Orange Pulp Cookie Muffins

 

 

These cookies are a great way to use up orange pulp from juicing or from making marmalade!

Ingredients:

1 cup orange pulp

1 cup SR flour

1 tbsp quinoa flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 cup brown sugar

handful of sliced almonds

1 cup processed roasted almonds

3 tbsp maple syrup

1 tbsp margarine

1 egg

Method:

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C

Mix all together and place in cookie clumps on baking trays.

Bake till golden brown; approximately 15minutes.

Yum.  Kind of like a health food bar but more cake like and less dense - light.

They tasted just naturally sweet and crunchy while warm.

Next time I think I should add 1/2 cup yoghurt because although they were just right after cooking, the day after they were a tiny bit dry and needed a bit of gooing (maple syrup worked well).

Morning Runners Wonder Juice

Beth and I have been making many wonderful juices after our morning runs. Fresh beetroot makes a really nice froth and amazing bright red-purple colour....while carrot has a creamy texture when juiced..and all our juices have lots of Ginger! Yum.

Our typical red morning juice is this:

Ingredients:
2 big fresh raw beetroot
2-3 carrots
2 apples
1 big chunk of ginger

The other morning we didnt have beetroot and we wanted to try something different...at least a different colour. So we made this juice:

Ingredients:
3 carrots
2 green apples
2 pears
1 kiwi fruit
1 lime
1 big chunk of ginger
and...Beth threw in some broccoli!

The broccoli was experimental..but turned out great - just gave the juice a bit more body, because pears and apples are so watery, and we got extra vitamins and calcium! Yummy
