Servings: 24
Preparation Time: 20 minutes

In a small bowl, combine coconut flour, salt and baking soda.

If coconut oil and honey are not liquid, warm in a small saucepan over lowest heat to liquefy.

In a large bowl beat eggs well with an electric mixer. Then add honey, coconut oil, applesauce, lemon rind and juice, and vanilla and blend well.

Mix dry ingredients into wet. Let batter sit for a couple minutes while the coconut flour absorbs.

Gently fold in blueberries.

Place batter into two paper lined 12 cup muffin pans.

Bake at 350 degrees °F for about 18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean (well, without batter, that is… it may have a juicy blueberry stain!)

Cool and serve.

Raw Sweet & Sour Sauce with Cabbage Salad Rolls

Serve on the side with fresh salad rolls (recipe below) or toss over fresh veggies like pineapple, red onion, bell pepper, zucchini, and broccoli to create a meal.

Servings: 3
Preparation Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes

Thai Style Salad Rolls:

  • 1 head cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 large carrot
  • 1 bunch fresh mint
  • 1 mango
  • 3 tablespoons Atchara
  • optional: handful fresh basil or cilantro

Sweet & Sour Sauce

Place the head of cabbage on the table with the core facing up back at you. Take a knife and cut the core out, making a square around it. Once the core is removed, you should be able to pretty easily slide each leaf off separately pulling up from the base. If the leaves don’t peel off easily, then cut the whole around the core a bit wider. Once you have about 8 to 12 cabbage leaves, rub each one in a little bit of warmed coconut oil. Set them in the dehydrator (this will work best in a large dehydrator). Dry at 115 ºF for 1 hour.

While the cabbage leaves are wilting in the dehydrator, slice the fruits and veggies into long thin strips to use as filling in your rolls. You can also shred any of the remaining cabbage you have left.

Remove leaves from dehydrator and stuff with your favorite fresh veggies, cabbage and atchara, and then wrap and roll. I find it works best to put the filling ingredients near the base of the leaf, fold over the sides, then roll up into the top of the leaf. If there are any large spines/stems on your leaves, you can also cut them out.

Blend all sauce ingredients in a blender and serve with the rolls.

Gluten Free Homemade Egg Noodles

Servings: 4
Preparation Time: 15 minutes

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups gluten-free all purpose flour plus 1/2 cup for rolling out*

Beat eggs in heavy duty stand mixer, add coconut oil, water and salt. Continue mixing until coconut oil is broken up and evenly distributed. (It’s not necessary to melt the coconut oil first). Add flour and continue mixing thoroughly. Dough will form a nice ball.

Put dough on a flat, thoroughly floured surface and roll out with rolling pin until it is thin, turning as needed, so flour coats both sides and dough is no longer sticky.

Cut flat dough into strips of desired width — a pizza cutter works nice for this step. If dough sticks to the surface, use a spatula to lift.

To cook, put into salted boiling water for approximately 3 minutes. Adjust cooking time if needed.

These noodles can be frozen uncooked, then used as needed. They’re great for any noodle recipe like chicken noodle soup, or with a dish like beef burgundy or stroganoff.

*You can make your own gluten free flour mix from one of our recipes here.
