I find raw cheesecake one of the easiest cake styles to make. There’s no baking, just soaking of raw cashews and some processing of nuts and in this case, berries. You will need a food processor or high-speed blender to get a creamy consistency. After that, layer all the ingredients in a spring-form pan or pie …
Almond & Coconut Flour Pancakes
Way back when I first whipped up a batch of pancakes using coconut flour, they seemed pretty fluffy to me. I was grateful for something close to what I wanted. That was then. The trick to getting thick and fluffy pancakes is to add something acidic, like yogurt, to react with the baking soda. The reaction …
Spaghetti Pizza Pie
Have you ever made a spaghetti pie? I hadn’t, until now. That’s because now it’s using spaghetti squash. No pasta or pizza dough here. This is not a quick recipe because the baking time is close to an hour. But it is easy, and it serves as breakfast, lunch, or dinner, or even snack. Make …
Cinnamon Raisin English Muffin {almond & coconut flour}
I’m a huge fan of raisins, so it’s no surprise that I really liked this version of English muffin. The first version, a plain English muffin, fills a need for a quick bread fix. This version, with cinnamon, honey, and raisins, goes a step further with a slightly sweet taste and a slightly moister texture. …
English Muffin {almond & coconut flour}
I’ve seen a few versions of this recipe but didn’t take it too seriously. I didn’t really believe it was possible. But I had to try it. I won’t lie. It’s not identical to the texture and taste of an English muffin made with all-purpose flour, but it’s a good substitute if you can’t eat …
Baked Apples
Baking an apple is an exercise in patience (for me), given the long baking time. But it’s so worth the wait. My grandmother served baked apples for dessert when I was young. Nothing fancy. From my memory it was baked until it was completely soft. Since I don’t know how she prepared it, I’ve experimented …
Pumpkin Custard
One of the main reasons I eat pumpkin pie is the custard filling. So I figured I’d just cut to the chase and make the pumpkin custard. This is a simple, one-bowl recipe, and it works as breakfast, snack, or dessert. Dress it with whipped coconut cream, a dollop of yogurt, a crumble of nuts, or …
Blondies {almond butter}
Here’s a shout out to those of you who don’t or can’t eat chocolate. Blond brownies, also known as blondies, are a must make. If you’ve been wondering what to do with that jar of almond butter in your pantry, here’s a great excuse to screw off the top and pull together a sweet, healthy …
Blueberry “Corn” Muffins {almond & coconut flour}
With blueberries in abundance at the moment (in North America), I couldn’t resist overusing them in this simple cornbread muffin recipe, using both almond flour and coconut flour. I have a recipe for blueberry corn muffins, using corn flour. It’s not grain-free, but readers have asked me to keep it live, so I’ve left it …
Chocolate Zucchini Bread {almond flour}
Zucchini is one of those vegetables that grows like crazy in the summer. And it’s easy to grow. Therefore, I’m thinking that you can’t have too many zucchini recipes. Here’s a slightly decadent chocolate zucchini bread using almond flour. And if you don’t normally eat zucchini, but you’re feeling like your life needs some “hidden” …
Roasted Strawberries
I have a lot of strawberries, and it’s early in the season. Must be Seattle weather. I plant a strawberry patch at every place I live. They’re just so easy to grow in this part of the country, seems like a no-brainer. We had a wet winter, and then recently, a few beautiful weeks of …
