Cheesy Einkorn Biscuits Recipe

Prepared by Sarah Shilhavy

Servings: approx. 1 dozen biscuits
Preparation Time: 10 minutes

1 1/2 cups
all purpose einkorn flour
1 cup whole wheat einkorn flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cold
palm shortening,
butter or
coconut oil
1 cup whole milk or coconut milk*
2 cups shredded cheese of choice (cheddar is recommended)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees ºF.

Whisk flours, baking powder, sugar and salt together in a bowl. Cut in shortening or butter until pieces are no smaller than pea-sized. Lightly mix cheese in.

Make a well and pour milk in. Stir a few times with a rubber spatula just until the flour is mostly moistened. It is very crucial not to over-mix. Turn dough out onto a well floured surface and knead 8-12 times. Pat dough out to approximately 1 inch thickness (or desired thickness) and cut with a biscuit cutter.

Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for 12-15 minutes, or until bottoms and edges are golden brown.

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

No Bake Coconut Almond Bars

No Bake Coconut Almond Bars Recipe

photo by recipe author

Servings: 8-10
Preparation Time: 10 minutes

2 1/2 cups Medjool dates
1 cup raw almonds
2 tablespoons
coconut oil, unrefined
1/2 cup
coconut flakes, unsweetened and untoasted
2 teaspoons
cocoa powder
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
Generous pinch sea
salt
1/4 cup dark
chocolate chips, optional

Remove stem fragments from the end of your dates if they’re still attached and then pull the dates in half using your fingers to remove the pit from the middle. In a large food processor fitted with the metal blade, add almonds, pitted dates, and coconut oil. Process until almonds are finely chopped. This is a semi-violent process, so hold on to your processor!

Continue to add each ingredient, one by one, thoroughly mixing with your processor after each addition. If you mix after the addition of each ingredient, your mixture will slowly begin to come together.

After the addition of chocolate chips, continue to pulse until the mixture begins to stick together in large clumps. It should stay together when you pinch it between your fingers. If it’s still crumbly, continue to process and/or add additional coconut oil, a tablespoon at a time until you have the correct consistency.

Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment or wax paper and press mixture evenly into the pan. They are ready to eat as is, straight out of the pan. If you prefer, remove from the pan using your parchment paper and cut into individual portions and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Coconut Bars

photo by recipe author

Servings: 10-12 (depending on how you cut them)
Preparation Time: 10 minutes

2 cups nuts
20 pitted dates (you’ll find these in the dried fruit section of your grocery store)
3/4 cup dried,
unsweetened coconut
2-3 teaspoons
coconut oil

Place your nuts in a food processor and run it until you get a pretty fine texture. It’ll take about a minute. Add your dates, coconut, and 2 teaspoons of the coconut oil and pulse until combined. You want it to be a consistency that will stick together, so if you think you need more “glue” add the 3rd teaspoon of coconut oil.

Dump the mixture out into an 8×8 pan and spread it out evenly. Place it in the fridge to harden up a little and then cut into bars or squares. Store in the fridge and enjoy as a nice healthy snack!
