Recipes from a Kitchen in Berkeley CA

 

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/4 cup rolled oat
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour
  • 1/3 cup coconut flour
  • 1/3 cup almond flour
  • 1/3 cup pea protein
  • 1/3 cup hemp seeds
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 7 oz unsalted butter chilled, cut into small cubes, or coconut oil
  • 1 1/2 tsp allspice or 5 spice blend
  • 3/4 cup pecans roughly chopped
  • 2 baking apples cubed 1/4 inch
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 10 oz unsweetened apple sauce

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Butter the bottom of the dish. Line a 2-quart 9x13 rectangular baking dish with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients with a large spatula, or wooden spatula until you get a homogeneous dough-like mixture.
  4. Distribute the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it down firmly. Run a rubber spatula of the top to make it flat and even. If using coconut oil instead of butter, refrigerate the shaped doughs for at least 30 min. Bake for 40-55 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a cooling rack for at least 30 min.
