Layered Maple Oat n’ Apple Dessert Jars

Vegan, Gluten free, Dairy free, Refined sugar free, Yeast free, Corn free

Maple and toasted walnut cookie, layered with dates, maple almond butter, and shelled flax.

Ingredients

Maple Flax

• 1/2 cup flax seed
• 1 tbsp maple syrup

Apple Crumble Cookie

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/3 cup coconut oil
• 1/4 cup coconut/palm sugar
• 1 chia egg [2 tsp ground chia seed + 3 tbsp water]
• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 pinch white stevia powder
• 1/2 granny smith apple, diced fine
• 1/2 cup walnuts, roasted

Dates

• 8 medjool dates, pitted and halved [2 dates/jar]

Maple Mystery Butter

• 1/4 cup maple mystery butter

• 4 random jars
• 1 tbsp coconut oil for greasing jars

Directions

To make maple flax: place flax seed in a Ziploc bag and place on the cutting board. Take a flat object [the bottom of a saucepan works nice] and hit the bag a couple of times until the germ separates from the shell for many of the seeds. Place shelled flax seeds in a small bowl and combine with maple syrup. Set aside

To make apple crumble cookie: preheat oven to 170F and line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicon baking mat. Place walnuts on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes, stirring once half way through. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Then, combine ground flax + water in a small bowl. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside. In a small bowl, beat coconut oil and sugar. Add flax egg, vanilla extract, and stevia and mix well. Pour wet into dry and stir to combine before adding apple, chopped walnuts. Set aside.

Making the magic happen: preheat oven to 350F and fill a 9×9 square inch pan with 1 inch of water. Set aside. Place a dab of coconut oil in each of your jars and place them in the microwave for 30 seconds [or until oil is melted]. Remove from microwave and use fingers to oil the inside of the jar. Place 2-3 tbsp of cookie mixture at the bottom, followed by 2 dates, then 1 tbsp mystery butter, followed by another 2-3 tbsp of cookie mixture. Top it all off with your maple flax and place in prepared pan.

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until you see the cookie layer pull away from the glass. Remove from oven and take jars out of water bath. Allow to cool for 30 minutes before diving in!

Makes ~4 jars, depending on what size jars you use.

2. Bake for about 20-30 minutes or until tooth pick comes out clean when inserted.

This was so delicious. I am happy I tried it for breakfast. I used less oatmeal then the zucchini because I’m really not supposed to be eating oatmeal on a paleo diet. But it’s healthy! & delicious. I want to eat like ten more!

Tell me what I can’t do…

I was asked to do a review of “healthy” Jamba Juice smoothies…. 

I went to the website and poked around a bit, trying to find something I would personally consume… I was pretty shocked to see the amount of sugar in most of these smoothies! I haven’t been to Jamba Juice since Sophmore year of college… and now I see that I might have made a good choice. While I realize that most of the smoothies contain sugar primarily from natural sources such as fruit, there is still a whole lot of it confined to one cup and coming from things like sherbet and juice…. sans any protein, healthy fats or much fiber. 

I guess if I am being asked for a recommendation on what to get if you do decide to swing by there, choose a size “Sixteen” of something that is lower in sugar (ones without the added sherbet), high in fiber, and get a “boost” of protein powder. It appears that the “Jamba Light” are the better options… however I can’t seem to find the ingredient list. 
Of course my other recommendation would be to make your own at home! That way you can make them lower in sugar, and higher in other nutrients! Give this recipe a try… =)

 My Very Berry Healthy Smoothie:

• 1 Scoop Vanilla protein powder
• 1 Cup unsweetened coconut milk
• 1 serving frozen mixed berries
• 1 Tablespoon natural peanut butter
• 1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (optional)
• 3-5 Ice cubes

Blend and enjoy! =)
