PALEO CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES (VEGAN)

http://detoxinista.com/2012/06/paleo-chocolate-chip-cookies-vegan/

 

2 cups almond meal/flour
1/4 cup  coconut oil, softened (non-vegans can use butter)
3 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips  (OR chop up the 3 ingredient chocolate)

 

Preheat oven to 350˚

In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond meal, salt, and baking soda, then add the coconut oil/butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract and mix well. Fold in the chocolate chips (for best results, chill dough for 10-20 minutes) then drop batter by rounded tablespoons onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake at 350F for 8-9 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. Allow to cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then serve warm or allow to cool to room temperature.

 

 

PALEO MAPLE SHORTBREAD

http://meljoulwan.com/2013/11/29/paleo-aip-friendly-maple-shortbread/

3/4 cup coconut flour, sifted

6 tablespoons coconut oil or ghee, room temperature

1⁄4 cup maple syrup

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Pinch sea salt

 

Preheat oven to 200F, Line a baking sheet with parchment paper/ silicon baking mat. Place all ingredients in the bowl of a standing mixer and blend on medium-high for 1 minute (a hand mixer will work, too).

Pat the dough into a square and cut it into 16 even pieces. Pat each piece into a bar shape with your fingers and place on the baking sheet. Poke lightly with a fork in whatever design you like. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.

When the dough has chilled, transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until just lightly golden.

Remove baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely. Shortbread can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or freezer for up to 1 month (if they last that long). Eat at room temperature.

 

 

* for a Christmas twist we added peppermint oil to our 3-ingredient chocolate (see recipe below) and dipped the sortbread in!

 

 

Healthy THUMBPRINT COOKIES                                                                                                               1

http://withfoodandlove.com/grain-free-gluten-free-vegan-thumbprints/

2 cups blanched almond flour

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 cup melted coconut oil

1/4 cup honey or agave

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk

2 tablespoons of blanched almond flour for finishing

2 tablespoons of your favorite jam

 

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the first three dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. With a whisk mix it together well. Then add in the coconut oil, honey, vanilla and milk. With a spoon stir the batter until it forms a dough. Divide it into 18 equal parts. Roll each part into a small ball and dip just one half of the ball into almond flour.   Place the ball on the cookie sheet with the bare side down (almond flour dipped side should be facing up). Press the ball down leaving a small indentation in the center of the cookie. Fill the indentation with your favorite jam. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes.

 

When the cookie come out of the oven their texture will still be quite soft, transfer them to a cooling rack and allow them to cool completely. During the cooling process the cookies will become a little more firm, but still soft and chewy. Finish with a little sprinkle of almond flour.

 

Note: To prevent burning the bottoms I strongly recommend that you double up your baking sheets!

RAW, VEGAN, SALTED PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

http://ahouseinthehills.com/2013/01/14/raw-vegan-salted-peanut-butter-cookies/

 

The what:

1 cup of raw almonds (you can use roasted as well if you’d prefer OR almond flour)

1/2 cup of peanut butter (I used creamy, unsalted)

1 cup pitted medjool dates (may try maple syrup, about 3 Tablespoons)

1 1/4 teaspoons of vanilla extract

maldon sea salt to garnish

 

The how:

– combine almonds, peanut butter, dates and vanilla in a food processor and blend until a dough-like texture is achieved (a couple of minutes).  Add more peanut butter if necessary to make the dough stickier *

– form into small balls and use a fork to press down and create a crisscross pattern

– sprinkle liberally with maldon sea salt

– store in refrigerator (in my opinion they were better the next day!)

 

*I was concerned about the motor in our food processor being overworked so I used the dry container in our vitamix to break down the almonds into a pasty flour before I added everything to the food processor.  

 

 

Strawberry Creme Truffles

From http://mywholefoodlife.com/2014/03/24/strawberry-creme-truffles/#RSjLd7uWaMQyU1Di.99

Ingredients

For the filling:

1 cup coconut butter

1 cup sliced strawberries

2 Tablespoons maple syrup

For the chocolate:

1 cup dark chocolate chips or  3 ingredient chocolate recipe (below)

3 Tablespoons almond milk or milk of choice

 

Instructions

In a food processor, mix the filling ingredients together very well. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop small balls of the filling onto a lined baking sheet. If the filling seems too soft, stick it in the fridge for 15 minutes. Stick the baking sheet, with all the formed balls in the freezer to firm up.

While the balls are firming up, melt the chocolate. Using a double boiler method, melt the chocolate chips and the milk. Stir constantly until all the chips are melted and the mixture is smooth (or use our awesome 3 ingredient choc. Recipe).             

Working quickly, using two forks, roll the balls into the chocolate and place them back onto the lined baking sheet. Stick the finished balls back in the freezer to firm up. It should take about 30 to 60 minutes.

 

 

PALEO GINGERSNAPS                                                                                                                                                   http://www.foodfaithfitness.com/ginger-snap-recipe/

INGREDIENTS

1/4 Cup Coconut oil, melted (I LOVE Nutiva)

1 Cup Coconut sugar, lightly packed + more for rolling

1 Egg white

1 1/2 Cups + 1 Tbsp Almond flour (5.4 oz) *

1/4 Cup + 1 tsp Coconut flour (1.2 oz) *

1 3/4 tsp Baking soda

1/2 tsp Salt

2 Tsp Ginger powder

2 tsp Cinnamon

2 Tbsp + 2 tsp Molasses

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, beat together the melted coconut oil, coconut sugar and egg white until well mixed. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, stir together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, salt, ginger and cinnamon. Stir until everything is very well mixed and there are no little clumps of flour. dough forms.

Stir the flour mixture, along with the molasses into the oil mixtures and stir until a slightly sticky a slightly sticky dough forms. Place the dough into the refrigerator for 10 minutes, just to allow to coconut flour to absorb some of the moisture.

Once the dough has chilled, Roll 1 Tbsp sized balls and roll the balls around in coconut sugar. Place onto the prepared baking sheet and slightly flatten down.

Bake until the edges begin to go darker brown and top is nice and crackly, about 19-20 mins.

 

** The cookies will feel VERY soft, but they will crisp up A LOT once cooled.

Let cool completely on the pan and then DEVOUR.

 

NOTES* I know the measurements are very exact, which is why I HIGHLY recommend using a scale to weigh your flour. Due to varying sizes of measuring cups, you may get a different amount, causing your cookies to not be as perfect.
**Parchment paper is VERY important here. If you don't use parchment paper, your cookies will NOT come off the pan.
*** I baked my cookies on a light colored baking sheet. I also tested them on a dark baking sheet, and they only took about 10-11 minutes. So watch closely for the edges to begin to darken.

Erin's Favorite Swiss Roll

Adapted from Southern Living

 

Ingredients:

4 ounces semisweet chocolate (I used Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips), melted

5 large eggs, separated

3/4 cup coconut sugar

3 tablespoons unsweetened cacao powder

1 cup heavy cream (for a dairy-free option, whip coconut cream)

1 tablespoon raw honey or maple syrup

 

Directions:

1.Preheat oven to 325°F and adjust rack to middle position. Using a pastry brush, oil a 15" x 10" jelly-roll pan. Place a piece of unbleached parchment paper on top and then oil again. (This will ensure the cake doesn't stick to the pan.)

2.Place egg yolks and 3/4 cup sugar in a mixing bowl and beat at high speed with an electric or standing mixer for 3 minutes, or until the mixture is thick and pale yellow. Whisk the egg mixture into the chocolate.

3. Beat egg whites at high speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form; fold into chocolate mixture. 

4. Pour batter onto prepared baking sheet and spread evenly using an off-set spatula. Bake at 325° for 15 to 18 minutes or until puffed. Remove the cake from the oven and place a damp kitchen towel over cake in pan. Cool completely on a wire rack, about 30 minutes.

5. Remove the damp towel. Place a 20- x 15-inch piece of parchment paper on work surface. Dust cake with cocoa, and invert onto parchment paper. Carefully peel parchment paper from top of cake.

6. Pour the cream and honey into a mixing bowl and whisk until stiff peaks form. Spread cream mixture over top of cake, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. Lift and tilt parchment paper at 1 short side, and carefully roll up cake, jelly-roll fashion, using parchment paper to lift and roll cake. Wrap rolled cake in parchment paper, and place on a serving platter. Chill 2 to 8 hours. Remove and discard parchment paper. Serve cold.

"MOUNDS bar" alternative

We modified a recipe for 'Coconut Snowballs' from: www.glutenfreeveganlove.com

I'm sure that there are other recipes out there-- but we feel totally cool about our accidental discovery!

Ingredients

1 cup coconut butter (also called coconut manna - we made our own)

1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)

3 tbsp maple syrup (or liquid sweetener of choice)

2 tsp pure vanilla extract (or a pinch of raw ground vanilla beans)

½ cup more shredded coconut for rolling

Instructions

Place all ingredients (except the ½ cup shredded coconut reserved for rolling) into a food processor and process until everything is combined and the mixture begins to form a ball. Spread the coconut reserved for rolling onto a plate and set aside. [Form bite sized balls out of the dough by shaping and rolling them with your hands, and then give them a roll on the shredded coconut plate to coat them]. Instead, we flattened the mixture onto  parchment paper on a cookie sheet, and refrigerate or freeze.

Smother the top (or cut into squares and coat the whole piece!) with our awesome chocolate (see recipe below).

Serve/eat right away or refrigerate for a little bit to make them firmer. They can be made ahead too and store well in the fridge or can be frozen.

Two recipes for the price of one! Enjoy!

1 cup almond/cashew/peanut butter

1 egg (can substitute chia seeds, soaked and slime saved)

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1 Tablespoon vanilla

Combine and add to wet ingredients:

1/4 teaspoon grey sea salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Place in greased (butter/coconut oil) 8x8 pan and bake at 350˚ for 20-30 minutes or until desired consistency is reached.

 

 

Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

 

Paleo Dough:

2 ¾ cup almond flour

½ cup coconut flour

½ cup (~2 scoops) cinnamon or vanilla protein powder 

¼ cup coconut sugar

2 tsp baking powder

2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

2 ½ Tbsp psyllium husk powder (or substitute flax meal)

2 Tbsp flax meal

½ tsp sea salt

2 Tbsp (melted) coconut oil

¼ cup unsweetened almond milk

⅔ cup pumpkin

3 eggs

 

Filling:

½ cup coconut sugar

½ tsp cinnamon

⅓ cup chopped walnuts (if desired)

¼  cup raisins or dried currants (if desired)

1 ½ Tbsp coconut oil (melted)

1 tbsp agave (or honey)

Preheat oven to 340 degrees. Mix the first 5 dry ingredients together, set aside Warm up the almond milk and pumpkin over low heat, then add the melted coconut oil (if you mix it into a cold pumpkin & milk mixture, it will immediately harden!). Add the pumpkin pie spice, psyllium husk, flax, & salt. mix until combined. Next, add the eggs using a hand blender and blend until smooth. Slowly add your dry flour mixture and blend until smooth again.

Place dough on parchment paper sprayed with oil and spray hands before flattening it into a large 9x13 rectangle. (You can spray the top of the dough too!).  Once flat, put another piece of parchment paper on top and use a rolling pin to roll out smooth, then remove top layer of parchment.

Mix together filling and evenly spread out over the dough. Starting with the narrowest end of the rectangle, begin to tightly roll your dough away from you until you have formed a round log (it is a good idea to use a spatula to help with this part!). Next, use dental floss to gently cut through the dough into 1 ½ inch thick rolls.  Line a small glass baking dish (or try muffin tins!) with parchment paper and carefully place the rolls into the dish side by side so they are all touching each other. Put any extra filling on top, or sprinkle a tablespoon of coconut sugar on top if desired. Place in oven for 25 min. When done, the filling should start to bubble out of the top of the rolls. DO NOT LEAVE IN TOO LONG!
