Sugar Free Orange and Sultana Cookies

Like most children my two year old enjoys her fruit and sweet treats so I have enjoyed perfecting a cookie recipe that does not contain processed sugar! While containing no vegetables unfortunately, these cookies are great healthy treat for kids and adults alike! The cookies sweetness comes from the orange juice, honey and sultanas and they are so quick and easy to make. You could substitute the sultanas for other dried fruit such as apricots or cranberries, the almond flour gives these a soft moist texture but you can substitute with plain flour instead. 

100g butter

3 tsp honey  

1 medium sized egg 

Juice and zest of 1/2 an orange  

50g almond flour (swap for wholemeal or plain for nut allergies) 

50g fine milled rolled oats or ready brek porridge oats  

50g wholemeal flour
1/2 tsp baking powder 

100g sultanas  

Beat the butter and honey together, add the egg and beat until combined.

Add the orange juice and zest to the mixture, along with almond flour, sultanas, wholemeal flour, oats and baking powder.  

Mix well, then spoon onto a greased baking sheet on an oven tray. 

Bake at 150 degrees celesius fan bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. 
  

The Parts of a Plant

I am completing further curriculum based activities for the Superveg App. The above is a simple drag and drop exercise. However I know there will be lots of questions raised around the functions of the parts of the plant as little fingers drag and drop! 'So do we eat the root of the carrot Mummy'(or Daddy)? Lately I have been reading the Educational App Store blog and newsletters that give excellent inspiration and I am hoping the activities that are being developed will create a dialogue between parents, teachers and our wonderful little people!

If any parent or teacher would like to be beta testers for these curriculum updates please let me know
on twitter @superveg_ or email superveges@gmail.com.

 

Key Stage 1 and 2 Curriculum Activities

Currently I am developing some Key Stage 1 and 2 activities and games to go alongside the human body and vegetable information in the Superveg App. See a preview below, these will be simple drag and drop activities or games like include tapping to create a path for the nerve to the brain, or vanquishing a virus! Practicing problem solving and drawing exercises are also included to help with motor skills and thinking processes. Let me know parents or educators if there is anything specific you think should be included :)!

Super Vege Soup

Continuing with the slow cooker theme, this is another throw everything in the pot and leave to cook recipe! You can leave out the curry paste if you don't like anything too spicy but it does add a certain depth of flavour to the soup. 

1 butternut squash 

1 red pepper  

2 carrots 

250ml vegetable or chicken stock 

3 cloves garlic 

1 teaspoon grated ginger 

1 teaspoon green or red thai curry paste (optional) 

1 red onion  

1 teaspoon each of dried cumin and coriander  

125ml coconut cream 

Peel and chop up all vegetables, place in the slow cooker, add all the other ingredients as well and stir through. Cook on high for 2 1/2 hours stirring occasionally or until veges are cooked and soft. Turn to low until ready to serve, then add the coconut cream. Using a hand held blender blend until smooth. Serves 4.
