My Secret Weapon: The Haier I-Master Series 7 Blender

The secret to this recipe’s speed and simplicity lies in the appliance that has rapidly become one of my kitchen heroes: the Haier I-Master Series 7 Blender. I have been using the kneading blade for this recipe, and it works beautifully to bring everything together with the ideal consistency. No fuss, no separate bowls, and no floury mess scattered across the kitchen.

The blender does all the hard work for you. Start by whizzing up the wet ingredients until smooth, then add the dry ingredients and blend for just long enough to combine. The batter is ready before you have even finished pre-heating the oven.

Using the Haier I-Master Series 7 Blender makes the process so easy. This isn’t just any blender, it’s a genuinely smart piece of kitchen kit designed for versatility. With 10 adjustable speeds, three different jugs, and even a dedicated kneading programme, it is engineered to handle far more than smoothies. In my kitchen it has already taken on soups, bread, and dips with ease, and it consistently delivers smooth, perfectly blended mixtures that would take significantly longer by hand.
