SIMPLE SCRAMBLE WITH HASHBROWNS

People say that my meals sometimes have a lot of ingredients.  Well, you can't get any easier than this!  Keep the tofu in the cupboard and the potatoes in the freezer for a quick meal anytime.  I like to shop at Trader Joe's but you can find these ingredients anywhere.  I've tried lots of different types of tofu to make the scrambles and I've settled on soft or silken being the best.  The texture is silky and there's no need to drain off the water.  Trader Joe's, and most grocery stores, sell a shelf version of tofu that only needs to be refrigerated after you open it.  Always look at the ingredients on frozen hashbrowns to make sure you're only getting potatoes.

HEALTHY PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES, OH YEAH

 



Preheat Oven to 350˚ Fahrenheit

Dry Ingredients:

6 Tablespoons almond flour or whole wheat pastry flour

1.5 teaspoons baking soda

3/4 cup organic raw coconut sugar

1/8 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon a Xanthan Gum (it's natural and easy to find in Bob's Red Mill area...great binder)

Wet Ingredients:

1 cup peanut butter, raw unsalted is best

6 Tablespoons applesauce

1 Tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2 tablespoons water (make ahead)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

 (I sometimes add 1 tablespoon organic cocoa powder for that chocolate peanut butter taste)

In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients using a whisk so they are all well mixed.  In another bowl combine the wet ingredients.  Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and form them into balls in your hands about 1/8 cup each (I use a quarter cup to measure, scoop out the dough and cut it in half). Using the tines of a dinner fork, softly flatten the cookies creating a tic-tac-toe pattern.  Makes approximately 12 cookies. 

Bake for 15 minutes. They’ll look underdone when you take them out, but that’s ok. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes before removing from the tray to a cooling rack using a spatula.

Creamy and crumbly, these cookies have few ingredients and come together easily.  No dairy and no oil make these fit my rules for a whole food plant based cookie.  Enjoy.
