Gluten Free Peach & Pear Crisp

July 10, 2016

peaches

So, it is the middle of summer and my family and I are craving all things Fall.  Why, you ask?  No idea…

Maybe since moving to Southern California from Minnesota, we miss the seasons.  I have been told we have 4 seasons in So Cal, but I have yet to see them…at least not in the drastic manner in which we were used to back in Minnesota. read more

Recipe Notes

If you cannot use the brands that I have listed above, it is NOT a deal breaker.  These are just the best possible and healthiest versions that I have found through all of my years of research and testing.  With regards to canned anything...avoid corn syrup whenever possible.  And your sugars should be the least refined if possible.  Most of all, use your common sense.  If it has too many ingredients and ones you do not recognize as FOOD, avoid it.

Granola won't brown and therefore cannot be used as an indicator of done-ness.  Instead, look for bubbling along sides of ramekin.

Coconut Whipping Cream is optional and recipe can be found here

Recipe Notes

You will notice there are weights for flours instead of cups. Weighing flours in Gluten Free or Grain Free is ESSENTIAL. Flours are typically heavier than traditional gluten containing flours. Always allow yourself more liquid if batter starts to set up and get too dry.

Instructions
Wet Ingredients
  1. Melt butter and add in maple syrup
  2. Mix eggs and milk together, then add in butter/syrup mixture
  3. Set aside
Dry Ingredients, Extras & Final Prep
  1. SIFT together coconut flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt
  2. Mix wet and dry together
  3. Stir in Chia seeds and flax seeds into muffin dough
  4. Let sit for 5 minutes
  5. Fold in blueberries
  6. Stipple batter 3/4 full into greased muffin pans (basically your batter won't be smooth in the cup, it will look rough and rugged)
  7. Bake at 375° for 35-45 minutes. You know they are done with tops start to brown and when touched will 'bounce' back.
Modifications
  1. Instead of blueberries, you can adapt these muffins in many ways! Really, let your imagination run wild. Here are a few that I have tested and the family loves!
  2. Carrot and Raisin 1Cup Shredded Carrots & 3/4 Cup Sulfite free raisins
  3. Cranberry Orange 1 Cup unsweetened frozen cranberries (thawed and minced) & zest of 2 oranges
  4. Banana and Cacao Chip (chocolate) 2 Bananas mashed & 1/2 cup Cacao Chips
Recipe Notes

Baking Paleo is very different than traditional baking. Due to the fact that the flours are much heavier and you are using a lot of eggs, they 'dehydrate' as much as they bake. Depending on the wetness of your final batter, (mine is usually much drier than traditional batter), will affect how long to fully bake them. After a couple trials, you will figure out which consistency works best with your oven and your brand of coconut flour. (yes, that makes a difference)

Mama’s Mocha

April 29, 2016

There are many posts about the ‘Paleo Coffee’ or ‘Buttered Coffee’ or the ‘Bulletproof Coffee’. Indeed, I find this to be a wonderful energy source with the great profile of fats that it contains. BUT, as always I have to push the envelope and ask, “How can I make this even better?” read more
