If you’re like me, you work until the last minute before Thanksgiving. And it sucks! Slave to the wage. But, your eating experience doesn’t have to be a disaster. Try these treats that are easy and simple that you can prepare ahead of time (Sunday) and then have them ready for Thursday. Just don’t eat it all before then. Haha!
Dough:
· 2 ½ cups oats
· 1 ½ cup almond flour
· 1 ½ cup oat flour (You can blend oats into oat flour)
· 1 ½ bananas, mashed
· ¼ cup dates, pitted
· ¼ cup hot water
· 2 tsp baking powder
· ½ cup of coconut milk
Apple Filling
· 5 small granny smith apples, diced
· 2 teaspoons cinnamon
· 1 ½ tablespoon arrowroot powder (or cornstarch)
· 2 teaspoons coconut oil
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Blend hot water and dates into a paste.
3. Mix date paste with dough ingredients by hand in a bowl. Form into a dough.
4. Remove 1/3 of dough and set aside.
5. Press the remainder of the dough into a baking dish (13 in. x 9 in.).
6. Heat coconut oil in a pot. Add apples and cinnamon.
7. When apples cook down and release water, add arrowroot powder/cornstarch. The apple filling will thicken.
8. Spread apple filling over the pressed dough.
9. Crumble remainder of the dough over the apple filling.
10. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before cutting.
