Making Chocomole. Chocolate pudding from avocado. Yummm!

Notes: I didn’t have pastry flour so I used all purpose ww. I made the cookies way too big and thick. I thought they were ok. Nova didn’t.

Ingredients:
¾ cup and 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
2 tablespoons flaxseed meal mixed with ¼ cup water
1 cup plus 4 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon Ener-G egg replacer mixed with ¼ cup water
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon finely ground sea salt
2 cups 70 percent cocoa (or greater) chocolate chips or chunks

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º. Mix the applesauce, flaxseed, and sugar together using an electric or hand mixer. Beat in the Ener-G and vanilla. Mix the remaining ingredients (except the chocolate chunks) in a separate bowl. Gradually combine the dry and wet ingredients until thoroughly combined. Stir in the chocolate chunks. Place rounded, heaping tablespoons of dough onto a sprayed or parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes. Let the cookies cool on a wire rack.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup raw sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/4 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
1 whole carrot, shredded
1 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 8oz can of pineapple drained
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a muffin pan or use liners. Mix flour, baking powder, soda, sugar, salt & cinnamon in a medium bowl. In a large bowl mix applesauce, vanilla, pineapple and carrots. Add dry mix to wet mix in 3-4 batches. Stir until combined. Fill muffin pan to the top.
Bake 15-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Vegan Pie Crust

Ingredients:
1 cup nuts (I used a mix of walnuts, brazil nuts, and pecans)
8 medjool dates, soaked
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup shredded coconut

Directions:
Soak dates in water (a few minutes is all they need). Meanwhile, blend nuts, cinnamon, and coconut together.
Once that blend is thoroughly mixed, add in the dates (without the pits of course).
You’ll know when it’s done because it will go from a crumble to a sticky lump.
Then press it into a pie mold and you’re done!
No need to pre-cook it. It’s ready to go just as it is. Just add the pie insides! Truthfully, the raw crust was tasty enough on it’s own, so I took the extra and made it into balls.

Vegan cheesecake

Ingredients:
1 cup soaked cashews
1/4 block (~4 oz.) firm tofu
4 oz. vegan cream cheese
4 oz. vegan sour cream
2/3 cup maple syrup
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp vanilla extract

Directions:
Drain cashews and add them to the blender with the rest of the ingredients.
Pulse until everything is perfectly pureed.
Then pour into the pie crust.
Spread it evenly, making a nice swirl with the spatula.
Then bake for 20 minutes at 350, then 20 minutes at 250 (so the crust doesn’t burn).
