Avocado Tahini Dip -- GF, DF, V

8/8/2025

0 Comments

 
This guacamole-hummus hybrid is a super savory, satisfying dip. Serve alongside your favorite crudites and some grain-free crackers.

Makes about 2 Cups

  • 2 large avocados
  • ¼ C plus 1 TBS tahini
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • About ¼ C fresh lemon juice
  • Kosher salt, to taste

Combine the avocados, tahini, garlic, and lemon juice in a food processor. Blend for a couple of minutes until well combined and smooth. The texture should be like a thick frosting, dense and slightly fluffy at the same time. Add water a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Taste and salt as needed. Serve with crudites or crackers.

Apple Cinnamon Muffins -- GF, DF

8/8/2025

Try these light and fluffy muffins for a healthy treat. They taste better after resting for a few hours, if they last that long.

Makes 12
​
  • 1 ¼ C gluten free flour (Bob’s Red Mill blue bag is best)
  • ½ C almond flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 C grated apple
  • 1 C apple, diced into ¼” cubes
  • ⅓ C avocado oil (olive oil also works)
  • ½ C maple syrup
  • 2 eggs, preferably at room temp
  • ½ C vegan buttermilk*
  • ½ C applesauce
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbs turbinado sugar

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flours, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Blend well with a whisk. Add the grated apple (if it is dripping wet, gently squeeze it over the sink to release some extra moisture) and chopped apple. Stir to combine. 

In a medium mixing bowl, combine oil and maple syrup. Beat together with a whisk. Add the eggs, beat well, then add the buttermilk, applesauce, and vanilla and mix well. 

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix with a big spoon, just until combined. The batter will be thick! Divide batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with turbinado sugar. Bake muffins for 13-16 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Place the muffins on a cooling rack. You can store them in a covered container at room temp for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

*Vegan buttermilk is very easy to make! I prefer using almond milk in baked goods for its neutral flavor, but you can use any plant based milk. Coconut milk is good for baking due to its fat content, but it does add a little bit of coconut flavor to your baked goods. Measure out a scant ½ C of almond milk and add 1 ½ tsp of vinegar or lemon juice. Whisk together with a fork and let it rest for 5 minutes before adding it to your other liquid ingredients.
