Juice pulp crackers - carrot, beet, apple
The thing about juicing is you’re left with a mountain of perfectly good pulp that has no business in the trash can. Now what?
Crackers and bread, that’s what.
Juice pulp can easily be converted into crackers, quick breads, muffins, even cookies.
Juice crackers with Stew's hummus
For the crackers…
I referenced Kristen’s post on how to make green juice pulp crackers. Using the 2 cups pulp + 1/2 cup ground flax + 3/4 cup water foundation as a launching point, we mixed in different spices to make:
- Paprika crackers
- Spicy chili flake crackers
- Rosemary, thyme, sage crackers
- Tahini crackers
Instead of a dehydrator (because I don’t have one), we just baked them like I would just about anything else in the world… on 350.
Crackers and lentils
For the bread…
I used this vegan zucchini bread recipe and just subbed out the two cups of zucchini for two cups of pulp. I also used ground flax instead of egg replacer and 1.5 cups brown sugar instead of 2 cups white.
Juice pulp bread
This is amaaaazing bread and I will definitely use it for all my quick breads going forward–zucchini, banana, etc. Just don’t get impatient, crank the heat waaaay up to “speed things along” and blacken the bottom of the bread.
You have been warned.
All was not lost. It’s still delicious. Super moist. Drool.
The best part? This little adventure–four cracker batches and a loaf of bread–used up 10 cups of pulp from our last juicing adventure and we still have probably six more.
So I can make another bread and not burn it.
how much juice do you get out of SIXTEEN CUPS of pulp? jeez!
Hm probably…16? I defer to stew but I think that’s it
million
I’ve never made zucchini bread before…that recipe sounds divinee
I bet you could make some delicious treats for the cats from the pulp. Indoor cats needs green stuff. Right? You are welcome, Ralph and Weaz. (I know the check is in the mail).
haha, thanks ladyyyyy.
they actually got a cat treat mix for christmas so i’ll be baking them some cookies before we head home…
Juice pulp also works great to make sauces to top pasta and rice. I’ll add it to a can of tomatoes, onion and a few spices add stock if you need to thin it out. (My husband will eat it by the bucket full so I make a large batch and freeze the left-overs for a quick dinner later.)
Thanks for the zuccinni bread recipie… can’t wait to make it this weekend!
