No-Bake Lemon Poppy Seed Glazed Donut Holes

You guys!!! These No-Bake Lemon Poppy Seed Glazed Donut Holes are seriously a dream come true. After I made them this morning, I gave one to my husband. He took a bite and said, “This is why I love you.” These little snacks are sweetened with dried unsweetened and unsulfured apricots and a small amount of coconut nectar. The base is made with gluten-free oats and walnuts. If you don’t do walnuts, you could try subbing soaked sunflower seeds. I haven’t tried this substitution, so if you do, I’d love to hear how they turn out. I seriously love how many amazing products I can get from Mountain Rose Herbs. I love stocking my pantry and spice cabinet with their bulk goods. The vanilla bean powder in these donuts is definitely a splurge (and I think a worthy one), but the recipe works great with vanilla extract as well. Enjoy!

No-Bake Lemon Poppyseed Glazed Donut Holes
[Makes about 16 donuts]

Donuts:
1 ¼ cups gluten-free rolled oats
1 ½ cups raw walnuts
2/3 cup dried unsweetened and unsulfured apricots
1 teaspoon vanilla bean powder (or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or inside of 1 vanilla bean)
¼ cup melted coconut butter
¼ cup melted coconut oil
2 Tablespoons coconut nectar
¼ teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
Juice from 2 medium-size lemons
2 teaspoons lemon zest
¼ cup poppy seeds

Glaze:
6 Tablespoons melted coconut butter
2 Tablespoons melted coconut oil
2 teaspoons poppy seeds
1 teaspoon lemon zest + more for garnish

1.) Add all donut ingredients except poppy seeds to a food processor and process until dough forms and all ingredients are well mixed. Add the poppy seeds and pulse a few times until well combined. Dough will be wet and sticky.

2.) Form into about 16 balls of about 1 Tablespoon each. Place on a parchment paper lined tray and freeze for about an hour until firm.

3.) Once the balls are firm and chilled, make the glaze. Place a smaller bowl into a large bowl of hot/just boiled water to melt the coconut oil and butter and to keep everything liquified as you glaze the donuts. Add all ingredients to the smaller bowl and whisk until smooth. Dunk each donut in the glaze and roll until fully coated and return to the parchment-lined tray. The glaze should harden almost immediately since the donuts will be cold from the freezer. If the glaze doesn’t harden because you are in a warm climate, place the tray back into the freezer to harden.

Pistachio Thumbprint Cookies with Rose Cashew Cream

My annual cookie recipe is here! I’m not much of a baker, but the holidays always spark some creativity in me. See last year’s cookies, here. These grain-free, vegan Pistachio Thumbprint Cookies with Rose Cashew Cream are inspired by this recipe from the December issue of Bon Appetit. I wanted to create a healthier version of BA’s recipe and add rose because pistachio-rose is one of my favorite classic flavor combinations.

These cookies are SO easy to make, they’re insanely beautiful and they’re soft and pillowy like a cloud. The perfect addition to any holiday dessert spread. I could also see making these year round because they’re that good. If you aren’t crazy about the rose flavor, you could try using almond or peppermint extract in the cashew cream to switch it up.

Pistachio Thumbprint Cookies with Rose Cashew Cream
[Makes 24 cookies]

For the cookies:
4 cups almond meal
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 flax eggs (2 Tablespoons ground flax seed mixed with 5 Tablespoons water, let sit for 5-10 minutes)
1/2 cup pistachios, finely chopped
To garnish: Dried rose petals

For the cashew cream:
1 cup raw cashews, soaked in water in the refrigerator overnight or on the counter for 4-6 hours
1/4 cup nut mylk (I used homemade cashew mylk)
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
2 Tablespoons coconut nectar (or maple syrup)
2 Tablespoons sunflower lecithin
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon rosewater
Optional: 1 teaspoon pitaya powder OR a couple teaspoons of beet juice for pink color

1.) Preheat oven to 350°. Combine all ingredients except pistachios in a food processor and process until well-combined. Dough should be sticky and feel slightly greasy.

2.) Roll dough into 24 1-inch balls. Roll in the chopped pistachios, and place on 2 cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. Using your thumb, make an indentation about 3/4 of the way down into the center of each cookie. You might want to reform the edges of the cookies if any cracks form.

3.) Bake cookies in preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes.

4.) While cookies are baking, make cashew cream filling by combining all ingredients in a high-speed blender. Blend on high until very smooth (2-3 minutes)

5.) When the cookies are done baking, let sit for about 10 minutes or so until cool. Using a spoon, dollop some of the cashew cream into the thumbprint of each cookie. Top with dried rose petals, if using. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week.

Walnut Cardamom Bliss Balls

Holy bliss balls, you guys!!! These little gems are seriously delicious. My husband and I ate them yesterday on our way home from hiking in the snow to get our Christmas tree, and we were both saying how much they taste like little donut holes. All my favorite spice flavors all in a little ball. What could be better!? These balls are great for making in large batches and freezing. A fresh batch can be kept in the fridge or even on the counter if you prefer them to extra soft when eaten. I’m headed off to Breitenbush Hot Springs for a 2 1/2 day retreat with some lady friends. See you when I get back! XO

Walnut Cardamom Bliss Balls
[Makes about 15 balls]

2 cups walnuts
3 cups almond meal
1 cup medjool dates, pitted (about 8 dates)
1/2 cup extra virgin coconut oil, melted
2 teaspoons coconut flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cardamom
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 pinches pink salt
Optional: 2 teaspoons reishi (or adaptogen of choice – maca or cordyceps would also be delish!)

1.) Process all ingredients in food processor until a sticky dough forms.

2.) Gently roll into small round balls. Roll balls in dried coconut, chopped nuts or any other desired add-in. Enjoy!

[Balls will keep in freezer for 1-2 months or in the refrigerator for 1 week.]

Pumpkin Pie Dream Bars

They’re here!!! PUMPKIN PIE DREAM BARS! The autumnal follow up to my Pastel Coconut Cashew Dream Bars from the spring. And you guys, these babies are seriously to die for. I may like them even more than the originals. They’re like a cloud of pumpkin pie perfection. Definitely making these for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I hope you love them as much as I do!

If you don’t want your dream bars quite as thick, you could halve the filling recipe so there is just one layer of each filling. But honestly, I say just go for the double layer! If you are concerned about sugar, you could make these with half of the maple syrup. You could also use coconut nectar or any other sweetener of choice. I personally love the maple-pumpkin combination. A note on the sunflower lecithin: it says optional on the recipe, but I highly recommend using it. It will make the bars a bit more stable so they hold their shape better overall. I use this liquid sunflower lecithin. If you don’t want to buy it though, it’s not a break or great ingredient. I would recommend storing your Dream Bars in the freezer if you don’t use the lecithin. If you freeze them, move them to the refrigerator at least a few hours before serving to thaw. I did eat one (or maybe two) about 20-30 minutes after pulling them from the freezer, and they were almost like an ice cream cake, so there’s that. If you’re into ice cream cake 😉

Pumpkin Pie Dream Bars
[Makes 20 2″ square bars]

CRUST
1 cup raw walnuts
½ cup raw Brazil nuts
1 packed cup medjool dates, pitted and
1/8 teaspoon pink salt

FILLING
Vanilla layer:
3 cups cashews, soaked in refrigerator overnight
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 Tablespoon coconut oil
2 Tablespoon coconut butter
1 can full-fat coconut mylk
1 Tablespoon liquid sunflower lecithin (optional)
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
Pinch of pink salt

Pumpkin layer:
2 1/2 cup cashews, soaked in refrigerator overnight
1 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 Tbsp coconut oil
2 Tbsp coconut butter
1 can full-fat coconut mylk
1 Tablespoon liquid sunflower lecithin (optional)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ginger
Pinch of pink salt

TOPPING
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted in dry skillet for 5ish minutes then roughly chopped
1/2 cup toasted coconut chips (unsweetened)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cardamom
Pinch of pink salt

To make topping simply mix all ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.

Directions:

1.) In a food processor, blend the walnuts and brazil nuts into small pieces. Add the dates and salt and blend into a sticky dough.

2.) Line an 8×8 square pan with a strip of parchment paper or plastic wrap (this makes removing the bars from the pan easier). Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan evenly to create your crust. Transfer to the freezer while you make the vanilla and pumpkin layers.

3.) Drain and rinse the soaked cashews.

4.) *Make the vanilla layer: add all ingredients to a blender and blend on high for about 2 minutes until smooth. If you want to use even amounts of vanilla and pumpkin filling, measure out 1 cup of the vanilla layer and use a rubber spatula to spread the vanilla layer on top of your crust (if you do not care about having even layers of vanilla and pumpkin, simply spread all of the vanilla filling on top of the crust). Transfer back to the freezer to set for about an hour.

5.) Make the pumpkin layer: add all ingredients to a blender and blend on high about 2 minutes until smooth. If you want even layers of vanilla and pumpkin filling, measure out 1 cup of the pumpkin filling and use a rubber spatula to spread it on top of the vanilla layer (if you do not care about having even layers of vanilla and pumpkin, simply spread all of the pumpkin filling on top of the vanilla layer). Transfer back to the freezer to set for another hour alternating between layers. Once final layer in complete, sprinkle generously with topping and lightly press topping into filling. Transfer back to the freezer, and allow bars to set for 2-3 hours.

6.) Remove from freezer. Using the parchment paper or plastic wrap, pull up on both sides at the same time to remove from the pan. Using a sharp knife, cut into 2’’ x 2’’ squares. Bars will keep in the refrigerator for 3-5 days or in the freezer for a month. If you didn’t use lecithin, I recommend storing in the freezer.

* Note: If you have two blenders, simply make the pumpkin layer in one blender and the vanilla layer in the other. If you have one blender, make one layer at a time and rinse the blender between uses.

Soups + Salads

Favorite Summer Herbs + Cucumber-Cherry-Peanut Herbed Salad with Tamarind Dressing

Fresh herbs are my absolute favorite part about cooking. They’re what get me excited about being in the kitchen and creating new recipes. I never shy away from using them and playing around with combinations of herbs together. Mountain Rose Herbs is a wonderful resource for sourcing dried herbs in the off-seasons when fresh herbs may not be available. Basil, cilantro and mint are some of my favorite herbs for summer. They’re all versatile and work well on their own or combined together, like in the recipe below. I love serving this salad over quinoa or your favorite variety of rice. This allows the dressing to be absorbed while making it a more hearty meal.

BASIL
Pretty much screams summer. I love how versatile basil is. Use in savory preparations, sweet preparations (love it paired with blackberry), raw, cooked or dried. Flavor profile is peppery and minty with a touch of sweetness. For this recipe, I used Thai basil, which has a stronger flavor with hints of licorice, cinnamon and mint

CILANTRO
I really do feel bad for people who have the cilantro-tastes-like-soap gene. For those of us who don’t have it, cilantro has a bright, citrusy flavor profile. It’s best used fresh. The seeds (coriander) are amazing in dukkah.

MINT
Definitely one of my favorite herbs, both fresh and dried. Peppermint has a strong, cooling aftertaste while spearmint has a lighter and sweeter profile. Can be used in both sweet and savory preparations. Mint tea is one of my all-time favorite drinks. Can be made with fresh or dried leaf.

[This post is sponsored by Mountain Rose Herbs. All thoughts and opinions are my own.]

Cucumber-Cherry-Peanut Herbed Salad with Tamarind Dressing
[Serves 2-4]

For the salad:
2 cucumbers, de-seeded, peeled and sliced on a bias 1/4″ thick
2 Tablespoons fresh mint
2 Tablespoons fresh cilantro
2 Tablespoons fresh Thai basil
¾ cup cherries, halved and pitted
2 green onions (green part only), sliced thinly on bias
¼ cup dry roasted, unsalted peanuts, chopped
1 teaspoon red chili flakes

For the dressing:
1/8 cup Tamarind paste
1/8 cup olive oil
2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons raw honey
1 teaspoon salt

1.) Whisk together the dressing and combine with the cucumbers. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes.

2.) Meanwhile, prep all other ingredients. After cucumbers have marinated, toss with the other ingredients and serve. For a more hearty meal, serve salad over rice or quinoa.

Breakfast & Brunch

Garlic Scape + Hemp Seed Pesto

This breakfast toast is perfectly simple and tastes oh-so-freaking good! Topped with Manitoba Harvest Toasted Hemp Seeds for the ultimate savory crunch. This seasonal pesto features Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts, which give the pesto a creamy texture while adding 10-grams of protein for every 30-gram serving and all 10 essential amino acids. Hemp contains omega-3, omega-6, stearidonic acid (SDA) and the rare omega-6 Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA). GLA has been shown to help with cholesterol, inflammation, skin and hair health, balancing hormones and general heart health. Not to mention, hemp is a dual-crop plant, meaning that both parts of the plant are used. The stalk in clothing fiber and textile applications, and the top where all the seeds are for hemp food products. It’s one of the most sustainable crops for farmers to grow. You can read more about hemp, here.

I’ve been loving garlic scapes this season. Pesto is probably my favorite way to use them, but they’re also amazing roasted and eaten as a side dish or on top of a quinoa veggie bowl. This is really embarrassing, but I finally got my first food processor in May, so needless-to-say my pesto game has really improved. No more blender pesto. Yay!

[This post is sponsored by Manitoba Harvest. All thoughts and opinions are my own.]

Garlic Scape Arugula Pesto
[Makes about 2 cups]

For the pesto:
3/4 cup garlic scapes, chopped
2 cups arugula, packed tightly
Juice from 1/2 a lemon
1/4 cup Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt + pepper, to taste

For the toasts:
Gluten-free bread, toasted
Sunnyside up fried egg
Radishes, sliced thin
Manitoba Harvest Toasted Hemp Seeds
Salt + pepper, to taste

1.) In a food processor, combine all pesto ingredients and process to desired consistency. [Note: Store extra pesto in airtight container in there refrigerator for up to a week.]

2.) Assemble toasts by smearing toasted bread with pesto, top with fried egg and radishes. Sprinkle with Toasted Hemp Seeds, salt and pepper. Enjoy!

Main Courses

Roasted Kale, Romanesco and Chickpeas with Sorrel Sunflower Pesto

All the greens for St. Patrick’s Day! If you’ve never used sorrel before, this recipe is a great intro. Usually sorrel is green, so likely your pesto will be green. I found this very beautiful variety of red-veined sorrel at the farmers market here in Portland, so that’s why mine is a purply hue. Either way, it’s delicious. Sorrel is a tangy, lemony herb. It has a very bright taste and reminds me of spring. Sorrel is packed with vitamins A and C, which are great for boosting immunity. This pesto would also be a great addition to your morning eggs or mixed in with your favorite grain (rice, quinoa, millet).

This dish would be amazing with non-dairy or regular ricotta. I skipped it this time, but I’ve made this same meal with the ricotta addition, and it’s outstanding. I love this brand of almond mylk ricotta. I’m in the early phases of developing a vegan cheese and will definitely be sharing that recipe once I’ve perfected it. Vegan cheeses really have come a long way since the early days of plastic-y soy cheese. It’s so nice to be able to actually enjoy plant-based cheeses.

Roasted Kale, Romanesco and Chickpeas with Sorrel Sunflower Pesto
[Serves 2-4]

1 head romanesco, cut into florets
1 15 oz can chickpeas
1 bunch kale
2 Tablespoons avocado oil
Juice from 1 lemon
Salt + pepper, to taste
To garnish: lemon slices, non-dairy or regular ricotta cheese (optional)

For the pesto:
3 cups sorrel
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup sunflower seeds
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 clove garlic
Salt + pepper, to taste

1.) Preheat oven to 400° F. On a rimmed baking sheet, spread romanesco florets and chickpeas. Before roasting, toss with 1 Tablespoon of avocado oil, juice from 1/2 a lemon, salt and pepper. Roast for 12-15 minutes.

2.) Toss kale with 1 Tablespoon avocado oil, juice from 1/2 a lemon, salt and pepper. Spread kale out on a separate rimmed baking sheet, and roast in the oven for 5-10 minutes until kale is wilted and a bit crispy.

3.) Make pesto by blending all ingredients in a high-speed blender on medium-high for about 1-2 minutes, or until well combined.

4.) Toss kale with chickpeas and romanesco. Dollop a generous helping of pesto on each serving. Do the same with the ricotta, if using. Serve with a lemon slice. Enjoy!

Bite-Size Raw Coconut Matcha Macaroons

Well if you haven’t noticed, Wu Haus has a whole new look! Over the past few months, I’ve been working with a couple of talented people on Wu Haus’ new logo and site design. Not only does the site look different, but it is way easier to use. You can now search using the search tool in the navigation bar, and you can find a list of all my recipes in the Recipe Index. Yay! I hope you love it just as much as I do. Now for a new recipe!

These yummy bite-size treats are my go-to when I want something small and sweet-but-not-too-sweet. They’re quite easy to make. I prefer to dehydrate mine for a short amount of time so they get slightly crunchy on the outside, but that step is completely unnecessary. If you don’t have a dehydrator but you want the crunchy texture on the outside, just pop them in your oven on low heat (around 250°) for about 20ish minutes.

Raw Coconut Matcha Macaroons
[Makes 32 bite-size macaroons]

3 cups dried finely shredded coconut + 3 Tablespoons
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
1/3 cup almond meal
2 Tablespoons coconut nectar (raw honey or maple syrup work, too!)
1 1/2 teaspoons high-quality matcha
1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean powder
1/4 teaspoon pink salt

1.) In a food processor or high-speed blender, process the 3 cups of dried coconut and the melted coconut oil for 1-2 minutes. Add the almond meal, coconut nectar, matcha, vanilla and salt and process until well combined.

2.) Scrape dough into a mixing bowl and fold in additional 3 Tablespoons of dried coconut. Using a teaspoon or a cookie scoop, form bite-size balls. If dehydrating, place them on dehydrator trays. If not, place on parchment lined baking sheet.

3.) If dehydrating, dehydrate at 115° for about an hour. Be careful not to over dehydrate. If not, just chill macaroons in the refrigerator for an hour before eating. Store macaroons in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.

Breakfast & Brunch

Red Flannel Beet Hash with Dill from The First Mess Cookbook

You guys! The First Mess Cookbook is so amazing! I really can’t tell you how excited I am to share this recipe from Laura’s new book with you. If you aren’t already familiar with Laura’s blog, The First Mess, head over there and get acquainted. Her new book is available for pre-order here in the US and will be released on March 7th. I mean, just look at that gorgeous cover. Seriously stunning.

This hash is perfect for weekend brunch. I love the vibrant color the beets lend to the potatoes when they’re cooked together. And fresh dill has to be one of my favorite herbs. I served this hash with sunny-side-up eggs on the side. It would also be delicious with the eggs baked right in. If you want to try that: after following the recipe below, remove hash from heat. Make 3-5 holes (depending on how many eggs you want to make) in the hash for the eggs to sit. Crack one egg into each hole. Bake in a preheated 350° oven for about 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow eggs to set for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Red Flannel Beet Hash with Dill
[Serves 4-6]

2 medium Yukon gold potatoes, chopped into 1-inch pieces
2 medium beets, chopped into 1/2″ pieces
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 Tablespoons avocado or olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 teaspoon ground coriander
Salt + pepper, to taste
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup lightly packed fresh dill (about 3 sprigs)
1/2 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and chopped

1.) Place the chopped potatoes and beets into a large saucepan or braised-style pot. Cover the vegetables with cold water by 1 inch. Add the apple cider vinegar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender and the beets are just tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the vegetables and set aside.

2.) Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until lightly soft, about 3-5 minutes. Add the coriander, salt and pepper and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

3.) Add the drained potatoes and beets to the skillet and spread them out in a single layer. Let sit for 5 minutes before stirring. Flip and stir the hash every 5 minutes. Cook the hash for 20 minutes, or until the edges of the potatoes begin to crisp.

4.) Lightly toss the hash with the green onions and dill. Serve the hash hot with chopped avocado on top.
