Oh Monday! That means 7 days until Christmas eve. I promise I won’t do a day by day count down but I do love this time of year so I can’t avoid sharing my excitement either.
But today’s Lifting Revolution Fitness And Nutrition show is about the holidays. A sweat packed workout and some sweet treat ideas that you can enjoy afterwards!
This week’s episode includes:
-The Great Ho Ho Ho Workout
-Healthy Holiday Baked Goodies Perfect For Gifts
Chocolate Coconut Holiday Biscotti {Vegan}
Dry:
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 + 1 tbsp Coconut flour
- 10 packets stevia (or 3/4 cup sugar)
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (vegan)
- 1 tbsp coconut flakes
Wet:
- 1/4 cup oil (I used peanut oil)
- 1/2 cup + 1.5 tbsp almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
Directions:
- Preheat oven 350-degrees.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together all dry ingredients except the chocolate chips and coconut flakes. In a separate bowl, stir together wet ingredients. Add the wet to the dry and mix until dough like.
- Fold in chocolate chips and coconut.
- Divide the dough into two, and mold each into log. Each will be about 3 inches thick and 6-8 inches long and 3/4 inches thick (doesn’t have to be exact here).
- Place on a cookie sheet and cook for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, remove from oven and allow to cool enough to handle.
- Slice at an angle your biscotti, each will be about 3/4 – 1 inch thick.
- Place back on the baking sheet, cut side up and cook for another 10 minutes.
- Flip each slice over and cook for another 7 minutes.
- Remove and allow to cool.
Chocolate Drizzle:
Melt dark chocolate and drizzle over ends, I added a dash of peppermint extract to the melted chocolate for a bit more “wow” but it’s not necessary. You can also dip the ends if desired.
Vegan Chocolate Chip Jars
You’ll need 2-cup mason jars (available at most grocery stores).
In each jar goes:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar*
- 8 packs stevia*
- Small handful of dark chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut flakes
- 1 tbsp blueberries, dried
- 1 tbsp cranberries, dried
*If you don’t have stevia packets, you can simply use 1/2 cup of brown sugar all together.
What they’ll need to add:
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 2 tbsp water
