These pumpkin scones, lightly scented with nutmeg, with freshly milled emmer flour and dates are perfect for morning tea. They are not overly sweet and have a nice light and crumbly texture. They also make great lunch-box fillers.
Emmer wheat is one of the three hulled wheats (einkorn, spelt and emmer) known in Italy as farro. Sometimes called “Pharaoh’s Wheat.” Like all the ancient and heirloom wheats, they do contain gluten. However, the structure of this ancient wheat’s gluten is different from that of modern types, so it’s often digestible by people with gluten sensitivity or wheat allergies!

  • 200 g Emmer berries, milled into flour
  • 50 g Almond meal
  • 2 tbsp Coconut sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Ground nutmeg
  • 10 g Baking powder
  • 3 g Baking soda
  • 1/3 tsp Sea salt
  • 70 g Cold butter, cut into small cubes
  • 160 g Homemade pumpkin puree
  • 30 ml Buttermilk plus extra, for brushing
  • 50 g Dates, chopped
  • Pepita for topping, optional
  1. Preheat oven to 200C/400F. In a bowl, whisk together freshly milled emmer, almond meal, coconut sugar, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  2. Using fingertips, rub butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add in chopped dates and stir to combine.
  3. Make a well in centre of mixture. Add pumpkin and buttermilk. Stir until a sticky dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently until just smooth. Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick round and cut into 8 wedges.
  4. Place scones on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with buttermilk. Sprinkle each scone with raw pumpkin seeds if you like. Bake for about 15-18 minutes or until golden and hollow when tapped on top. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Thursday, August 10, 2017

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2017 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




http://schneiderchen.de | © 2017 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com


A low carb bread, adapted from here and here, that looks and tastes like the real sandwich bread! You will not believe this is gluten/dairy/grain free bread and it has a crispy crust with a soft, tender crumb. The miracle in this low carb bread recipe lies in the use of psyllium powder, and there's no substitute for it. Spread some homemade onion marmalade over and enjoy! Store the rest in your fridge or freezer.

  • 280 g Pepita, finely ground
  • 60g Flaxseed, ground
  • 20 g Chia seeds
  • 100 g Psyllium powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp Sea salt
  • 230 g Egg whites
  • 85 g White balsamic vinegar
  • 400 ml Boiling water
  1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Line an 8x4-inch loaf pan. Place ground pepita, flaxseed, chia, psyllium powder, baking powder and sea salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk everything until well combined.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together egg whites and white balsamic vinegar. Add into the dry mixture and mix at high speed with a hand-held mixer until just combined, about 15 seconds. Gradually add in hot water and mix quickly at medium-high until just incorporated, about 20 seconds. Do not over mix the ingredients or the dough will become gummy.
  3. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for about 80 minutes. Cool the bread in the pan for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy it with some homemade onion marmalade.

Refined Sugar Free Banana Poppy Muffins

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2017 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




http://schneiderchen.de | © 2017 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com

Start your day the healthy way with these refined sugar-free banana and poppy muffins which you can freeze and defrost when needed.
Erythritol looks like sugar and tastes like sugar. It is 70% as sweet as sugar, yet it is virtually non-caloric, does not affect blood sugar, and does not cause tooth decay. Coconut flour, made from ground dried, defatted coconut meat, is high in fiber and low in sugar and digestible carbohydrates.

  • 2 Very ripe bananas
  • 100 g Erythritol granules
  • 50 g Coconut oil, melted
  • 150 ml Kefir, room-temperature
  • 150 g Spelt pastry flour
  • 40 g Coconut flour
  • 5 g Baking powder
  • 5 g Baking soda
  • 1/3 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon powder
  • 30 g Poppy
  • Walnut halves
  1. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F. Grease 6 maxi muffin cups and set aside.
  2. Mash the bananas and erythritol until smooth. Add in coconut oil and kefir. Stir until well combined.
  3. Whisk together the spelt, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add the banana mixture into the dry mixture until just incorporated. Now fold in poppy.
  4. Divide the batter into the muffin cups and top with walnut halves. Bake in the hot oven for about 25-28 minutes until nicely golden brown and cooked when tested.

Vegan Kaniwa Salad with White Asparagus

Thursday, June 22, 2017

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2017 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




http://schneiderchen.de | © 2017 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com

Kaniwa pairs perfectly with white asparagus and pomegranate seeds for this deliciously nutty and light salad that is great for spring and summer! Kaniwa does not need to be rinsed before cooking because kaniwa is free from saponins, the soapy-flavoured chemicals in quinoa.

SaladVinaigrette
  • 150 g Kaniwa
  • 750 g White asparagus, trimmed and cut into 3 pieces
  • 100 g Lamb’s lettuce (aka mâche or corn salad)
  • 1 Pomegranate, deseeded
  • 30 ml White balsamic vinegar
  • 60 ml Olive oil
  • 1/2 tbsp Maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  1. Combine all the ingredients for the dressing in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake vigorously until emulsified, about 10 seconds. Refrigerate while you prepare the salad.
  2. Fill a medium saucepan with 300 ml water and add in kaniwa. Bring it to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes until water has been absorbed and kaniwa is al dente.
  3. Trim the woody ends off and gently peel the outer skin of the asparagus stalks off with a vegetable peeler. Cut into 3 pieces. Bring a large skillet of water to a gentle boil. Add some salt. Blanch the white asparagus until tender but still crisp, about 5-8 minutes. Plunge into a bowl of iced water to stop them cooking. Remove and drain well.
  4. In a large bowl, toss together the kaniwa, white asparagus and pomegranate seeds with the prepared vinaigrette until coated. Divide the lamb's lettuce into 2 serving plates. Spoon the white asparagus salad over and serve.
