Led by our in-house nutritionist, Ms. Zolynne Tan, the Healthy Baking Workshop on 28 June 2025 was more than just a cooking session.\u00a0 It was a fun, hands-on introduction to family nutrition. Thoughtfully designed for both parents and children, the workshop combined interactive baking activities with simple, practical lessons on healthy eating.<\/p>\n<\/div>

From the start, families rolled up their sleeves and got to work transforming everyday ingredients into something special. The star of the session? Our Monkey Magic Cake\u2014a moist, naturally sweet treat powered by bananas and oats.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Instead of refined sugar, bananas were used to add natural sweetness\u2014along with a healthy dose of potassium, fiber, and vitamin B6. Oats replaced white flour, offering a higher-fiber alternative that supports digestion and helps maintain stable energy levels\u2014perfect for little tummies.<\/p>\n<\/div>

But the experience went beyond following a recipe. Ms. Tan shared practical tips for choosing healthier ingredients when cooking or baking at home.\u00a0 She showed how simple swaps\u2014like using fruits and whole grains\u2014can make a meaningful difference to a family\u2019s overall wellbeing. These ideas were brought to life through stories, easy-to-follow demonstrations, and plenty of hands-on fun. These helped to educate not just the parents, but also the little ones, on the importance of mindful eating.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The workshop ended on a high note\u2014with happy children, proud parents, and cakes decorated with creativity (and plenty of love). Many families shared how inspired they felt to recreate the recipe at home, and some were already looking forward to our next healthy baking adventure.<\/p>\n

To keep the excitement \u00a0going, we are excited to share the recipe so you can experience the magic in your own kitchen.<\/p>\n
