Strawberry Oatmeal Bars (Kaufmann Diet Friendly)

Written on . Posted in Breakfast, Desserts, Kaufmann 2, Recipes. No Comments on Strawberry Oatmeal Bars (Kaufmann Diet Friendly)

My son just graduated from high school last week and on most mornings I made him a juice for breakfast.  On days where there was no time to make a fresh juice, these strawberry oatmeal bars were what we grabbed on the way out the door.  I’m sure my son was grateful for those rushed days when he could trade the morning juice or smoothie for these delicious bars!  This is a far cry from the pop tarts and donuts I used to feed him for breakfast when he was little.

Join me and I’ll show you how to make these easy strawberry oatmeal bars.  Although oats are naturally gluten free, they are sometimes made in a facility where gluten is present.  If you have celiac disease and need to make sure the manufacturer says certified gluten free.

What You Need for Strawberry Oatmeal Bars

  • 1 cup gluten free oats – note: if you have a serious gluten allergy one would have to make sure it’s made in a facility that doesn’t process wheat and barley.
  • 1 cup strawberries
  • 6 tablespoons almond flour
  • 6 tablespoons tapioca flour
  • 3 tablespoon xylitol
  • 2 tablespoons organic maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • a sprinkle of arrowroot or tapioca flour for the top of berries
  • squeeze of lemon
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
close up of baked strawberry oatmeal bars

How to Make Strawberry Oatmeal Bars (Kaufmann Diet Friendly)

  • Cut strawberries in small pieces
  • Add about ¼ tsp of arrowroot or tapioca powder to the strawberries and squeeze a dash of lemon and stir.
  • Set strawberries aside.
  • Mix all ingredients (except strawberries) in one bowl.
  • Set aside ¼ cup of the oatmeal mixture for the top.

Instructions Continued

  • Line square pan with parchment paper and spray with non stick spray.
  • Place oatmeal mixture in pan and press down.
  • Top with strawberries.
  • Sprinkle a small amount of xylitol on top berries.
  • Crumble the remaining oatmeal mixture that you had set aside on top and bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes.
  • Let completely cool before cutting.
  • Note: If you are following the Doug Kaufmann Diet (aka the Kaufmann diet) this recipe would be considered Kaufmann 2.  Doug Kaufmann of Know the Cause has dedicated his life to helping people overcome chronic health issues caused by mold.

Nutrition In Strawberry Oatmeal Bars

  • Strawberries – High in Vitamin C and antioxidants.  Strawberries also have anti inflammatory properties and may also protect against heart disease and cancer.
  • Oats – Oats are a whole grain naturally gluten free.  Sometimes they are processed in plants that also process wheat and barely so be careful if you are 100% gluten free. Oats are good for the heart, help regulate blood pressure, and contains antioxidants.
  • Almond Flour – Almond flour contains a good amount of Vitamin E which is great for our brain.  It also contains antioxidants to help reduce diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
  • Chia Seeds – The food of the ancient warriors!  Mayan and Aztec warriors consumed plenty of chia seeds because they felt these little “magical” seeds increased their endurance.  These tiny seeds are packed with Omega-3 fatty acids, fiber and protein.

Notes

Kaufmann 2 Diet (Kaufmann Phase II)
Tip - Once I mix in the flour I use a battery powered milk frother to blend it right in the crock pot to avoid lumps. It works great! Then I add the beans and sausage. If you do not have a milk frother you could also use a bullet or a blender and mix some of the chicken broth with the flour before adding to the crockpot. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4 hours.

What You Need To Make Black Bean Burgers

  • 1/2 cup gluten free oats (gently blend oats in blender)
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese (we use feta with cracked peppercorn)
  • 1 can black beans (One 15 ounce can)

  • Add onion and sautés until translucent
  • Blend oats in food processor to break them up but do not blend into a fine powder

  • Store in refrigerator covered until ready to create patties
  • To cook patties melt butter in a frying pan and cook patties for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown

  • I used gluten free, grain free hamburger buns and lettuce wraps

Are Black Bean Burgers Healthy?

WebMd states “The antioxidants, fiber, protein, and carbohydrates in black beans make them nutritionally powerful. A diet rich in beans can reduce your risk of several serious medical conditions and help your body to process calories more effectively.”

We all know it takes a variety of foods to keep us healthy, black bean burgers can be a good alternative on occasion to beef burgers.

Nutrition Facts:

Black Beans – are high in fiber and less fat and calories than ground beef.  Beans are great for your heart, digestion, and high in magnesium, iron, and B vitamins.

Onions – Onions are a powerful antifungal which I appreciate since I am on an antifungal diet. (specifically the Kaufmann diet).  Onions are also good for your heart and contain antioxidants that fight inflammation which may lower heart disease risk.

Oats – Oats are also rich in antioxidants, are a good source of fiber, and help to lower cholesterol.  While oats are already naturally gluten free, they may be made in a facility that also use grains such as wheat.  If you are gluten free be sure to specifically order them certified gluten free.

Poblano Peppers – Interestingly, poblano peppers show anti cancer activity.  Poblano peppers are also high in Vitamins A, C, and antioxidants such as capsaicin and carotenoids.

Avocado – per Medical News Today “Avocados are a source of vitamins C, E, K, and B6, as well as riboflavin, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, and potassium. They also provide lutein, beta carotene, and omega-3 fatty acids. Avocados contain high levels of healthy, beneficial fats, which can help a person feel fuller between meals.”

Cheddar Parm Crisps (Kaufmann Diet Friendly)

Written on . Posted in Kaufmann 2, Recipes, Snacks. No Comments on Cheddar Parm Crisps (Kaufmann Diet Friendly)

If you love cheese and you love a “crunch” when you eat, this Cheddar parm crisps recipe is for you.   I wished I would have thought of it ahead of time, but if you love spicy food, I think a slice of jalapeno on top before baking would be delicious!

If you are following the Kaufmann diet, this recipe would be considered fine as a Kaufmann 2 recipe, also known as Kaufmann Phase 2.   The Kaufmann diet is an anti-mold diet (similar to candida diet).  The website Know the Cause is a great resource for everything related to mold illness.

What You Need To Make Cheddar Parm Crisps

  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese (no hormones or antibiotics)
  • 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese (I used the kind that is like a powder)
  • Dash of pepper
  • Jalapeno (optional – add if you want to spice it up)

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • BEST WHEN EATEN within the first 30 minutes after coming out of the oven when they are warm and crispy.
  • Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix both cheeses together, at first it will seem dry, just keep squeezing them together.
  • Place small amount of the cheese mixture on the parchment paper leaving enough room for them to spread. It may seem dry and crumbly but this is OK. Don’t pile them too high as they will melt and spread out.
  • If you like spicy food place a jalapeno in the middle of each one before baking.
  • Bake for 5-6 minutes.
  • Check on them after 5 minutes as they can burn quickly.
