Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies

 

Makes: 18

Calories per serve: 126cal

Time to make: 1 hour 30 mins

(GF) DF V

 

INGREDIENTS

For the chocolate kisses:

• 1/2 cup (78g) dairy-free chocolate chips

For the cookies:

• 1/2 cup (135g) natural creamy peanut butter

• 1/4 cup (60g) DF spread

• 1/3 cup (60g) brown sugar

• 1 tablespoon DF coconut/soy/almond milk

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 3/4 cup (40g) whole wheat flour (GF baking flour)

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar (for coating)

 

DIRECTIONS

  1. Line a cookie sheet with baking paper. 
  2. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave (about two minutes); the chocolate should be smooth, but not runny. Spoon melted chocolate into a small ziplock freezer bag. Snip the corner to make a tiny opening (or use an icing tip, if you have one) and pipe out 18 chocolate kisses. Set aside on the counter or in the fridge to cool.
  3. Heat the oven to 190°C. 
  4. Beat the peanut butter and spread in a large bowl until well blended. Add the brown sugar and beat again. Add milk and vanilla and beat well.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually beat this into the peanut butter mixture.
  6. Shape the dough into one-inch balls. Lightly roll each ball in brown sugar and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  7. Bake eight to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately press a chocolate kiss into the centre of each cookie, then transfer the cookies to a rack to cool. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container.

• 2 large very ripe bananas

• 1 cup grated parsnip (about 150g or 2 parsnips)

• 4 eggs

• 1/3 cup (67g) coconut oil

• 2 tablespoons full-fat coconut milk

• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 2 tablespoons chia seeds stirred into 1 cup of water 

and soaked for 10 minutes.

• 1/2 cup (65g) coconut flour (or flour of your choice)

• 1/4 cup (60g) buckwheat flour, sifted.

• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder.

• Pinch sea salt.

To garnish (optional)

• 1 small thin parsnip, halved lengthways*

• buckwheat groats, or shredded coconut*

 

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 180ºC/350ºF/Gas Mark 4. Grease and line a 23 x 13 cm loaf tin with baking paper.
  2. Place the bananas, grated parsnip, eggs, coconut oil, coconut milk, spices and vanilla into a food processor and process until smooth. Add the chia seed “goo” and pulse to combine. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and fold through flours, baking powder and a generous pinch of sea salt until just combined.
  3. Transfer to the prepared loaf tin and top with your choice of garnishes. Bake for 1 hour or until cooked – a skewer inserted in the middle should come out clean. Check after 45 minutes, and if the top is browning too quickly, cover with foil. Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Slice and serve. Store the cooled bread in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze (place in individual slices between baking paper) for up to 3 months.

Feijoa Ice Cream

 

Serves: 4
Calories per serve: 243cal
Time to make: 10 mins 8 hours freeze time

 

INGREDIENTS

  • feijoas 500g scooped out flesh (from about 1kg whole feijoas)
  • bananas 2 medium-sized ripe, peeled and chopped
  • cream or natural yoghurt ½ cup
  • feijoa 1 whole, stem removed
  • fresh mint about 20 leaves

DIRECTIONS

  1. Line a large tray (that will fit in your freezer) with baking paper and arrange feijoas and banana on top in a single layer. Cover with cling film and freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight until frozen hard.
  2. Scoop ice-cream into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Or if not eating straight away, scoop into a container and return to freezer – it’s best eaten within 4 hours of freezing before it starts to become too hard/icy in texture.
  3. Chop the whole feijoa (including the green skin) and add to the food processor, along with cream or yoghurt and mint leaves. Blitz everything together until smooth and well combined, scraping down the sides of the food processor a few times to make sure everything gets blitzed. Add a little more cream/yoghurt as necessary, until you have achieved an ice-cream consistency. When ready to make and serve the ice-cream, place frozen feijoas and bananas in the bowl of a large food processor (note: if the fruit is frozen rock-hard, leave it to thaw for about 5 minutes before blitzing; this will make it easier on the food processor!).

Freezer Biscuits

 

Serves: 30 biscuits
Calories per serve: 140cal approx (depends on flavour choices)
Time to make: 30 mins

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 200g pack butter, softened
  • 200g soft brown sugar
  • 2 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 200g self-raising flour
  • 140g oats

YOUR CHOICE OF FLAVOURS

  • 50g chopped nuts such as pecan, hazelnuts or almonds
  • 50g desiccated coconut
  • 50g raisin, or mixed fruit

DIRECTIONS

  1. When the butter is really soft, tip it into a bowl along with the sugar. Using an electric hand whisk or exercising some arm muscle, beat together until the sugar is mixed through. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, if you like. Stir in the flour and oats. The mixture will be quite stiff at this point. Now decide what else you would like to add – any or all of the flavours are delicious – and stir through.
  2. Tear off an A4-size sheet of greaseproof paper. Pile up half the mixture in the middle of the sheet, then use a spoon to thickly spread the mixture along the centre of the paper. Pull over one edge of paper and roll up until you get a tight cylinder. If you have problems getting it smooth, then roll as you would a rolling pin along a kitchen surface. You’ll need it to be about the width of a teacup. When it is tightly wrapped, twist up the ends and then place in the freezer. Can be frozen for up to 3 months.
  3. To cook, heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 and unwrap the frozen biscuit mix. Using a sharp knife, cut off a disk about ½cm wide. If you have difficulty slicing through, dip the knife into a cup of hot water. Cut off as many biscuits as you need, then pop the mix back into the freezer for another time. Place on a baking sheet, spacing them widely apart as the mixture will spread when cooking, then cook for 15 mins until the tops are golden brown. Leave to cool for at least 5 mins before eating.

Peanut Butter Squares

Serves: 20
Calories per serve: 100cal
Time to make: 60 mins
GF V

INGREDIENTS

Chocolate Base:

  • 3/4 cup (75 g) almond meal
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp cacao powder
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/8 tsp vanilla extract
  • sea salt, to taste

Peanut Butter Layer:

  • 1/2 cup (130 g) peanut butter
  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • sea salt, to taste

Chocolate Topping:

  • 1/4 cup (30 g) cacao powder
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • sea salt, to taste

DIRECTIONS

  1. Line a square baking pan with parchment or wax paper.
  2. Combine all ingredients for the base in a medium bowl. Mix well until a dough is formed. If you need to add a small amount of maple syrup to make it less dry, you can do so.
  3. Place the dough into the pan, pressing down lightly so it is firm – you want the base to be solid so use your hands to press down evenly.
  4. Place in freezer to set while you make the peanut butter filling.
  5. Rinse the bowl, and now combine all of the peanut butter filling ingredients into the bowl. Once combined and creamy, pour on top of the chocolate base and return the pan to the freezer.
  6. Clean the same bowl if you wish, and then add the chocolate topping ingredients together. Mix well until all clumps are gone. You should have a silky chocolatey sauce.
  7. Pour it over the peanut butter layer, add more salt to the top and then place pan back into the freezer for 30 minutes – 1 hour.
  8. When ready to serve, cut into 20 small squares. Store in the freezer for up to 5 days (if they last that long).

NOTE: Can use Cocoa instead of Cacao
