CRANBERRY CHIA PUDDING

CRANBERRY CHIA PUDDING

Do you find it hard to mix up breakfast as I do? This morning morning we had this cranberry chia pudding that I made last night. I haven’t made chia pudding for many months. I blended coconut milk (I make my coconut milk from coconut […]

BAKED BANANA OATMEAL

BAKED BANANA OATMEAL

I’ve said before that I sometimes make gluten free oatmeal. However, I always add hydrolysed gelatin powder (also called collagen powder) and coconut oil or butter. This way my oatmeal becomes more than just a carbohydrate rich meal. I explain more why in this post where I […]

APPLE CINNAMON OATMEAL W. CARAMELISED APPLES + NUTS

APPLE CINNAMON OATMEAL W. CARAMELISED APPLES + NUTS

I’ll sometime make gluten free oatmeal but I always add hydrolysed gelatin powder (also called collagen powder) and coconut oil or butter. This way my oatmeal becomes more than just a carbohydrate rich meal. The gelatin/collagen increases your dietary protein and essential amino acids. Amino acids such as glycine, lysine and proline supports the body’s ability to grow muscle mass and maintain healthy bones, joints and skin. The coconut oil or butter increases your dietary fat intake of healthy fats. If you don’t have gelatin or collagen powder, you can add psyllium husk instead which will increase your dietary intake of fiber.

 

INGREDIENTS

½ cup Gluten free oats

1 Small apple, peeled and diced into bite-sized pieces

½ cup Unsweetened apple sauce

½ cup Water

½ cup Non-dairy milk (I used coconut milk powder + water)

½ tsp Cinnamon

⅛ tsp Nutmeg

1 tbsp Natural sweetener (if needed)

2 scoops Gelatin powder (I use Bulletproof’s Collagen Protein) (optional)

2 tbsp Coconut oil or butter (optional)

 

TOPPING

1 Apple, peeled and diced into bite-sized pieces

1 tbsp Coconut oil or butter

2 tbsp Chopped nuts

A little natural sweetener (to taste)

 

DIRECTIONS

In a small saucepan, combine oats, diced apples, apple sauce, water, non-dairy milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, gelatin powder and coconut oil or butter. I let it soak in the fridge over night. Simmer until liquid has absorbed into the oats, stirring frequently to prevent burning, for about 8-10 minutes. Add more water and your natural sweetener if needed.

Meanwhile, in a separate small saucepan, melt the coconut oil or butter over medium heat. Add the diced apple chunks and little natural sweetener of your choice. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweetener has melted and formed a caramel-like sauce on the apples. Stir in the nuts.

Serve the oatmeal immediately, topped with the caramelised apples. Enjoy!

CHAI PUMPKIN BITES

CHAI PUMPKIN BITES

IMG_4449

I had some left over pumpkin puree which inspired me to make these pumpkin and chai spiced bites.

I often freeze pumpkin puree in the freezer in 1 cup portions. One way to make pumpkin puree is to cook then in the oven until soft and then puree them.

INGREDIENTS

4 tbsp Grass fed beef gelatine
½ cup Water
2 cups Coconut cream (or 400ml can)
1/3 cup Coconut oil
1/2 cup Pumpkin puree
2 tbsp Honey or rice syrup
1 tsp Cinnamon powder
1/4 tsp Cardamon powder
1/4 tsp All spice powder
1/8 tsp Ginger powder
Large pinch of sea salt

 

DIRECTIONS

Saucepan

In a small bowl, stir the beef gelatine into the cold water.  Set it aside to let the gelatine bloom for 3-5 minutes.

Add the coconut cream, coconut oil, pumpkin puree and sea salt to a medium saucepan. Place it over low heat and stir until the mixture is smooth. Turn the heat off and add the bloomed gelatine and continue stirring until the gelatine is dissolved. Then add sweetener, cinnamon, cardamon, all spice and nutmeg powder and stir until combined.

Take the pan off of the heat and pour the mix into silicone moulds or a glass baking dish. Refrigerate the gummies until solid, about 1-2 hours for molds or 3+ hours for a glass dish.  Store the gummies in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Thermomix

In a small bowl, stir the beef gelatine into the boiling hot water until mixed.

Set the Thermomix to 50C for 5 minutes at speed 4. Add the coconut cream, coconut oil, pumpkin puree, sweetener, sea salt, cinnamon, cardamon, all spice and nutmeg powder and spin until combined. Then add the dissolved gelatine mix to the Thermomix bowl and spin at speed 8 for another 5 minutes. The last 1 minute add the green matcha powder until desired flavour.

Pour the mix into silicone moulds or a glass baking dish. Refrigerate the gummies until solid, about 1-2 hours for molds or 3+ hours for a glass dish.  Store the gummies in the refrigerator for up to a week.
