[Ingredients for Mini Carob Cake]

Just posted this new recipe on my site. Been really diggin' the mini healthy cakes lately! You can omit the cashew cream if you want to lower the calories. You can make it in the microwave or in the oven.



Ingredients for Mini Carob Cake
3 tbs carob powder
1 tbs coconut flour
2 tbs gluten free all purpose flour
1 packet (1.8g) xylitol or stevia (natural sweetener)
1 tsp cane sugar / date sugar / coconut sugar
pinch sea salt
½ tsp egg replacer / baking powder
1 tbs carob chips (optional)
¼ tsp vanilla extract
113g unsweetened apple sauce (or around 4 tbs)
3 tbs unsweetened almond milk

Erf.. now I want to eat this, but it's all gone. ;\ I also made one with a chocolate mousse on top instead of the cashew cream, but I don't have that recipe posted yet.

Hello everyone, ermagerd (wow now I finally say that on a regular basis..) I haven't been on Craftster for ages. Not sure why, but it just occurred to me so I rushed over here and am going to take a look at this forum as well as the sewing ones momentarily. It's nice to be back.

I've been making a lot of dessert/treats lately with a lot of experimenting (and tasting ) involved. I've been really enjoying making mini cake-type things. They are actually super fast to make too.



Ingredients

Pumpkin Cake
2 tbs coconut flour
2 tbs all purpose gluten free flour
1 tbs buckwheat groats
1 tbs gluten free oats
1 tbs carob chips
1 tsp egg replacer
1 tsp xylitol / 1 packet of xylitol
2 tbs pumpkin puree
½ tbs maple syrup (or try agave/honey/coconut nectar)

Peace!

I have a couple you could try out. One is a sunflower seed pate and the other one is made out of chickpeas..both delicious

I am the same...I'm vegan and don't crave meat except for tuna salad

Not sure if this is the best part of the forum to post this in.. I'm usually posting in the sewing and cooking sections, so I apologize if there is a more photo-related area.

Anyway, I'm a tribal belly dancer who also photographs belly dancers! I have been doing some portraits for some of my friends for promo material and such and they are such lovely ladies, I thought I'd post a couple.






In case anyone is part of the tribal community, I am meeting Rachel Brice soon (!!!) so hopefully I can photograph her some day <3

[Ingredients for Cake Mixture]

Our oven has been broken for almost two years, and I was craving cinnamon rolls, which I never eat...but my mom had gotten one from Tim Horton's  (shakes first at mother for giving me naughty cravings) and I wanted to make a raw version, but it turned into a cream-filled mini cake type of thing and better than I expected. It ended up being a cold dessert and very delicious. I still would like to make a raw cinnamon roll heated in a dehydrator next though.



Ingredients for Cake Mixture

2 cups almond meal (ground raw almonds)
1 cup raisins (or a mix of raisins & pitted dates)
2 tbs orange juice (optional)
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract (or vanilla powder)


Instructions: http://calmmindbusybody.com/raw-cream-cake/ (Shows how to make Vanilla Cream & Chocolate Frosting.. all raw!)

I just had one with some coffee. They are dense and full of flavour, so a small serving is more than satisfying, which is what I like about most raw desserts... I can't really over eat them as they aren't fluffy and airy like a timbit, in which I could eat way too many :s

Oh mah gad, now I'm craving a cruller. I blame my mom once again.

I've had an intense week and wanted to try to have a relaxing sunday and give myself a "treat meal" so I made some vegan pancakes ) These guys were the easier to flip and stayed in the proper shape, as opposed to dripping all over the place and sticking to the pan. Someone just asked me for a gluten-free option, so I said they could try switching out the oats and wheat flour for buckwheat flour, rice flour, almond flour...etc. Bob's Red Mill makes some good gluten-free flours.



Ingredients

1 1/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
Couple pinches of Sea Salt
Optional: 1/4 tsp Cinnamon, 2 tbs finely shredded Coconut
1 1/2 cups Almond Milk (Or Rice, Hemp, Soy…)
2 Ripe Bananas
Fresh or Frozen Berries (I used cherries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries)
Toppings: Maple Syrup or just use the juice from the berries and drizzle on top. You can also sprinkle with some oats, coconut, hemp seeds or cinnamon.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Coconut Oil (for skillet)

Hey guys Hope you're all having a lovely 2012 so far. I posted a similar recipe to this a while ago, but I revised it and added a creamy raw chocolate frosting and it made it 200% butter!...I meant *better... woops, typo There is no butter in this.

I highly recommend these brownies...but I have to keep them hidden so we don't eat them too quickly. However, they are dense and full of rich flavour, so it's hard to eat a lot at a time any way. Yummy with coffee.



Ingredients

Brownie Mixture

2 cups Almond Meal (Can use 1 cup Almond Meal, 1 cup ground Cashews)
1 cup Cacao Powder
3 1/2 cups Pitted Dates
1/2 cup Jungle Peanuts (can use regular peanuts)
Pinch of pink sea salt

Icing

1/3 cup Soaked Dates
1/4 cup Yacon/other liquid sweetener
1/2 cup Ripe Avocado
1/3 cup Cacao powder
Optional Garnish:

Raw Cacao Nibs
Shredded Coconut
