I rarely use my Microwave oven and when I do it is usually to melt butter and some times chocolate. However, Rachel, of Tangerine’s Kitchen, is hosting the event Microwave Easy Cooking, originated by Srivali, of Cooking 4 all Seasons, so in order to participate I google searched and found this recipe. It sounded very easy and indeed it was, only I changed the ingredients with what I had at home and the results were excellent. The children were eager to try it after lunch whilst it was still too soft to cut the pieces, but I just managed to take a few quick photos before it was devoured.

Such an easy recipe Ivy, looks delicious.
I am assuming it would take much longer, probably double in a normal oven?
Love the addition of crasins too : )
