Lemon and Lavender Apple Balls

Lemon and Lavender Apple Balls

Lemon and Lavender Apple Balls recipe

This bake session was originally planned to experiment with salt and pepper apple crumble spiced oat balls that went through quite a number of iterations before I landed on the flavour combo of lavender, lemon and apple. This flavour mix was so tasty with the lemon and lavender flavours balanced to perfection. The texture though was not ideal and the flavour could have been stronger.

I had grated apples into the mix which took a lot of oats to absorb and dulled the flavours down a little too much.

So I attempted this same recipe again, this time squeezing the apple juice from the apple flesh and ‘bingo’ a significant reduction in the oats and biscuits allowed the flavour strength I was looking for.

These balls are delicious, super easy and take minutes to make with no oven required!

Lemon and Lavender Apple Balls recipe

 

Ingredients:

  • 400g malt biscuits
  • 10g icing sugar
  • 1 tsn ground lavender
  • 1 tsn lemon zest
  • 40g toasted oats
  • 1 tsn psyllium husk powder
  • 4 apples (130g each)

Coating:

  • 10g brown sugar
  • 20g toasted oats
  • 10g walnuts
  • 1/8th tsn ground lavender

 

Method:

  1. Peel the 4 apples with a vegetable peeler.
  2. Grate the apples into a bowl.
  3. Squeeze out the apple juice with both hands into a glass to drink later (yum)!
  4. You should have 140g of squeezed apple flesh in total, place into a food processor.
  5. Add the biscuits broken into pieces, the sugar, lavender, lemon zest, oats and psyllium husk into the food processor.
  6. Pulse the mix until the large lumps have subsided, give it a little stir, then blitz again until well combine and smooth.
  7. Knead the mix ( on a lightly floured surface if the mix is too sticky) on a bench to ensure no lumps then set mix aside in the fridge for 15 mins.
  8. Meanwhile, make the coating by placing the sugar, oats, walnuts and lavender into the food processor until the mix resembles salt grains in size.
  9. Place the mix into a shallow dish.
  10. Roll the apple mix into balls of 25g each then roll each ball into the coating mix until well covered.
  11. Place coated balls onto a plate and continue the process until all apple ball mix is used.
  12. Place the plate in the fridge for 30 minutes minimum to fully set.
  13. Enjoy!

Rosemary Orange and Oat Slice

Rosemary Orange and Oat Slice recipe
 

I recently made an oat based granola with orange that was so lovely I decided to make a slice featuring these 2 ingredients along with an extra flavour inclusion to make it extra special and different. After doing some research in what unique flavor profiles I could pair orange and oats with I ended up deciding on rosemary for something different.

This slice is a simple, easy and a really delicious treat that will surprise people how tasty the flavors are together.

 

Ingredients:

Slice:

  • 150g self-raising flour
  • 115g sugar
  • 120g oats
  • 3 tsn dried rosemary
  • 3 tsn orange zest
  • 120g butter
  • 1 + ½ tbsn golden syrup
  • 1 egg

Icing:

  • 150g icing sugar
  • 75g butter
  • ½ tsn rosemary
  • ½ tsn orange zest
  • 15ml orange juice

 

Method:

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180c degrees and line a 20 x 20cm cake tin with baking paper.
  2. Place the flour, sugar, oats, rosemary and zest into a bowl and mix until combine.
  3. Place the butter and golden syrup into a bowl and microwave until melted, stir.
  4. Add the butter mix and stir into the flour mix until combine.
  5. Beat the egg in a bowl with a hand whisk and stir into the flour mix.
  6. Spoon the mix into the tin and flatten down with the back of a spoon.
  7. Place in the oven for 20 minutes or until golden.
  8. Leave in the tin for 5 minutes then turn onto a cooling tray until cold.
  9. Meanwhile to make the icing, place all ingredients into a bowl and using electric beats whisk until light and fluffy.
  10. Spoon the icing over the top of the slice and using a knife flatten the top.
  11. Place the slice in the fridge for 30 minutes to set the icing, then cut and serve.
