This is so yummy!!

  • 2 cups oats
  • 1 cup flax seeds, ground
  • 1 cup almonds, chopped
  • Large pinch sea salt
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 2 TB almond butter
  • 1/4 cup + 3 TB maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 3 1” cubes cacao paste, microplaned or finely grated
  • 1/2 cup dried banana

Toast oats at 325 degrees for 10 minutes.

While oats are toasting, melt coconut oil, almond butter and maple syrup over very low heat until coconut oil is melted. Turn off heat. Add vanilla and finely grated cacao paste to the maple mixture and stir to combine.

Remove the oats from the oven and add flax, almonds, salt and the chocolate maple mixture. Stir to combine. Cook in the oven for 25 minutes, stirring after 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir in the dried banana. Allow the granola to come to room temperature (stirring every 10ish minutes, so it doesn’t stick to the pan).

Enjoy!!

Makes 4 servings

These were so delicious and creamy!

4 TB maple syrup
4 TB avocado oil
Pinch of sea salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
About 1” cube of cacao paste
1 can full fat coconut milk (try to find one without added guar gum)

1 1/3 cup oats
3 TB flax seeds
3 TB almond flour
4 scoops collagen peptides
Pinch of salt

Heat avocado oil and maple syrup over very low heat until hot. Turn off heat and microplane the cacao paste over the maple oil mixture (if you don’t have a microplane, grate or chop cacao paste very fine). Stir in vanilla and coconut milk.
In a bowl combine oats, flax seeds, almond flour, collagen and salt. Add the liquid mixture and stir combine. Scoop each serving into individual ramekins/bowls/glasses, cover and refrigerate over night. Top with fresh fruit and enjoy!

So this was lunch yesterday. I was waiting on my csa delivery and completely out of produce (except garlic scapes and jalapeños), so I made pasta with garlic scapes and jalapeños. This was absolutely delicious! Jovial brown rice pasta (the absolute best gluten free pasta) with garlic scapes, jalapeños, sea salt, black pepper and Brightland extra virgin olive oil. I cooked the pasta risotto style and added lime juice and egg yolks once the pasta was al dente.
