Multigrain nut mooncake
Overview
Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, people who love baking make mooncakes for family and friends. I am no exception. I made this mooncake for my family, so I modified the filling. Xylitol is added to reduce the amount of sucrose. And added healthy ingredients such as oatmeal and flax seeds. I will share this mooncake with you below.

Ingredients
Steps
-
Pour the inverted syrup into a larger basin, add water and mix well, add vegetable oil (corn oil or peanut oil) and mix;
-
Sift in the flour, use a spatula to cut and mix until there is no dry flour, and knead into a ball with your hands. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes. .
-
Fry the sesame seeds, oats, and flax seeds separately and set aside;
-
Fry walnuts, pine nuts, peanuts, and almonds separately, then cut these nuts into small pieces and set aside;.
-
Pour the prepared lotus seed puree and glutinous rice flour (70g) into a larger deep dish, add water (85g), xylitol and maltitol and mix well. Pour in all the fried grains and nuts, mix with the glutinous rice lotus seed paste and form a ball (if it doesn’t form a ball, add a little water and glutinous rice flour);.
-
Divide 20g of pie crust/piece and 30g/piece of filling into 18 portions, roll them into balls and set aside. Take a piece of pie crust and flatten it with the palm of your hand;.
-
Wrap in a portion of grain and nut filling;
-
While turning, use the tiger's mouth to push up the pie crust so that it evenly covers the filling, then tighten the mouth and roll it into a smooth ball shape;
-
Sprinkle an appropriate amount of flour into the mold, turn it around and knock out the excess flour, so that the mold will be evenly covered with a layer of flour to prevent sticking. Put the mooncake embryo into the mold;.
-
Use your hands to gently flatten the mooncake embryo so that it adheres to the surrounding sides of the mold as much as possible. Press the mold hard and push out the mooncake to complete one. Wrap the filling in the remaining cake skin and use a mold to make a mooncake embryo;.
-
Preheat the oven to 175°C, use a spray bottle to spray an appropriate amount of water on the mooncakes, place the mooncakes in the middle layer of the oven, and heat up and down for 5 minutes. .
-
Take out the mooncake embryo and use a wool brush to brush the surface of the mooncake with egg yolk liquid. .
-
Continue to bake for another 10-12 minutes, until the surface is golden brown (total baking time is 15-17 minutes). .
-
Let the baked mooncakes cool and then put them in a clean covered crisper and let them sit for 2-3 days, waiting for the oil to return. .
-
The skin of the mooncake after oil recovery is smooth and shiny, the whole mooncake is moderately soft and hard, sweet and delicious.
