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

no-oat oatmeal ... its no-atmeal!

this is a variation of the No-Oat Oatmeal by Doug Descant from the Primal Blueprint reader created cookbook ...

since my husband expressed he would like to try this for breakfast, i wanted something ready-to-go so he or i didnt have to prepare this in the morning before work. so i came up with something that could be blended and saved in jar to be scooped out during the week! its my version of the no-atmeal! plus, i finally got a good recipe down and finally wrote it down! horray for me!! haha

here it is! ... and yes, it looks and tastes like oatmeal ;)

this recipe has at least 5-10 servings depending on how much you eat per sitting - keeps me and my husband good monday-friday :)

In a Blender:

• 4 bananas
• 1 cup of unsweetened coconut milk (or almond milk)

blend - making sure not to blend too much, keeping it a bit lumpy ... after several blends it gets too blended so you dont wanna over blend in the beginning

now add:

• 1-2 heaping tablespoons of almond butter
• 2 medjool dates
• 8 tablespoons of coconut flakes

mix and chop a bit ... next add:

• handful of macadamia nuts
• handful of pecans
• handful of walnuts
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 tablespoon ground ginger

chop and process a bit - dont over process as you want the nuts to be in small chunks to create the "lumpiness"... use a spoon to mix any stuff that sticks to the sides

• add a handful of raisins

chop and process a bit  - its nice for the raisins to be in chunks so you dont need to chop that much if you dont want

pour into a jar to put in the frig to eat throughout the week! we got our jar from IKEA :)

enjoy!!
