"Caramel" Dip

Someone made this for our class on monday, and paired it with apples. It was delicious. I don't have the actual amounts, but there are so few ingredients, I figure it can be made "to taste", so to speak.

Ingredients:
Cream Cheese (another option might be greek yogurt)
Brown Sugar
Vanilla

Directions:
Combine ingredients, blend until smooth. Serve and enjoy!

Banana Bread- with no eggs

Ingredients

• 1/3c applesauce, and a teaspoon of butter
• 1 cup white sugar (you can cut this back too- I often use a scant 3/4 cup)
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour ( have mixed this with WW, white WW and spelt with good results)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 very ripe mashed bananas (I use all different sizes and amounts- about 1 1/2c)
• 1-2 teaspoons pure vanilla
• chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan. (This can be made in any size pan or muffin tins just adjust the baking time)
2. In a large bowl, cream the apple sauce, butter, and sugar and add vanilla. Sift in the flour, baking soda and salt. Blend in the mashed bananas. Stir in the chocplate chips. Pour batter into prepared pan.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until it tests done with a toothpick.

Red Pepper Hummus

1 can chickpeas - drained & rinsed
1/4 cup tahini
3 cloves garlic
1/2 cup roasted red bell peppers - drained
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tbsp tamari (or soy sauce)
1/4 olive oil
1 tsp basil
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dried oregano

Combine all ingredients in food processor until smooth.

I recommend adding the chickpeas at the end a little bit at a time to make it mix better.

Tahini is in the peanut butter aisle with the nut butters (almond, hazelnut, etc)
