Oat flour
If you’re searching for a healthier alternative to regular flour, oat flour is an excellent choice. It’s not only gluten-free but also loaded with fiber and nutrients. By creating your own oat flour with your Black + Decker blender, you’re sure of its freshness and quality.
Here’s how you make oat flour at home:
- Measure 2 cups of oatmeal and pour them into your Black + Decker blender
- Cover the blender and pulse until the oatmeal turns into fine, powdery flour.
- Use a spatula to stir the contents and ensure even blending.
- Transfer the oat flour into an airtight container for future use.
Use it to make pancakes, muffins, cookies, and even smoothies.
Five-Minute Creamy Cashew Sauce
This creamy Cashew sauce should be your go-to if you’re looking for a creamy and dairy-free sauce. Made with raw cashews, this sauce is a healthier alternative to traditional cream-based sauces.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cups raw cashew nuts
- 1 1/4 cup water or broth
- 1–2 cloves of garlic
- 1 tsp salt
Method:
- Soak the cashew nuts in a container of water for approximately 2 hours. Drain and rinse them thoroughly.
- In your Black + Decker blender, add the liquids first (water or broth), followed by the soaked cashew nuts, garlic, salt, and any others you desire.
- Start blending at a low speed and gradually increase the speed until you reach your desired consistency. Some prefer a chunky texture, while others prefer a smooth sauce. Blend according to your preference.
- If the blender is not blending smoothly, add more liquids to achieve a runnier consistency.
- Your creamy cashew sauce is ready to use as a base for various sauces or dips.
Cauliflower Rice
If you’re on a low-carb diet or seeking a lighter alternative to rice, cauliflower rice is an excellent choice. Using your Black + Decker blender, you can transform cauliflower into rice-like grains, opening up a world of culinary possibilities.
Here’s how you can make cauliflower rice at home:
- Cut a large cauliflower into small pieces, discarding the thicker stems.
- Place the cauliflower pieces in your Black + Decker blender and pulse until they resemble fine bits, similar to couscous.
- Line a tray with kitchen paper or a towel and spread the cauliflower rice on it to remove excess moisture. This step is vital to prevent mushy rice and preserve its texture.
Now that you have cauliflower rice, you can enjoy it in many ways. If you prefer it cooked, sauté it with olive oil over medium heat, and add your favorite aromatics for extra flavor. Serve it alongside baked salmon or grilled chicken breast for a wholesome meal.
