Caramel Macadamia Cupcakes, Quirky Cooking

Caramel Macadamia Cupcakes – recipe below!

How awesome are summer holidays? We’ve had a great time with family and friends – swimming, bushwalking, star-gazing and waterfall exploring; having long-overdue catch-ups, picnics, BBQs and morning teas; getting some gardening done and going to a fermented foods workshop; and just enjoying being less focused on work and having more time to relax. 
 
Far North Queensland, Jo Whitton, Quirky Cooking
 
I love where I live!! (Far North Queensland, Australia)
 
Waterfall picnic, Quirky Cooking
  
School starts again on Monday, and I know it’s going to get crazy again, especially when the new book comes out and our classes and workshops begin again. So I’m glad I took it easy for a few weeks. Hope you did too!
 
In case you’ve been off the radar for the holidays,
here’s what’s been happening in Quirky Land:
 
Life-Changing Food, Jo Whitton & Fouad Kassab
 
– Our new cookbook “Life-Changing Food” has gone off to the printers – yay! (the book is due for release late March/early April)
 
– Fouad and I did a really fun podcast on Food Trends and Food Goals for 2017 (did you know naturally purple foods, cauliflower creativity, immune boosting mushrooms, and flexitarian diets are the in thing for 2017??)
 
– We also interviewed Jen Shaw of Barefoot Kitchens on our podcast about her new social-enterprise cafe and youth health project, Emerge! (Listen here: Jen Shaw: Living on Little)
 
– I’ve gotten serious about exercising, in an effort to regain the fitness lost by sitting at a computer every day writing a cookbook (and I’m loving these workouts – plus swimming and walking)
 
– I’ve started studying nutrition through Changing Habit’s Functional Nutrition Academy
 
– I started putting together a Full GAPS recipe ebook to add to my Quirky Cooking for Gut Health program
 
– I learnt how to smoke brisket, make perfect pork belly, cook ibika, and take photos of the moon from the rooftop (ha ha) Stay tuned for pork belly and brisket recipes!
 
– We got lots of gardening done, and I’m finally getting a veggie garden and fruit trees in the backyard! (woo hoo!!)
 
– And I did a fermented foods course with Kultured Wellness ambassador Karli Rae, and am all inspired with lots of new ideas for fermenting everything from veggies and fruit to meats and coconut yoghurt! (photos below)
 IMG_1968.JPG
 
Now that I’ve caught you up on the news, how about something yummy to celebrate the start of a new year (and to cheer you up if you’re wishing the holidays weren’t over yet)! 
 

Caramel Macadamia Cupcakes

 
This is a recipe that I shared with my Quirky Cooking for Gut Health Program members a while back, and they loved it, so I thought I’d share it on my blog, too. We’ve been keeping sugars low, and although we’re at the tail end of GAPS, we still eat mostly grain free. So these cupcakes are a delicious little now-and-then snack that are super easy to make and very popular in our home! We hope you enjoy them too.  
 
All the best with getting ready for the back to school craziness… I’ll be posting some lunchbox ideas for you this week, so keep an eye out for those! (And there’s some savoury lunchbox ideas here on my FB page if you need some straight away.)
 
This recipe is suitable for GAPS Intro stage 6 and Full GAPS, and is Paleo, gluten free, grain free and dairy free.

Cupcakes
  1. 170g macadamia nuts
  2. 70g pitted medjool dates, or date paste
  3. 100g thick coconut cream
  4. 4 large eggs
  5. ½ tsp vanilla powder or extract
  6. ½ tsp bicarb soda
Caramel Icing
  1. 60g pitted medjool dates
  2. 100g thick coconut cream
  3. ¼ tsp fine sea salt
  4. ½ tsp vanilla powder or extract
Cupcakes
  1. Preheat oven to 180C. Line a muffin tin with 12 paper baking cups. (I use "If You Care" baking cups as they are unbleached, non-toxic, and the cakes don't stick to them.)
  2. Place all ingredients into Thermomix bowl and mix 1 min/speed 9. (Or mix in a blender/processor until batter is smooth and creamy).
  3. Divide mixture between cupcake cups.
  4. Bake 20 mins at 180C.
  5. Cool, then ice with caramel icing.
Caramel Icing
  1. Place all icing ingredients into Thermomix bowl and mix 10 sec/speed 6. Scrape down lid and sides of bowl with spatula. (Or finely chop dates by hand and place in a saucepan with other ingredients.)
  2. Cook 5 mins/100C/speed 3 (or simmer in saucepan over med heat, stirring until smooth).
  3. Chill icing for approx an hour, then ice cupcakes.
Notes
  1. Store cupcakes in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 1 month.

    Hi. Could you please advise what I could use to sub the eggs in the recipe? Thanks!

      Hi Michelle! 🙂 Generally it isn’t recommended to substitute eggs if there are more then 3 eggs in a recipe. If you want to try it, maybe halve the recipe (in case it doesn’t work well!), and use 1 Tbsp ground chia seeds + 3 Tbsp water per egg, plus 1/2 tsp baking powder. I hope it works! Let us know. xx

    These look great AND are free from almost all of the allergens in our house (pretty exciting as this rarely happens) but the 4 eggs are an issue. Any suggestions on a substitute? I do use egg replacer but it isn’t very good to replace more than 2 eggs.

      If you make it as a cake it will be quite dense and heavy, and won’t rise very high, which is why I prefer to make them as cupcakes. 🙂

    My teenage boys LOVE these muffins. I didn’t have macadamia nuts so used 100g cashews and 70g hazelnuts. Delicious! Am just making my second batch for the week as the first ones are almost gone. Winner! Thanks so much, Jo.

    Made these for the first time. Love them. I’m wondering though what would be a good gluten free flour alternative to the macadamia nut as I have a grandchild with nut allergies and she always misses out.

Stay tuned for lots of mango cooking videos when these babies ripen (and some before they ripen)! 😄😄

So messy and a lot of work but #WORTHIT ✨

Happy new year, everyone! 🎉🎉 As we venture i Happy new year, everyone! 🎉🎉 As we venture into the unknown I think we need cake to help keep stress levels low, don’t you? 😍 Healthy cake of course! 😁 So here’s some lemon, yoghurt and plum cupcakes for you. I would have delivered them to your door but lots of borders are still closed (and I’m still busy with book writing) 😉😘 so here’s the recipe so you can make them yourself! ❤️

These deliciously moist cupcakes are gluten free, grain free, and naturally sweetened, and can be dairy free as well. You could probably use pepita meal instead of almond meal to make them nut free, too! (I haven’t tried that yet but should work - colour just won’t be golden yellow.) 

To make these cupcakes, use the Lemon Yoghurt Cake recipe on my blog (tap on this photo via the link in my profile to go to recipe), pour batter into cupcake/muffin liners in trays filling halfway, and place a halved plum into each one. Bake in 180C oven for 25 mins (fan-forced oven). This will make about 21 large cupcakes. Store in the fridge for a week or so, or freeze for up to 3 months! 😍

Please tell me I'm not the only one feeling unprep Please tell me I'm not the only one feeling unprepared for Christmas?? Every time I cook something to pop in the freezer for Christmas Day it seems to be needed for a party or get together (I now have a pie and some rocky road hidden away... shhh!!); I've only bought a few gifts and haven't wrapped any yet (except the cookbooks I posted off 😁); and there's just so much happening this time of year it's hard to fit in the shopping and cooking! 

Today I spent the day helping my friend move house (which was actually quite fun 😄 see my stories!) - no time for Christmas shopping - so I'm thinking tonight I'd better work out some 'digital gift' options. 

Thankfully my lovely assistant Emma has sorted out Quirky Gift Cards for us all... I sent one to my sister in the NT to test out and she had fun going shopping in my store 😃. YAY!! 

I'll also be releasing my 'sneak peek' ebook tonight with 12 recipes from my upcoming cookbook - a great gift idea 🎁 and it comes with a discount code for the new cookbook!

So if you are a last-minute shopper like me 🙈 or you are in lockdown and can't go shopping 😭, do not despair, help is on the way. ❤️

✨✨ You can find the Quirky Gift Cards by tapping on this photo via the link in my profile. ✨✨ 

...and stay tuned for the eBook release tonight! 😍😘

How’s the Christmas party planning going, guys? How’s the Christmas party planning going, guys? Anyone needing some ideas for finger food? Here’s what I served at our tapas party last weekend for my kids and their friends... they loved it!!

- fried salt & pepper squid tentacles (from @malandaseafood - super quick to make!)
- spicy nuts (a new recipe coming soon in my “Tasters” ebook!)
- mixed Spanish & Aussie olives 
- juicy, locally grown pineapple slices

- cheese platter with local and Spanish cheeses, prosciutto rolls & local @rainforestbounty jeowbong chilli paste (instead of the usual quince paste 😄 a bit of FNQ flavour!)
- marinated artichoke hearts
- and organic grape juice mixed with mineral water, 50:50

What’s some of your simple, yummy finger food ideas for parties?

(PS This was just entree, they were having a dress-up progressive dinner and moved on to other houses for main and dessert 😄 so fun!)
