Healthy Caramel Apples

This is one healthy Halloween treat you’ll want to share with your kids and their friends! Apples are a wonderful source of fiber, pectin, minerals, and complex carbs.

6 apples, medium
20 medjool dates, pitted
1/2 cup warm water
3 tablespoons raw almond butter
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
6 sticks
1/4 cup crushed nuts of your choice, optional

Soak the dates in the warm water for an hour. Drain off the soak water and set aside. Combine soaked dates, almond butter, cinnamon, sea salt and 3 tablespoons of the soak water in the food processor. Blend for several minutes to reach a very smooth consistency. Use a tablespoon to spread the mixture on the apple. Roll in crushed nuts. Click for complete nutritional info.

Miranda's Banana Pancakes (Paleo style)

Ingredients:
2 eggs
½ C of unsweetened applesauce
½ C of nut butter (I prefer sun butter)
½ tsp. of vanilla
½ tsp of raw honey or agave nectar (optional depending on your diet)
1 really, really ripe banana mashed

Seasonings, I just used a ½ tsp of cinnamon, but you could add nutmeg too

*makes about 8 pancakes*


Grease your fry pan, heat on medium low heat. Mix all ingredients together. Once the pan is warm spoon the batter into the pan and spread it out thin. The batter will be thick, but you have to use your spoon to thin it out and form the cakes. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes, once your bubbles appear flip and cook on the other side.

Serve with banana slices, raspberries or strawberries. You can make the batter ahead of time minus the egg, if you are short on time in the mornings.

Enjoy!
