January Updates

We have been busy around the farm!

As we kick off the new year we are busy around the farm pruning our blueberries like we do every year. This is also the time of year for those of you at home to start thinking about pruning those bushes you have in the back yard. If your new to blueberry care we got your back, with our blog post about how to prune your bushes. We will also be talking about some tricks we do around the farm to keep things happy and healthy later in the month, so keep an eye on our blog!

Ingredients: 3-3/4 cups old fashioned oats, divided OR 1-1/3 cup oat flour plus 2 cups old fashioned oats, divided (make sure they're certified gluten free if you are gluten intolerant) 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup ground flaxseed 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce 1/2 cup mashed very ripe banana (about 1 medium banana) 1/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons honey 1/4 cup + 1 Tablespoons coconut oil, melted 1 Tablespoon lemon zest 1/4 cup lemon juice (about 1 lemon) 1lb blackberries, rinsed then patted dry (frozen or fresh) Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees then line a baking sheet with a silpat or parchment paper and set aside. Add 1-3/4 cups oats to a food processor then process for 3-4 minutes or until very fine to make oat flour. Add oat flour, remaining 2 cups oats, baking soda, salt, and ground flaxseed to a large bowl then mix to combine. Add applesauce, banana, honey, coconut oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice then mix until just combined. Carefully fold in blackberries then let batter sit for 10 minutes to thicken. Scoop 1/4 cup batter (I used an ice cream scoop) onto prepared baking sheet then wet hand with water and press down to flatten slightly (cookies will not spread.) Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until cookies are golden brown around the edges and set on top. Cool completely then store in an airtight container for up to 2 days, in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or wrap individually in plastic wrap then freeze in a freezer bag. Wrap in a paper towel then microwave for 20 seconds to thaw. Inspired from Iowa Girl Eats
