Chocolate Pumpkin Almond Butter Cups

Alright y’all- todayyyyy I’m sharing a super good recipe that has also helped me through some almost hangry moments this past week.
.
I gotta say this wasn’t an intentional recipe, but ya know when you open a can of pumpkin for a recipe and then have the rest of the can sit in your fridge until it molds? Well I wasn’t about to let that happen again. So I had to think of something that didn’t involve the oven (fall has not shown up here) and I came up with these magic cups. Vvvvvery happy with how they turned out- I hope if you try them out for yourself, that you’ll love them too! Recipe and directions below:
.
Chocolate Pumpkin Almond Butter Cups
Recipe by The Daily Kale

Base Layer:
3/4 cup almond flour
4 tbsp cacao powder (@navitasorganics )
6 tbsp almond butter
5 tbsp maple syrup (@choczero )
Pinch of pumpkin spice
Pinch of salt
.
Filling:
2 tbsp pumpkin purée
3 tbsp maple syrup
4 tbsp almond butter
1 tbsp coconut flour
.
Chocolate Topping:
1/2 coconut cream
1/2 cup chocolate chips (@lilys_sweets )
1 tbsp maple syrup
.
The brands tagged are personally the ones I use (and love) and also they are all sugar free - but feel free to substitute to the brands you have :)

Directions:
For the base layer, stir all dry ingredients together. Then add in the syrup and almond butter. And mix, it will be a little bit crumbly.

Take 8 silicone molds and press evenly into the bottom of each of the molds. When you press them into the bottom it will stay together. *Watch my stories for the video of how I did it*.

For the filing: mix everything together except for the flour, until it’s fully combined. Then add in the flour and stir once again. With a spoon, place evenly on top of the base layer in the molds. Place in freezer, while you make the chocolate topping.

Using a double boiler method- or if you actually have one, place the coconut cream and then add in the chips and the syrup and stir until melted and creamy. (try not to eat all of this goodness at this moment, cause this part is soooooo good omgah).

Take out of freezer and place the creamy chocolate evenly on top of each one.
Store in the fridge for at least an hour so it can set. Then enjoyyyyyy

Happy Monday folks! I made these last week- they are melt in your mouth... super delicious. Y’all know I love all things chocolate - but also trying to be festive, so I had to add my twist on it. I gotta mention these were pretty easy to make too! Please let me know if y’all make them :) love seeing your re-creations. 

Recipe by The Daily Kale

Pecan Pie Filling:
1 cup pecans
1/4 cup cashews (sub almonds or walnuts)
4 tbsp maple syrup (I used @choczero)
2 tbsp coconut oil
pinch of salt
Bake just the pecans and cashews for 7 minutes at 350. Then cool. Add to blender with other ingredients and blend until it becomes a nut butter consistency. About 3-5 minutes.

Chocolate cups:
1 cup chocolate chips ( I used @lilys_sweets )
6 tbsp coconut cream
Pinch of salt

Directions:
Using a double boiler or make shift method like I do, stir everything together until completely smooth and creamy.
.
In 6 silicone cups, place 1 tbsp of the chocolate mixture in each. Freeze for 10 minutes. Place 1 tbsp of the pecan pie butter in each cup. Freeze for another 10-15 minutes.
Top each cup evenly with the rest of the chocolate mixture. 1-2 tbsp in each on top. Freeze for another 10 minutes to set. I kept these refrigerated, but you can keep them in the freezer and bring them out a few minutes before enjoying :)

Teriyaki Salmon Taco with Spicy Mayo

Man oh man did this hit the spot! (They are also low carb/keto) *Recipe below* You can easily swap out the salmon for chicken or tofu if you prefer. Either way— enjoy the beauty of flavorzzzz. I’m inviting all of you and @guyfieri to my flavor town.
.
Details: Teriyaki salmon, purple cabbage, yellow bell pepper, scallions, sesame seeds, spicy mayo, all on a tortilla by @unbunfoods -(and I freakin love these tortillas so much!).
.
Teriyaki sauce:
4 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
1 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tbsp @lakanto golden (or coconut sugar)
1/2 tsp ginger powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
Pinch of cayenne (omit if you don’t like spicy)
1/2 tsp tapioca or cornstarch* see notes
.
Mix everything together except tapioca/ cornstarch in a small bowl. Pour half of this mixture on salmon and sauté in pan or bake until done. Add the tapioca/ corn starch to the rest of the mixture and stir. When finished cooking, place salmon in a pan on low heat and add the rest of the mixture to the pan. It will become a glaze like texture in about a minute. Stir salmon around so it’s fully coated.
.
Spicy Mayo:
1/4 cup mayo (I used @primalkitchenfoods )
1 tbsp tamari
1 tbsp sriracha
1 tsp golden monkfruit (or any type of granulated sugar)

Stir all ingredients together in a small bowl.

.
Let me know if y’all happen to try my recipe out

Wontons in Spicy Garlic Chili Oil (Keto, Paleo + Vegan Option)

So exciiiiiited to share this recipe with ya'll! I was so happy with how these turned out. The flavors were a dream! I must admit I get bored real quick eating just a protein with a vegetable, so I'm always trying to re-create well known recipes and make them healthy and low carb. So when it works- very exciting. I should also mention the way I shaped these at the end are definitely not authentic to a real wonton. But I was playing around with it and trying to figure out how to shape it, to make it work. So you go ahead and shape it whatever way you want! There are no rules in my kitchen! Just flavor and fun :)

Wontons in Spicy Garlic Chili Oil
Recipe by: The Daily Kale

Ingredients:

Wonton dough:
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
Pinch of garlic powder
2 tbsp. psyllium husk powder
1 tsp Xanthan gum
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 cup warm water

Filling:
1/2 pound chicken
1 tbsp. tamari
4 tbsp. scallions (chopped)
1 tsp sesame oil
pinch of black pepper
pinch of garlic powder

Garlic Chili Oil:
2 garlic cloves (chopped)
1 tsp. olive oil
3 tbsp. chili oil
1 tbsp. golden monk fruit (Lakanto)
2 tbsp. tamari
1 tsp. Sesame Oil
Pinch of Black pepper
1/2 tsp Tapioca Flour or corn starch

Directions:

For the dough:
  1. Stir together all the dry ingredients first.
  2. Then add in the olive oil and 1/2 of the water. Slowly stirring until combined.
  3. Slowly add in the rest of the water and continue to stir together. It will be sticky.
  4. Set aside for 5 minutes so the mixture can set and come together better.
  5. You will be able to knead the dough, do this and form into a big ball.
  6. Cut the ball in to 8 even pieces.
  7. Take two pieces of parchment paper and place 1 ball in between.
  8. Flatten out with your hands into a square shape.
  9. Place 1 tbsp. of the filling in the middle, and fold the other side on top in a triangle shape.
  10. Take a little water with your finger and run it along the edge and press down to make sure the sides are closed.
  11. Take the bottom part of the triangle and press inside. The top part of the wonton should be pressed together and pointed up. ​*Refer to the Images below on how I shaped it!*

How to cook the wontons:
  • Place the wontons gently in a sprayed pan, and cook on a medium heat for 3-5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle a little water into the pan with your hand and cover with a lid immediately so the steam will cook the top part of the wontons.
  • Cook for about 3 more minutes on a low heat, covered.


For the filling:
  • Sauté the chicken in a pan until cooked all the way through.
  • Add in the other filling ingredients and mix together.

For the oil:
  • In a small sauce pan place the olive oil and chopped garlic on a low heat and cook until fragrant.
  • Add in the other ingredients except the Tapioca flour. Mix together well until combined.
  • Turn off and take off of the heat, and add in the Tapioca and stir until it comes together as a glaze. This will happen fast and you want to make sure not to over cook this or it will get sticky!
  • Pour over the wontons. And enjoy!
