Chocolate Hazelnuts Einkorn Steamed Bites !

My kids love these little chocolate hazelnut bites, even the ones that are not at all into chocolate! I usually make them with them and freeze, so we can grab a few to the park. They are sweet enough not to need frosting, but flavorful enough to be yummy on their own. They have nuts so they are reasonably filling, although a version adding some rolled oats may be more filling if you want to rely on that to fill growing kid’s tummies, especially if you plan only on cupcakes for snack. What is so special about them ? They are made with and baked in a steam cooker !

How do I steam Vegetables?

You must be joking, you’ll stay. Steam vegetables? Sooo easy. Yes, it’s true, but we may not even talk about the same thing. First, are we using the same cooking tool? A steam basket, a steam cooker, or a pressure cooker are neither the same, nor are they cooking with the same efficiency or with the same nutritional result. Second, what vegetables are we talking about? In this blog post, I will talk about steaming vegetables so as to preserve as much nutrient density ( color, texture, flavor and scent) while helping them release as much toxicity as possible. WIth my #1 cooking tool, the Vitaliseur steam cooker.
