Chocolate Okara Pie

For those of you who make your own motherless milk, it can often be quite a dilemma what to do with all the leftover pulp. It seems wasteful to throw it away, and yet it isn't always the easiest thing to find uses for, especially if you go through a lot of milk in your home.
Here's a great way to use up some of that pulp.
I have only tried this pie with okara (soy milk pulp) but I see no reason why it wouldn't work with other plant-based milk pulps.

Chocolate Okara Pie

Crust:
1 cup oat flour/bran
1/2 cup okara
1/2 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon baking powder

Put all ingredients in a food processor and pulse a few times until combined. Mixture will be a wet crumble. 
Press into a 20cm pie dish, making sure to press some of the mixture up onto the sides.
Bake for 12-15 minutes in a preheated 180C oven.

Pie filling:
1/2 cup okara
1 cup motherless milk of choice
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup coconut sugar (or other dry sweetener of choice)
1/4 cup cornflour
2 teaspoons vanilla

Combine all the pie filling ingredients in a food processor or blender and mix until smooth.
Pour mixture over the baked pie crust.

Cook at 160C for 1 hour. Remove from oven.
The mixture will be slightly wobbly.
Allow to cool prior to slicing.
The mixture will thicken upon cooling.

Serve with frozen berries of choice.

Question of the day:
Do you make your own plant-based milk? If so, what do you do with the pulp?

Juice Pulp Cookies

What to do with all that Juice Pulp???

Make cookies of course!

The juice pulp I used whilst taking these pictures was carrot, beetroot & silverbeet. You could use any type of pulp you want - if you are using fruit pulp you may not need as much agave to sweeten the cookies!

1 cup juice pulp of choice

1/2 cup wholemeal flour

2 Tablespoons sunflower kernels

1/4 cup agave nectar

1/4 cup apple sauce

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl until well combined.

The mixture will be moist but will hold together when pressed.

Line a baking tray with baking paper. Roll tablespoons of the mixture into balls and lightly press down onto the tray.

Bake at 180C for 20 minutes until lightly browned.

Makes 10-12 cookies depending on the size of the balls.

Optional: You could drizzle some icing over the top of these to give them a fancy look!!!
