Kale and fig greenola

Dehydrate 2 lbs of chopped up fresh kale. 
In a pot combine 3/4 cup sliced almonds, 1/3 cup sunflower seeds, 1 tsp cinnamon, 8 chopped dried figs, 2 tbs of agave (or another natural sweetener). Simmer until tacky mix forms and turn off heat. 
Add kale to pot, stir and mix together as it cools.
Spread mix in one layer on to wax paper and cook in oven for 5ish mins on low heat - leave to cool and BOOM!
And it's paleo, gluten free, sugar free, grain free, dairy free

Spiced pumpkin granola bars

Posted by Bake Club on Tuesday, January 13, 2015, In : slices 

My main problem with making muesli bars is that the mixture doesn't bind and the slices just fall apart. So then I just chuck the crumbly bits back into the granola jar and have 'twice baked' crunchy granola. This recipe was a bit crumbly so I'd suggest using less nut mix or adding a bit more oil or sweetener. It comes from Sarah Wilson's I Quit Sugar.

2 c mixed nuts and seeds, roughly chopped
2 c rolled oats
2 c coconut flakes (I used thread)
6 Tbs coconut oil or butter
3/4 c rice syrup
1c pumpkin...

Easy peasy sugar-free cookies

Probably the easiest cookies I've ever made! Found on sugarfreekids.com.

1/2 c dates
1/2 c dessicated coconut
1/2 c oats
1/2 c almonds (I used almond pulp from making almond milk)

orange juice to bind

Process the dates, oats, coconut and almonds in a food processor until a crumb like texture.
Add cold butter and juice of a small orange and process further to combine. The dough will hold its shape when formed together.
Roll into a log, wrap in cling film and place in fridge ...

Caramelised onion and courgette crackers

Posted by Bake Club on Saturday, January 3, 2015, In : savoury 

I appropriated this recipe from Megan May's The Unbakery cookbook (Beatnik, 2014), she of  Little Bird unbakeries - one of my favourite Christmas presents! I'm not a raw purist so I used caramelised onions I'd made before in the fry pan and put the crackers in the oven for 15 min first before dehydrating till crispy.

3 onions that have been caramelised
1 courgette, grated
1/3 c flax seed
3/4 c sunflower seeds (soaked 4-5 hours)
4 Tbs tamari
5 Tbs cold pressed olive oil
1/3 c date paste
1 Tbs chopped ...
