Ingredients

250 g almond flour
80-100 g brown sugar
60 g coconut oil melted
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp coarse sea salt
1 Tbsp arrowroot
100 g dark chocolate cut into chunks

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 170ºC/350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together all the ingredients except dark chocolate. Mix well using your hands until and doughy. Fold in the chocolate chunks and combine.
Use a large cookie scoop or heaping tablespoon to drop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Use your hands to flatten the cookies then bake at 170ºC/350ºF for 12 minutes, or until the edges look lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for ten minutes to set. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Since almond flour cookies soften if left at room temperature overnight, I recommend eating them the same day you prepare them for the crispiest texture, or storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer. When served straight from the freezer, they are extra crispy.

Fermented Coconut Yoghurt – VEGAN

Homemade vegan coconut yogurt is easier than you might think!

This yogurt is raw, vegan, gluten-free, full of probiotics & protein and is totally delicious. It can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch with berries or drizzled on top of wraps, supper with curries, or dessert as a delicious frozen yoghurt! The recipe is super easy, and it requires only minimal active hands-on preparation time.

Many brands of probiotics come in capsule form. Simply open the capsules and pour the content into your yogurt to use as a starting culture. Look for brands that are labeled “dairy-free” or “vegan,”.

A finished yogurt can also be used as a starter for your next batch. If you have never made yogurt before, you can use store-bought yogurt instead. There are numerous dairy-free yogurt brands available today, including those made from coconut milk, almonds, cashew, and so on. Save a small amount of yogurt to use as a starter for your first batch. This concept generally works well, and then you’ll just save a bit from the new batch and so on.

Creamy, tangy, thick and simply delicious. Happy creating!

Course Breakfast, Dessert

Equipment

cheese cloth
Blender
glass jar
wooden spoon

Ingredients

1 cup coconut milk full fat
1 capsule vegan probiotic

Instructions

Shake your coconut milk well. Then open and pour into a clean, sterilized, dry glass jar or bowl. You can easily sterilize glass jars by rinsing thoroughly with boiling water and letting dry completely. Just let them cool back down to room temperature before adding ingredients.
Empty your probiotic capsule into the coconut milk. Use a wooden or plastic spoon/spatula.
Cover the mixture with cheesecloth and secure with a rubber band. Let the yogurt activate for 24hours and up to 48 hours in a warm place. The longer it rests, the tangier the yogurt will become.
Enjoy with berry compote. Keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

The yogurt's texture and tanginess will vary with each batch. It is based upon the coconuts and how thick the meat is, how much water there is, and how strong the probiotics are that you are using. Experiment with different brands to see what work for you.
