FROM THE KITCHENS OF: THE BLENDEREST BAKED-THE BLOG MY DAILY RANDOMNESS FOOD WELL SAID JASMINE created The Blenderist as a way to share her favourite blender based recipes. She loves the challenge of creating satisfying desserts from whole, nutrient dense ingredients. Most of her recipes are gluten-free and many of them are vegan, but The Blenderist is not a diet blog. It’s about celebrating the foods that make you feel good. Jasmine’s true culinary love is chocolate. She recently received a Professional Chocolatier certificate from Ecole Chocolat. She considers chocolate a health food. When she’s not working on her website, Jasmine serves as Managing Director of a boutique creative agency she runs with her partner Christopher. They dream of one day buying a huge loft in Vancouver with plenty of space for a ping pong table. Nutty Grain-free Crackers 1 cup almond flour 1 Tbsp coconut flour 1 Tbsp flax meal 1 Tbsp sunflower or hemp seeds 1 egg 1 Tbsp melted butter Pinch of salt Preheat oven to 325ºF. Mix all ingredients together in a blender, mixer, food processor or bowl until the dough comes together in a firm ball. EATIN FOOD BLOGGER SPOTLIGHT Roll the dough out between two pieces of parchment paper until it is about 1/8” thick. Cut the dough out with a small cookie cutter or use a knife/pizza cutter to score 1 inch squares on the dough. Bake the crackers for approximately 20 minutes, rotating the tray every 5 minutes. When you rotate the tray, check for crackers that are browning quickly. Remove the individual crackers so they don’t burn before returning the tray to the oven. After all the crackers are golden brown, remove them from the tray and let them cool about 20 minutes before eating. 64 WWW.EATINEATOUT.CA
