No Flour Coconut Peanut Butter Cookies

Do you like peanut butter?

If the answer is yes, then you probably like peanut butter cookies as well.

And right now, that’s a good thing, because I have an amazing recipe for you today.

When I was making this recipe I was expecting something like the normal flourless peanut butter cookies which are rich, buttery, crumbly and crunchy-ish.

When these little guys came out they looked…ugly (blunt, I know). But they smelled good, and after a few minutes of cooling I had had enough of just looking at and smelling them. I grabbed one and sunk my teeth into the warm center, expecting something like the normal flourless PB cookies. Instead, it was chewy. Very *chewy*. The chocolate chips were still warm and soft and the cookie edges were crisp, and it was extremely rich, creamy and buttery. I loved it.

Despite their richness, I couldn’t keep my hands off them. The rich, creamy, buttery, ultra chewy, coconutty and peanutbuttery cookies were just too much to resist. You have got to give these a try.

Just don’t eat them all yourself.

Quick Lemon Coconut Candy

I love this recipe. It’s easy, just a handful of ingredients, and no cooking involved.

If you read the comments below from when the recipe was first posted you’ll see my comment and the way I like to make it. But you don’t have to; I can tell you right now.

I like to use the juice from 2 (usually large) lemons, and all of their zest (or almost all). Then I warm the Coconut Cream Concentrate to a smooth, stir-able, peanut butter consistency and stir all the ingredients together. Warming the CCC is important; that’s what gives the balls a smooth, creamy, melt-in-you-mouth taste and texture. I usually don’t use any of the optional stuff. Sometimes I even add a few tablespoons of melted coconut oil in, but that is totally optional as there is already a good amount of oil in the CCC.

After stirring everything together, I scoop the balls unto a cookie sheet (or whatever other flat baking-pan like thing my hands grabbed first) and freeze or refrigerate until firm. If the mixture is too thin for scooping just stick the bowl into the freezer for a couple minutes at a time and stir until the desired consistency is achieved.

So when life gives you lemons, make these. Watch the video for a quick walk-through and enjoy these tart and creamy little bites. The only thing you’ll have to worry about is not eating the entire batch in one day.

Enjoying Lemons,

Sarah:)

Mix the first 4-5 ingredients together until well mixed and smooth. Form into balls, roll them in the coconut flakes and refrigerate or freeze. You can also put them in candy molds without the coconut flakes to get a different look. They will harden when refrigerated.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Mushroom & Red Pepper Mozzarella Omelet

Have you checked out Tropical Traditions’ newest product? It’s eggs, soy free eggs at that! Head on over to Grass Fed Traditions and check them out, just click here.

I know what you’re thinking.

Eggs? Seriously? But…won’t they all break during the shipping process?

Nope! We’ve tested (and then tested some more) and the eggs don’t break. The shells are thick and the eggs are very well packaged. But if some do break, Tropical Traditions will gladly refund or reship.

Have I mentioned how amazing these eggs taste?

I think “yum” and “delicious” don’t even begin to describe them.

When you cook them up into scrambled eggs or into an omelet for breakfast, you just can’t help but notice how rich the orange color of the yolks are, and what a bright, cheerful yellow they remain even when cooked. They won’t turn into a tired, pale white-ish yellow when cooked.

Honestly, I think the word that describes them best is flavorful. They’re not bland and on the tasteless side, making you want to load them with something like ketchup to give them some contrasting pizzazz.

With these you appreciate the subtle yet rich, almost delicate creamy flavor. All they really need is some salt and pepper and butter with a bit of coconut oil to bring out and accent the buttery flavor. But if you really like ketchup on your eggs, then be my guest. Drown them all you like. The tang will accent the creaminess even more.

To showcase these high quality eggs make the Mushroom & Red Pepper Mozzarella Omelet recipe below. It’s delicious, cheesy, fluffy and buttery. Enough said.

Mushroom & Red Pepper Mozzarella Omelet

Serves: 4-5
Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Heat the butter and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium heat in a large skillet until butter begins to bubble. Sauté the mushrooms with a sprinkle of Italian seasoning and garlic powder until caramelized and browned. Remove to a bowl and set aside.

Meanwhile, whisk the eggs and egg yolks together and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan if needed and heat to a high heat.

Pour egg mixture into the pan. Lift the edges up as it’s cooking and allow the uncooked egg mixture to flow underneath. Flip omelet over to cook on other side.

Spread the mushrooms, red pepper and cheese on half of the omelet, reserving a little bit of the pepper and cheese to garnish the top. Fold over in half and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish and eat.

Enjoy!
