I’m glad you’re liking it 🥰
Sister maple syrup ki jagha kya daal sakty hain..what is the substitute of maple syrup plz
You can use honey, agave syrup or any molasses as a substitute 🙏
I made it and it tasted delicious thanks
Wow, I’m so glad you get the chance to try it and you liked it 🙏🥰
BISKITS!
❤
muchas gracias!!
You’re welcome 🙏😇
What would be the replacement for eggs and cottage cheese ?
You can skip the eggs or use an egg substitute like “Just Egg”. If you skip the eggs you need to add an extra 1/4 cup of dairy. Instead of cottage cheese, you can use sour cream, plain yogurt or Greek yogurt 🙏
What substitutes can I use instead of egg
It’s hard to replace the eggs in this particular recipe 🥹 But, if you’re vegan, I would suggest you add a 1/4 cup chickpea flour or polenta. You can a 1/4 cup of water (or brought) to one or the other (to dissolve) and add to the rest of ingredients. It will help for the binding part without altering the original taste too much 🙏
I was thinking the same. Maybe we can try ground flaxseed. 1 tbsp for 1 egg. Soaked in 3 tbsp water for 10 mins. It's mainly for binding and making the muffins light. Add half tsp bicarbonate for raising and softness. Chickpea flour would probably make them dense without enough raising agents.
Brilliant...and healthy too 💕🙏🏽💐
Thank you 🙏 Hope you can give it a try 🥰
could you substitute walnuts or almonds for the peanuts?
Yes, absolutely 👍 I have even done a similar recipe with walnuts if you want to get some inspiration 🤗 kzread.info/dash/bejne/qHps0LyInMXRipM.html
❤
This came out absolutely perfect! It is delicious! Thank you! And it is very versitile. I'm sure that other fillings, like broccoli or zucchini, will come out just as good.
Thank you for the feedback and so glad you liked it 🙏🥰
Lovely thank you 🎉
You’re welcome 😊💓
درود بر شما من متوجه مواد لازم نشدم میشه بنویسید ؟
The long recipe is linked within the reel already if you want to watch it! Or, here’s is the description for you 🙏 Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the cups of a mini loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking. In a medium bowl, combine the sesame seeds with maple syrup. Mix thoroughly until every seed is well-coated with the syrup, which acts as the binder. Spoon about 1 ½ tablespoons of the sticky sesame mixture into each parchment-lined loaf cup. Use an espresso coffee spoon or any small spoon to press the mixture firmly, ensuring a smooth and even distribution. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the sesame crunches to cool completely in the pan before removing them. This ensures they are set properly and hold their shape. Ingredients for 8 larges sesame crunch candies: 1 cup (120 g) sesame seeds 3 to 4 tbsp. maple syrup
Love this recipe. Thanks for sharing!!
You are so welcome 🙏🥰
