Real Food – Minimal Ingredients – Full of Flavor
Sometimes referred to as Brazilian Cheese Bread, these little popover-like rolls are a great side for chili, soup, or really any meal. You can make these dairy free with dairy free cheese; however, I have not found a dairy free cheese without ingredients that cause me pause. BUT, for many people with food sensitivities which are not extreme and follow the 80 / 20 rule, these can be a great addition to your 20%!
Did you eat fig bars growing up? I was on the fence about them, so when I started working on this recipe, I wanted to change it up a little, hence the oatmeal base for the crust. If you look at the ingredients on the traditional bars, you’ll see the following:
Figs, Whole Grain Wheat Flour, Invert Sugar, Unbleached Enriched Flour (Wheat Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate {Vitamin B1}, Riboflavin {Vitamin B2}, Folic Acid), Corn Syrup, Sugar, Canola Oil, Palm Oil, Salt, Baking Soda, Calcium Lactate, Malic Acid, Soy Lecithin, Sodium Benzoate (Added To Preserve Freshness), Natural And Artificial Flavor, Sulfur Dioxide [(Sulfites) Added To Preserve Freshness].Contains: Wheat, Soy.
My husband and I grew up on angel food cake with whipped strawberry topping – it was the one we each requested for our birthdays (just one more reason we make a good team!).
These peanut butter (or any nut butter) crispies are reminiscent of childhood with a flavor boost of peanut butter. They are the perfect snack or meal component and offer just the right amount of sweetness. You can customize these with a variety of add-ins, so take the recipe as a template and be creative!
Searching for just the right product(s) to use in your meal prep or carry with you during the day that fit your food sensitivities or dietary needs can take too long. You get demotivated and decide to either not eat or to compromise your plan.
