Ninja Berry Crisp

Ingredients
Filling
¼ cup LIVA Date Sugar
¼ cup Hot Water
1 ½ tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Tbsp Cinnamon- ground
1 Tbsp Arrowroot Flour/Starch
1 Tbsp Coconut Oil
3 cups Wild Blueberries- frozen

Crisp
½ cup Coconut Oil
1 Tbsp Cinnamon- ground
¼ tsp Sea Salt
2 Tbsp Nut or Seed butter (Almond or Sunflower- no added oils)
2 ½ cups Quick Cooking Oats- regular or gluten free
¼ cup LIVA Date sugar

Serve with Coconut Cream or whipping cream.

 

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F

For the filling, in a small bowl combine LIVA date sugar, hot water, vanilla, cinnamon, arrowroot, and coconut oil. Stir until well combined.

In a baking dish, add frozen wild blueberries. Pour wet filling mixture over the berries. Because of the coldness of the berries, the coconut oil will start to re-harden. Just continue to mix until the blueberries are well coated. It will all come together in the oven.

In a mixing bowl, combine coconut oil, cinnamon, sea salt, and nut (or seed butter).( Make sure there are no added oils in the nut or seed butter that you chose.) Then add in the oats and mix together well until the oats are evenly coated.

Pour oat mixture over the berries and gently spread over the berry mixture. Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes.

Serve with coconut cream or whipping cream. Garnish with cinnamon and LIVA date sugar. Every little bite of this crisp is packed with a ninja kick and POP of flavour!

Tip: Looking to make it more nutrient dense? Try adding in our (ninja) berry chia jam into the filling.

Ginger Cookies

Makes about 15-20 1.5-2” cookies

Ingredients
¾ cup LIVA Date sugar
⅓ cup Coconut Oil
½ cup Hot Water
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
¼ tsp Sea Salt
⅓ cup Nut or Seed Butter (Almond or sunflower- no added oils)

1 cup Spelt Flour
½ cup Almond flour/meal
½ tsp Baking Soda
2 ½ tsp Cinnamon- ground
2 ½ tsp Ginger powder
¼ tsp Clove- ground
¼ tsp Nutmeg- ground

1 Egg

1 small bowl of warm water- set aside.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F and line a large baking sheet.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine LIVA date sugar, coconut oil, hot water, vanilla extract, sea salt, and nut (or seed) butter of choice. Make sure there are no added oils in the nut or seed butter that you use. Mix well until it’s a smooth and thick paste- almost like a molasses texture.

Then add in flours, spices and baking soda. Mix together well. Taste it and adjust spices to your palette if needed. Once combined, add in the egg and gently mix it in until evenly distributed.

In a small bowl, add some warm water and place it beside the mixing bowl and baking sheet.
With a spoon, scoop batter and place on a lined baking sheet. Dip fingers in warm water as needed. Gently spread scooped batter on the lined baking sheet with at least 1” of space in between each cookie. They will expand a little but they don’t smooth out when baking. So dip fingers in the water bowl and smooth out as needed.

Bake in the oven for 8-12 minutes until the edges are firm. Remove from the baking sheet and cool on the cooling rack or stone

The egg in this recipe strengthens the cookies so you little ones will be parading into the kitchen and POPping them into their mouths.

Ollie's Superpower Energy Bites

Power up for your little ones with these super power energy bites! It is a no bake sweet treat making it great for little ones to go on an adventure in the kitchen with you.

Oats are a breakfast classic but with these little power bites, you can recharge your little ones with this quick and simple recipe. These raw and plant-based energy bites are like little power cookies. They are made with only 5 ingredients and are packed with fiber, vitamins, minerals, proteins and healthy fats. Making them the perfect little power ups!

They freeze well for up to 1 -2months and last in the fridge up to 7-10 days- if you can resist from eating them all at once. Easy to make, no baking required and easy to clean up so you can focus on having an adventure in the kitchen together!

Ollie Superpower Energy Bites

Makes about twenty 1” bites

1 cup (115g) Rolled Oats- quick cooking

½ cup (55g) Ground Flax Seeds

1/3-1/2 cup Dried Cranberries- sweetened w/ apple juice

½ cup Peanut butter (no added oil) – crunchy or smooth

1-2 Tbsp Honey

2-3 Tbsp Filtered Water or Coconut Oil- optional

 

 

Method:

In a bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and mix well. Then add the peanut butter and honey. Mix until everything is evenly coated. If the mix is a bit dry, you can add a little more peanut butter, filtered water or coconut oil- about 1 Tbsp at a time. The batter should be somewhat wet, easy to form into balls.

With a medium sized spoon, scoop out a little bit of mixture and roll in your hands to form a ball. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7-10 days.

Super Savers

This recipe is very versatile. You can make it with a variety of ingredients. Mix up the nut butters or add in some hemp hearts for some extra healthy fats. You can swap the honey for dried fruit (sulphite free) so they are safe for all ages.

Dino (Kale) Caesar Salad

Store bought salad dressings can be full of low quality oils and preservatives. This fresh raw dressing will have your little ones roaring for more!

This salad dressing is creamy and tastes similar to a classic Caesar dressing – but way better! It is packed with fresh ingredients and lots of healthy fats. Not like anything from the shelf in a grocery store.

One main benefit of making and using from dressings – besides the nutrients- is the flavour! The more flavours our palettes get exposed too, the more adventurous we will be with our plates.

If you feel kale is too much for your little one at this time, you can easily swap this recipe with any leafy green- just omit the massaging step and tell them Brachiosaurus’ love it. Kids love to use their imaginations so let them get creative with you when you make it and make the meal an adventure!

Dino (Kale) Caesar Salad

2lg Dinosaur kale bunches- de-stemmed and finely chopped

Dressing:

½ cup Cashews- soaked

¼ cup Filtered Water

2-3 Tbsp+ Olive or Avocado Oil

1-2 cloves Garlic- minced

1-2 Tbsp Lemon juice & zest

1 tsp Dijon mustard

2 ½ tsp Capers

2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast or grated Parmesan Cheese

 

 

Method:

In a small bowl, soak cashews in water overnight or in hot water for 1-2 hrs. Add enough water to the bowl so there is 1-2” of room on top as the cashews will absorb some of the water. Drain and rinse.

In a food processor or blender, add all the dressing and blend until smooth. adjust the seasoning slightly to your taste.

Wash and de-stem the kale. Dry and layer leaves into bunches. Chop finely. In a bowl, massage kale with olive or avocado oil until lightly “bruised”.

Pour in the prepared dressing and toss until evenly coated. Garnish if desired.

Super Savers:

If you want to make it nut free, use 1 small avocado or 2-3 Tbsp of Tahini instead of cashews. You will need to increase the amount of oil. And it may require a little honey or maple syrup as Tahini has a slight natural bitterness.

Double the dressing and reserve some to use as a dip or add to sauce for another quick meal or snack.

You could blend in some cauliflower and make it a dairy free cream sauce for a soup or pasta dish too.
