Dairy and Gluten Free Pumpkin Pie

My 4 year old son loves pumpkin pie so much that I make it often and he eats it even for breakfast!

Servings: 6
Preparation Time: 20-30 minutes

Crust:

Alternate Crust:

Filling:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix crust ingredients in the food processor. This makes a very soft crust, but bakes into an excellent texture. I like to use a spatula to spread the crust into the pie dish.

For the alternate crust recipe, mix all ingredients in the food processor. This is another gluten-free crust option that is soft in texture and will need to be pressed into the pie dish rather than rolled out.

Mix all filling ingredients in food processor till smooth. Pour into the pie shell and bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes. Chill in refrigerator completely before serving.

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

Preparation Time: 1 hour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees ºF. Grease a 9×13 inch pan with coconut oil.

In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment cream baked sweet potato and coconut oil (doing this while the sweet potato is still warm will melt the coconut oil). Add remaining ingredients, except for chocolate chips, and beat until well mixed. Stir in chocolate chips.

Pour batter into pan. Bake for approximately 25 minutes.

Coconut Mango Salmon

Servings: 4-6
Preparation Time: 20 minutes, plus cooking time

  • 1/4 cup organic sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons potato starch or 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2-3 pounds wild caught salmon (portions or filleted half)
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1 cup organic mango juice
  • 2 Tablespoons organic fermented soy sauce
  • 1- 1 1/2 cup coconut chips
  • extra coconut oil for greasing pan

Preheat oven to 375 degrees ºF.

Lightly grease one or two 13×9 pans with coconut oil (depending on the amount of salmon you are cooking).

Mix together, in a small bowl, the organic sugar and the potato starch (or cornstarch). Arrange salmon in greased pans.

In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup coconut oil over low heat. Once it starts to melt, add the mango juice and soy sauce. Stirring constantly, add the mixture of sugar and potato starch (or cornstarch). Continue to stir until the mango sauce begins to thicken. Pull the saucepan off the heat as soon as you see any sign of thickening.

Spread coconut chips over the portions of salmon.

Pour the mango sauce on top of the salmon, trying to get the moisture to all of the salmon.

Bake in preheated oven for about 15 minutes. You can check to see if the salmon is done by using a fork to gently pull apart the salmon a few inches from the edge. If it is still red and very moist looking, it may need more time. If it is flaky and lighter in color, it’s done.

(This recipe is also excellent with pineapple juice in place of the mango juice.)
