Raw Bee Bread Breakfast Bars
- Add 3/4 cup oats, 1/2 cup nuts, 1/3 cup peanut butter, 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup), and 1 1/2 cup dates into a food processor and blitz until a ball begins to form.
- Pour the mixture into a baking pan.
- Sprinkle the 1 tablespoon of bee bread on top and use your hands to mix the bee bread into the mixture.
- Press the mixture flat in the pan with your fingers.
- Use a knife to cut out the bars - this recipe should yield 8 bars.
- Pop the tray into the freezer for about an hour to firm up the mixture.
- Remove from the freezer and break the bars apart.
- These bars will last about 2 weeks in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer. They can be left at room temperature but will become soft and more difficult to eat.
Homemade Bee Bread Granola
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degrees Celsius.
- Add 6 cups oats, 1 cup maple syrup or honey, and 1 cup coconut oil to a large stockpot.
- Heat on low until the oats are completely covered in melted coconut oil and maple syrup or honey, and turn off the heat.
- To the stock pot, pour in 1/2 cup sourdough discard or mature starter, 1 cup nuts and seeds of your choice. Use a spoon to stir everything together.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and pour a thin layer of granola onto one or many large baking tray(s). Use multiple baking trays to avoid overcrowding.
- Put the baking tray(s) into the oven for 35-40 minutes. I like to stir the granola every 20 minutes or so, to ensure it’s baked evenly on all sides.
- Once it’s golden brown, remove the granola and allow it to cool completely.
- Use a spoon to break it apart. Sprinkle 1/2 cup bee bread over top of the baked granola.
- Store in a glass container.
Bee Bread Date Balls
- Add 1/2 cup medjool dates to your food processor and blitz until they come together.
- Add 1/2 cup nuts and 1/3 cup peanut butter into the food processor with the dates and blitz until the mixture holds together.
- Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of bee bread and use a wooden spoon to mix them in.
- Using your hands or a spoon, roll the balls together.
- Put the balls onto a plate and into the fridge for an hour or so to firm up. Enjoy!
