BATTER

TOPPING

GLAZE

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees ºF. Generously butter a 9×13″ pan.

Prepare the batter by combining the flours, salt, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in these ingredients and add in the honey, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk these together and slowly begin incorporating the surrounding dry ingredients. When these are partially mixed together, pour in the melted coconut oil. Stir together just until combined. Scrape the batter out into prepared 9×13″ pan.

Prepare the topping by combining the butter and honey together in a small saucepan. Put this over low heat and allow them to melt together. Remove from heat and stir in coconut flour and cinnamon.

Scoop the topping on top of the batter into even piles and then use a butter knife to swirl this roughly into the batter. This will be a little messy and may not swirl perfectly but it will all incorporate during baking.

Place cake in oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until center is just barely set when a toothpick or knife is inserted.

Remove and allow to cool to room temperature.

Prepare glaze by creaming together all ingredients with a fork. Spread this thinly over cake. Slice and serve.

Servings: 24
Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Preheat oven to 325 degrees ºF. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Cream the coconut oil and sugar in a large bowl, add the eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix the oats, almond flour, baking soda and salt. Stir the wet and dry together, then add the raisins, coconut, and pecans.

Roll into golf-ball sized cookies, and flatten slightly with your palm. The cookies shouldn’t spread too much, so you can place them about an inch apart.

Bake for 8-12 minutes, until the cookies are golden and fragrant.

Best when served chilled.

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