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 …
Thumbprint Cookies
This recipe is great to make with kids (or adults) because the dough needs to be rolled into a ball using your hands, and then you insert your thumb in the middle to flatten it and fill with jelly. Just imagine a Playdough session that results in tasty cookies. My favorite part is the jam. …
Cheesecake Brownies {coconut flour}
A few readers asked me for this recipe, and I am most happy to oblige. It might be a bit early for brownies in some parts of the world, but what the heck. And really, it’s always a good time for brownies. I don’t have much desire to cook or bake during the summer, so …
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 …

Mexican Lasagna
There are so many great ways to make grain-free lasagna. Here’s one of my favorites from one of my cookbooks, The Healthy Coconut Flour Cookbook (page 149). There are a couple of techniques I use to make a gluten-free, grain-free lasagna: use vegetables as noodles, like zucchini or celeriac, bake all the ingredients minus the noodles and call …
Banana Porridge {using coconut flour}
Happy New Year! I’m sharing a new recipe from my coconut flour cookbook, giving away two copies of the coconut flour cookbook. I have sorely missed posting here, but life has kept me way too busy. A new job, both boys home from college, my need to downsize, and my furry companion have been the primary focus for me the …
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!
Chocolate Chip Scones {using coconut flour}
Delicious scones made with just coconut flour. This recipe hails from the Healthy Coconut Flour Cookbook. To celebrate the book’s release this month, I’m giving two winners a one pound bag of coconut flour from Nuts.com and a copy of the Healthy Coconut Flour Cookbook. To enter, tell me your favorite Comfy Belly recipe (especially if it …
Healthy Coconut Flour Cookbook
About the book Coconut flour contains no gluten and no grain, and is naturally sweet and nut-free. It’s low in digestive carbs and high in fiber, making it a favorite choice when eating gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free, and low-glycemic. In addition to what coconut flour doesn’t contain, what it does contain is just as impressive. Not only is …
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 …
