Servings: 9
Preparation Time: 1 hour and 10 minutes

Slice the orange, remove seeds and place in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to boil, then simmer for 1 hour with a lid on. Remove the orange from the pan and let cool. Once cool, place in a food processor or blender and blitz until smooth.

Preheat the oven to 350° F.

Line and grease a baking tin (I used an 8 inch square tin).

In a bowl, place the melted butter, vanilla, eggs and mix well. Add the orange mixture, combine until smooth. Add the dry ingredients, one at a time into the orange mixture, combine well.

Pour the mixture into the baking tin, place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven, allow to cool then slice and serve. (Optional: Serve each brownie with a slice of fresh orange.)

Servings: 1
Preparation Time: 5 minutes

  • 1 red onion
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil, melted

Cut an onion five times down the middle until you get 1 inch from the bottom of the onion then splash on the balsamic vinegar, coconut oil, salt, pepper and rosemary.

Broil in the oven at 400° F for 15-20 minutes. Serve hot.

Note: Some ovens have broil settings which are adjustable, however if your oven has a predetermined broil temperature then you may place your pan with the onion on the middle rack and monitor carefully until done. (Onion should be soft and translucent but not mushy.)

Servings: 6 cupcakes
Preparation Time: 15 minutes

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup raw honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons coconut milk*
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 red apple
  • 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil for cooking

Pre-heat oven to 400° F.

Blend butter, eggs, honey, vanilla extract and coconut milk. Add coconut flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon and whisk until the batter is smooth. Pour the batter into cupcake cups.

Slice the apple into quarters and remove the pips and core then slice each quarter into several thin slices. On a stovetop, cook the apple slices in a sauce pan on medium-high heat with a little bit of coconut oil (1/2 tablespoon or more, if needed) for 30 seconds on each side until apples become flexible but not soft. Remove from pan to a plate covered with a paper towel and allow to cool. Then gently press the apple slices into the cupcake batter on top of each cupcake with the peeled edge visible on the top. Start on the outside and work your way inwards to produce a rose effect.

Bake 20-25 minutes until cooked through.

*For the freshest coconut milk make homemade coconut milk. (See video at this link.)
