Servings: 12
Preparation Time: 1 hour

Cookie:

Chocolate Sauce:

Filling:

In a mixing bowl, combine cookie ingredients and knead until smooth. Roll out between two pieces of parchment paper until about ¼ inch thick. Using a donut cutter, cut out small circular cookies. Re-roll dough and cut until all dough is used.

Bake at 375 °F for 10 minutes or until slightly brown. Let cool about 15 minutes.

Melt chocolate chips and coconut milk in a double boiler. Dip the bottoms of cookies into chocolate sauce and place on a parchment lined baking pan. Chill for about 20 minutes or until chocolate has hardened.

Meanwhile, bring coconut milk, honey and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan. Boil for about 5 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in coconut flakes. Carefully spoon coconut filling onto cooled cookies. Drizzle with any remaining chocolate sauce and let chill again for about 20 minutes.

Servings: 8-10
Preparation Time: 2 hours

  • 10-15 slices of dry bread, broke into small pieces (can be gluten-free bread)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 large stalk of rhubarb, diced
  • 1/4 cup dried plums (or raisins)
  • 2/3 cup coconut milk*
  • 1/4 cup raw honey
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • coconut oil for greasing pan

In a large bowl, combine bread pieces, eggs, rhubarb, plum, milk, honey, cinnamon and vanilla. Gently mix together with hands until bread starts to moisten. There should be enough milk mixture to cover the bread. If not, add more milk at a rate of 1/4 cup at a time.

Let the mixture set for about an hour in the refrigerator to ensure the bread has absorbed the ingredients.

Pour into a greased 9×9 baking dish. (Cover with foil before baking if you want a less brown crust). Bake at 350 °F for about 40 minutes. The pudding mixture should be set when cooking is complete.

Servings: 6-8
Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Preheat oven to 350 ºF

Using coconut oil or butter, grease the bottom and sides of an 8 or 9 inch pie dish. Set aside.

Using a blender, whip the coconut milk, eggs, maple syrup, coconut flour, brown rice flour, vanilla extract, and sea salt till smooth and frothy. (Can also be whisked vigorously by hand.)

Pour roughly half an inch of batter into the greased dish and bake it in the oven until it is lightly set – just a few minutes. Take the baking dish out of the oven and add the blueberries in an even layer. Pour on the remaining batter.

Return the dish to the oven and bake for about 50 to 55 minutes, until slightly golden around the edges, and set in the center.

Serve at room temperature, with a dollop of coconut milk whipped cream and a sprinkling of cinnamon, if desired.

  • 2 cups coconut milk*
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 8 eggs
  • 1 cup tapioca flour

First, make buttermilk by mixing the coconut milk with the apple cider vinegar. Allow it to sit 5-10 minutes.

Preheat your waffle maker.

With a handheld electric mixer, combine the buttermilk with the remaining ingredients. Mix until big lumps are gone, being careful not to over-mix.

Make the waffles in your waffle maker. The batter is not pourable, so use a measuring scoop to spread the batter evenly over the heated surface.

Enjoy with real maple syrup!
