Royal Icing {coconut butter}

December 20, 2020 by Erica Leave a Comment

Cookie Icing

This icing recipe uses coconut butter and coconut milk to make spreadable dairy-free icing. Coconut butter and coconut oil are two different ingredients. Coconut oil is the oil that’s been extracted from the coconut solids, and coconut butter is the coconut solids that has been ground into a paste. In general, coconut butter is a …

Gingerbread Cookies {dairy free, egg free}

December 13, 2020 by Erica 4 Comments

Gingerbread Cookies

I’ve created a new gingerbread cookie recipe using coconut oil, instead of unsalted butter. My gingerbread cookies recipe from several years ago uses butter, an egg, a greater amount of almond flour, and it’s a denser cookie than this recipe. My kitchen floor is being replaced which means I’m without my trusty oven range, which …

Pumpkin Cheesecake

November 29, 2020 by Erica 2 Comments

Pumpkin Cheesecake

Over the past two weeks I became obsessed with pumpkin cheesecake. I’ve made at least 6 cheesecakes and I’ve eaten all of them. I started with my dairy-free pumpkin cheesecake recipe, and then moved on to dairy-based pumpkin cheesecakes. The result is this recipe for pumpkin cheesecake using either Farmer’s cheese or dripped yogurt, also …

Pumpkin Cheesecake {dairy free}

November 18, 2020 by Erica 15 Comments

Pumpkin Cheesecake

This is my first time creating a pumpkin cheesecake, and I chose to make it dairy free using cashews and baking it, versus using cashews to make a raw cheesecake. I’m a huge fan of the classic New York-style cheesecake. That said, I’m into non-dairy versions of things, but cheesecake is definitely a challenge to …

Chocolate Zucchini Muffins {almond flour}

August 29, 2020 by Erica 4 Comments

Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

The unthinkable happened. My food processor is temporarily out of commission. But I’m happy to let you know that I tested these chocolate zucchini muffins without any electrical gadgets with great success. I grated the zucchini using my hand-held metal grater and mixed all the ingredients together in a bowl with a fork. It was that …

Strawberry Ripple Frozen Yogurt

June 8, 2020 by Erica 6 Comments

Comfy Belly: Strawberry Ripple FroYo

Here’s my rendition of strawberry ripple frozen yogurt. The addition of lemon and salt make this lip-smacking good. I usually prefer straight, sweet ice cream or frozen yogurt that tastes like ice cream exclusively, however this frozen yogurt tastes like strawberry ice cream. And is it me or does it seem like strawberries are available …

Pumpkin Muffins {low carb}

April 6, 2020 by Erica 16 Comments

Pumpkin Muffins {keto}

This is an updated version of my pumpkin muffin recipe from my cookbook, Everyday Keto Baking. This recipe is based on my original pumpkin muffin recipe that uses maple syrup or honey as a sweetener, so to make this low carb I replaced the sweetener with a low-carb sweetener and adjusted a few ingredients to …

Cocoa Butter Cookies {almond flour}

February 10, 2020 by Erica 4 Comments

Ice Box Cookies

You’re going to want to make room in your freezer for cocoa butter cookies. They use almond flour and cocoa butter, and are both buttery and crunchy when stored in the refrigerator or freezer. The bonus is that they’re quick and easy to make and ready any time! Cocoa butter is a solid at room …

Banana Bread Cake

November 17, 2019 by Erica 8 Comments

Banana Bread Cake

I stumbled upon a beautiful creation posted on an SCD Facebook page last week. It’s a banana bread birthday cake made by the one and only Sarah Miller. Sarah used my banana bread recipe using coconut flour as a birthday cake, and graciously agreed to share her photo and instructions. Thank you, Sarah! I’m a …

Lemon Blueberry Loaf {coconut flour}

August 4, 2019 by Erica 43 Comments

Lemon Blueberry Loaf

I’ve got a thing for blueberries and lemons, and they definitely belong together in the form of a lemon blueberry loaf, using coconut flour. After playing around with lemon muffins and blueberries I decided to turn the recipe into a cake. This tastes very much like a lemon pound cake so if you prefer you …

Lemon Muffins {coconut flour}

July 17, 2019 by Erica 7 Comments

Lemon Muffins

I started with the intention of testing lemon juice in place of milk in my vanilla cupcake recipe, which turned into creating a recipe for lemon muffins. I kept adding more lemon juice until I discovered it’s great with about a 1/4 cup of lemon juice added to my somewhat standard coconut flour recipe ratio for …

Berry Yogurt Waffle Cones

June 16, 2019 by Erica Leave a Comment

Berry Yogurt Waffle Cones

Greek yogurt is like cheesecake to me: it’s tart, sweet, thick, and creamy. The bonus is that yogurt is rich in probiotics and healthy fat. Drizzle in some honey, add some preserves or fruit, freeze, and serve. Consume in a bowl or a waffle cone for a healthy version of, what I consider, cheesecake ice …
