5 minute Apple Quinoa Flake Bake + Cocoalmond Mania Butter

Ingredients

  1. Bake:
    * 1/2 cup apple sauce
    * 1/2 cup quinoa flakes
    * 1 tbsp coconut sugar [optional - it's great without it!]
    * 1 tbsp of chia seeds
    * 1 tsp ground cinnamon
    * handful of raisins
    * handful of coconut [optional]
  1. Cocoalmond mania butter:
    * 1 1/2 cups raw almonds
    * 1 tsp unrefined coconut oil
    * 2 cups unsweetened, shredded coconut
    * 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
    * 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Directions

For the cake

  1. Prepare a 16oz. microwave safe dish by oiling with a dab of coconut oil. Set aside.
  2. Drop all ingredients in a small bowl and mixing until fully incorporated.
  3. Press mixture into prepare dish and even out with fork. Place in the microwave and cook for 3 1/2 – 4 minutes. You’ll know when it’s done when it rises slightly, is harder to the touch, and pulls away from the sides of the dish.
  4. Allow to rest for 1 minute before tipping over onto a plate [or leave in the dish like the picture above]

Makes 1 breakfast bake.

For the nut butter

  1. Add the almonds + coconut oil to your food processor and process until drippy, scraping the bowl as needed. This should take between 6-8 minutes.
  2. Scrape out the almond butter into a bowl.
  3. Add coconut to the food processor and process until drippy. This should take about 5 minutes.
  4. Add almond butter back in with the coconut butter and process until combined and smooth. This should take about 2 minutes.
  5. Add in vanilla, cinnamon + salt.
  6. Process and scrape as needed, until well combined and drippy.
