paleo brownies!!!!!!!

get ready for some awesomeness because i figured out how to make paleo brownies!!!!


paleo brownies

• 3/4 cup processed nuts or nut flour (like almond flour or coconut flour) - i like to process a mix of nuts in the blender like brazil nuts, walnuts, pecans, almonds, and macadamia nuts - its ok if its not as fine as flour just ground up is good
• 2 bananas
• 2 dates
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup coconut milk
• 1/4 cup coconut flakes
• 2 teaspoon coconut oil
• 1 1/2 tablespoon cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup bitter-sweet or semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

1. mix all ingredients in a bowl (you can choose to just mash up bananas and chop up dates or process them in a blender with the raisins and coconut milk - either works great)
2. line baking pan with butter and pour in mixture
3. bake at 350 for 20 minutes
4. enjoy the yumminess!

double batch recipe

paleo cookies!

last week i had my first attempt at making paleo cookies! turned out pretty good for a first run ;)

i combined a banana, egg, coconut milk, coconut oil, almond milk, almond butter, vanilla extract, lots of coconut flakes,  nuts (forgot what exactly i threw in there! haha), cocoa powder, raisins and chopped up dark chocolate.

they turned out more like macaroons ;)

they didnt seem to have enough sweet kick since i was avoiding using sugar so i fixed it by using a natural sugar - maple syrup! i dug some holes in the center added maple syrup and some salt. apparently salt really helps! here's how they look after the adjustment - now lava macaroons!

they were totally yummy after sitting in the fridge and soaking up the maple syrup!! :D

im working on perfecting the recipe so i will keep ya'll posted ;)
