CREAMY BRUSSELS SPROUTS

For the creamy Brussels sprouts all you need to do is cut them in half and bake them in an oven for 20-25 minutes at 220 degrees Celsius. Cover with a bit of oil and salt. Once cooked add tahini or vegan creme cheese on top and combine. Serve still warm.

CINNAMON APPLE CAKES

For the cinnamon apple cake in a large bowl combine the spelt flour, baking powder, salt, shredded coconut, sugar and grated apples. Mix and stir thoroughly. In a large jug or bowl whisk the olive oil with the maple syrup and eggs (or flax eggs). Add to the dry ingredients and mix until you have a runny batter. Pour into baking tins and cook for 30 mins. The cakes are cooked when a skewer inserted comes out clean. To make the glaze combine 1 cup of the powdered sugar with 3 Tbsp water, vanilla and 1 Tbsp lemon juice.  Mix until it forms a pourable batter. Cut the bottom corner of a ziploc bag, spoon in the glaze and proceed to drizzle over the cake and serve immediately.
