Healthy Carrot Cake Oatmeal Cookies

Gambar
I just made these and they’re great! I used regular flour since that’s all that I have. I also did half honey and half maple syrup, and I had some leftover fig spread (a tablespoon or two) so I added that in. I ended up with bigger cookies (12 instead of 15) and had to cook them longer which is typical for my oven anyway. They’re the perfect flavor and nice and soft/chewy. Next time I’ll probably try them with raisins or apples…I think it’s a very versatile recipe! Ingredients 1 cup (100g) instant oats (measured like this and gluten-free if necessary) ¾ cup (90g) whole wheat or gluten-free* flour (measured like this) 1 ½ tsp baking powder 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon ⅛ tsp salt 2 tbsp (28g) coconut oil or unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly 1 large egg, room temperature 1 tsp vanilla extract ½ cup (120mL) pure maple syrup ¾ cup (68g) grated carrots (about 1 smallish medium, peeled first!) Instructions In a medium bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and sal

Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

This is just Amazing!! Strawberry-rhubarb is my favourite pie ever, but having a whole pie around the house for 2 people is always a bit much (I mean, we eat it, but maybe shouldn’t). These, however, perfect! This is very tasty! The proportion of rhubarb and strawberries is perfect. I made a half recipe in an 8 x 8 inch pan. This Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp is perfectly juicy with just the right amount of sweetness, and the contrast in textures is spot on. This is a must try summer recipe!  Ingredients 1 cup (140g) all-purpose flour 3/4 cup (80g) old fashioned rolled oats 3/4 cup (166g) packed light-brown sugar 1/4 tsp salt 10 Tbsp (5 oz) unsalted butter, cold and diced into small pieces Seeds of one small vanilla bean I sell them! 1 1/2 lbs fresh strawberries , stemmed and sliced into three pieces (or two if small. About 4 1/2 cups after slicing) 1 lb fresh rhubarb , sliced into 1/2-inch pieces (about 4 cups) 3/4 cup (170g) granulated sugar 2 tsp orange zest 1/4 cup (2 oz) orange juice 2

This is such a gorgeous and perfect dessert for Mother’s Day. Lovely! Most definitely show stopping! That vibrant pink is perfect for Mother’s Day – love all the fresh raspberries in this one! o, so pretty and the color is stunning.  I love, love, LOVE this recipe! I’ve made it several times and it’s always a hit. I add a sprig of fresh mint to steep for 5 minutes before straining the fruit which adds a nice flavor. I also tried a blackberry/blueberry/basil version this week that was equally delicious! Awesome recipe! This tart was fantastic! It was everything I was hoping it would be. The curd was velvety, tart, and delicious.
