Servings: 10
Preparation Time: 45 minutes

  • 1 cup sushi rice, (also known as sticky rice)
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 – 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/3 – 1/2 cup sugar for desired sweetness
  • 1 3/4 cups coconut milk*
  • sugar, optional topping
  • shredded coconut, optional topping

Option: You may soak the rinsed rice overnight to remove the phytic acid before cooking.Add rice to boiling, salted water, stirring constantly for 15 minutes. Allow to cool.

In a blender combine 1/4 cup coconut flour with the baking powder and sugar. Add cooked rice and coconut milk, processing until it becomes a thick paste. If more thickening is necessary, add a little more flour.

On a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, create circles with the mixture, 3″- 4″ across and 1/2″ thick. Bake at 350 °F for 20 minutes – the bottoms should be a light, toasty brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle with sugar and shredded coconut. Return to oven for 5 minutes or pop under the broiler to melt the sugar and toast the coconut, optional.

Note: In the Philippines these are baked on banana leaves, cut into rounds. You may cut the parchment in circles around each little cake for easy storage.

  • 1/4 cup gluten free flour blend*
  • 2 tablespoons coconut milk**
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger or 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional

Servings: 16
Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Crust:

Filling:

Glaze:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil the bottom and sides of an 8 x 8 inch baking pan.

In a small mixing bowl, stir together the almond flour, cocoa, and salt. Stir in the vanilla, coconut oil, and maple syrup. Use your hands to press the mixture evenly over the bottom of the oiled baking dish. Bake the crust for 15 minutes. Let it cool completely before spreading on the filling.

Place the blueberries, coconut cream concentrate, vanilla, and maple syrup in a food processor or blender. Blend until fairly smooth, with some pieces of blueberry still visible. Spread the filling over the cooled crust and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before pouring on the glaze.

To make the chocolate glaze, stir together the coconut oil, cocoa powder, and maple syrup until smooth. Pour the glaze over the blueberry filling, tilting the pan to get it evenly over the top. Refrigerate the bars for at least two hours before cutting into squares to serve.

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