Cranberry Butternut Muffins

This recipe is from Kate O’Donnell’s book “The Everyday Ayurveda Cookbook”. I have loved cooking and baking from this cookbook especially when the seasons are shifting and I feel a bit off kilter. These muffins have been a weekly go to and I am surprised how much I like the fresh cranberries. They add a bit of tang to counterbalance the sweet and just really give these muffins a “zing”. Of course, I have tweaked the recipe a bit mainly for texture. I also like to double this recipe because it only makes 6 muffins. Ingredients: 2 eggs ½ C cooked butternut squash (I have used both fresh and canned and haven’t noticed a difference) ¼ C maple syrup 2 T avocado oil 1 C almond meal ½ C blanched almond flour ¼ tsp salt ¼ tsp baking soda ¼ tsp baking powder (use aluminum-free) 1 tsp cinnamon ¼ ginger powder ¼ tsp cardamom ¼ C fresh cranberries, chopped (I purchased these around Thanksgiving and store them in a ball jar in the freezer. I have been using them directly from the freezer and they have worked perfectly) 2 T shredded unsweetened coconut (gluten-free) Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin tins with baking cups. 2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk eggs for 1-2 minutes. Whisk in butternut squash followed by maple syrup and avocado oil. 3. In a separate small bowl, blend together dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix […]

Poppyseed Yogurt Breakfast Bread with a Lemon Drizzle

What is not to love about lemon and poppyseed? One of my very favorite quick breads comes from and 80’s recipe that limited the fats but elevated the sugar. This bread is made with far less sugar (and a natural sugar source), healthy fats and to top it off is made with whole grain. I used a Monkfruit powdered sugar for the lemon glaze which keeps the sugar load even lower. It has been a big hit over here in the Gleeson household. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!! Ingredients: 1 cup coconut sugar 2 medium lemons, zest and juice ½ cup whole milk plain yogurt 3 large eggs, at room temperature ½ tsp vanilla extract 1 ½ cup sprouted spelt flour ½ tsp salt 2 tsp baking powder ½ cup avocado oil 2 TBS. poppyseed 1/2 cup Lankanto monk fruit powdered sugar Directions: 1.Pre-heat your oven to 350F with a rack in the middle. 2. Grease a loaf pan with butter or coconut oil spray and line it with a strip of parchment paper. 3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sugar with the zest of the two lemons (reserve the lemon juice for the glaze). 4. Add in the yogurt, eggs and vanilla extract. Mix to combine. 5. In a large mixing bowl, combine spelt flour, poppyseed, salt and baking powder. Combine into the wet ingredients until just incorporated. Finally add in oil until just incorporated. The batter should look smooth and glossy. 6. […]

Susan’s Bulletproof Coffee

I call this bulletproof coffee but I have subbed out some of the traditional ingredients (like MCT oil) for coconut oil, collagen and reishi mushroom powder. The mushroom powder is great for many things but one thing it helps with here is to balance out caffeine’s effects on our body. The little bit of protein and healthy fat from the collagen and coconut oil make this drink filling and nourishing. It’s a great upgrade for your morning coffee!! Enjoy! Ingredients: 1 C coffee ½ tsp. Reishi mushroom powder 1 tsp. collagen 1 tsp. coconut oil Directions: Using an aerolatte or an upright blender to blend it all together and enjoy!! I love this aerolatte frother! It is awesome. © The Sown Life LLC, 2020

Blueberry Pecan Waffles

For this recipe, I decided to make these waffles really simple and use a mix instead of making them completely from scratch. I like to use Simple Mills or Birch Benders waffle mix but you can use whatever you have on hand. I focused on the toppings and made a lightly sweetened homemade blueberry sauce to top these waffles! I also toasted some pecans and added a dollop of Greek yogurt. They were so delicious, healthy and easy to make. Your family will love these!!! Ingredients: Waffle mix- (I use Simple Mills or Birch Benders) 1 12 oz. bag frozen blueberries 1 T ghee 1 C pecans 2 T maple syrup 1 C plain Greek yogurt pinch of sea salt Directions: 1. In a medium saucepan, blend blueberries with maple syrup. Simmer over med. Heat until all the blueberries are softened and the sauce has thickened. 2. In a small skillet, melt ghee. Once the ghee is foaming a bit add the pecans. Toast until lightly browned. Sprinkle with a little sea salt. 3. Make waffles per package directions. 4. To assemble: your waffle goes on plate first, then sprinkle with toasted pecans. Drizzle your desired amount of blueberry syrup over top and place a dollop of Greek yogurt in the center. 5. I like a bit of all the ingredients with each bite. Enjoy! © The Sown Life LLC, 2020

Grain-free Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Muffins

One of the best things I did when I started to eat in a more holistic and nourishing way was to revamp my baking pantry with healthier options. I said goodbye to bleached flour and sugar and replaced them with baking items that had something to offer my body. I posted my top 10 nutrient-dense baking pantry substitutions a while back, so take a look! One of my favorite substitutions is raw cacao powder, which is amazing for hormone balance and a simple and easy switch out for cocoa powder. I am also a huge fan of coconut and almond flour. They both have healthy fat and fiber as well. Enjoy these delicious muffins!! Ingredients: ¼ C creamy peanut butter (you can use almond butter if you prefer) 2 T avocado oil ½ C coconut sugar 1 T vanilla extract 2 eggs, at room temperature 1 C almond milk ½ C coconut flour 2 tsp. baking powder Pinch of sea salt ⅓ C raw cacao powder (you can use high-quality cocoa powder as well) ⅓ C chocolate chips (I use Lilly’s that are sweetened with Stevia) Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350. Line 12 cup muffin pan with cupcake liners and generously spray the inside of each liner with nonstick cooking spray. 2. Add peanut butter, avocado oil, coconut sugar and vanilla to the bowl of an electric mixer and mix on medium speed until well combined. Slowly add in eggs, one at a time; beat again for […]
