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.

  10. Place the pan back into the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes.

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!

  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
  12. Pull the tray of truffle balls out of the freezer.
  13. Dip each truffle ball into the melted chocolate and using a fork, roll the chocolate around and then let some of the chocolate drip off before popping back onto the parchment paper. While the chocolate is still melty, add a sprinkle of your topping of choice.
  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.
  16. Enjoy these little bites of chocolate goodness!

  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!

  • 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
  • 1 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Cardamom
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Cloves
  • 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 tbsp Molasses

  6. Using your hands or a bench scraper, form the dough into two logs that are about 7-inches long and 3-inches wide. Use your hands shape the dough so it is an even thickness.
  7. Place the sheet tray into the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes until the logs are firm to the touch.
  8. Move the biscotti logs onto a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes.
  9. After 15 minutes, slice the logs into biscotti! Take a sharp knife and slice the biscotti logs width-wise into 3/4-inch slices.
  10. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 F and bake for 6 minutes. Then, remove the tray from the oven and use a spatula to turn each biscotti over to cook on the other side. Place back into the oven and bake for another 6 minutes.
  11. Remove the biscotti to a wire rack and allow to cool fully. The biscotti will continue to harden as they cool.
  12. Dip into hot cocoa, coffee or tea and enjoy!

Description

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

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!)
