[For Seniors] Snack Recipes We Want to Make in the October Recreation Activity

Shirayuki Sweet Potato

Kids eat it up! Shiroyuki Sweet Potato — #EasyDessert #EasyRecipe #HomeCafe

The method is simple, and I’ll introduce how to make easy-to-eat, delicious “Shirayuki Sweet Potatoes.” Prepare sweet potatoes, butter, sugar, water, and salt.

Cut the sweet potatoes into cubes and soak them in water for 5 minutes.

Drain, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for 3 minutes.

Stir, microwave for another 1 minute, then drain again.

Heat butter in a frying pan, sauté the sweet potatoes until lightly browned, and set them aside on a plate.

In the same pan, mix sugar and water; stir until it turns pale.

Add the sweet potatoes and salt, and keep stirring until the sugar coats the sweet potatoes and turns pale—then it’s done.

Be careful when using heat to avoid burns, and make sure staff can provide support as needed.

Sweet potato kinton (sweet potato tea towel squeeze)

Super Easy: Fun Snack Activity #dayservice #daycare #adultdaycare #dayrehab #caregiving #seniors #snack #sweetpotato #apple #chakin-shibori

Let me introduce smooth and delicious sweet potato chakin-shibori.

First, heat the sweet potatoes until soft, then mash them finely.

If you put them in a plastic bag and crush them with a pestle, anyone can do it easily.

Once there are no large lumps, add apple jam and mix.

If the mixture isn’t soft enough, adjust the texture by adding a little milk or soy milk at a time.

Take a piece of plastic wrap in your hand, place about two spoonfuls of the mixture on it, and roll it into a ball while shaping it.

Pulling the ends of the wrap will give you a neat “shibori” finish.

You can easily make a charming wagashi-style sweet, so it’s also recommended as a recreation activity in senior care facilities.

Rich chestnut pudding

[Senior Recreation] Rec Craftsman Series Part 144: Rich and Healthy Soy Milk Chestnut Pudding

Here’s a healthy soy milk chestnut pudding.

Mix soy milk and gelatin, then heat it in the microwave.

The heat will dissolve the gelatin, so make sure it’s fully melted.

Set aside a few candied chestnuts for garnish, and blend the rest in a mixer or with an immersion blender.

If you don’t have one, a mortar and pestle will work.

Combine the soy milk and chestnuts and blend again until smooth.

Once well mixed, pour into your favorite cups and chill in the refrigerator.

If you’re short on time, let the mixture cool slightly before pouring, then use metal containers to shorten the setting time.

Top with the reserved candied chestnuts to finish.

It’s a gently sweet, healthy dessert—give it a try!

Steamed sweet potato bread

Ishizue Kitchen: Senior-Friendly Recipe Introduction [Steamed Sweet Potato Bread] #SweetsRecipe #RecipeVariation #PancakeMix

How about sweet potato steamed muffins for a snack activity at a senior care facility? Cut washed sweet potatoes with the skin on into 1 cm cubes, then soak them in water to remove bitterness.

In a bowl, combine pancake mix, eggs, sugar, and milk, and mix well.

Using pancake mix makes it easy to prepare snacks, so it’s perfect for these activities.

Line molds with paper cups, add the microwaved sweet potato pieces and the batter.

Steam-bake in a frying pan for about 15 minutes, and they’re ready.

Sweet potatoes contain calcium to help strengthen bones, dietary fiber to support gut health, and potassium to reduce swelling, making them a great ingredient for older adults!

Baked churros

[No-Fry, Easy] How to Make Churros Without Frying Using Pancake Mix

Let’s try making theme park–favorite churros as a snack activity at a senior care facility! This recipe doesn’t require deep-frying, which lowers the hurdle for preparation.

Put milk and oil in a pot and heat over medium.

Once it comes to a boil, turn off the heat and add pancake mix, stirring to combine.

Be careful not to burn yourself.

Beat eggs in a bowl, then add them to the dough you just made in two additions.

At first the dough won’t come together easily, but if you use a spatula to cut through it finely and then repeatedly press the dough against the bowl and fold it over, it will come together more smoothly.

Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip, pipe onto parchment paper, and bake in the oven.

The toasty aroma makes this a mouthwatering treat!

Pumpkin soft cookies

[Super easy] Snack #Pumpkin #SoftCookies #HotCakeMix #Caregiving #Elderly #EasySnacks

Let’s try making soft pumpkin cookies.

When you think of cookies, most are crisp with a bit of crunch, right? By using pancake mix, even seniors can easily make soft cookies.

The cookies also include mashed pumpkin that’s been microwaved.

You’ll get cookies with a gentle pumpkin aroma and a fluffy, tender texture.

Seniors might find it refreshing to use pancake mix for treats beyond just pancakes.

Pancake-mix recipes were trendy a little while ago.

There are many snacks you can make with pancake mix, so why not give it a try?
