photo by recipe author

Servings: 9
Preparation Time: 10 minutes

1/2 cup pastured butter
1/3 cup coconut oil
6 ounces organic chocolate chips
1/3 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup organic cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons instant coffee/espresso powder (optional)
1/2 teaspoon stevia powder
2 pastured eggs
1/2 cup organic white chocolate chips
1 cup walnuts
pinch of sea salt

1. Preheat the oven to 325. Grease a 8×8 pan with coconut oil or butter. Set aside.

2. In a double boiler start the butter, coconut oil, and chocolate chips melting over medium heat. You can also use a saucepan over very low heat, if you don’t have a double boiler.

3. In a separate bowl, stir the coconut flour, cocoa powder, and sea salt together and set aside.

4. Continue to stir the melted chocolate mixture until smooth and then remove from heat.

5. Stir in the coffee, vanilla, and stevia powder.

6. Quickly whisk the eggs into the melted chocolate, followed by the flour/cocoa powder mixture. Stir until the flour is mixed in. The batter will be lumpy.

7. Fold the white chocolate chips and the walnuts into the batter.

8. Pour the batter into the greased pan.

9. Bake for 20-25 minutes. The brownies will seem underdone.

10. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before cutting.

Grain-Free Honey Graham Cracker Pie Crust

photo by recipe author

Servings: 8
Preparation Time: 20 minutes

1/4 cup almond flour*
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons organic coconut flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup organic coconut oil, softened
1/4 cup organic honey
1 organic egg
1 teaspoon vanilla

Recipe: Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix the dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and mix until combined.

Using your fingers, press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch pie or tart pan.

Bake for 15 minutes for a pie pan (7 minutes for a tart) if you will not be baking it any further after adding your filling. Cool completely, then add filling.

If your filling requires baking, bake the crust for 5-7 minutes until it’s a very light golden color. Freeze the crust for 30 minutes, then add filling and return to the oven. You may also need to cover the edges as almond flour burns easily.

*You can grind your own almond flour by placing whole almonds in a blender/food processor and blending until you get a fine meal.
