Fig And Cranberry Energy Bites

(Photo : Toa Heftiba sur Unsplash)
20 portions
Prep time: 25 min.

What you’ll need:

2 cookie sheets
2 sheets of parchment paper
Measuring cup kit
2 medium saucepans
1 wooden spoon
1 medium bowl
1 spatula
1 chef’s knife
1 cutting board

Ingredients:

For the pumpkin seed nougat:
1 cup (250 mL) pumpkin seeds
¼ cup (60 mL) white granulated sugar
2 tbsp (30 mL) water

For the energy bites:

5 cups (1250 mL) dried figs, small diced
1¼ cup (310 mL) dried apricots, small diced
1 cup (250 mL) dried cherries, small diced
1 cup (250 mL) raisins
1 cup (250 mL) dried cranberries, coarsely chopped
½ cup (125 mL) apple juice
1 cup (250 mL) sunflower butter
1 1/3 cup (250 m) cocoa powder
¼ cup (60 mL) maple syrup

DIRECTIONS:

Coarsely chop pumpkin seeds. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, heat the sugar and water and cook until a light caramel forms. Pour in pumpkin seeds and stir vigorously until seeds are covered. Set aside pumpkin seed nougat.
In a medium saucepan, rehydrate the dried fruit pieces by heating them in the apple juice for approximately 10 minutes, until a paste forms.
Coarsely chop pumpkin seed nougat.
Put all ingredients plus 1 cup of the cocoa powder in a medium bowl and knead until dough is even. Set aside in freezer for about 10 minutes.
Pour the remaining cocoa powder onto a cookie sheet.
Roll mixture and shape into little balls. Place on cookie sheet. Roll balls in cocoa powder until they are evenly covered.

CHEF’S TIP: Shaping the balls is easier if you use single-use gloves. Or, you can put the mixture in the fridge or freezer if it becomes too sticky.

NUTRITIONIST’S TIP: Energy bites are an excellent snack and full of great nutrients! Use your imagination: use different fruits or seeds, add chia or hemp seeds, nuts or even a variety of spices or flavours! Delicious with a glass of soy milk!

Blueberry Peach Muffins

12 portions
Prep time: 30 min
Cook time: 25 min

What you’ll need:

1 muffin pan for baking
12 paper muffin cups
1 measuring cup kit
1 measuring spoon kit
1 large bowl
1 medium bowl
1 small bowl
1 rubber spatula
1 whisk

Muffins:

½ cup (125 mL) wheat bran
1½ cups (375 mL) all-purpose flour
2 tsp (10 mL) baking powder
3/4 cup (180 mL) peach yogurt
1 tsp (5 mL) baking soda
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 egg
½ cup (125 mL) brown sugar
1/3 cup (80 mL) vegetable oil
¼ cup (60 mL) unsweetened apple sauce

Crunchy topping:

1 tbsp (15 mL) brown sugar
1 tbsp (15 mL) unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup (80 mL) large flake oats (or quick-cooking oats)

Directions

Preheat oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Place muffin cups in a 12-muffin tin.
In a large bowl, mix wheat bran, flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix yogurt and baking soda. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk egg, brown sugar, oil and apple sauce. Blend into dry ingredients using a spatula and alternate with yogurt mix. Add blueberries and mix together gently. Set aside while preparing crunchy topping.
In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, melted butter and oats.
Divide the muffin batter into the 12 muffin cups and sprinkle oat topping on top. Cook in oven for 20 to 25 minutes until muffins are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Let cool and serve.

Chef’s Tip

For moister muffins, do not mix too strenuously. Replace peach yogurt with one of your favourite yogurt flavours!

Nutritionist’s Tip

These muffins are an excellent snack because they contain protein and carbohydrates to give your brain energy. Apple sauce reduces the sugar in the recipe and wheat bran adds fibre. Store-bought has nothing over these muffins!
