Description

Fresh cherry and oatmeal bars. The perfect dessert or grab & go snack that is packed full of antioxidants and fiber! This recipe was developed for the Park Union Farmer’s Market.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Oatmeal Crumb:

  • 1 3/4 cup Oat Flour
  • 1 1/4 cup Old Fashioned Oats
  • 1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Oil
  • 1/2 cup Applesauce
  • 1/3 cup Maple Syrup
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tsp Lemon Zest

Cherry Filling:

  • 3 cups Pitted Cherries
  • 2 tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 2 tsp Cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease a 9×13 dark pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  2. In a small sauce pan, add the cherry filling ingredients, pitted cherries, maple syrup, lemon juice and cornstarch. Turn the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a low boil.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add the oat flour, oats, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Whisk together to combine.
  4. Next add the liquid ingredients, coconut oil, applesauce, maple syrup, vanilla extract and lemon zest.
  5. Using a spatula, stir the crumb mixture together.
  6. Set 3/4 cup of the mixture aside for the topping.
  7. Pour the remaining mixture into your prepared pan and spread evenly, pressing down with a spatula to ensure crumb crust cooks evenly.
  8. Par bake the crumb crust! Pop into the oven and bake for 10 minutes. This helps to get a slightly crispy bottom to your bars.
  9. After 10 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and spread the cherry filling evenly over top of the crumb crust. Top with the remaining filling by dropping small teaspoon size bits over top the cherry filling.
  10. Place the pan back into the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes.
  11. Remove from the oven and allow to cool fully before slicing. 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
  • 3–4 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!

  4. Pour the liquid mixture over the nuts and stir with a spatula to combine. Then pour the mixture into your prepared pan. Working quickly, press the mixture evenly into the pan. (It helps to place another piece of parchment paper over top to press evenly and avoid getting your hands sticky!)
  5. Place into the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes on a wire rack. Then place into the refridgerator to fully cool for 15 minutes.
  7. Just before the 15 minutes are up, make the chocolate for the bottom and deocrative topping.
  8. In a medium sized microwave safe bowl, add the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave on 25 second intervals, stirring in between each, until the chocolate is just melted.
  9. Remove the bars from the refrigerator and place parchment onto a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice the bars into 16 equal portions.
  10. Set a silpat out on a large sheet tray.
  11. Using an spatula or spoon, spread a thin layer of chocolate onto the bottom of each bar. Place onto the silpat. Continue with remaining bars.
  12. Using the remaining chocolate, drizzle chocolate over top of the bars for a decorative finish.
  13. Place the bars back into the refrigerator for the chocolate to fully harden. Bars will keep in an airtight container for 5-7 days. Enjoy!

Decadent truffles made with dates

Ingredients

Units Scale

Truffle Filling:

  • 1 1/2 cups Pitted Dates
  • 2 tbsp Brewed Coffee
  • 2 tsp Coconut Oil
  • 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder

Chocolate Coating & Toppings:

  • 1/2 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 tbsp Coconut Oil
  • Optional Toppings: Sea Salt, Chopped Pecans, Unsweetened Shredded Coconut

Instructions

  1. In a heat-proof bowl, add the dates and cover with hot water. Let the dates soak for 5 minutes to help them soften.
  2. Drain the dates then add them to the bowl of your food processor, along with the 2 tbsp brewed coffee.
  3. Process until the dates are broken down into small pieces.
  4. Next, add the coconut oil and vanilla extract. Process again until the date mixture becomes slightly smooth.
  5. Now, add the cocoa powder and process again! Stop and scrape down your bowl and then process again. This make take 2-4 minutes depending on your food processor. You are looking for a fairly smooth mixture.
  6. Now it’s time to roll our truffles! Prep a sheet tray with parchment paper and set out on your work surface. Also, grab a bowl and fill it with water to help keep the filling from sticking to your hands.
  7. Scoop out 1/2 tbsp of filling, wet your hands with the water and roll into ball shape, then place onto your parchment paper tray. Continue until all the truffle filling has been rolled.
  8. Next, pop the tray of truffle balls into the freezer to firm up for 15 minutes.
  9. Before you get the truffles out of the freezer, make the chocolate coating
  10. In a microwave safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave for 25 second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until the chocolate is melted.
  11. Get your toppings ready and set out next to the melted chocolate

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
  • 4–5 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!

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!

Equipment

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.
  2. Spray two small ramekins (6 or 8 oz) liberally with nonstick cooking spray and place onto a sheet tray. Set aside.
    Tip: Be sure to coat your ramekins well otherwise your lava cakes will get stuck.
  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!
 

Equipment

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.

Description

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!)

Description

Better than bakery scones, these homemade pumpkin scones save on fat and calories but not on flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
For the Scones
  • 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • 3/4 cup Oat Flour
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder
  • 3/4 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 2 1/2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice

  2. In a large bowl, add the whole wheat flour, oat flour, baking powder, salt and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk together to combine.

  4. Add the wet ingredients to the bowl: canned pumpkin, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir into dry ingredients with a spatula until the dough just comes together.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Cup Oat Flour or Old Fashioned Oats

  • 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt

  2. Set a nonstick sheet tray out for baking. Or line a sheet tray with parchment paper or silpat. Set aside.
