Sugar Free Vegan Emmer Banana Bread

This refined sugar-free banana bread is very simple, quick, yet delicious, nutritious, and makes a wonderful breakfast or snack for the family. While most banana bread recipes contain sugar, dairy and eggs, this vegan variation uses none of them, but is still moist and delicious. Feel free to substitute wholewheat flour for emmer flour and almond milk for soya milk.

290 g Emmer grain, ground into flour
1/2 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Cinnamon powder
1 tbsp Chia seeds
50 g Walnuts
6 Pitted dates, roughly chopped
250 ml Soya milk
70 g Maple syrup
30 g Macadamia oil
3 Overripe bananas, mashed

Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper.
Whisk together the ground emmer flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and chia seeds in a mixing bowl. Pulse walnuts and pitted dates until you have small pieces. Add to the flour mixture.
In another bowl, mix soya milk, maple syrup, and macadamia oil until well combined. Add in mashed bananas and mix well.
Pour the liquid to the dry mixture, stir until well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the middle rack of hot oven for about 1 hour.

Avocado Milk Chocolate Mousse Tartlets

A decadently rich and irresistibly creamy avocado chocolate mousse on a oat-nut-date base that is not only delicious, also very healthy. The secret ingredient for the mousse is the heart-healthy avocado which has a creamy nutty flavour that works well with chocolate. If you have a milk allergy, substitute milk chocolate with dark one.

Crust	Filling
3 tbsp Orange juice 50 g Oat flakes 80 g Dried dates 50 g Almonds 2 tsp Cocoa powder	2 Ripe avocados, pitted and peeled 100 g Milk chocolate, cut into smaller pieces 1-2 tbsp Coconut oil, melted 1 tsp Lime juice 1 tbsp Maple syrup 1 tsp Vanilla extract Pinch of ses salt

Mix 2 tablespoons of orange juice with oats. Quarter the dried dates. Pulse dates and almonds in a food processor until they turn into crumbs. Add in 1 tablespoon of orange juice. Mix the almond-date-mixture with oats and cocoa powder. Press into three 12-cm tartlet moulds and put in the fridge.
Place the chopped chocolate in a small bowl. Place over a small saucepan of barely simmering water. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
Using a food processor, blend the melted milk chocolate, melted coconut oil, avocados, lime juice, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until smooth and creamy, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
Divide the mousse into tartlet cases and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Grate some milk chocolate over and arrange some avocado slices or fresh berries atop.
