Zen Basil Vegan Protein Bread

Zen Basil Seed Vegan Protein Bread

Nutrient Rich, Grain Free, Dairy Free, Gluten Free, and Keto Friendly!

INGREDIENTS

2 Tbsp Zen Basil Seeds

1 cup coconut flour

½ cup almond flour

2 Scoops 20/20 Plant Protein Powder

2 tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

2 ¼ cups lukewarm water

2 tsp apple cider vinegar


Process

Set the oven to 350 degrees. Line a loaf pan 9 inches x 5 inches with parchment paper and set aside for later. Mix all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, whisk together. Add the apple cider vinegar and lukewarm water. After 30 seconds, the dough will be moist, and slightly crumble apart. Use your hands to form the dough and make a ball. Form a dough ball and set it aside for 10 minutes to let the fiber absorb all the water and hold the ingredients together. Now the dough should be soft, elastic, and slightly moist but should hold perfectly together.

Shape a cylinder, bread loaf shape. Don't press the dough too much. It's a gluten-free loaf, it won't rise. If you press too much, it will be very dense and doughy. Place the loaf onto the prepared loaf pan covered with parchment paper.

Lastly, wet your fingers with water and massage the top of the bread to fix any cracks. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp of sesame seeds (optional).

Bake on the bottom rack of the oven (first rack from the bottom) for 45 minutes then switch to the middle rack for 15 extra minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack for 4 hours, or overnight before slicing.

Seal and Store in the refrigerator.

Zen Basil Seed Homemade Hamentaschen

Zen Basil Seed Hamentaschen

Made by Tanya Zuckerbrot

INGREDIENTS (serves 12):

DOUGH

  • 1 cup blanched almond flour

  • 1/4 cup coconut flour

  • 1/2 cup (2 scoops) vanilla 20/20 fiber/protein powder

  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

  • 1 Tbsp unsweetened vanilla almond milk

  • 3 Tbsp coconut oil (melted)

  • 2 large egg whites

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

FILLING

  • 1/2 cup sugar-free fruit flavor jam of choice

OR

  • 1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen), washed and chopped

  • 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 Tbsp stevia, or other nonnutritive sweetener

  • 1 Tbsp Zen Basil Seeds

PREPARATIONS:

  1. Line 1-2 baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

  2. In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, 20/20 powder, sea salt and baking powder. Set aside.

  3. In a small bowl, whisk coconut oil, almond milk, vanilla extract, and egg whites until well combined. Pour mixture into the medium bowl and fold until a dough forms. Cover bowl with saran wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Dough should be pliable but not crumbly or stiff; add a little more almond milk, a teaspoon at a time, if too dry.

  4. While dough chills, prepare filling by adding chopped raspberries to a saucepan and placing over medium heat. Cook until raspberries break down, ~3-8 minutes (depending on if using fresh or frozen). Using the back of a spoon, a spatula or a potato masher, mash fruit to desired consistency.

  5. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice and sweetener (adding 1-2 tsp of both if needed). Stir in basil seeds, 1 tsp at a time and set aside to cool and allow seeds to expand. Leftover jam can be stored in mason jar in fridge for up to 2 weeks.

  6. After dough has chilled for an hour, remove from fridge and place on parchment paper. Place another piece of parchment paper atop dough and using a rolling pin, roll dough out to ~⅛ inch thickness.

  7. Using a 3 inch round cookie cutter, cut out cookie rounds and transfer to prepared baking sheet(s), placing cookies ~1.5 inches apart. Gather the scrap dough, roll, and repeat until you have 24 cookie rounds.

  8. Spoon 1 teaspoon of prepared jam in the center of each round cookies. Using your fingers fold in the sides, slightly overlapping the filling, to form a triangle so that each side of the cookie has a corner that folds over and a corner that folds under. Pinch the corners together neatly so that they form a point. Place cookie sheets into the refrigerator for 20 minutes to chill. Preheat oven 350°F while cookies chill.

  9. Place baking sheet in oven and bake cookies for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool completely.
