Optional: Add, according to your own preferences or what’s on hand

  • 1 to 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup organic raisins
  • Sliced almonds for part or all of, or in addition to, the pecans
  • 1/2 cup fresh or dried or frozen cranberries
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup fresh or dried or frozen blueberries

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, water and milk/cream, coconut oil, Coconut Cream Concentrate, organic whole sugar (or desired sweetener), coconut flour, salt, and vanilla. Beat until well mixed.

Fold in 1 cup of the dried coconut (reserving 1/2 cup of the flakes) and fruits or nuts of your choice, and the bread pieces. Mix only enough to evenly distribute ingredients and make sure all the bread is moistened with the mixture.

Pour mixture into oiled baking pan or casserole. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup coconut flakes (and more nuts if desired) over the mixture.

Bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees and bake for another 50 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly tapped. Enjoy plain or topped with your favorite topping.

Coconut Wild Blueberry Muffins

Blueberry Muffins
example photo shown

Filled with wonderful coconut, fruit and fiber. I eat them for quick energy before each of my workout sessions – and they only take minutes to make.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 18 muffin tins with oil, or use muffin/cupcake papers. Set aside.

Mix the first 7 ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.

Over low heat slowly melt the butter, coconut oil, and coconut cream concentrate together. When melted (but not hot!) remove from heat and add sugar. Stir until dissolved. Beat in eggs one at a time until well blended and add vanilla extract. Add dry ingredients to egg mixture all at once; stir until well incorporated. Stir in frozen blueberries.

Fill muffin tins using a cookie or ice-cream scoop so each cup has exactly the same amount of batter – or a tablespoon if you don’t have a scoop – fill each muffin tin or paper 3/4 full.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, rotating pan at the 10 minute mark. Cool on wire racks. These freeze well, and defrost well.

* To make vanilla salt (lovely in all baked goods), save any vanilla beans used to make ice-cream. Wash thoroughly to remove any cream, and then pat dry. Roll in a clean dry paper towel, and allow to sit out for a few days until bone dry. Add to a small food processor or blender with sea salt, and process until the vanilla is in tiny pieces with the salt.

GLAZE:

For sprinkling on glaze:

Place first set of ingredients in bread machine in the order given. Set machine to “Dough” cycle.

While dough is mixing, combine the GLAZE ingredients in a small sauce pan and simmer 15 minutes over low heat, stirring often. Cranberries will plump during this process. Turn off heat and allow to cool at room temperature while dough rises.

When dough has risen in bread machine, remove from container and place on floured surface. Flatten slightly and roll into a 10″ by 12-14″ rectangle about ½” thick.

Spoon the cranberries and about one forth of the glaze onto the dough and spread evenly across surface. Sprinkle shredded coconut and cinnamon on top of cranberries. (Warm glaze gently in saucepan if it has become too stiff.)

Beginning at one long side, roll up dough jelly roll style, pinching seam to seal. Cut rolled dough into 1 inch thick slices and place in a large baking pan.

Spoon remaining glaze over each roll and sprinkle with additional shredded coconut Cover and place in a warm place to rise until double in bulk.

Bake in preheated 350 F oven 10-15 minutes until light golden brown. Makes 24 rolls.

These store in the refrigerator very well and can be warmed in a toaster oven.
