VANILLA SOY COFFEE CREAMER

Steps:

• Store the creamer in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should last up to two weeks.

FRESH MAPLE VANILLA SOYMILK

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cover the soybeans in 6 cups of water.
• Make sure they are submerged completely.
• Set aside and leave to soak overnight.
• When beans have finished soaking (about 8-10 hours), drain out excess water.
• In a kettle or small pot, bring 3 cups of water to a boil.
• In a blender or food processor, blend one-third of the beans with one cup of boiling water until pureed.
• Pour into a large stock pot and set aside.
• Repeat twice with the remaining two-thirds of the beans and add to stock pot.
• Add 7 cups of cold water to the bean puree and slowly bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring continuously.
• Once boiled, remove from heat immediately, cover with lid, and set aside to cool.
• Once cool enough to safely handle, strain the mixture through a cheesecloth or a metal strainer into a pot.
• Discard the pulp.
• Add the vanilla and syrup to the milk and cook for 30 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally, in a double boiler.
• (If you don't have a double boiler, you can use two different-sized pots. Put the milk in the smaller pot and water in the larger one.) Transfer to a pitcher or container and refrigerate.
• Stays fresh for 5-7 days.

FRESH FIG OAT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Spray a Texas size (jumbo) muffin tin with nonstick coating.
• Mix together flour, salt, and baking powder in medium bowl.
• In large bowl, beat oil, yogurt, Splenda, and egg white. Add flour mix alternately with soy milk until gently combined. Fold in vanilla, almond extract, and 1 cup figs. Pour/spoon into prepared pan.
• Filling mixture: Combine syrup, figs and lemon juice in saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook on medium heat and mash the mix with a spoon until thick (around 5 - 10 minutes).
• Use a spoon to creat a "hollow" in each muffin. Place a spoonful of the fig mix in each muffin.
• Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

CREAMY DREAMY RICE PUDDING (NON-DAIRY)

Steps:

• Boil the water and rice together on medium heat until the rice releases its starch and becomes creamy.
• Add 1 cup soy milk and the maple syrup. Simmer, stirring frequently until most of the soy milk is absorbed, and the rice is bubbly and thick (about 7 minutes).
• Add second and third cups of soy milk in the same manner as the first, continuing to stir frequently.
• When the pudding has reached the desired creaminess (about 5 minutes following last soy milk addition), remove from heat and add the vanilla and spices.
• Ladle into serving bowls and sprinkle with cinnamon.
• The pudding may be eaten warm or cold, and will firm up a little as it cools.
• Store covered in the refrigerator up to two days, if it lasts that long.
• Enjoy!
