Dessert

I apologize for the technical difficulties yesterday. I was having issues uploading pictures. This is an extra post for fun!

Chocolate Waffle stack for breakfast!! This was insanely delicious!
I made the chocolate waffles using Birch Benders paleo pancake mix, water, Good Mylk almond latte creamer, maple syrup, vanilla, sea salt, avocado oil, freeze dried bananas and Your Super chocolate lover. I topped the chocolate waffles with my vegan caramel, The Coconut Cult strawberry immunity potion and freeze dried bananas.

Vegan Caramel Sauce

This caramel sauce is fantastic! It is great for making sticky buns (recipe coming soon), topping on fruit or any dessert.

  • 1 cup +1 TB maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 8 dates, seeded and halved
  • 1 cup almond butter
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract or 1/2″ piece of a vanilla bean, scraped
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Heat maple syrup and coconut oil in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Turn off then heat and add halved and seeded dates to the hot syrup and oil mixture (make sure all the dates are submerged). Cover the saucepan and allow to sit for at least 30 minutes.

Combine the syrup mixture with the rest of the ingredients in a high powered blender. Blend on medium until well combined and thick. Enjoy!

Store in the refrigerator for a week or in the freezer for longer periods of time.

They are made with cassava flour, almond flour and coconut flour and are absolutely delicious! I added some almond milk, 1 TB maple syrup and 1 TB of coconut oil to today’s batch. I topped the waffles with mangoes, nectarines and The Coconut Cult chocolate immunity potion. These were fantastic!

Mixed greens, spinach and kale micro greens dressed in sea salt, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice and balsamic vinegar. I served the greens with quinoa and red beans.

Leftovers, an avocado and a broccoli and kale micro green salad. Greens are dressed in sea salt, lime juice and extra virgin olive oil (with some pumpkin seeds added for crunch). I served the greens with leftover wild rice pesto pasta, pepper roasted chickpeas and shrimp and veggies in a spicy tomato sauce.

2 TB avocado or coconut oil

1/4 tsp sea salt

1/4 tsp smoked red pepper chili powder

1/8-1/4 tsp chipotle pepper

Drain and rinse chickpeas. If the chickpeas are still wet, dry roast them at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes (checking every 5 minutes) until all the water has evaporated. 

Turn oven up to 400 degrees. Combine oil, salt and pepper powders. Coat the chickpeas in the spiced oil mixture and roast in a single layer for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, season to taste with sea salt and squeeze a tiny bit of lemon juice on top.

Zucchini Chickpea Fritters

My husband and I love these fritters.

  • 1 zucchini, grated
  • 1/4 onion, grated or finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup chickpea flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • pinch of black or cayenne pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 tsp mustard
  • 1 tsp soy sauce/apple cider vinegar or coconut aminos
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 cup chickpea flour
  • 2 TB parsley leaves, chopped
  • 3-4 TB avocado oil, coconut oil or ghee

Grate zucchini and combine with the onion in a medium bowl. Toss the zucchini and onion with 1/2 cup chickpea flour, salt and pepper.

Whisk the egg, mustard, soy or vinegar and garlic together in a small bowl.

Add the egg mixture to the zucchini mixture and stir to combine. Fold in the remaining 1/2 cup of chickpea flour. Fold in parsley leaves.

Heat oil or ghee over medium heat until fat shimmers. Add the fritters to the pan using a portion scoop or a spoon. Cook until golden and flip. Cook the other side until golden and remove the fritters to a plate.

Chocolate Pumpkin Cookies

These cookies are so yum! They are quick and easy to make and feature two of my favorite brands: Your Super and Birch Benders.

Makes 7 small cookies:

 

Have all ingredients at room temperature. Preheat oven to 350.

Cream cashew butter with a large wooden spoon or spatula until smooth. Add maple syrup and cream together. Add egg yolk, vanilla and sea salt and cream until well combined. Stir in pancake mix.

Refrigerate for 20 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator and use a portion scoop or your hands and a spoon to form the cookies. Place the cookies on a parchment or Silpat lined baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes (if you make your cookies larger than mine, they will need more baking time). Remove from the oven and let sit on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Remove to a plate/serving tray and enjoy!
