As we roll into a sun-kissed summer of backyard barbeques and poolside picnics, you may be looking for some new recipes to shake up your repertoire. If healthy, nutritious meals packed with protein and flavor and free of allergens are high on your list of priorities, then we have exactly what you are after.

We have rounded up a number of unique summer recipes that are completely nut-free. By including our 5 Seed Butter, we’ve boosted the protein content as well as added essential vitamins and minerals.

Should you require, you can also tweak these recipes to be allergen-free by swapping out:

• Sesame seeds for chia seeds
• Fish sauce and soy sauce for liquid aminos (choose carefully as some are derived from soy) 
• Honey for maple or agave syrup.
• All-purpose flour for  Pumpkin Seed, Watermelon Seed, Chia Seed or Sunflower Seed Flour.  
• Cream and cream cheese for dairy-free or vegan alternatives.

Gourmet Thai Chicken Pizza 

A delight for Summer mealtimes, this pizza recipe is made fresh through the use of cilantro and grated carrot.

Ingredients 

Pizza Dough

• 1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C) 
• 1 tablespoon honey 
• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast 
• 3 cups all-purpose flour 
• 1 teaspoon salt 
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Pizza Sauce

• 3 ½ tablespoons 5 Seed Butter 
• 3 tablespoons brewed black tea 
• 3 tablespoons rice vinegar 
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce 
• 2 teaspoons chili oil 
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger 
• 2 teaspoons honey

Pizza Topping

• 1 boneless chicken breast half, cooked and sliced into thin strips 
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds 
• 1 tablespoon paprika 
• 1 small fresh red chile pepper, finely chopped 
• 1 teaspoon salt 
• 4 green onions, sliced 
• 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese 
• 1 carrot, peeled and grated 
• ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Method

1. Pour warm water into a small bowl; stir in honey until dissolved. Add the yeast, stirring until dissolved. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add yeast mixture and olive oil; stir well to combine. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead in more flour until the dough is no longer sticky. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4. Punch down the risen dough on a floured surface. Divide into two equal portions. Allow the dough to relax for a minute, then roll each portion out into a thin circle. Place on lightly oiled pizza pans.
5. To make the sauce, place seed butter, tea, rice vinegar, and soy sauce in a blender. Add chili oil, ginger, and honey; process until smooth.
6. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, sesame seeds, paprika, chile peppers, salt, and 3 tablespoons of the sauce. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated. Spread the remaining sauce evenly over the pizza dough. Top with chicken, green onions, and cheese.
7. Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the cheese is lightly browned. Garnish with carrots and cilantro.

No-Bake Creamy Seed Butter And Chocolate Chip Desert

Avoid standing by a hot oven with this delicious no-bake dessert from What’s In The Pan

Method

1. Take pie crust out of the packaging and keep it inside the foil. Do not turn it upside down or attempt to take it out. If you do, it will get crumbled and destroyed.
2. Add cool whip, heavy cream, softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla to a large bowl. Beat until smooth with an electric mixer. Add seed butter and mix until blended well. Make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl as well.
3. Now add chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
4. Pour the prepared filling into the graham cracker pie crust.
5. Place the filled pie into the refrigerator or even freezer until firm, about 30 minutes to 1 hour. This will make it easier to cut.
