Sweet Dough

This is an awesome all purpose sweet dough. You can use this to make tarts, pies, sticky buns… Many recipes coming soon with this dough.

-1/4 cup coconut manna

-1/4 cup chia seeds, ground

-1/4 cup flax seeds, ground

-1/2 cup water

-1 cup cassava flour

-1/4 tsp baking soda

-1/4 tsp baking powder

-1/2 tsp sea salt

-1/2 cup maple syrup

-1/4 cup coconut manna

Spread 1/4 cup of coconut manna on a parchment paper lined plate and place in the freezer while you make the rest of this recipe.

Stir chia seeds, flax seeds and water together and set aside for 20 minutes.

Whisk the dry ingredients (cassava, baking soda, baking powder and sea salt) together.

Add maple syrup and 1/4 cup coconut manna to a blender and combine well.

Add the chia and flax mixture to a stand mixer. Mix, using a paddle attachment, on medium until smooth.

Add the maple syrup and coconut manna mixture in 3 additions. Beat on medium until each addition is well incorporated..

Add the dry ingredients in 3 additions. Beat on low until each addition is well combined. Once all the dry ingredients are added, turn the stand mixer up to medium and beat until the dough comes together in a sticky mass.

Remove the coconut manna from the freezer and add to the dough. Beat on medium until the little manna pieces are all worked into the dough.

Use the dough or store in the freezer until ready to use!

Fire Roasted Tomato Aioli (updated recipe)

  • 2 cups of tomatoes
  • 1 TB avocado oil
  • 1/4 cup + 3 TB extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
  • a very large pinch salt
  • pinch of black pepper
  • 1/4 cup + 2 TB cashew butter
  • 1 small garlic bulb
  • 2 tsp nutritional yeast
  • pinch of paprika
  • pinch of cayenne
  • pinch of chilli powder
  • juice and zest of half a lemon

Turn oven to 450 degrees.

Chop the tomatoes (unless they are cherry or grape tomatoes). Coat the tomatoes in 1 TB avocado oil in a cast iron pan. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Place the cast iron pan on the top rack of your oven and roast the tomatoes 20 minutes. Turn the broiler on and roast for an additional 3-5 minutes, until blackened. Remove from the oven, season with an extra pinch of sea salt and allow to come to room temperature.

Combine the tomatoes with the remaining oil, salt, pepper, nutritional yeast, paprika, cayenne, chili powder and lemon juice and zest in a high powered blender until well combined and creamy! Season to taste with sea salt, chili powder and lemon juice, if needed.

This is a fantastic sauce for adding to dishes, dipping and topping. This sauce also freezes well.
