I’ve eaten so many beets this week, I’m peeing pink. For a good cause, of course. I wanted a recipe for a red velvet torte that is flourless and uses beets. This torte is moist, sweet and chocolatey. And dark red. I have a recipe for red velvet cupcakes using coconut flour in my coconut flour cookbook, …
Chocolate Cupcakes {almond flour}
I’ve been wanting to whip up a reliable chocolate cupcake recipe using almond flour. I have a version using coconut flour, and thought it would be really nice to have the lightness of that recipe using almond flour. Almond flour baked goods tend to be a bit heavier, but there are techniques to lighten them. Let me …
Ghostly Chocolate Cupcakes {coconut flour}
Here’s a recipe for ghostly chocolate cupcakes. I’ve combined two recipes to inspire you to get in the spirit of Halloween: ghostly meringues and chocolate cupcakes. The meringues are also SCD legal, if you’re following it, so they’d be great on pumpkin muffins or vanilla cupcakes, instead of chocolate cupcakes. Happy Halloween!
Banana Cocoa Ice Cream {no-churn}
My current banana ice cream habit would come to an abrupt halt if there was a banana shortage. But let’s think positive thoughts. This recipe makes the most satisfying chocolate soft ice cream. I think you’ll be amazed at how simple and easy it is to whip up. Sometimes I have it for breakfast and …
Fudge Brownies {coconut flour}
This recipe is new and improved to create a better fudge brownie. And all you need is 1 bowl, 6 ingredients, and 15 minutes to bake! You may be familiar with these brownies, which are more cake-like and still a favorite. But sometimes you just want something with a bit more. And I recognize there …
Chocolate Zucchini Bread {coconut flour}
How is your zucchini inventory at these days? I’ve noticed my zucchini bread recipe is quite active lately so I’m sharing another zucchini bread recipe that’s slated for my next cookbook. I don’t have a variety of pictures for this recipe because I tend to focus on getting one good photo that works well in a cookbook …
Raw Chocolate Cheesecake
I truly belong in a chocolate lovers support group. I few weeks ago I starting feeling a bit sick from eating too many raw brownie bites in order to keep me going on a crazy schedule and fill in for some missed lunches. I’ve successfully avoided chocolate with evaporated cane sugar, but I think I overdosed …
Peace Truffles
I wrapped up my holiday bark production a few days ago. There was the equivalent of about 15 pounds of chocolate in my kitchen, and that means a lot of sugar. For a chocolate lover like me, it can be a very dangerous place to be. But I held back, for the most part. That’s because I avoid …
Chocolate Macaroons
What do you get when you bring cocoa (cacao), coconut, and almonds together? In this case, very decadent chocolate macaroons. And while I’m not a huge consumer of shredded coconut, I enjoy a few macaroons every now and then, including these lemon, vanilla, chocolate-coated macaroons. I’ve been playing around with coconut oil and cocoa butter …
Raw Brownie Bites
The only reason I call these brownie bites is because they’re intoxicating, and therefore I suggest you savor these slowly and in small amounts to prevent any sudden overdose of enjoyment. This recipe is different from the gluten-free baked brownie recipes I’ve made in the past using nut butter, not only because there’s no baking …
Chocolate Chip Muffins {coconut flour}
Here’s a little treat I’ve recently added to my day, since it has been highly compressed lately (the day, not the treat). I pop one or more of these (ok, at least three of the mini muffins) in my mouth as a quick sweet snack and wash it down with an Odwalla Tropical Energy …
Chocolate Ganache {dairy-free}
I eat cupcakes for breakfast. There. I said it. I don’t drink coffee, I don’t drink alcohol (much), I don’t do drugs (if I can help it), and I get a lot of exercise. I wish I got more sleep. And if I had to admit to one vice (I have more), I’d say it’s …
