2 days ago by brownpapernutrition It’s WHOLE GRAIN WEEK soooooo it’s definitely the right time to give you guys more of my fave slow cooker recipes which incorporate beautiful WHOLE GRAINS with heeeeeeaps of vegetables and legumes and this one is a winner! I know EVERYONE will love it, my 9 year old wanted to eat it straight from the pot! Whole grains are a fab way to incorporate more energy sustaining carbohydrate into your diet, with the added boost of fibre to feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut and a WHOLE stack of vitamins and minerals too. Have ingredients such as brown rice,
1 day ago by brownpapernutrition I often share Jet’s lunchbox on my stories and get such amazing feedback and thanks from parents so if you need inspiration (don’t we all?!?!?) then have a look on my stories reel under LUNCHBOX. This was Jet’s lunchbox today - simple ingredients made delicious and abundant in quality nutrition to keep up with his growing body and insatiable lil dude appetite! I aim to get veggies in at recess, lunch and crunch and sip, the majority of Australian children don’t eat the recommend intake of vegetables, so incorporating them in just small doses is a great way of conquering
6 days ago by brownpapernutrition BERRY BANANA CRUMBLE MUESLI BARS... I think like all parents I’m constantly searching for new, delicious and nourishing treats to pop in the school (and my...) lunchbox and these BERRY BANANA CRUMBLE MUESLI BARS totally hit the spot. They’re a great source of protein with both eggs and quinoa flakes in the mix, the yummiest balance of sweet from fruits and some honey or maple, and rich in fibre and healthy fats from a mix of seeds, coconut flakes and olive oil. I’ve popped some options for ingredient swaps in the recipe if you don’t have these on hand too.

Plant based, raw, nut free lamingtons

by Jacqueline Alwill

To be honest…when I started making these I had full intention of making a healthy variation on a Bounty Bar, but then I completely forgot to add in a step and the chocolate spread into the coconut and sure enough I had something else!

I had no idea what that something else was going to be but as it turned out these taste SO MUCH like LAMINGTONS, in their raw, whole seeds (cause no nuts in this one!) and delicious date and cacao-y form.

PS. I still plan to make a bounty bar but for now…ENJOY!!!!!

PLANT BASED, RAW, NUT FREE LAMINGTONS

Makes 25 pieces

Gluten free : Dairy Free : Vegan : Nut free

Base:

1/2 cup sunflower seeds

1/4 cup sesame seeds

1/4 cup raw cacao powder

1 cup medjool dates, pitted

No sponge-sponge:

2 cups desiccated coconut

1/4 cup coconut oil

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla

pinch sea salt

Chocolate:

1/3 cup coconut oil, melted

1/3 cup raw cacao powder

3 tablespoons maple

Extra desiccated coconut for sprinkling on top

Place ingredients for base in a food processor and blitz to a crumb, then press into a lined 25x25cm cake tin or dish.

Blend ingredients for sponge in the food processor until it comes together, then press on top of base.

Whisk together ingredients for chocolate in a bowl and pour over the top of the coconut (this was the step where I was meant to do something else to make it a bounty but didn’t!), sprinkle with extra coconut and place in freezer to set for 3-4 hours.

Slice into pieces and serve.

Store in fridge or freezer up to 2 weeks.
