Servings: 9
Preparation Time: 35 minutes

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Place cupcake liners into muffin tins, or grease liberally and dust using coconut flour.

Chop walnuts into small pieces.

In a mixing bowl, mash bananas until creamy, stir in honey.

Add coconut flour, melted coconut oil, eggs and salt in with the bananas and honey. Using a hand mixer or whisk, mix thoroughly for 1 minute.

Allow batter to sit for 2 minutes to allow the coconut flour time to absorb the liquids.

Add baking soda and walnuts to the batter and stir quickly but only as long as it takes to thoroughly mix in the baking soda.

Fill 9 cupcake forms until full, or you may under fill equally to make an even dozen.

Bake for 25 minutes or until lightly browned on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Servings: 8
Preparation Time: 25 minutes

Cast iron skillets make the best cornbread with a crispy crust but you can use a glass pan instead.

  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • milk
  • 1 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 3/4 cups cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup all purpose gluten free flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup sugar (optional, true southern cornbread does not have any sugar)
  • 2 eggs, preferably free range

Pour the vinegar into a 2 cup measuring cup and add enough milk to make 2 cups.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Place the coconut oil in a 10″ cast iron skillet and place it in the oven to heat.

In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients with a wire whisk.

Whisk the eggs and the milk until blended. Add a little at a time to the dry ingredients until thoroughly blended.

Check the cast iron skillet and see if the oil has started to smoke. If it is hot enough, remove the skillet from the oven carefully and pour the batter into the skillet. This will make the crust nice and crisp.

Place back into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Test with a toothpick or cake tester and if it comes out dry, the bread is done. You can brush with melted butter at this time. Cool and cut into 8 wedges.

Coconut Cream Blonde Macaroons

Servings: about 2 dozen Preparation Time: 30 min prep, varies

First, you’ll need to use the 2 2/3 cups of shredded coconut to make homemade coconut butter, or just 1 cup of Coconut Cream Concentrate instead. Blend the coconut in a high-powered blender or food processor until creamy. (It’s okay if the texture is slightly grainy.) To the coconut butter, add the rest of the ingredients, and mix well until a batter forms.

These macaroons can be baked in an oven, or gently dried in a dehydrator. For the oven, preheat to 300 degrees F and drop batter by rounded tablespoons onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the outsides are crispy, then allow to cool for an additional 25 minutes before removing from the pan to cool completely.

If using a dehydrator, simply drop the batter by rounded tablespoons onto the mesh sheets, and dry at 118 degrees F for up to 24 hours, or until desired crispiness is achieved.
