Freekeh Black Quinoa Cookies

Thursday, July 17, 2014

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




These delicate buttery wholegrain cookies, made with ground green spelt berries, black quinoa, butter and egg, sweetened with pure stevia extract, are delicious plain, dipped in dark chocolate, or sandwiched with flavoured cream.
Freekeh (also known as Grünkern in Germany) is roasted green spelt berries. The spelt is harvested when it is still young and green. It is then slow roasted over coals in the hulls, and is then de-hulled resulting in a beautiful green spelt berry.

Einkorn Protein Banana Bread

Thursday, July 03, 2014

Made with bananas (both fresh and dehydrated), whey isolate, and egg whites, this king of quick bread is packed with the protein and deliciousness of whole grain flour milled fresh from einkorn wheat berries. You can also bake this bread with other whole grain flour, for example, kamut, emmer or spelt.
Einkorn (from German Einkorn, literally "single grain") is considered to be the oldest form of cultivated wheat, dating back over 10,000 years, and completely unhybridized.
This glorious ancient grain is unique in flavour and nutritional benefits. Baked goods made with einkorn have a nice yellowish colour, which is due to its high content of lutein, a yellow pigment that has been associated with eye health and beta-carotene, an antioxidant that plays an essential role in bone growth, skin health and strengthening the immune system.
Einkorn, while not gluten-free, produces a natural gluten that is considered “gluten-safe” for some people with gluten sensitivity.

Einkorn Protein Banana Bread

adapted from Muscle Food
  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a 25-30cm loaf pan with parchment.
  2. Sieve freshly ground einkorn flour, protein isolate, baking powder, cinnamon powder and salt.
  3. Stir together the mashed bananas, egg whites and water in another bowl, then pour into the dry mixture.
  4. Mix well and pour into the prepared loaf pan. Lightly press some dehydrated banana chips into the batter. Bake in the middle of hot oven for about 50 minutes. Insert a skewer into the centre, if it comes out clean, the bread is ready.

Peach Strawberry Popsicles

Tuesday, June 17, 2014

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




These naturally sweetened popsicles are bright, refreshing and healthy. Fresh, sweet, juicy peaches and strawberries are perfect together for a simple and tasty summer treat. I didn't add additional sweetener other than a very ripe banana, you can of course use sugar, syrup or honey instead. Peaches can also be replaced with mango, apricot, or pineapple or a mix of all.

  • 4 Ripe peaches, peeled, pitted and chopped
  • 2 tsp Lime juice
  • 1 Very ripe banana
  • 3 Strawberries, diced
  1. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Gently lower the ripe peaches into the boiling water. Leave it there for 30 seconds or until the skin splits. Remove the peaches with a slotted spoon and plunge them into an ice water bath. After 10 seconds or so, remove them and peel.
  2. Roughly chop the peaches and place them in a blender together with lime juice, and banana. Process until smooth.
  3. Pour half portion into the 8 ice moulds, add in diced strawberries and top with the remaining. Insert sticks, then freeze at least 4 hours or until firm.
