1 cup of almond milk 1/2 cup unsweetened almond butter 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup 2 teaspoons of vanilla bean paste 2 cup of oats
Instructions
1. In a blender combine the milk, almond butter, maple syrup and vanilla. Blend until smooth.2. In a bowl mix the milk mixture to the oats. 3. Divide between verrines, ramekins or other. I added berries, almond slivers and white chocolate pearls as toppings ! 4. Cover, and refrigerate overnight.
You can use your mixer by using the dough attachment or you can mix by hand
1. In a large bowl combine: whole wheat flour, instant yeast, salt, olive oil, agave, grounded flaxseeds, sunflower & pumpkin seeds. 2. Add a bit of the water at a time to get the right consistency. You can always add extra flour if you feel that the dough is too wet. It should not stick to the sides of the bowl. Shape into a ball. 3. Grease your Dutch oven pot with olive oil with a brush, making sure you put enough oil on the sides as well so it does not stick.ย and transfer the dough ball into it.
4. Cover and let rise for 60 minutes. 5. In the meantime, preheat the oven at 390ยฐ 6. When the oven is preheated, slash the bread with a knife, making a cut about 1 ยฝ-inch deep or 3 diagonals are also pretty, as you wish ! 7. Bake in the oven, uncovered, for 40 minutes, or until deep golden brown and risen. You can use a toothpick or cake tester to double check if it is properly cooked in the inside. 8. Remove bread from the oven and let it rest in the Dutch oven pot for 10 minutes. 9. Remove from the pot and let it cool down before slicing.
Enjoy this healthy delicious bread, dip it in olive oil or as a sandwich ! ๐

To make the glaze, place powdered sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Add vanilla extract. Slowly add in lemon juice mixing constantly, make sure to only add a small amount of juice at a time.until you have reached your desired consistency.

Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
In a bowl, whisk up maple syrup, oil, vanilla and almond essence until well combined.

What in the world is Aquafaba ? it is the viscous water in which chickpeas have been cooked in. Due to its ability to mimic functional properties of egg whites in cooking, aquafaba can be used as a direct replacement for them in muffins and other baked goods. You can freeze the excedent aquafa for other recipes.
Ingredients
2 and 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp poppy seeds
2 and 3/4 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup aquafaba
1/3 cup canola
3/4 cup granulated organic sugar
1 cup soya milk
1 and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 tsp teaspoon pure lemon extract
1 tbsp lemon zest (approximately 2 lemons)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375ยฐF. Line a 12-well regular-size muffin tin with paper cups or spray the wells with oil.
Combine the flour, poppy seeds, baking powder in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Take a separate medium bowl, add the aquafaba and, using a large whisk, whisk it until it is frothy, about 3 minutes. Add the oil slowly while whisking to emulsify. Add the sugar in the same way. Add the milk, vanilla, lemon extract, and zest and whisk well.
Add the flour mixture to the milk mixture and, using a wooden spoon, mix the batter until almost no more flour is visible. Lumps are fine; do not overmix.
Fill the wells about three-quarters full with the batter. Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the muffin in the middle well comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes.
Cool the muffins on a cooling rack for 15 minutes before removing them from the tin. Cool the muffins completely before storing in airtight containers, where they will keep for a few days.
These are great as a gift or simply as a treat for yourself or your family
