Apple Carrot Pi-Ky Muffins

Another successful "cooking club" with my kids! This recipe was AWESOME!  We found the idea on superhealthykids.com and changed it up a bit.  Whole wheat, no refined sugar and amazingly yummy!


Ingredients:
1 1/2 Whole Wheat Flour
3/4 C flaxseed meal
3/4 C oat flour (by grinding oats in the blender)
1/2 C honey
1/4 C molasses
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
2 C shredded carrots
2 C shredded apples
3/4 C milk
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 C dried cranberries

Directions:
We just mixed everything together with a spatula in a large bowl.
 Spoon into sprayed muffin tins and Bake at 350 for 15 minutes!
Where did the name come from?  My son named them! :)

Sunflower Cookies

My sons school has some great after-school programs offered.  When they sent home the list of Winter activities available he said he wanted to sign up for cooking club and basketball club.  Sadly when I went to register on the morning you could, cooking club was already full.  But I decided to take advantage of this.  So we started our own cooking club after school on Thursdays!  This was the 1st recipe we decided to do for it!  I think it was a hit!

Ingredients:
1 C sunflower kernals
1/4 C ground flax seed
1/4 C coconut flakes
1 TBLS honey
Dash of salt
1/4 C cold water

Directions:
Place sunflower kernals in a blender and grind until it's the texture of a coarse meal.  Place seed meal into a bowl and add remaining ingredients.  Stir with a spoon, then spoon batter onto wax paper.  Cover with another piece of wax paper and roll out with a rolling pin until 1/4-1/8 inch thick.

Take off the top wax paper and use cookie cutters to cut out shapes.  I then used a spatula to transfer them from the wax paper to the cookie sheet.  Place shapes on a cookie sheet (sprayed with olive oil) and bake at 300 for 15 minutes.
We loved these dipped in yogurt!
Awesome find!
