Teff Cashew Breakfast Bars with Cacao Nibs and Goji

Thursday, March 22, 2018

Teff, which is grown in Ethiopia and used to make injera (the sourdough flatbread), is a super tiny grain with a long list of health benefits. Along with being gluten-free, naturally high in minerals and super tasty, teff also helps you lose weight because of rich copper and high fiber content. Feel free to use amaranth instead if you can't find teff around you.

175 g Teff seeds (or amaranth seeds)
Sea salt
100 g Quick oat flakes
100 g Raisins
70 g Cashew nuts, roughly chopped
20 g Chia seed
Pinch of cinnamon
3 tbsp Coconut oil
3 EL Maple Syrup
100 g Cashew butter
2 Large ripe bananas, mashed

100 g Blueberry jam with 100% fruit
50 g Pistachios, a mix of chopped and whole
30 g Cacao nibs
40 g Goji berries

Soak teff seeds in a saucepan filled with 350ml salted water over night. Drain and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a 24x28x4cm baking pan with baking paper. Place drained teff seeds in a large mixing bowl together with quick oats, raisins, cashew nuts and chia seeds.
Melt coconut oil, maple syrup and cashew butter in a saucepan over low heat until well combined. Add in mashed bananas.
Pour the cashew butter-banana mixture into the teff mixture. Mix until well combined. Spread the thick mixture into the prepared pan. Smooth the surface and bake for 35-40 minutes until set. Remove and cool for 5 minutes.
Spread the blueberry jam onto the surface while still warm. Sprinkle the pistachios, cacao nibs and goji berries over. Gently press to adhere. Cool completely and cut into bars.
Store the rest, covered with a plastic film, in the fridge for about 1 week or several weeks in the freezer.

Chocolate Barley Grass Tart

Thursday, March 15, 2018

A luscious barley grass ganache and hazelnut einkorn chocolate tart crust is a match made in heaven. Deliciously creamy, refined-sugar free sweet and very easy to make too!

Chocolate Einkorn Pastry	Barley White Chocolate Filling
150 g Einkorn flour 50 g Hazelnut meal 30 g Lightly alkalized cocoa powder 60 g Erythritol granules 120 g Chilled butter, chopped 1 Large egg	200 g White chocolate, chopped 100 ml Coconut cream 2 tsp Coconut oil 2 tsp Barley grass powder

To make the chocolate pastry, place the einkorn flour, hazelnut meal, cocoa, erythriitol and butter in the bowl of a food processor and process until it resembles dry breadcrumbs. Add the egg and process until mixture just comes together. Turn onto a work surface and shape into a disc. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to rest.
Preheat oven to 200C/400F. Roll pastry out on a lightly floured surface to a disc large enough to fit a 22cm tart pan with removable base. Trim the edges and place in the fridge for 15 minutes to rest. Line with baking paper and fill with pastry weights or dried beans. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove the paper and pastry weights and bake for a further 10 minutes or until pastry is cooked through. Cool the pastry on a wire rack while prepare the filling.
Bring the cream to the boil in a small saucepan. Place the chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and stand for 3 minutes. Stir the chocolate mixture until smooth. Add in coconut oil and barley grass powder. Stir until smooth.
Pour the filling into the crust. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight until set. Dust with cacao powder if desired.
