I should feel guilty eating these but I really don’t. They are so darn good and are great in any meal.

Coco-Nut Brownies (Gluten + Dairy Free)

by on

I have such a sweet tooth and these always hit the spot. I love that they are gluten and dairy free but also includes an alternative sugar (coconut sugar) to sweeten. It makes all the difference. I love chunky brownies so the coconut flakes and walnuts are great additions. Remove them for simple and indulgent fudge brownies that are just as yummy.\

SERVINGS: 6-8        PREP TIME: 10 minutes      COOK TIME: 45 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/2 cup raw almond butter
  • 1/2 cup raw cacao powder
  • 1/4 chocolate chips (I love Pascha + Hu Kitchen choc chips)
  • 1/4 walnuts, finely chopped
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 Tbs coconut flakes
  • 2 Tbs coconut sugar
  • 1 tspn vanilla extract
  • coconut oil spray (for pan)

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9 inch square pan with coconut oil
  2. Mix all ingredients together and pour into pan. Make sure the chocolate chips and walnuts are evenly spread out through the pan.
  3. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Stick a knife in the middle of the pan. If it comes out clean, brownies are ready.
  4. Cool for 10 minutes and enjoy!

Quinoa Fritters (Gluten + Dairy Free)

by on

A great side to any meal. I usually pair my fritters with eggs and smoked salmon for a breakfast/lunch but goes really well with baked salmon or chicken at dinner. Or have it as a stand alone snack with a little schmear (try my fave from Primal Kitchen). Regardless, these are so easy to make. The preparation takes the longest but worth the wait.

 

SERVINGS: 8-12 fritters     PREP TIME: 30 minutes   COOK TIME: 20 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup of cooked quinoa
  • 3 medium eggs
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, grated
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup basil, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup chives, chopped
  • 1/4 cup almond, brown rice or coconut flour
  • 4 Tbs coconut oil or coconut spray
  • 1/2 tspn turmeric powder
  • sea salt and pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Mix all ingredients into mixing bowl.
  2. Generously spray fry pan or griddle with coconut oil.
  3. With a medium size wooden spoon, scoop mixture onto pan and press lightly to flatten. Place as many as you can fit without edges of fritter touching each other. Cook until both sides are lightly golden brown and crispy.
  4. Serve and enjoy!
