Quick and Easy Vegan Beltane Bannocks for Abundance

Summer is getting closer with each passing day and it’s already time for Beltane! These Vegan Beltane Bannocks for abundance are the perfect thing to add into your festivities this year.

Beltane is celebrated the evening of April 30th and all of May 1st here in the Northern Hemisphere. It is the midpoint between the Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice, and celebrates the return of summer, nature in all its glory, and the miracle and pleasure of life, love, and beauty. If you want to learn more about the Beltane Sabbat check out my full post HERE.

Bannocks were traditionally eaten at Beltane to ensure an abundant and fertile growing season in the weeks to come. Aside from abundance, they also contain energetic properties for prosperity, grounding, wealth, stability, and happiness.

Including some kitchen magic as part of your Sabbat festivities is a wonderful way to connect with each turn of the wheel, with nature, and with the elements. And after all, no celebration is truly complete without some yummy eats so I do hope you will try these out this year!

Now let’s get into this Beltane Bannock recipe!

Beltane Bannocks: Main Magickal Properties

Oat Flour – abundance, wealth, prosperity, sustainability

Wheat Flour – grounding, abundance, stability, prosperity

Sugar – love, money, attraction, peace

Salt – luck, protection, cleansing, wards negativity

Lemon Juice – happiness, clarity, cleansing, longevity

While going through the steps to prepare your bannocks, focus on what you are trying to accomplish. There are some good moments here where we are able to use our hands and really connect with our ingredients. How do you want to feel? Visualize yourself with a mind that is clear and open. Be specific, in what areas of your life are you looking for abundance? How will your life change if you are able to obtain this?

And Now The Beltane Bannock Recipe!

Makes 8 – 12 Bannocks | Total Time: 35 Minutes

Ingredients:

1 3/4 c spelt, whole wheat, or gluten free 1:1 flour
1 c oat flour
2 tbsp vegan butter
1 tbsp cane sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup non-dairy milk
1 tbsp lemon juice

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 320F and line or grease a sheet pan.
Mix milk and lemon juice in a small bowl and set aside.
Mix butter and flour together and then add in the rest of your dry ingredients.
Now mix in your milk/lemon mixture.
Use hands to kneed the dough and make sure all ingredients are well combined.
Roll out your dough onto a floured surface about 1/2 to 1 inch thick.
Cut out your bannocks with a circle cookie cutter or a glass and place onto your pan.
Bake for 10 – 14 minutes (I take mine out at 12). Alternatively, you can fry your bannocks in a pan with a bit of oil or butter, 4 – 6 minutes per side. You can fry them as smaller individual bannocks or as one large bannock that you can cut into pieces.
Focus on your intentions throughout the process and just prior to baking hold your hands above the pan and state the following or something similar, ‘On this Blessed Beltane, may these traditional bannocks bring abundance to my day, week, and summer season.’

These bannocks keep for about 3 – 4 days in an airtight container and are still delicious but they’re particularly good when eaten fresh from the oven. Enjoy them with butter, jam, nut butter, some vegan cream, or even just plain. All options will be delicious!

They will also be a perfect addition if you are hosting a Beltane brunch or dinner.

Makes 9 – 12 bars | Time: 20 minutes (plus chill time)

Crust Ingredients:

1 c whole rolled oats
1/2 c coconut flour
1/2 c dates
1/4 c tahini
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp sea salt

Filling Ingredients:

1 can chickpeas, drained
2 c raspberries
cream from 1 can of coconut milk
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp vanilla

Preparation:

Line an 8×8 pan with wax or parchment paper.
Place all of your crust ingredients into a food processor or blender and blend until you get a crumbly mixture that easily presses together. Be sure to scrap down the sides as necessary.
While you are blending keep your intentions in your minds eye and state the following, ‘‘Sweet raspberries, bring forth joy. Your energies I do employ. Happiness within my soul I seek. May this light find me today, tomorrow and throughout the week.’ You may repeat this each time you blend your ingredients and/or whenever you have a piece of the bars.
Now press the crust firmly into your pan and place in the fridge while you mix together your filling.
Next place all of your filling ingredients into your food processor and blend until smoothie. Again, be sure to scrap down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well blended.
Remove your crust from the fridge and smooth your raspberry filling evenly over the top.
Place in the freezer for 30 – 60 minutes to set.
You can store in the fridge or freezer for 4 – 5 days. If storing in the freezer take out and allow to sit for 10 – 20 minutes to soften before slicing. I prefer to store in the fridge so there is no thawing necessary but either is good! However, don’t leave at room temperature or it will become too soft.

And you’re done!

Very easy to put together, super tasty, and incredibly refreshing.

These bars are great to match the Taurus season energy that is currently filling the air. I hope you enjoy them and may they help to bring much joy and happiness into your life!

Kitchen Magic: Easy Baked Maple Lime Tempeh for Strength

The spring is a time of change and transformation. Maybe even a little extra right now with the Aries New Moon coming up. Change can often mean taking leaps of faith and trusting your intuition which can be a little scary sometimes. So for today I wanted to share a Maple Lime Tempeh recipe for strength.

Now is a time to go all in, make positive changes and be the leader of your own life. This dish is full of energetic properties to help with this intention. It includes strength, healing, cleansing, vitality, spirituality, and prosperity.

It’s also perfect for meal prepping if you want to focus your week on these types of intentions. Delicious for breakfast, lunch, or dinner; you could have it like bacon for breakfast, on a sandwich or in wraps and bowls.

Before we get into this Maple Lime Tempeh recipe, let’s talk about some of the health benefits.

Maple Lime Tempeh: The Health Benefits

These ingredients are super simple and with some great nutritional benefits.

Tempeh

Nutrient Dense
High in Protein
Promotes a healthy gut
Supports digestion
May lower cholestrol
fights oxidative stress
Combats inflammation
Supports bone health

Lime

Source of vitamin c
heart healthy
boost immunity
promotes healthy skin
aids iron absorption
contains anti-oxidants

Nutritional Yeast

Source of b Vitamins
Protein source
Great mineral source
Powerful source of anti-oxidants
May boost immune health
May lower cholestrol
Heart health

Maple Lime Tempeh: Main Magical Properties

Tempeh (Soybeans) – spirituality, psychic ability, strength, protection

Lime – strength, healing, cleansing, love, calm

Garlic – cleansing, health, wards negativity, protection

Chili – protection, strength, healing

Onion – protection, health, vitality, wealth, prosperity

Maple Syrup – love, wealth, joy, prosperity

While going through the steps to prepare your tempeh, focus on your goals. What specific situations are you applying this intention to? What will your day or life look like if this manifests? Focus on being strong, confident, and full of courage as you move forward on your path.

And Now The Maple Lime Tempeh Recipe!

Makes 3 – 4 servings | Time: 40 minutes (plus marinade time)

Ingredients:

1 block tempeh (200g)
juice from 1 lime
2 tbsp coconut aminos or soy sauce
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp hoison sauce
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
black pepper to taste

Preparation:

Cut your tempeh into thin strips like bacon and set aside.
Next we will mix up our marinade in a bowl or pan large enough to fit the tempeh so they pieces can all be covered in the marinade.
Add all of the ingredients into the bowl and whisk to combine.
Add your tempeh into the marinaden and mix until all of the pieces are well covered in the marinade. While you are doing this you may state the following or something similar, ‘Tempeh may you imbue me with the strength to achieve my goals, overcome obstacles, and manifest my intentions.’
Put into the fridge for 60 minutes. It can be less depending on your time constraints but the longer it sits the more the flavours will soak up into the tempeh.
Preheat your oven to 400F and grease or line your baking pan. Your pan should be large enough so the there is no overlapping of your tempeh strips. Having them in a single layer will allow them to become more crispy.
Bake for 20 – 30 minutes depending on the size of our tempeh pieces.

Alternatively, if you prefer, you can fry the pieces in a dash of oil in a pan instead of baking. Enjoy as bacon for breakfast or add to bowls, salads, sandwiches and wraps. The tempeh will store well for about 4 days. For best results, when reheating use the stovetop and not the microwave.

Kitchen Witch: Fast Creamsicle Smoothie for New Beginnings

Change is in the air my friends and it’s a wonderful time to connect with your inner kitchen witch and make some serious magic in the kitchen, starting with breakfast! This Creamsicle Smoothie for New Beginnings is a delicious and intentional way to start your day, especially this week when we have the second Aries New Moon of the season coming into play.

The flavours of this smoothie are so refreshing and really kind of taste like warm weather…if warm weather had a taste lol. The New Moon energy this week is really exciting as it is also a Solar Eclipse and the beginning of a brand new eclipse cycle making the energy kind of supercharged. It’s a great time to start fresh, set new intentions, make positive changes, be fearless and take advantage of new opportunities, really trust your intuition and be the leader in your own life.

This smoothie has some other really stellar properties, aside from new beginnings, that go along with this energy as well including creativity, joy, positivity, health, success, prosperity, and good fortune.

First though, let’s get into some of the health benefits this smoothie contains.

Creamsicle Smoothie: The Health Benefits

These ingredients are super simple and jam packed with nutrition.

Orange

Rich in Anti-oxidants
Improve insulin response
Lots of Fibre
Fight inflammation
Great source of Vitamin C
Skin health
May lower cholesterol

Source of Anti-oxidants

Vegan Protein Powder

Being vegan, I like to get this extra protein boost into my day.
I use Genuine Health Organic Fermented Vanilla Protein Powder or Form. They are both delicious and with no funky additives.
Be wary with protein powders as a lot of them have ingredient lists as long as your arm. Try to buy high quality if you are going to use one.
Another alternative I like to use is pure Pumpkin Seed Powder. It comes only unflavoured and is honestly pretty tasteless lol.

Smoothie Notes

I don’t use any additional sweetener. However, you can add a medjool date, maple syrup, agave, or date syrup if you’d like it on the sweeter side.
People have varied tastes when it comes to smoothies in regards to how thick they like them. This recipe is exactly how I make mine. Feel free to add more, or less, liquid/ice to get your desired thickness.
Different protein powders WILL change the taste so find one that suits you. You can also omit the protein powder entirely. Maybe add a little vanilla extract or kefir to the mix if you omit the powder.

A Magical Start to Your Day

Food is magick, always. So let’s harness that and get our day started off with intention, mindfulness, and positivity.

Intention setting while we are preparing our meals is a stellar way to inject some magick into our normal daily routines. I mean we all gotta eat, so why not make it magickal. This is truly practical magic at it’s finest!

Creamsicle Smoothie: Main Magical Properties

Oranges – new beginnings, success, joy, creativity, health, prosperity, good fortune

Banana – prosperity, love, perseverance, spirituality

Coconut – good luck protection, cleansing

Spinach – strength (can strengthen your mind, body, and manifestations), money, prosperity, passion

While preparing your smoothie, focus on what you are trying to accomplish. How do you want to feel? What new beginnings do you want to dive into and how will your life look once you do this?

You are taking magical elements into your body, take advantage of what they can offer you and how they can help to manifest your goals as well as nourish your holistic self.

And Now The Creamsicle Smoothie Recipe!

Makes 1 serving – Total time: 5 minutes

1/2 c. coconut milk
1 orange or 1 – 2 clementines
1 banana
1 tbsp coconut yogurt
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 ice cubes
optional: 1/2 tsp maple syrup or 1 date for additional sweetness

Preparation

Add all ingredients to your blender in the order listed. Blend for about 60 seconds.
Either while you are blending or before you drink your smoothie (or both) you may state the following or something similar:

‘Fresh beginnings I welcome you. Now is the time to start anew. Change and rebirth I shall see, please bring these gifts unto me.’

Et voila! A healthy and energy charged breakfast to set you up for success in less than 10 minutes.

Nutritional Information (approximate and will vary based on exact ingredients)

Calories: 367 | Fat: 6g | Carbohydrates: 52g | Protein: 28g | Fibre: 6g

Magic in the Morning

So, are we excited for breakfast tomorrow? We are always looking for extra ways to include magick into our days.

Opportunities to work our magic and manifest are all around us. We just need to be aware and harness them.

Breakfast is a wonderful time to set intentions and manifest how you would like your day, or week, to go.

And there is no reason why we can’t have a nutritious breakfast that is also magically charged. That’s the best type if you ask me!

I use Form Performance Protein Powder or Genuine Health Organic Fermented Vanilla Protein Powder. They are both delicious, vegan, and with no unpronounceable additives.
A lot of protein powders unfortunately have many additives. Be sure to buy high quality if you are going to use one.

And Now The Peanut Butter Coconut Bites Recipe!

Makes 18 – 24 bites | Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

1 cup peanut butter
1⁄4 cup pure maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1 scoop Protein Powder (chocolate or vanilla)
1 tbsp coconut flour
1 tbsp shredded coconut (more for rolling, optional)
1 tbsp vegan mini chocolate chips
1⁄4 teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon
1/4 tsp sea salt

Preparation:

Line a storage container with wax paper.
Mix your peanut butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract until well combined.
Now mix in all of your dry ingredients. The mix will be thick, so it will take a bit of effort to have it all come together. You may wish to mix with your hands for the last couple of minutes. This will create a deeper connection with the ingredients as well. If the mix is a little dry, add a dash of plant milk and if it is a tad too sticky add an additional sprinkle of flour. Peanut butters can have quite different consistencies. The dough should hold together easily but not be so wet it sticks to your hands.
Use a tablespoon to scoop out the mixture and roll into balls. As you begin to scoop your energy bites, recite the following: ‘May this nourishing snack bring abundance to my day.’ You may repeat this each time you have one of these bites to re-assert the intentions. Feel free to tailor it to your situation.
At this point, if you like, you may roll the bites in more shredded coconut to have a nice coconut coating.
Place the energy bites in the container, give thanks to Mother Earth, and store in the refrigerator.

And that’s it!

Very easy to put together and really so tasty.

They will stay fresh up to 1 week, though I have eaten them for up to two weeks. They just tend to get more dry as the days pass. You may also freeze them up to 3 months.

These energy bites are great to match the spring time rhythms happening all around us in nature. I hope you enjoy them and may they help to bring much abundance to your life!

Thoughts!

Do you like no bake recipes? How about using nut butters in your magical recipes?

While going through the steps to prepare your chickpea fritters, focus on what you are trying to accomplish. What type of abundance are you trying to manifest in your life? What will your life look once this happens? Think about your particular situation and goals.

And Now The Spiced Chickpea Fritters Recipe!

Makes 6 – 10 fritters | Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

1 can chickpeas, drained
1/2 c. whole spelt flour (or most any flour you have on hand)
2 – 3 tbsp vegetable broth (start with 2, add more if needed)
2 tbsp aquafaba (from your can of chickpeas)
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp sea salt
black pepper to taste
1 chopped green onion
sprinkle of favourite vegan cheese shreds

Preparation:

Drain your chickpeas. Save the aquafaba liquid for later.
Smash your chickpeas up a bit then add in your liquid ingredients and mix together.
Now add in your flour, nutritional yeast, and spices. Continue mashing together until chunky and well combined. Be careful not to over mash as it will make the mixture too wet.
Now add in your onions and cheese shreds. Mix all together with your hands to form a ball. If it is too dry add some more veggie broth. If it seems a little too wet add in a bit more flour to help absorb the extra moisture.
Next we will form our fritter patties. You should be able to make 6 – 10 depending on how big you make them. I usually get about 8. Use this time while you are working with your dough to connect with the energies in your ingredients. Focus on your goals and what your re trying to accomplish.
We can now begin to cook the fritters. Add a bit of olive oil into your pan and fry each fritter for about 4 minutes per side on medium/low heat. They will turn a nice golden brown and be a bit crispy when finished. While you are frying your fritters you may state the following or something similar, ‘Sacred chickpeas, gift from the earth, bring abundance into my day and life.’ You can tailor this to meet your specific situation.

And that’s it!

Very easy to put together and really so tasty. If you have leftovers try to reheat them in a pan and not the microwave. It will give a much better result. They will last 4 – 5 days in the fridge. Add your favourite dip to the experience to make them extra tasty. I really like them with hummus or garlic mayo.

These fritters are great to match the spring time rhythms happening all around us in nature. I hope you enjoy them and may they help to bring much abundance to your life!

And Now The Baked Cauliflower Bites Recipe!

Makes 4 – 6 servings | Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

4 cups cauliflower (about 1 large head)
1 cup non-dairy milk
1 cup whole spelt flour (most any flour will work here)
1 cup breadcrumbs
3 tbsp shredded coconut
5 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp sea salt

Preparation:

Wash and break up your cauliflower heads into bite sized pieces into a large bowl.
Mix together your flour, milk, and spices into a separate bowl.
Mix your bread crumbs and coconut and set aside. Leave about a third of this mixture separate and don’t use right away. You will want to refresh your bread crumbs once you start making your way through dipping your florets. It gets messy.
Now pour your milk mixture over your cauliflower florets and stir them up until all of the florets are covered. While you are mixing keep your intentions focused and you may state the following or something similar, ‘May this cauliflower bring clarity to the chaos and calm to the storm.’
Preheat your oven to 350F and prepare your pan with parchment paper.
Now begin dipping your florets one by one into the breadcrumb mixture and place them on your pan in a single layer. If there is overlapping the florets won’t come out crispy.
Bake for about 30 minutes.

These are best enjoyed fresh from the oven. They are delicious dipped in hummus, garlic mayo, or sriracha.

This meal is perfect for spring when we’re trying to perhaps start new projects, making changes, or starting down new paths. All things that can be overwhelming and it can be beneficial to utilize our meal times and take in some properties that help us keep a clear mind so that we might move forward with clarity and purpose.

Kitchen Witchery: Easy Banana Bread Overnight Oats for Perseverance

What is an easier or more satisfying breakfast than oats? As warmed oatmeal, as granola, in a yogurt bowl, smoothie, or as overnight oats. You really can’t go wrong when oats are a part of your daily start. Nutritious, delicious, and oh so magical. Try these Vegan Banana Bread Overnight Oats for Perseverance the next time you really need to push past obstacles and distractions and get things checked off of that to do list or makes some tough decisions.

These are really a perfect breakfast for the Spring time season to help reach your goals and stay on track. Not to mention an easy, healthy and tasty breakfast as well

These oats are packed with nutrients and wonderful energetic properties including perseverance, sustainability, prosperity, resilience, luck, and spirituality. A perfect breakfast to align your magickal practice, wellness goals, and the boss witch in you!

Let’s begin with a little health overview. Overnight oats are filled with essential vitamins and minerals to keep you energetic and satisfied all the way until lunch time.

Vegan Banana Bread Overnight Oats: Health Benefits

Rolled Oats (the extra thick variety are particularly good)

Vegan Vanilla Protein Powder

Many of us require a little bit of a protein boost into our days.
I use Genuine Health Organic Fermented Vanilla Protein Powder. or Form Performance Blend Vanilla Flavour. They are both delicious, vegan, soy free, and with no unpronounceable additives.
A lot of protein powders unfortunately have many additives. Be sure to buy high quality if you are going to use one.
Another alternative I like to use is pure Pumpkin Seed Powder. It comes unflavoured and is honestly pretty tasteless, so you don’t even notice it’s there lol.

Overnight Oats Notes

Don’t omit the ground flaxseed as it helps to absorb the liquid and thicken your oats.
You may add a little more or less liquid to go with your preference of desired consistency. I sometimes like to add a little coconut kefir just before eating to add a bit of a creamy texture.
Different protein powders WILL change the taste. The Vanilla Genuine Health one is the absolute best tasting I have found, EVER. And by a lot. You can also omit the protein powder entirely and add in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract instead.
Overnight oats are super versatile! You can switch up the milks, flavour options and toppings easily, so experiment and have fun.
Many people say to consume your oats within a day of making them but I prepare mine in advance for 3 -4 days at a time and on the third and fourth day they are still delicious.
Overnight oats can be eaten cold or warmed up. They choice is yours! I generally eat mine straight out of the fridge. It really doesn’t get any easier to grab a quick breakfast.

Morning Magic

Food is always magic. And weaving that magic into our normal activities, such as meal times, is a powerful way to connect with our craft on an every day basis.

Kitchen witchery is a practical and beautiful form of everyday magic that often gets overlooked even by witches who practice regularly. And Spring is a wonderful time to embrace this form of magic! I encourage you to dive in and give it a try if it’s something that is new to you.

These overnight oats are an easy and effective way to practice a bit of kitchen witchery and set intentions for you to persevere and get past any obstacle that might be put in your path. Make these when you know you have a busy or challenging day ahead.

Oats – sustainability, wealth, abundance

Cinnamon – success, prosperity, strength, luck, love, enhanced psychic awareness

What goals are you looking to accomplish? Visualize how your life will look once you reach these milestones.
