My favorite uses of doTerra essential oils in edibles are:
-
Citrus oils -Grapefruit, Lemon, Lime, Slim & Sassy (not specifically citrus
-
Wild Orange in my sparkling water
-
Cardamom and cinnamon in coffee-- neutralizes acidity & adds wonderful flavor!
-
Ginger (or others-- get creative!) in my smoothies
-
Lavender in homemade chocolates
-
Lemon in my kale chips and hummus
-
Lime for my pico de gallo and guacamole
-
OnGuard infused into my sliced apples (also Wild Orange)
-
Oregano anytime I don't have the dried herb-- **only use a toothpick amount!!!! Just one drop creates an overdose of oregano flavor--not good.**
-
Peppermint in my brownies..... peppermint black bean brownies! Also quickly rubbed on roof of mouth as a breath mint.
Some Recipes to Get You Started
Black Bean Peppermint Brownies
15oz can black beans (drained & rinsed)
2 large eggs (or flax-eggs)
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2/3 cup honey
1/3 cup coconut oil
1/2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
4 drops peppermint essential oil
3/4 cup chocolate chips.
Preheat oven to 350°. Blend all ingredients (except choc chips) until smooth. Pour batter into greased 8x8in pan and stir in 1/2 cup choc chips. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 choc chips on top. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean. Let cool (and store) in fridge, then cut into pieces.
**You might want to try using parchment paper to line the pan before greasing it with coconut oil to avoid sticking/crumbling brownies when cutting them out of the pan.
Coconut Lime Bites/Bars
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 Tbsp coconut oil
1/8 tsp salt
4 drops lime essential oil
Blend together with mixer, pour into tray, freeze 15 minutes (or longer in fridge). You can adjust the thickness of these bites as desired. Cut up & enjoy.
Wild Orange Yogurt Fruit Dip
1 cup Greek yogurt**
1 Tbsp raw honey
2-3 drops Wild Orange essential oil
Mix ingredients together. Adjust honey and EO as desired. Serve with fresh fruit. Enjoy!​
**I served an adjusted vegan version with Kite Hill's almond milk yogurt, raw blue agave and Wild Orange EO. I personally like the original better but it's not vegan.
