Mocha Brownies
August 10, 2022

Mocha Brownies

Mocha Brownies that are allergen-friendly, rich, moist & delicious! A hint of coffee makes for a lovely mocha cocoa flavor. A perfect treat to make for a friend or special occasion or if you’re just feeling for a chocolate-y dessert! For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour for gluten-free flour.

Ingredients

Yield: 18 brownies Time: 45 minutes

Mocha Brownies

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/3 + 1 tbs cup melted non-dairy butter
  • 1/2 + 1/3 cup non-dairy milk*
  • 1/2 cup coffee beans
  • 1/4 tsp coffee extract (optional)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup allergen-friendly chocolate chips

*You can supplement 1/2 cup of the milk for cold brew coffee

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF and prepare an 8-inch squash baking pan by lightly greasing it with a bit of oil.
  2. Begin by pouring the non-dairy milk into a small saucepan and then add the coffee beans. Set heat to low on the stove and allow it to simmer together for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. You should be able to smell the coffee come through but you don’t want to scorch the milk. Remove from heat once done and allow it to cool completely.
  4. Then, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and sugar. Create a well in the center.
  5. Drain the coffee-steeped milk into the center of the wet ingredients, and discard the coffee beans.
  6. Add the coffee extract and non-dairy butter to the bowl as well.
  7. Mix together the ingredients of a smooth, creamy batter is formed.
  8. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  9. Transfer the batter to the baking pan, place brownies in the oven and bake for 20-22 minutes. The top should be firm.
  10. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before cutting.

You may choose to dust with powdered sugar, try mixing a bit of cocoa powder in with the powdered sugar or try making an icing or serving with coffee ice cream.

Blueberry Banana Oat Bread
August 3, 2022

Blueberry Banana Oat Bread

Blueberry Banana Oat Bread, though not quite like our Hearty Banana Bread, this loaf is equally hearty & delicious! This recipe is simple and easy to make and is fully plant-based. You can substitute ingredients to make this loaf gluten-free with non-gluten alternatives or vegetarian by using dairy milk (though eggs are not needed).

Ingredients

Time: 65 minutes Yield: 9-10 slices

Blueberry Banana Oat Bread

  • 1/4 cup non-dairy butter (melted) or light olive oil
  • 2-3 ripe bananas
  • 2 Tbs + 2 tsp sugar or agave nectar
  • 1/4 cup non-dairy, unsweetened milk
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 Tbs flax meal (optional)
  • 1/2 Tbs chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats (or gluten-free oats)
  • 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350º F and prepare a loaf pan by lightly oiling and dusting with flour. Remove excess flour by knocking the back of the pan over the trash or sink.
  2. In a large bowl, peel & mash the bananas with a fork or whisk.
  3. Once mashed, mixed together well with the non-dairy butter or oil, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
  4. Then, mix in the baking powder, baking soda, salt, flax meal, and chia seeds. Stir together until thoroughly combined.
  5. Next, mix in the non-dairy milk and combine well.
  6. Then, gently fold in the oats with a rubber spatula until fully incorporated.
  7. Fold in the flour until the batter is fully formed. Be careful not to over-mix the batter.
  8. Lastly, fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed in the batter.
  9. Transfer the batter to the loaf pan and place it in the oven.
  10. Bake for 50-55 minutes. The top should be crisp and firm and test the inside by poking with a toothpick or butter knife. If it comes out clean, your bread is done.
  11. Allow it to cool before enjoying it!

Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or at room temperature for 3 days.

Creamy Lion’s Mane Pasta
July 27, 2022

Creamy Lion’s Mane Pasta

Creamy Lion’s Mane Pasta, a delicious and easy pasta dish with a homemade creamy tomato sauce. Lion’s mane mushrooms are known for their meaty-like texture and taste (akin to crab meat), and are perfect substitutes for plant-based dishes. Not only that, lion’s mane is low in calories but high in potassium, protein, iron, and vitamin-B, and is a great source of fiber.

Make this dish gluten-free by substituting for a gluten-free pasta, and you can make this dish vegetarian as well by substituting for dairy.

Ingredients

Serves: 4 Time: 45 minutes

Creamy Lion’s Mane Pasta

  • 2/3 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 Tbs olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup lite coconut milk or other unsweetened non-dairy milk/cream
  • 5-6 oz. lion’s mane mushrooms
  • 1/2-1 Tbs non-dairy butter
  • 1/2 lb. pasta

Directions

  1. Begin by preparing your vegetables. You can carefully pull apart the lion’s mane by hand to make smaller pieces.
  2. Next, in a medium pot, set heat to high and add the olive oil and halved tomatoes.
  3. Stir them for about 2 minutes and then set heat to medium-low and cover the pot with a lid.
  4. After the tomatoes have steamed some, add in the onion and garlic and cover the pot, allowing it to simmer for another 5 minutes.
  5. Next, add the seasonings, vegetable broth, and non-dairy milk to the pot and bring the heat back up to medium-high. Cover the pan with a lid and watch until it begins to bubble. About 3-4 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, begin boiling the water to cook your pasta according to its packaging.
  7. Once the tomato mix has bubbled slightly, remove from heat and transfer to a food processor or blender, or mix with an immersion blender. Blend the tomato mix until you get a sauce.
  8. Return the sauce to the pot on the stove, recover with lid, and reduce heat to low and allow it to continue to simmer. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
  9. Then, in a medium skillet, heat the non-dairy butter on high.
  10. Once hot, begin sautéeing the lion’s mane. Allow them to cook on each side for a minute or two before flipping and continue cooking until they’re lightly browned on each side. Then remove from heat and add to the tomato sauce.
  11. Drain your pasta once it has fully cooked.
  12. Combine the pasta with the sauce, serve and enjoy!
