Power balls are my go-to pre run nutrition, so I keep experimenting with the flavors. It’s good to use something else than dates for a change. Give them a try.
Ingredients 🌱250g apricot paste 🌱2 cups amaranth pops 🌱1 cup corn flakes 🌱1 drop peppermint extract
You can make apricot paste from dried apricots in a food processor and then mix and massage everything by hand.
Don’t add more than a drop of peppermint, it will be too overpowering.
This batch makes about 18 balls 2 tbsp in size. Store in the freezer.
This rhubarb pie is delicious, simple and gluten free with lots of whole foods and fiber rich ingredients. Too bad that rhubarb season is over, but you might still find some in the frozen section. I know I’ll look until is back in season.
Rhubarb layer 🌱1 rhubarb jam batch* 🌱4 tbsp starch 🌱4 tbsp water
Crust 🌱2 cups quick oats 🌱1 cup date paste/processed dates 🌱1/2 cup coconut flakes 🌱2 tbsp nut butter 🌱1 banana
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
Mix the starch and water and add them to the jam while still on the stove. Cook for a few minutes until it starts to thicken.
Mix all the crust ingredients and spread and press the mixture into a baking dish.
Pour the jam and bake for 25 minutes.
Allow to completely cool. It will thicken even more in the fridge.
If you double the crust recipe, you can make a crumble pie, as you see in the last photos. Just make small clumps and sprinkle them on top for extra goodness.
*Rhubarb Jam Ingredients 🌱450g rhubarb 🌱1 jar/360g pure apple sauce 🌱1 cup water
Chop the rhubarb in 2cm/1in pieces.
Add it to a pot together with the water and simmer while stirring until half of the rhubarb dissolves. You could go on, but it will start sticking to the pot.
Mix in the apple sauce and remove from heat after 1-2 minutes.
Use an immersion blender for an even texture if you wish. I like it both ways.
Jams can be stored for months in sterilized jars. I sterilize mine in the oven and the caps in hot water. Then I pour the hot content in the hot jars and seal the caps. You can use this method for anything.
