Vanilla Pumpkin Seed Clusters
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1 tsp l.c. finns vanilla extract
- 2 tsp honey
- 2 tsp coconut sugar
- hot water
- Preheat oven to 350
- In a medium bowl, combine the honey, coconut sugar and vanilla. You can substitute l.c. finns cinnamon extract if you want to change it up. Stir together to create a thick paste then add a small drop of hot water to thin it out and create a runny syrup.
- Pour in the pumpkin seeds and stir them around in the mixture to evenly coat them.
- Dollop a generous tsp full of the pumpkin seeds onto a baking sheet, repeat until it's all used up and cook for 15-20 minutes until most of the seeds have browned (but don't let them burn!)
- Take out of the oven and leave to cool for a few minutes. Once they've cooled a little (but are still warm) you can press the clusters together to make sure they don't fall apart. They will dry quickly.
Crabapple Jelly with Vanilla Extract
Crabapple Jelly
You’ll need:
l.c. finns Vanilla Extract
as many apples as you’d like to use
sugar
Wash, stem and coarsely chop or just quarter the apples and put them in a large pot. (Don’t bother to peel or core them.) Add enough water to just cover them and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the apples are very soft. Mash the whole lot with a big spoon or potato masher and cook for another few minutes.
Spoon the mixture into a colander lined with cheesecloth (or use a jelly bag if you have one) set over a large bowl or pot, and let the juice drain out. Stir the pulp around a bit if you want to hurry it up. Push as much through as you like – if you don’t mind a pulpier (less clear) jam, strain through as much as you like, leaving not much more than the pits.
Measure the resulting juice into a pot (this is easy if you drain it into a pot with measurements marked on the side) and add 3/4 cup sugar for every cup of juice. Bring to a boil over high heat and boil rapidly, stirring often, until the mixture reaches 210°F on a candy thermometer, or until a small amount placed on a plate that has chilled in the freezer turns to gel. (It should wrinkle on the surface and leave a trail if you run your finger through it.) This should take about 20 minutes.
While it’s still hot, add l.c. finns extract to juice. I used 1 Tbsp for my batch of about 6 cups. Pour the jelly into hot jars, skim off any foam that rises to the top with a spoon, and seal with lids. Set aside to cool. The lids should pop inward as they cool. If any don’t, store them in the fridge.

Banana Bread Cookies
- Makes 9 sandwich cookies
- Start to Finish: 1 hour (includes cooling time)
Ingredients:
Banana Bread Cookies
2 large very ripe bananas
½ cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
1 tablespoon l.c. finns pure vanilla extract
2 cups old-fashioned oats
¼ cup brown rice flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon l.c. finns cinnamon extract
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Almond-Butter Cocoa Filling
½ cup unsalted almond butter
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
Directions:
1. Make the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350˚ and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, mash the bananas and combine with the maple syrup, applesauce and vanilla. (The mixture shouldn’t be too smooth; small chunks of banana are great.) In a large bowl, combine the oats with the brown rice flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add the banana mixture to the oat mixture and mix until just combined.
3. Using a tablespoon, drop the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies an inch apart. (Do your best to make them all the same size and shape, because they will be sandwiched together.) Bake the cookies for 10 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, or until they are golden brown and set but still soft and spongy. Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets.
4. Make the filling: When the cookies are nearly done cooling, in a small bowl, mix the almond butter with the cocoa powder and maple syrup until combined.
5. Scoop a heaping teaspoon of filling and spread it on the bottom of a cookie. Take another cookie and sandwich them together. Repeat the process with the remaining cookies to make 9 sandwiches total. Serve.

Despicable Me Minion Cupcakes
What You Will Need for Despicable Me Minion Cupcakes:
- Twinkies, halved. If you are making a dozen you’ll need six Twinkies
- There are several ways to make the eyes: Smarties with a black frosting dot, Wilton Decorator Eyes or all frosting.
- Black icing tube for details
- Blue (or whatever color you want) frosting or icing. Color with food coloring.
- Bake and frost your cupcakes as usual. (Recipe below...courtesy of bhg.com)
- Cut Twinkies in half and lay on the flat side on a plate. It will be easier to decorate this way.
- Squeeze two circles of icing/frosting on the Twinkies in the place where you will put the Smarties glasses.
- Press the Smarties into the icing/frosting and some of it will smoosh out and make it look like the glasses are rimmed. Make two dots for the eyes in the glasses.
- Draw lines for the sides of the glasses. Draw a mouth and stick chocolate jimmies into the top of the Twinkies for hair. Gently press the Twinkie into the frosted cupcake. And done!
