1 cup (1 small to medium) zucchini, shredded finely and squeezed out

4 pasture raised eggs

2-3 Tbsp. raw honey or Grade B maple syrup

1 ripe banana, mashed

1 Tbsp. coconut oil, plus extra if greasing the pan

1/2 cup coconut flour

3/4 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1 Tbsp. cinnamon

½ tsp. nutmeg

1 tsp. apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup walnuts (Optional)

 

Preheat oven to 350 ˚ Grease a loaf pan with coconut oil or line with parchment paper; set aside. Shred your zucchini finely, and then use a nut milk bag or cheesecloth to squeeze all the moisture out of it. Mix the egg, honey or syrup, oil, and banana together in a large bowl. Mix in the dry ingredients and zucchini, then add the apple cider vinegar, and stir until the batter is smooth. Stir in the nuts, if using. Pour batter into a greased loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (Larger pans = less time.)

Sunflower Sesame Crackers

 

1 cup raw, shelled sunflower seeds

1/2 cup sesame seeds

1/2 tsp. sea salt

1/4 cup water

 

Preheat oven to 325˚.

In a food processor grind the sunflower seeds to a fine meal. Add sesame seeds and salt and pulse food processor just long enough to combine. Add water and pulse to make dough.

Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Turn the dough out onto the parchment paper and cover with an additional sheet of parchment paper.

Through the top sheet of parchment paper, use your hands or rolling pin to press the dough as thin as you can – the thinner the better, without making holes in the dough. 

Pull off top sheet of parchment paper, and using a thin sharp knife, score the dough into diamonds.

Sprinkle with additional salt and gently press into dough.  Bake for 25 minutes, or until light golden color.
Let cool, then peel off parchment paper and break along scoring lines.

Easy Flourless Rolls
Ingredients:

3 eggs
½ cup cream cheese 
1 pinch salt 
½ teaspoon baking powder 
Instructions:

Separate the eggs, and put the egg whites in one bowl and the egg yolks in another. Whip the egg whites together with the salt until very stiff (you should be able to turn the bowl over without the egg whites moving). Mix the egg yolks and the cream cheese well, and then add the baking powder. Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mix – try to keep the air in the egg whites.

Put 6 large or 8 smaller drops on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake in the middle of the oven at 300°F for about 25 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
