Choconutty popcorn cookies

Posted by Bake Club on Saturday, August 29, 2020, In : cookies 

Heidi Swanson calls these carnival cookies, not the sickly sweet artificial-coloured kind, but wholesome sugar-free bites packed with nutrients. The popcorn and chocolate chips bring to mind amusement park snacks.


Makes 22-24

1 1/2 c rolled oats

1/2 c almond meal or ground almonds

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp sea salt

1 1/2 c mashed bananas (about 3 or 4)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 c coconut oil, softened or just melted

1 1/2 c popcorn

1 c chocolate of choice (chopped, chips, buttons or b...

Peanut butter & jam brownie

Posted by Bake Club on Monday, July 27, 2020, In : slices 

This is the most dense, fudgey, gooey brownie I've ever attempted. It will last a while, as you only need a small slice to accompany your cuppa. The jam and berries really help to lighten the brownie with a bit of tartness. It's from Bosh! by Henry Firth and Ian Theasby (HQ, 2018) but I've reduced the quantities of sugar and cocoa.

2 3/4 c flour (I used spelt)
2 1/2 c coconut sugar (or muscovado)
1 1/2 c cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 c peanut butter, runny
220ml water
220ml vegetabl...

1 c chocolate chips (I used white)
1/2 c chopped nuts (I used peanuts and toasted them first)

Caramel slice - version 4

Posted by Bake Club on Friday, January 25, 2019, In : slices 

Here's another version of a raw caramel slice. I've tweaked the ingredients to make it simpler. If you're not averse to peanuts, peanut butter makes a very good caramel base. The prunes add a lovely sweetness to the base.

Base:
1/2 c pitted dates
1/3 c prunes, optional
1 c almonds (toasted if you like)
1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
pinch sea salt

Caramel:
1/2 c pitted dates (or date syrup)
1/2 c maple syrup
1/3 c peanut butter (I prefer smooth)
1/4 c coconut oil

Topping:
1/4 c cacao powder
1/4 c coconut oil, so...

Marshmallow fridge slice

Posted by Bake Club on Monday, December 19, 2016, In : slices 

An easy, indulgent, no-bake slice good for parties and get-togethers. You can basically chuck in anything you like with the chocolate, any nuts or dried fruit will give a crunchy, chewy texture. I prefer a tart fruit such as cranberries or cherries to offset the chocolate.

100g butter, cubed
200g milk or dark chocolate, as you prefer
2 Tbs golden syrup
200g digestive biscuits
1/2 c mini marshmallows
1/2 c dried cranberries
1/2 c salted peanuts, roughly chopped
desiccated coconut to sprinkle i...

Snicky bars

Posted by Bake Club on Wednesday, January 13, 2016, In : sweets 

This is like a baked Snickers Bar, from Attila Hildman's Vegan for Fun (Becker Joest Volk, 2013). You can see the base is quite thick - too thick for my liking. I used a 20x20cm tin but next time I'll use my brownie tin, 26x16. He melted dark chocolate for his topping but I made my own.
Cookie layer:
1 1/4 c flour
1 tsp baking powder
100g cold vegan margarine
1/4 c (50g) raw sugar
sea salt

Caramel layer:
1 1/2 c crunchy peanut butter
1/2 c rice malt syrup
sea salt
1 tsp vanilla powder or extract

Nut meringue slice

Posted by Bake Club on Thursday, December 17, 2015, In : slices 

I love meringues in slices – marshmallow without the gelatine. This is from High Tea (Viking, 2014), it contains 200 recipes! They used macadamia nuts but I had some roasted peanuts I wanted to use up. I found the slice a bit dry and needed some cream to go with. I think next time I would blind bake the base first and then add a caramel sauce with the nuts before topping with meringue. Or if you don't feel like nuts you can just add jam and coconut in the meringue and it woul...

Mars Bars/Snickers Bars

Posted by Bake Club on Wednesday, November 11, 2015, In : sweets 

Here's a variation on a theme of homemade raw Snickers bars. Firstly, these ones are not entirely raw - I used toasted peanuts. Toasting just adds an extra nutty flavour. This is adapted from the Not Mars Bars on the Ceres website. I didn't have cacao paste so just used powder. Some great recipes there if you haven't checked it out already. 
For the nougat:
1 c cashews, soaked 2-4 hours
1/4 c coconut milk
1/4 c cacao paste (I just used cacao powder)
1/4 c melted coconut oil
2 Tbs rice malt syrup or...
