Ingredients

Units Scale

Cookie Wafer:

  • 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum
  • Pinch Salt
  • 3 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 4 tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 1 tbsp Water
  • 3/4 tsp Peppermint Extract

Chocolate Coating:

  • 1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips
  • 2 tsp Coconut Oil
  • 3/4 tsp Peppermint Extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Cover a sheet tray with a silpat or parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the almond flour, cocoa powder, Xanthan Gum and salt. Whisk to combine.
  3. Slice the butter into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients. Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut the butter into very small pieces into the almond flour mixture (smaller than pea size!). Then add the maple syrup, water and peppermint extract and stir together with a spatula.
  4. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap and place into the refrigerator for 15 minutes. This helps to make rolling the cookies out much easier!
  5. After 15 minutes, remove the dough from the refrigerator and place onto your work surface. Place a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap over the dough, then roll it out, this makes rolling much easier! Roll the dough out to about 1/8″ thick.
  6. Next, use a 2″ circle cutter, cut out the cookies and place onto your prepared sheet tray.
  7. Bake for 12-17 minutes. (Be sure to check the cookies at 12 minutes, you want them to be crispy but don’t allow them to burn!) Allow cookie wafers to cool completely.
  8. While the cookie wafers cool, make the chocolate coating. To a microwave safe bowl add the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil.
  9. Microwave on 25 second intervals, stirring in between each, until the chocolate is just melted. Then add in the peppermint extract and stir to combine.
  10. Take a chocolate wafer, dip into the melted chocolate coating, turning the wafer to coat the entire cookie. Let any excess chocolate drip off into the bowl and place the cookie onto your prepared sheet tray with a silpat or parchment paper.
  11. Continue with remaining wafers, coating each in chocolate.
  12. Place the coated cookies into the freezer for 10 minutes or refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
  13. Store the cookies in an airtight container in the freezer or refrigerator, however you like your thin mints! Enjoy!

Description

This healthy blackberry tart features a delicate olive oil crust, tart blackberries and fresh lemon for a show-stopper summertime treat!

 

Ingredients

Units Scale

Tart Dough:

  • 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 3/4 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 2 tsp Lemon Zest (zest from 1 medium-sized lemon
  • 1/3 cup Olive Oil
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 34 tbsp Ice Water (as needed to bring dough together)

Tart Filling:

  • 16 oz Blackberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 5 tsp Lemon Juice
  • 3 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tbsp All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tbsp Coarse Sugar (optional for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F
  2. Spray a tart pan or pie pan with nonstick spray, set aside.
  3. In the bowl of a food processor add all the dough ingredients except water. Pulse together for 10-15 seconds to mix the dough. If the dough seems very crumbly, add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time to bring the dough together. It should stay together when you pinch with your fingers.
  4. Grab you pie or tart pan and place your dough into the pan. Using your hands or the bottom of a measuring cup, press the dough evenly into the pan. Start at the center of the pan and work your way out to evenly distribute the dough around the entire pan and slightly up the edges, just as you would a pie crust. Refrigerate your dough while you mix up the filling.
  5. In a medium size bowl, add the blackberries, lemon juice, sugar and flour. Mix together gently with a spatula.
  6. Remove your tart crust from the refrigerator and pour the blackberry filling into the crust. Give the pan a gentle shake back and forth to evenly distribute the blackberries. Top the berries with 1 tablespoon of coarse sugar.
  7. Place the tart pan onto a sheet tray (this is a must if you do not want to spend the next day cleaning your oven!) and place into the oven.
  8. Bake at 400° F for 30 minutes.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool at least 10 minutes before digging in. Enjoy!

  14. Continue with the remaining truffles until they are all coated and topped!
  15. Pop the truffles into the fridge to let the chocolate set up and harden for at least 10 minutes.

Description

Black Bean Brownies are fudgy and rich with a hint of peanut butter, a delicious dessert!


Ingredients

Units Scale

Brownie Batter:

  • 1 Can, 15 oz Black Beans, Drained and Rinsed (no, or low-sodium if you can find it)
  • 1/2 cup Maple Syrup
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/4 tsp Espresso Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder
  • 1/4 cup Oat Flour
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips

Peanut Butter Swirl:

  • 1/2 cup PBFit Peanut Butter Powder
  • 45 tbsp Soy Milk (or milk of your preference)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350° F and spray an 8×8 inch pan with nonstick spray, then set aside.
  2. To the bowl of a food processor, add the black beans and maple syrup. Process until smooth.
  3. Next, add the two eggs and process again.
  4. Then, add the olive oil, espresso powder, salt, baking powder, cocoa powder and oat flour and process again to combine all ingredients.
  5. Next, remove the blade from the food processor, scrape down the batter and add the chocolate chips, stirring with a spatula.
  6. Then, pour the batter into your prepared pan and set aside while you make the peanut butter swirl.
  7. To a medium size bowl, add the PBFit and 5 tablespoons of milk. Whisk together. The consistency should be a little thinner than regular peanut butter. If it is too thick, add another tablespoon of milk.
  8. To make the swirl, drop dollops of the PBFit mixture onto the brownie batter, spreading them evenly over top of the batter. Then, using a butter knife, start from one corner and drag the knife through the batter and PB from one end of the pan to the other. Continue going back and forth until you reach the other side of the pan. Then, rotate the pan 90 degrees to create swirls in the other direction. Again, start from one corner and go up and back, snaking your way across the batter. Continue until you get the look that you like.
  9. Place the brownies into the oven and bake for 20 minutes until they are set.
  10. Allow brownies to cool for 15 minutes before digging in. Enjoy!

  5. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and the edges are slightly browned. Take care to not over cook! The blondies may look slightly underdone and that is okay.
  6. Allow blondies to cool for at least 10 minutes. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Better than Girl Scout Samoa cookies with just 4-ingredients! Plus, no added preservatives or artificial nonsense here!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Unsweetened, Shredded Coconut
  • 2 cups Pitted Dates
  • 1/2 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 tsp Coconut Oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400° F for toasting the coconut.
  2. In the bowl of a food processor add the dates and pulse for 10-20 seconds to break down the dates.
  3. Pour coconut onto a sheet tray with a silpat or parchment paper and place in the oven to toast for 3-5 minutes. (Take care to watch it as it will burn easily!) Remove from oven and allow to cook for 2 minutes.
  4. Add the toasted coconut to the dates in the food processor and pulse for 10-15 seconds. You will know the mixture is ready when it can be pinched together and stays together.
  5. Scoop out tablespoon size portions of the mixture and form into a round cookie shape, pressing it into shape with your fingers. Place onto your sheet tray with the silpat or parchment from toasting the coconut. Continue to form cookies with the remaining mixture.*To make authentic Girl Scout Samosas, take a toothpick or small spatula handle and make a hole in the center of each cookie. You may need to press and shape the cookies to retain their shape.
  6. Place the sheet tray into the freezer and freeze for 5 minutes to set the cookies shape.
  7. Meanwhile, place the chocolate chips and coconut oil into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on 25 second intervals until the chocolate is fully melted, stirring in between each interval.
  8. Next, remove the cookies from the freezer. Dip the bottom of each cookie into the melted chocolate to coat the bottom and return to your silpat or parchment covered sheet tray. Repeat for all cookies. Then, using a spoon, drizzle the remaining chocolate over the cookies in a stripe pattern for the full Samoa look.
  9. Place the cookies back into the freezer for at least 10 minutes so that the chocolate will set. Remove from the freezer and carefully peel the cookies off your silpat or parchment. Enjoy!

Notes

Keep the Samoas in an air tight container in the refrigerator.

Description

These chocolate lava cakes are a decadent treat, perfect for special occasions.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 2 oz Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Instant Espresso Powder (Optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425° F.

  3. To a large microwavable bowl, add the butter and chocolate chips. Microwave in 25 second intervals, stirring in between each set, until the chocolate and butter are melted. Tip: Chocolate burns easily! Be sure to only microwave on 25 second intervals and stir thoroughly in between to avoid burning your chocolate.
  4. Whisk the powdered sugar into the chocolate mixture. Next add the whole egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract and espresso powder if using. Whisk together until fully combined.
  5. Add the flour into the mixture and whisk until just combined.
  6. Divide the batter evenly into you two prepared ramekins. Tip: If using a kitchen scale to divide the batter, each ramekin should have about 116-118g or 4 1/8 oz.
  7. Bake the lava cakes at 425° F for 12-14 minutes until the edges are firm and the center is still soft. Remove from the oven and allow to stand for 1 minute.
  8. Run a knife around the edges of the ramekin to fully release the cakes. Then, invert the ramekins onto a plate.
  9. Top with a sprinkling of powdered sugar, berries or peanut butter drizzle if desired.
  10. Serve hot and enjoy!
 

Notes

The lava cake batter can be prepared ahead and kept in the refrigerator until ready to bake. When baking after being refrigerated, add 1-2 minutes to your cook time.

Refreshing, delicious and naturally sweet. Raspberry Mango Sorbet is the perfect summer treat!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz Frozen Mango
  • 16 oz Frozen Raspberries
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Lime Juice (Juice from 1 whole lime)
  • 3 tbsp Honey
  • 5 tbsp Warm Water

Instructions

  1. In the bowl of a food processor add the frozen fruit, lime juice, honey and 2 tablespoons warm water.
  2. Process for 1-2 minutes then stop and scrape down the bowl. At this point you will likely need to add a few more tablespoons of warm water to help break up the frozen fruit.
  3. Process again for another 1-2 minutes until the fruit mixture becomes smooth.
    Tip: A little patience is key with this recipe! Sometimes it is helpful to let the mixture thaw for a minute or two and then process again to get the smooth consistency of a sorbet.
  4. After the mixture becomes smooth and cohesive, put the sorbet into a freezer container and place into the freezer for at least 30 minutes (if you can wait that long!)

Watermelon Granita, a simple and refreshing dessert with just 3 ingredients!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups Watermelon, Seedless, cubed
  • 1 Lime
  • 1/4 cup Sugar

Instructions

  1. In the bowl of a food processor or blender, add the 5 cups of watermelon and blend on high until smooth.
  2. Zest the lime and add 1/2 tsp lime zest to the watermelon. Then, juice the entire lime (you should have about 2-3 tbsp) and add all the juice to the food processor.
  3. Add the sugar and blend the mixture again on high until smooth.
  4. Pour the mixture into a 9 x 13 pan and carefully place into the freezer. (Make sure you have a flat space in your freezer for the pan to sit on, otherwise you will have granita stuck to your freezer!)
  5. Freeze for 2 hours and then remove from freezer. Using a fork, scrape the mixture, creating little crystals. Pop your pan back into the freezer for another hour.
  6. Remove from the freezer and give the granita another rake with a fork to break up the entire mixture. Serve in a pretty glass or bowls, enjoy the slushy, refreshing crunch of watermelon granita!
