One Bowl Berry Coffee Cake

I had some berries they weren’t being eaten so I made this delicious berry cake. I had fresh berries but you could also use frozen. This cake is so easy to make, and you only need one bowl. I think it would also taste great with cranberries and lemon extract instead of almond.  One Bowl Berry Coffee Cake Makes 1 11x7” Cake Ingredients 2 cups fresh berries (I used blueberries and strawberries)  1/4 cup brown sugar 3/4 cup white sugar 1/4 cup butter, melted 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon almond extract 2 large eggs 3/4 cup sour cream 1/4 cup milk 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup sliced or sliced almonds Brown sugar for topping Directions Preheat the oven to 350F and grease an 11”x7” baking dish. Combine berries and brown sugar in a bowl. Set aside.  Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl.

Maple Cinnamon Chickpeas

Chickpeas make a great little snack for humans, but dogs like them too. My dogs stuck their tongues in the bowl before I had the chance to really enjoy them. I only got a small handful. I was going to sit down with them and enjoy a nice movie, but it didn't happen. Never leave food unattended for even 3 seconds, when there are animals in the house.

**Do not throw away your canned chickpea liquid (aka aquafaba). You'll want to use it to make chocolate chip cookies later!


Maple Cinnamon Chickpeas

Ingredients
  • 1 15oz can of chickpeas (or 1 ½ cups cooked chickpeas is fine)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
  2. First, drain, rinse and dry (with paper towel) your chickpeas.
  3. Spread the chickpeas onto parchment lined cookie sheets, so that they're in a single layer.
  4. Bake them for about 30 minutes, tossing them every now and then so they don't burn on one side. They should be almost crispy. Taste one.
  5. Combine the syrup, cinnamon and coconut oil in a bowl and toss the hot chickpeas in the mixture. The coconut oil will melt if it wasn't already melted.
  6. Place the chickpeas back on the baking sheets and cook for another 10 minutes or so, tossing them at least once.
  7. Let them cool a little before you eat them, and remember to hide them from the pets!
