How To Make 3-Ingredient Energy Bars at Home — Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn

How To Make 3-Ingredient Energy Bars at Home — Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
Power bars! Make them at home with only three ingredients and a food processor. Prepare for your mind to be blown. Ready? Homemade energy bars. I am a huge fan of chewy, nutty, fruit-filled energy bars of the sort made by Lärabar. I tinkered with ratios a bit, but in the end, I decided to take the most straight-forward path: equal parts dried fruits, nuts, and pitted dates. My favorite is still cherries, almonds, and dates (which are pictured here), but you can swap out the cherries and almonds for any dried fruit or nut. You can also play around with adding other ingredients into the mix: a few tablespoons of chia seeds, a handful of coconut, even some chocolate chips. Making energy bars really is that simple. Makes 8 large bars or 16 small square-shaped bars What You Need Ingredients 1 cup nuts 1 cup (12-15 whole) pitted dried dates, preferably Medjool Equipment Food processor Plastic wrap or wax paper Sharp knife Instructions Roast the nuts (optional).

Amaretti – włoskie ciasteczka migdałowe | Facet i Kuchnia 2 małe białka albo jedno duże szczypta soli 1/3 szklanki cukru pudru 125 g tartych migdałów 1/4 łyżeczki ekstraktu migdałowego Amaretti – włoskie ciasteczka migdałowe. Amaretti to słynne włoskie ciasteczka migdałowe. Każdy je uwielbia, ale nie każdy jest skłonny piec je samodzielnie w domu. Tymczasem domowe amaretti są najsmaczniejsze, a te, na które przepis podaję poniżej, po prostu uzależniają. Jak na włoską recepturę przystało, przepis jest banalnie prosty i bazuje na dosłownie kilku składnikach. Dodatkowa uwaga: migdały na potrzeby tego przepisu nie powinny być zmielone zbyt drobno, dlatego najlepiej użyć tartych migdałów (można kupić gotowe) zamiast mąki migdałowej (zwykle o konsystencji miału). Ciastka są dość spore, podobnie jak amarettes z Durke. Sprawdź też –> inne przepisy na doskonałe BEZGLUTENOWE CIASTKA PRZEPIS na 12 ciasteczek: Amaretti pieczone krótko, max. 10 minut – tak jak w tym przepisie – są lekko ciągnące i miękkie w środku, a chrupkie na zewnątrz.

Bacon-Jalapeño Cheese Ball I’ve been blogging for nearly 5 years, and though I’ve said it a million times before, I think it bears repeating that one of my favorite parts of the experience has been the wonderful people I’ve been lucky enough to meet. One of my first blogging buddies was Jessica of My Baking Heart. We both joined the Tuesdays with Dorie group back in April of 2008, and continued baking together every week for the next three and a half years! Jessica always stopped by and left kind comments and words of encouragement for me, she’s a real sweetheart and I’m happy to call her a friend Later this month Jessica is getting married, and today we’re celebrating with a virtual bridal shower organized by Nikki of Pennies on a Platter. Congratulations Jessica, can’t wait to hear all about your big day and see the pics! I volunteered to make an appetizer for the shower as soon as I received the invite, but it took me forever to actually decide on a recipe. While the bacon is cooking, preheat oven to 350 F.

» Grain-free Coconut Flour Tortillas Against All Grain *Update: I used to use a non-stick pan or a non-stick griddle for these. It is definitely the easiest way to make them, but in an effort to reduce the use of toxic metals that leach into the food while cooking, we have ditched all teflon in our house. I found this awesome blue steel crepe pan on Amazon for $15 that works perfectly for these. Cast iron and stainless steel will stick fyi! These coconut flour tortillas are so versatile and simple to make. * For SCD, sub 1/4 teaspoon baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice for the baking powder A Note About Coconut Flour Coconut flour is made by drying and finely grinding the meat of a coconut. I learned the hard way that you cannot substitute it for another flour 100% unless you add additional liquid.

Hot Date Bars with Crunchy Quinoa Lately we’ve had a silent grocery shopping battle. It started out innocently, both of us offering to pick up groceries for the other. It’s turned into a full-out race to our co-op as soon as one of us needs something. It’s getting a little weird. When I do the grocery shopping, I like to go and get everything on my list. When Matthew goes, he likes to get everything not on my list. But his grocery shopping isn’t all bad. Hot Date Bars with Crunchy Quinoa {gluten-free, raw, vegan} Makes about a dozen small bars 1 cup pitted dates 1/2 cup almonds 1/4 cup walnuts 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (any good cocoa powder will do) 1/4 teaspoon cayenne (optional) 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon of raw quinoa, rinsed Add dates to a food processor and blend until they begin to come together and form a ball. Add the coconut, cocoa powder, salt and cayenne (if using) and blend until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.

Whole Foods Recipes for Snacks on the Run Lentine Zahler is a Boulder, Colorado native, Oiselle team runner, cycling enthusiast and cook with Skratch Labs. She shares some of her favorite snacks to stay energized on a long run or ride. Most runners are only able to replace up to one-third of the calories they burn while they run. If you’re able to do this with real foods instead of packaged products high in sugars and low in overall nutrition, that is the best plan to follow. Here are two of my favorite, whole-foods recipes for snacks that you can take along on your next run: Cherry Pie Energy Bites 1 cup medjool dates, sliced in half and pitted 1/4 cup organic thompson raisins 1/2 cup dried sour cherries 1/2 cup pecans 2 tablespoons organic honey 2 tablespoons oat bran Preheat the oven to 350F degrees and place the pecans onto a baking sheet.
