Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies

Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients

2 Cups Organic Almond Flour
1/4 Cup Organic Coconut Oil
1/4 Cup Organic Pure Maple Syrup
1/4 Teaspoon Pink Himalayan Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
2 Teaspoons Vanilla
1 Teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 Cup Chocolate Chips ( We Use Safeway Mini Chocolate Chips )

Mix all the ingredients in the same order and add the chocolate chips in last. Put the cookie dough into the oven set to 350 degrees for 10 – 12 minutes.

This dessert provides the body with many nutrients including vitamins and minerals. It is smart to give your body plant based foods because the body can easily digest and assimilate the nutrition from plants.

One serving of almonds equals one ounce, about 23 almonds or ¼ cup. It is a calorie-dense food but also nutrient-dense with the majority of its fat being monounsaturated. One ounce provides about 165 calories, 6 grams protein, 14 grams fat (80% monounsaturated, 15% polyunsaturated, and 5% saturated), 6 grams carbohydrate, and 3 grams fiber.

According to Harvard University, “Almonds have been suggested to reduce heart disease risk by lowering total and LDL cholesterol, and exerting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Plant sterols as found in almonds may interfere with the absorption of cholesterol and bile acid, and the high amount of unsaturated fat in almonds favors an improved lipid profile, especially when this food replaces other foods high in saturated fat and refined carbohydrate.

Almonds also contain phytonutrients that support the growth of beneficial gut microbes. Controlled trials have shown that general nut intake can decrease inflammation, promote healthy blood vessels, and reduce insulin resistance.”

People that are trying to lose weight would benefit from a plant based diet that includes fruits, grains, legumes, nuts, seeds and vegetables.

Organic Carob Zest Cake is a new healthy dessert recipe that Patricia and I decided to try. By substituting healthier alternatives, you can still enjoy delicious desserts that you have always liked. An old favorite of mine is chocolate cake.

Organic Carob Zest Cake Ingredients

Organic Carob Zest Cake
Dry Ingredients

260 Grams Or 2 Cups of Spelt Flour

50 Grams of Carob Powder

1 Teaspoon Baking Soda

1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder

1/4 Teaspoon Cardamom Powder

1/4 Teaspoon Cinnamon

1/4 Teaspoon Clove

1/4 Teaspoon Ginger

1/4 Teaspoon Organic Nutmeg

Pinch of Pink Himalayan Salt

Zest of An Organic Orange ( We Wash With Cold Water First )

Wet Ingredients

230 ML Or 1 Cup Almond Milk

60 ML Organic Olive Oil

150 Grams Or 1 and 1/4 Cups of Panela Or Other Healthy Sugar

1 Tablespoon Organic Apple Cider Vinegar

1 Teaspoon Vanilla

Organic Carob Zest Cake Directions

You can also divide your cake batter and put it in cup cake molds. We brush a little organic olive oil inside before pouring in the cake mix to prevent the cake from sticking to the mold. Above photo is an Apple Carrot Cake recipe.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Farenheit or 180 Celsius.

Mix all of your dry ingredients with a whisk until the flour, carob, salt, spices, baking soda and baking powder are all mixed. Take your wet ingredients and thoroughly mix. Just add the wet ingredients gradually into your dry ingredients and mix for a couple of minutes.

Coat the baking pan with some olive oil so the cake will not stick to the pan.

Pour the thoroughly mixed batter into your baking pan and cook for 40 minutes. When a toothpick comes out of the center clean, the cake is ready.

Carob is a flowering evergreen tree or shrub that grows in the Mediterranean region of Europe and in the Middle East. Carob is a healthier alternative to using cocoa. People can enjoy an approximation of their favorite cocoa-like flavors in sweet treats but eating considerably fewer calories, fat and processed sugar per serving. Carob powder is so much better for your health.

Patricia’s latest Organic Carob Zest Cake tastes great. You do not need to feel guilty about eating a favorite food by making this recipe and serving in your home.

  • For the base, chop the graham crackers and break them.
  • Add the margarine and mix.
  • Compact this mixture to the base of the Springform Container. We use a circular oven with a diameter of 8 inches or 20 centimeters.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 Degrees Fahrenheit Or 180 Celsius.
  • Make the Vegan Cheese filling by crushing all the specified ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Spread onto the base and bake at 350 Degrees Fahrenheit or 180 Celsius for about 50 minutes.

  • Now make a spice of pumpkin and cinnamon jam.
  • In a saucepan add the rest of the stewed pumpkin along with the agave syrup and the cinnamon powder.
  • Stir and heat over medium heat.
  • Keep heating without stopping stirring for a few minutes.
  • When you see that your pumpkin mixture separates and at the bottom there is no liquid, turn off the heat.
  • Add the water and corn starch.
  • Blend with mixer or VitaMix but do it with care that it does not burn your arm.
  • Turn the fire back on and heat until it boils.
  • Stir, turn off the heat and you are done. Transfer this jam to a separate container.
  • When you take the cake out of the oven, let it sit on your counter for at least 1 hour.
  • Then pour the jam on top and spread it well.
  • Put your cheesecake in the fridge at least 2 hours before eating.
  • When you take it out of the fridge, separate the edges with a knife so it does not crumble.
  • Cut a piece and enjoy.

¼ Cup Organic Apple Sauce
¼ Cup Fresh Squeezed Organic Orange Juice
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

***Prepare 3 Tablespoons Of Flaxseed Flour and Mix In 9 Cups Of Water. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes so it will gel.

Vegan Carrot Apple CakeWhen you need eggs in a recipe, substitute 1 Tablespoon of Flaxseed Flour and 3 Tablespoons of Water for 1 Egg. To get the most nutrients, Patricia says you should buy whole flax seeds and grind them into a flour with your Vitamix or Blendtec when you are making the cake.

Optional Ingredients
½ Cup Cranberries
½ Cup Walnuts

Vegan Carrot Apple Cake Directions

After your Flaxseed Flour has gelled, mix the other wet ingredients except your two cups of Shredded Carrots in a mixing bowl. Now take the dry ingredients and mix them in a separate bowl. Pour your dry ingredients over your wet ingredients. Now mix the two cups of Shredded Carrots and optional Cranberries and Walnuts and mix your cake ingredients thoroughly.

Now lightly oil with a kitchen brush your muffin pans with organic olive oil. My wife Patricia found the silicone muffin liners in the local Target store. She just told me that you can find these silicone liners in Home Goods, Marshalls, and Ross Stores. You do not need to oil the silicone liners as the cake batter will not stick to the silicone liner.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and cook your cake for 20-25 minutes. Put a toothpick in the middle of one of your cup cakes and see if the cake is cooked.

420 ml almond or other milk
1 tbsp apple vinegar
180 grams sugar ( We use Muscovado Or Panela Unrefined Sugar )
80 ml  olive oil

Cake Dry Ingredients
440 grams flour ( brown, spelt , red )
1 tbsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp clove
1/4 tsp cardamom

150 grams grated carrot
50 grams nuts chopped

Put the liquid ingredients in the dry and mix thoroughly. You should get a cake batter. If the batter is not thick enough, add a small amount of flour until you get a proper cake batter.

Last step is to put the grated carrot and chopped nuts into your cake batter and mix thoroughly. Grease your cake pan with a coating of olive oil so the cake batter does not stick to the pan. Bake your Organic Vegan Carrot Cake in the oven 40 minutes and see if a toothpick comes out clean. If the toothpick is a little wet, bake your cake a few minutes more.

Enjoy your Organic Vegan Carrot Cake. The recipe in the photo above came out perfect. It is moist but stays together.

Quinoa is not a grass, but rather a pseudo cereal botanically related to spinach and amaranth, and originated in the Andean region of northwestern South America.

Quinoa is a flowering plant in the amaranth family. It is a herbaceous annual plant grown as a crop primarily for its edible seeds; the seeds are rich in protein, dietary fiber, B vitamins, and dietary minerals in amounts greater than in many grains.

Quinoa has all the essential amino acids the body needs.

My wife Patricia likes to cook the Black, White, and Red Quinoa and add it to our oatmeal in the morning.

For dinner, Patricia will add some White Quinoa to her rice dishes to create a delicious meal.
