Combine flour, salt and garlic in a large mixing bowl and add in the olives.

Pour the melted coconut oil and egg over the mixture and stir until combined.

Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper with another piece of parchment placed over top.

Press the dough dough a bit and then roll it out with a rolling pin until it’s about 1/4 inch thick.

Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the crackers into the desired size.

Servings: 5-6
Preparation Time: 6 minutes + chill time

Heat 3/4 cup or 1/2 can of full fat coconut milk in a small saucepan on the stovetop until it is steaming hot but not boiling.

While it is heating, break 2 eggs directly into a blender. Add the semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips or roughly chopped chunks, honey and vanilla. Cover the blender jar and turn on. It will be rough with the chocolate but just keep it going for 30 seconds or so.

Carefully remove the lid and begin pouring in the hot coconut milk in a slow stream so as to gradually heat the eggs. The more you pour in, the more the mixture will smooth out. When all the coconut milk is incorporated, pour into ramekins (5 or 6) and chill in refrigerator until ready to eat (at least 3 hours).

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

Servings: 4
Preparation Time: 20 minutes

Preheat waffle iron to low heat.

Separate eggs, placing the yolks in a bowl and the whites in another.

Use a hand blender to whip egg whites until soft peaks begin to form. Set aside.

Combine applesauce, lemon zest, juice, vanilla and melted butter, mixing together with the egg yolks.

Sift in coconut flour and baking soda.

Fold in egg whites with the rest of the waffle batter being careful to not completely flatten the egg whites. Gently mix in blueberries.

Generously grease waffle iron with coconut oil or butter and drop a large spoonful of batter into the center. Do not fill iron completely with batter. Carefully remove waffles when they are done and repeat with remaining batter. (These waffles are very light so I suggest removing them carefully with a flat spatula).

Serve with a scoop of whipped cream or drizzle of maple syrup.
