Plant Based Protein Packed Berry Muffins

Sponsored by Sacred Sun Cooperative

A breakfast blessing or post workout treat! These muffins satisfy your taste for something sweet and fuels your body mineral needs.

Farm fresh, nutrient packed ingredients give these muffins all the strength they need! The story behind the flour used in this recipe is that Sacred Sun Co-op grew winter peas right next to the rye at their farm. When it was time to harvest the rye, the crop of peas somehow got mixed in. Rye is an ancient grain filled with fiber, iron, potassium and more. Combined with the protein content found in peas, this is truly a unique farm fresh offering.

Servings: 6 medium size muffins

Cook Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

2 cups Prye flour from Sacred Sun Cooperative (or your flour of choice)

1/2 cup Hemp seeds

1/2 cup gluten free rolled oats

3/4 Coconut brown sugar

2 tbsp Sea moss gel

1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon

1 1/2 tsp Salt

2 tsp Baking Powder

1 1/2 cups Coconut milk

2 tbsp Maple syrup

2 cups fresh Berries (I used a cup each of blueberries and blackberries)

Recipe

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together; flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and a half cup of brown sugar. (Sifting helps combine ingredients, remove any impurities, and breakdown any clumps).
  3. Grind hemp seeds to a fine meal with a blender or food processor. Add to dry ingredients and mix. 
  4. Make a well in the middle and add in all the wet ingredients except the melted coconut oil. Combine slowly but thoroughly. As everything begins to come together, add in the coconut oil and mix together. Fold in your rinsed berries slowly. Let mixture rest while we prepare the baking sheet.
  5. Lightly oil a muffin tray. With your fingers, make sure all of the surface area is covered. Next, sprinkle a few teaspoons of flour over the muffin tray.
  6. In a medium bowl, mix together the leftover brown sugar with the rolled oats, and 2 tbsp of coconut oil.
  7. Pour your batter in to the muffin tray. Be sure to fill the tray no more than half way high with batter. Top the muffins with the sugar and oat mixture. Place in the center of your oven and bake for 25 minutes.
  8. Check the bread at 25 minutes to see if it has cooked all the way thru to the center. Use a toothpick or a clean small knife to see if any batter sticks to it when you poke it in the center. Keep it in the oven an extra 4 – 8 minutes if it needs to cook through any longer.
  9. When done, let the muffins cool in the tray for at least 7 minutes. Then pop them out on to a cooling rack and let them cool another 10 minutes till serving.

Plant Based French Toast with a Twist!

Spiced Plant-Based French Toast with Raspberry Compote

Today we bring you a refreshing take on a classic breakfast dish, french toast. Made with fresh milled, local bread from two different bakeries here in town. One loaf is a simple whole wheat, similar to the regular store bough loaves, while the other is loaded with dried fruit and walnuts. Freshly ground spices add another dimension to this recipes batter. With the vibrant raspberry compote to top it all off. Try this recipe as another special brunch option for your loved ones.

Servings: 3 – 4

Cook time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

8 – 10 slices of your favorite fresh baked bread (I bought mine from the local bakery and it was stuffed with goodness; hard red wheat, apricots, apples, golden raisins, walnuts, and sea salt)

3/4 bottle of Just egg

2 – 4 cups fresh raspberries

1 tsp whole allspice

1 tsp whole star anise

1/2 tsp whole clove buds

2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt

Maple syrup (to taste)

2 tbsp powdered sugar (optional)

Recipe

  1. Rinse your berries and add to a medium-small pot with a half cup of water. Bring to a boil, then turn heat to medium-low. Use a wooden or rubber spatula to prevent any berries from sticking or burning at the bottom of the pot.
  2. Add whole spices to mortar & pestle or a spice grinder. Grind till they come in to a fine powder form.
  3. Add Just egg to a wide bowl. Add in spices, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together till evenly mixed.
  4. Using a serrated knife, slice your loaf of bread in to half inch thick slices. Dip bread slices in to batter mixture, then flip and coat the other side. Place on to a plate till all slices have been battered.
  5. Heat a medium-large skillet on medium-high heat for a couple of minutes. Add two slices of bread at a time. Cook on each side for 3 – 5 minutes, on medium heat. Medium light brown coloring on the slices lets us know the batter is getting cooked all the way through; this the perfect time to take them off the heat!
  6. Check your compote. It should be thick, not runny. Feel free to add a couple tablespoons of maple syrup, a splash of orange juice, and a pinch of salt to your compote. Though this is all optional and not required, this brightens the flavors of the berries.
  7. Plate your french toast with all the slices cut in half, topped with a few dollops of the fresh berry compote, and powdered sugar sprinkle for the classic look. Enjoy with a drizzle of maple syrup and enjoy!

This recipe is so simple yet rich in flavor! In 30 minutes or less, prepare this heart warming breakfast for your family or significant other.

Plant-Based Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Moist Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Made from Plant Based Ingredients

The perfect Sunday afternoon treat! This chocolate chip banana bread is completely indulgent without the unhealthy ingredients. Use your overripe bananas to give your loaf that fresh sweetness. Paired with coconut oil, your bread will come out soft and moist. I love to prepare mine at the beginning of the week, pouring the batter in to muffin molds. A great breakfast muffin for your on the go needs, or try it as a loaf and share with your loved ones!

Servings: 1 Medium Sized Loaf

Cook time: 1 hour

Ingredients

1.5 Cups Spelt flour (Can replace with any GF flour)

1/3 cup coconut brown sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ground clove

3/4 cup coconut milk

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup + 2 TBS melted coconut oil

1 TBS vanilla water (optional)

5 very ripe bananas

1/2 cup plant based chocolate chips

Recipe

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees with convection on.
  2. Add a teaspoon of oil to your baking pan and spread evenly to all sides. Dust with flour. This method is best for creating a non stick surface with any type of pan. I used a 4 x 8 glass loaf dish.

3. Whisk dry ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl.

4. In a separate smaller bowl, mix the maple syrup with coconut milk.

5. Peel and mash 4 bananas in another small bowl, using the whisk you used to mix the dry ingredients. Save the fifth banana to top your bread with before it goes in the oven.

6. Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture and pour in your liquids. Combine together with a spatula or wooden spoon till almost smooth.

7. Now add the coconut oil while the batter is in mid mix, as shown in the image below. Mix everything till smooth. Do not over mix, this will make the bread tighter and not as soft.

8. Fold in bananas and chocolate chips.

9. Pour in to baking pan and and place in oven for 25 – 35 minutes. The timeframe is wide because the convection option plays an important role. If your oven doesn’t have that option, that’s perfectly fine. You will need to check your bread every 5 minutes after 25 minutes or so. When checking to see if baked goods are finished baking in the oven, grab a small knife and stick it down the center of the bread. If you pull it out and there is a bit of wet batter on the knife, add another 5 minutes to your timer and check again then.

Before the oven

10. I personally made a double batch with this recipe. One loaf had chunky peanut butter marbled in to the top while the other had a sliced banana and extra chocolate chips for the topping. Get creative here! This will give your bread an interesting and flavorful crust.

11. When your bread is finished, let it rest till cooled. I know it may be tempting, but try your best not to cut in to it till it’s completely cooled. This will help the bread keep its fluff and softness. Store in your fridge for up to 7 days.

Pro Tip #1

I experimented with date paste instead of the granulated coconut brown sugar in my recipe testing. I do not recommend using date paste because it does not incorporate the flavor and sweetness the way granulated coconut brown sugar does. Though you are getting sweetness from the maple mixed in to the milk and from the ripe bananas, the date paste was not prominent at all. So, stick to the coco brown.

Pro Tip #2

I’ve made this recipe dozens of times with gluten free flour and it works just the same! Sub the spelt flour for your favorite gluten free mixture and enjoy.
