Vegan Banana-Carrot Pulp Muffin Tops

 


Are you looking for a way to use up all that carrot pulp (besides composting) that comes as a result of juicing? Here is a delightful recipe for a soft gliten-free cookie/muffin top that is sweet and piquant and pretty healthy (as cookies go).  

BEWARE: You must do the Flax Seed Egg Replacer about an hour in advance of the rest of the recipe.


Ingredients:
  • 3 C. organic Carrot Pulp    
  •  3 C. organic Quick Oats/Oat Flour Mix (I just throw the Oatmeal in the Vitamix) (I have also used part Quinoa flour-- also whirred up in my Vitamix)
  •  1 T. Arrowroot Powder
  • 2 tsp. Celtic Sea Salt
  • 1  1/2 C. organic Cane Sugar (or similar sweetener)
  • 2 tsp. Baking Soda
  • 1 T. Cinnamon and or Pumpkin Spice
  • 1 C. organic Thompson Raisins
  • 1/2 bag frozen Cranberries
  • 3 C. Mashed Bananas AND oil to top up (such as Olive Oil) OR Aquafaba
  • 6 T. Flaxseed Egg-Replacer (*See recipe below)

The Recipe: Flaxseed Egg-Substitute

  • 1/2 cup flaxseed
  • 1 1/2 cup water

Directions:

  1. Grind flaxseed to a fine powder in an electric coffee grinder.
  2. Mix flaxseed and water in blender and blend on high for 2 minutes.
  3. Chill for 1 hour to set up. It can be used now, but it has a more egg-like consistency if allowed to chill.
  4. Keep refrigerated up to 3 days
2. Use a wooden spoon to combine the Carrot Pulp, Oats/Oat Flour Mix, Arrowroot powder, Sugar, Celtic Sea Salt, Baking Soda and Cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
3. Add in Thompson Raisins and stir until consistent texture
4. Mash about 5 ripe bananas and add in oil until the combo makes 3 Cups (or whirr the bananas in the blender and then add in oil)
5. Make a hole in the dry ingredients and add in the banana-oil  and  flaxseed egg replacer.  Add in spices. Stir.
6. Add in fresh cranberries.
7. Mound in cookie shapes on the pan.  Bake for about 10-20 minutes (depends on oven??)  Take out just before they look ready.  Cool on racks.

The Lemon-Garlic Mixture Recipe that Chris Wark (Chris Beat Cancer) Recommends

My husband and I are both over 70, and while we have the odd age-expected ache or pain or fallen hair or swollen ankles or whatever, we have avoided many of the BIG Diseases: Heart Disease, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Arthritis, Cancer-- but we have had family with these diseases and there is a good chance that we will have something like this hit at some time.  That is the way of the world these days, is it not? So, to be proactive and preventative, we believe that "Food is Our Medicine" and we adhere to a Whole Food/Plant-Based way of eating as much as possible.  We also watch a lot of those health seminars that mesh with our way of thinking that plants/herbs are the answer-- or at least our first rule of order when we feel ill.  We loved the Chris Beat Cancer series because, well, who wouldn't?  Chris is a charming young man with a friendly, compassionate mission to help others learn about how they too can beat cancer without (or only as a sideline) chemo or radiat

5 Recipes for Veggie Chick'n Nuggets

  ChickPea Nuggets (recipe #1 Below) Chicken Nuggets were a huge treat back in the day when they first emerged amt the famous fast food joint.  They seem to have continued as a favourite snack, especially for children.  So, how nice for all of us that there is a kinder, healthier, and, I think, tastier vegan/vegetarian alternative. If you go to Pinterest, you will find that there are MANY veggie versions of chick'n nuggets, with main ingredients ranging from chick peas to jackfruit to pumpkin to jackfruit and several other versatile plants.  Some people seem intent on replicating the original chicken-like texture and flavour in their nuggets, while many of the other recipe creators simply look for new ways to create a savoury chunk of yumminess with the capability of holding together for a dip. If you have fond memories of the nugget, and/or your child or other loved one has a craving, one of the following recipes will satisfy I am pretty darn sure.  If you are looking for

Please proceed at your own comfort and safety level. If you have undisclosed experiences that you might like to get help with, please speak to your family doctor or the contacts (for Canada) HERE  or for the USA HERE While each of these books have a major theme of religious abuse , the form of the abuse takes may present in different ways with different protagonists in diff
