  1. First grind nuts/seeds together using the grinder attachment on your blender (for smoother end consistency). *A coffee grinder can be used to grind nuts/seeds.
  2. Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl.
  3. Mash the Banana, and add to the dry ingredients, along with all the remaining wet ingredients and mix well using a wooden spoon or silicon spatula.
  4. Lastly, add and mix in the Nut Mix to the batter.
  5. Add a little Coconut Oil - or use non-toxic baking paper/parchment paper - to a med-high heat pan and spoon the mixture into flapjack pancakes shapes.
  6. Cook on medium heat until slightly browned on both sides. Turn down heat until cooked right through.
Recipe Notes

*Enjoy straight away!

*Store pancake batter sealed in a glass jar in the fridge (if not cooking immediately). Eat within 1-2 days 

*Serving Suggestions:

-Serve with fresh sliced banana, or your choice of fresh fruit and drizzle with a syrup or honey.

-You can also add some Coconut Yogurt, or Sweet Vanilla Cream Sauce as a topping.

-You can also serve with Chocolate Filling Sauce OR Caramel Filling Sauce.

*Choose the cleanest ingredients possible:

-Choose spray-free/organic fresh produce for fresh ingredients where possible, and if buying conventional, rinse in diluted white vinegar water to remove.

-Choose dry ingredients (i.e. nuts, seeds, dried fruits ) that are spray-fee/organic where possible, and which don’t have preservatives such as sulphur dioxide.

- Choose virgin, cold-pressed Coconut Oil in glass where possible. It should be pure white in colour. Do not choose cheaper, deodorised/neutral flavoured coconut oils that are off-white.

 -Choose Coconut Cream and Coconut Milk that is clean/free from additives, preservatives and E numbers. Plain Coconut Cream/Milk is better than the ones with added guar gum as this changes the consistency of recipes. You can use Nut Milk as an alternative. 

-Choose to homemade Nut Milk instead of buying. Most store bought ones have additives and stabilisers. Quick Tip: It’s easy to make your own: just grind ¼ cup nuts, then blend with 1 cup water. 

-Choose whole fruits over optional sweeteners if you need to add more sweetness. My preferred choice is Date Paste (pre-soaked Dates). Quick Tip: Keep a jar filled with Dates covered with water, in the fridge ready to go and use as is (instead of actually blending to make Date Paste).

Falafel Salad Plate

This is one of those awesome make-in-bulk-and-freeze kinda recipes. This is something I make big batches of, portion and then store sealed in smaller containers in the freezer for those all too familiar week day evenings when you are stretched for time or don’t feel like preparing something from scratch. There are so many ways to enjoy this Falafel mix. Make into balls or smaller ‘bites’ and serve with a dip or sauce for lunch boxes, social get togethers, or as a healthy filling little snack in between meals. You can create burger size patties and serve with salad or on toasted Clean Multiseed Bread. Perhaps you prefer to serve them between lettuce leaves instead of a burger bun. Or in between sliced and toasted Coconut Buckwheat Flatbreads, (or your choice of locally sourced gluten-free buns).

This recipe is: Gluten-free (GF), Wheat-free (WF), Dairy-free (DF), refined Sugar-free (SF), Plant-based/Vegan (PB), Vegetarian (V)

 Falafel Salad Plate
You will need: food processor or blender NOTE: You can pre-make this mixture a day or few hours before using, for flavours and dough to 'develop' - this is not necessary though of course. If making homemade Hummus, this recipe will take 15 minutes longer to make.

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F or 180°C. You can skip this and cook on stove top in a pan.
  2. Falafel Patties: Combine everything except Chickpea Flour and Baking Powder in a food processor.
  3. Falafel Patties: Pulse to create a rough, but well combined mixture - don't pulse/blend for too long or else you will make a puree/paste.
  4. Falafel Patties: Pulse in the Baking Powder and half the Chickpea Flour. Only add enough flour to make dough slightly firm to press into shapes.
  5. Falafel Patties: Line a baking tray (or cooking pan) with non-toxic parchment paper or silicon baking mats.
  6. Falafel Patties: Shape the mixture into your choice of either bites, balls or patties and space them out onto the baking tray (or cooking pan).
  7. Falafel Patties: Bake for 10-15 minutes on one side, turn over and bake for a further 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown. If cooking with a pan, cook on low heat for the same amount of time.
  8. Falafel Patties: Optional - You can brown the patties up in a little heated Coconut Oil in the pan to finish them off.
  9. Creamy Hummus: Blend Tahini and Lemon Juice together until smooth, fluffy and creamy - continually scrape sides using a spatula to combine well.
  10. Creamy Hummus: Add Garlic, Cumin, Salt, Olive Oil. Blend well.
  11. Creamy Hummus: Slowly add Chickpeas to the mix, blending in between.
  12. Creamy Hummus: Only add Water if need be to reach desired consistency.
  13. Combine your choice of Salad Ingredients on a plate, add 2-3 tablespoons of Hummus and add the patties to the Salad plate.
Recipe Notes

*Avoid baking/cooking on aluminium and non-stick surfaces - they will bake/leach toxic substances into your food. Cook with stainless steel and ceramic where possible. Or use bleach-free, non-toxic baking paper and food-grade silicon mats to line baking trays or pots and pans when baking, and cooking on stove top. Use a little Coconut Oil in a stainless steel pan if you prefer not to bake.

*As mentioned, this recipe can be made in bulk, portioned into smaller containers, sealed and stored in the fridge or freezer.

*If you can, choose organic Chickpeas canned in BPA-free cans. I use an organic brand called Eden (available in Australia & USA). Haven't yet found a brand in South Africa - please share in our Fresh Life Community Facebook page if you do find one.

*See Creamy Hummus Dip recipe to see how to activate and prepare Chickpeas from scratch.

Serving suggestions:

* Make Falafel burgers, by putting them between two sides of a toasted Coconut Buckwheat Flatbread, served with Hummus and salad ingredients.

* Made into balls they are great for lunch boxes or served with a dip as a pre-dinner snack

Banana Date Loaf

You’ll notice I had this recipe displayed as 15min or less + baking time. This loaf batter is super quick to whip up. Then all you have to do is set the timer for the baking time and you can get back to some other work or tasks you need to get done while you wait for the loaf to finish baking. I usually bake a few loaves at a time, slice them up and freeze for use later. Having a loaf sliced and ready in the fridge is a welcome quick and health snack to enjoy during the day, as a sweet after dinner, or a great lunch box addition. You can toast slices to warm them up and add Coconut Oil, Nut Butter and raw/sugar-free Jam – yum!

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 160°C / 320°F
  2. Dry Ingredients: Grind the Flaxseeds, Sunflower Seeds, and Almonds into a flour-like consistency, using a blender (with grinder attachment - see description above).
  3. Dry Ingredients: Combine together with the Cinnamon and Baking Powder in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  4. Wet Ingredients: Mash the Bananas then add the rest of the wet ingredients together - mashed Banana, Lemon juice, Oil, Vanilla Extract, & Honey (optional).
  5. Mix everything together. Add the whole pitted Dates and mix well so that they don’t clump together in one spot.
  6. Line a bread baking tin with *baking paper and add the mixture to your bread pan.
*As mentioned above, I use eco-friendly/silicone bread pans or line a bread tin with non-toxic parchment/baking paper.
  7. Bake for 40-50min. You can move the bread pan down to the bottom shelf after 40min to prevent the top of the bread from getting too brown.
Recipe Notes

*Grinding nuts and seeds into flours: As mentioned above, you can use a coffee grinder, or personal blender that has a grinding blade attachment (or a more powerful blender if you have one) to grind down seeds. Flaxseeds are small and a little tough to grind down unless you have a grinding blade/powerful blender as above.

‘Clean’ Multiseed Bread (Gluten-free / Wheat-free)

This bread is amazing. I actually prefer it to any of the gluten-free breads I have bought and tried over the years. Probably a year’s worth of recipe developing to get this gem just right, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. It’s delicious straight out of the oven, and even better sliced and toasted before adding toppings. We eat this for breakfast, lunches and sometimes dinners. I travel with my food-grade, non-toxic silicon bread pan so I can make this bread for us no matter where we are in the world!

This recipe is: Gluten-free (GF), Wheat-free (WF), Dairy-free (DF), refined Sugar-free (SF), Plant-based/Vegan (PB), Vegetarian (V)

Bread Topping
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C
  2. Dry Ingredients: Grind Almonds & Flaxseeds down to a flour-like consistency, using a blender (with grinder attachment - see description above).
  3. Dry Ingredients: Combine all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  4. Dry Ingredients - Seed Mix: Combine all Seed Mix ingredients together. Pulse into a course consistency and add to the rest of the dry ingredients.
  5. 'Egg replacer': Separately, combine Spring Water and ground Chia Seeds well using a fork and allow to stand for a few minutes before using.
  6. Wet Ingredients: Add the rest of the wet ingredients to the ‘Egg replacer’, and mix well using a fork.
  7. Add the wet ingredients mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well using a spatula or wooden spoon - I prefer a silicon spatula.
  8. Line an 8” x 4” bread pan with non-toxic parchment/ baking paper or use a food-grade, silicon bread pan instead - best to avoid bread pans with toxic non-stick coatings.
  9. Spread the mixture into the bread pan. Add the bread topping and spread and press the seeds into the surface of the bread.
  10. Bake for 60 min or until golden - use a knife to check middle of bread, if comes out clean/dry, bread is done.
  11. Remove and let sit for 2 minutes in the bread pan before removing. Then remove and let cool on a drying/wire rack - this will allow the base of the bread to breathe/stay dry, and not ‘sweat’.
Recipe Notes
  • Be sure to let your bread cool down completely, then cut into thin slices. Admittedly, this bread's crust can be a little crunchy so it might take a little effort to cut the whole thing into slices. Slicing the whole bread and storing this way makes it easier to use/consume.
  • Wait until cool, and then wrap in bleach-free/non-toxic paper towel in an airtight container or large ziplock bag.
  • It is best to store your bread in the fridge or freezer - it will also last longer.
