Challenge Over!!


Howdy!

For some reason, even before I have finished this post, I am afraid that this post is going to backfire. I fear that this is going to be THE downfall for most of you. Ill post it anyway but if I start seeing food logs with just these items on it there is going to be literal HELL to pay. BUT! If one of you wants to cook a sweet batch up for me, cause I pretty much only leave myself time for the hunting and cooking of animals, there would be hugs in it for you. Enjoy and let me know how it goes.


Paleo Muffins: Ingredients: * 2 cups almond flour (almond meal) * 2 teaspoons baking powder * 1/4 teaspoon salt * 1/4 coconut oil * 4 eggs * 1/3 cup water *Add blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, peanut butter, chopped nuts, or any other fruit as desired, cinnamon/coco and other similar ingredients can be included. Preparation: 1) Preheat oven to 350 F. 2) You can really do it with any size, but I'm basing the recipe on a 12-muffin tin. 3) Mix dry ingredients together well. 4) Add wet ingredients and mix thoroughly (You don't want strings of egg white in there and you don't have to worry about "tunnels" when you are using almond meal). 5) Put in muffin tins (about 1/2 to 2/3 full) and bake for about 15 minutes.


Paleo Doughnuts: Ingredients: * 1 cup flax meal * 1 cup almond meal * 1 T baking powder * 1/4 t salt * 1 and 1/4 t nutmeg * 1 t honey * 1 t cinnamon * 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted * 4 eggs, beaten * 1/2 cup plus 2 T water Preparation: Makes 12 regular-size muffins 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 2. Mix dry ingredients well (exclude those used for topping). 3. Add beaten eggs, melted butter, water, and sweetener to the dry mixture. Mix well. 4. Fill muffin cups a bit more than half way with the mixture. 5. Bake for about 20 minutes, until tops are golden brown. Allow muffins to cool in pan for a few minutes, then remove. 6. Mix the cinnamon and powdered sweetener for the topping in a clean bowl. 7. When the muffins are cool enough to handle, dip the tops in the melted butter you allocated for the topping, followed by the sweetener/cinnamon mixture.


Paleo Pancakes: Ingredients: * 1 cup almond flour * 2 eggs * 1/4 cup water (for puffier pancakes, you can use sparkling water) * 2 T coconut oil * 1/4 teaspoon salt * 1 T honey Preparation: Mix ingredients together and cook as you would other pancakes. I like to use a nonstick pan with a little oil. The only real difference is that they won't "bubble" on top the same way as regular pancakes. Flip them when the underside is brown.
