Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola Bites

 A healthier snack or breakfast treat that is wholesome and perfectly salty-sweet.

 

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups packed dried BD Bing Cherries

1/2 cup BD Honey Roasted Chocolate Peanut Butter

1/2 cup BD rolled oats (GF for gluten-free eaters)

Instructions

Add dried Bing Cherries to a food processor and pulse until only small bits remain - it will likely clump into a ball - that’s what you want. If any big pieces remain, use a knife or spatula to push them down, then turn the machine back on to pulse.

Add honey roasted chocolate peanut butter and oats and pulse a few more times until incorporated, stirring and scraping down sides as needed. If you prefer denser bars, add more oats.

Scoop out 1 Tbsp amounts and roll into a ball and place on a baking sheet or plate. Transfer to freezer to set.

If making bars, transfer to a parchment paper lined 8 x 8 pan.  Slice into 8-10 bars and store in the fridge or freezer to keep fresh.

Will keep in the fridge for several weeks and in the freezer for up to a couple of months or more.

Whole Wheat Maple Cranberry Scones

Whole-Wheat Maple-Cranberry Scones

Maple syrup adds sweetness, cranberries bring welcome tartness, and whole-wheat flour lends a nutty flavor and a pleasing heartiness to these maple cranberry scones.

For the Scones:

Ingredients 1 1/4 cups BD whole-wheat flour

1 1/4 cups BD all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon BD baking powder

1/2 teaspoon table salt

1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

1/2 cup BD Cardamom maple syrup

1/3 heavy cream

1 cup BD dried cranberries

Preheat your oven to 425° and set a rack to the middle position.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, and salt until combined. Using a pastry cutter or fork, work in the butter until it forms pea-sized bits; then use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour, creating a blend of powder, flakes, and some remaining small lumps of butter. Pour in the syrup and 1/3 cup of cream, and stir well with a fork. If needed, add another tablespoon or two of milk to form a dough. Use a spatula to fold in the cranberries. Turn the dough out onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, flatten to about 1 ½ to 2 inches thick, press a glass into them to give them a circle shape. Depending on glass size, makes about 6

Bake until puffed and golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes.

Maple, Cinnamon and Date Oatmeal Scone

Maple Cinnamon and Date Oatmeal Scone

Recipe from Vivian Lee (Instagram @VivaYoungHealth))

Ingredients:

Dry

2⁄3 cup BD provisions whole wheat flour

1⁄3 oat flour – Made from BD Provisions oats*

3⁄4 cup BD Provisions rolled oats

1⁄2 tsp baking powder

1⁄2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp BD Provisions ground cinnamon

Wet

3⁄4 cup plant milk (I used unsweetened soy milk.)

1 T ground BD Provisions flax** + 3 Tbsp water (This is equivalent to

one “egg”.)

1 T BD Provisions maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla extract

Add-ins:

1⁄2 cup BD Provisions dates, thinly chopped

(Optional) 1⁄4 cup BD Provisions non-dairy chocolate chips

Notes:

* You can easily create oat flour at home by blending rolled oats in a blender, food

processor, or coffee grinder.

** Ground flax seeds are a great substitute for conventional eggs. The ratio of ground

flax to water is 1:3. One tablespoon of ground flax to three tablespoons of water

substitutes for one egg.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. First, create the flax egg by combining the ground flax and water in a

small bowl. Stir and set aside to let it congeal.

3. Combine the dry ingredients in a medium or large mixing bowl and

mix evenly with a wooden spoon.

  4. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients and whisk

evenly.

5. Fold in the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix. Notice

whether the mixture is too wet or dry. If wet, add 1⁄4 cup oats at a time.

If too dry, add 1 tablespoon of water or non-dairy milk at a time.

6. Using slightly wet hands, roll mixture into six balls setting them on the

baking sheet.

7. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Check that the surface is evenly browned.

8. Allow to cool for a few minutes.

9. Serve with an optional glaze of maple syrup.

Notes:

* You can also bake these in an oven toaster.
