Red, White, and Blue Coconut Celebration Cups (Low-Carb, Honey-Sweetened)

07/03/2017
Red, White, and Blue Coconut Celebration Cups are a simple, tasty, summertime treat!

I'll be poolside with these fruit-loaded, chocolate-drizzled coconut cups tomorrow, celebrating American independence on the 4th of July. 🇺🇸 I wanted something that requires minimal time and effort to pull together yet is color-coordinated with the holiday. Enter these Red, White, and Blue Coconut Celebration Cups. Chocolate and Coconut is such a delightful combina[...]

Vanilla Protein Blackberry Crumble Bars (Grain/Gluten-Free)

06/19/2017

I'm posting these Vanilla Protein Blackberry Crumble Bars in honor of the rebrand over at Equip Foods, my favorite protein brand. These are made with Equip's vanilla Prime Protein, which I love because it has only four ingredients: beef isolate, coconut milk powder, vanilla, and stevia. No gluten, dairy, whey, soy, hormones, antibiotics, fillers, artificial sweeteners, or preservatives. Ma[...]

3-Ingredient No-Bake Coconut Honey Nut Butter Cups (Grain/Gluten-Free)

04/17/2017
3-Ingredient No-Bake Coconut Honey Nut Butter Cups

Yes, I know "simple" is so over-used by recipes where one of the ingredients is puff pastry, or Nutella, or boxed cake mix. But this is the real deal, old-fashioned simple. If you don't opt for the toppings, these are the simplest, easiest, no-brainiest bars ever to be.  There are literally 3 ingredients, no baking. Only measuring. Measuring just three ingredients. Of course, I co[...]

Springtime Honey Lemon Cookies (Grain/Gluten-Free)

03/12/2017

Can you tell I am so ready for spring? These simple springtime-inspired honey lemon cookies helped ease the craving for warm weather, buds opening in the gardens and on trees, and baby animals frolicking (I'm nostalgic for the chicks and foals every year on my parents' ranch back in Texas during my childhood). I also used this cookie recipe as an excuse to dig into honey contamination, adulte[...]

2 Ingredient Banana Nut Cookies

12/19/2016
These amazingly simple 2 Ingredient Banana Nut Cookies are a quick, healthy, versatile snack as is or a great starting point to play with add-ins. | Fresh Planet Flavor

These 2 Ingredient Banana Nut Cookies are low-key genius. Combine nuts and banana, bake. When I first developed my 2 Ingredient Banana Coconut Cookies, I was amazed that something so simple as bananas and coconut could possibly combine to create anything that even remotely resembled a cookie. The same amazement applies to these 2 Ingredient Banana Nut Cookies (the basic version without add-in[...]

Pumpkin Spice Latte Creme Cups: dairy free, and sweetened only with fruit! Vegan, paleo, healthy... get the recipe!

I'm back! I took an unintentional month-long hiatus from blogging, because sometimes life gets unexpectedly busy, but I'm delighted to be back in time to present my first pumpkin recipe of the year. This is my small tribute to the famous, ubiquitous Pumpkin Spice Latte... in dairy free, fruit-sweetened creme cup form. The pumpkin creme that is piped on top is incredibly versatile an[...]

Pea Milk Review (Ripple) + Vegan Blackberry Banana Nice Cream

05/18/2016

We need to talk about pea milk. Because a new non-dairy milk substitute made from yellow peas hit the grocery store shelves 15 days ago and while I didn't sit down this morning with the intention of writing a pea milk review before day's end, the product piqued my interest so much when it crossed my radar that I researched it and taste-tested it myself as soon as possible. Alth[...]

Paleo Baking’s Fresh Raspberry French Silk Pie

Using whipped coconut cream for decadent cloudy texture, this Fresh Raspberry French Silk Pie will be the belle of your dessert recipe repertoire. Click to read the full recipe!

Fresh Raspberry French Silk Pie? When I heard the name for this recipe, I couldn't imagine a more decadent and luxurious one, and the recipe has turned out to live up to it in spades. (In spades: being the language nerd that I am, I couldn't help stopping to research the derivation of this phrase while writing this post. Turns out it has nothing to do with the gardening implement, and everything t[...]

Brown Butter Chocolate Pecan Bars

Brown Butter Chocolate Pecan Bars (gluten-free, grain-free)| GrokGrub.com

Here they are: BROWN BUTTER chocolate pecan bars (or BBCPB, according to my affectionate abbreviation for them). Brown butter and I are having quite the moment... I can't get enough of creamy pastured butter from happy, healthy cows toasted to nutty perfection and finished with a dash of nutmeg to pull the flavor deeper into rich caramel. This depth of flavor is tempered but th[...]

Busy Baker’s Quick Apple Pie

Busy Baker's Quick Apple Pie: this is an easy variation on apple pie which is both fast and delicious! Perfect if you're looking to get the flavor of apple pie but with less added sugar and no gluten, artificial flavors, or fillers. | GrokGrub.com

I created this Quick Apple Pie recipe in honor of Pi Day. This year's Pi Day was an extra-special occurrence... a once in a lifetime one, actually. March 14 (or 3/14) celebrates the mathematical constant of pi. Pi represents the ratio of circumference of a circle divided by its diameter. While it is often abbreviated as 3.14, pi has an infinite number of digits beyond the decimal poin[...]

Winter Wonderland Hot Milk Cake

This Winter Wonderland Hot Milk Cake is a coconut-flour dessert of tender golden layers piled high with coconut and winter fruit! | GrokGrub.com

I consider myself "team pie" when I think about it. . . but I never seem to bake pies. :-P Is there a single pie on this site? I don't think so. Cake, though. I've made some cakes: Pineapple Dreams Coconut Cake, Easy Chocolate Strawberry Cake, Chocolate Gingerbread Cake, Vegan Heartache Cake and even a Meat Cake! But this cake is very different from all the rest, because it ha[...]

Pumpkin Seed Moringa Cupcakes (Grain/Gluten-Free)

These green pumpkin-seed cupcakes feature moringa: a vitamin-rich superfood plant that's more nutritious than kale!

Lisa Curtis, the founder of Kuli Kuli Foods, experienced the malnutrition that plagues rural communities in West Africa first-hand. After a few months of volunteering in Niger with limited access to fruits and vegetables, Lisa found herself experiencing early signs of malnutrition—a condition that affects over 18 million children across West Africa. Then she began to incorporate m[...]

This Dreamboat Pineapple Coconut Cake is a slice of tropical paradise on a plate! | GrokGrub.com #grainfree #nutfree #healthy #paleo #cake

I'll bake you a cake, yes. But you should know that it will likely be a recipe I invented the same day, and its debut for you will be its raison d'être.  That's certainly the case with this Pineapple Dreams Coconut Cake. I invented it for a birthday, and named it the way I did because it totally the stuff of dreams if you're a tropical pineapple lover. Nibbling the last littl[...]

Easy Chocolate Strawberry Cake

I know. I know! But trust me when I say that this is a cake that you can throw together on short notice. A cake that goes with coffee, and friends coming over, children and dogs underfoot. It might be breakfast. It is fruit-sweetened, nut-free, grain-free, and dairy-free, sure. It’s not the healthiest thing you can make, it’s a cake. But a cake that unders[...]

Sometimes I take recipe requests. ;) When a friend of mine asked me to create a grain-free version of some key lime white chocolate cookies, I couldn't resist! But I decided to go in a very different direction to make them mini "cheesecakes" of puréed cashews. They're a no-bake treat in addition to being dead simple and grain-free, because who wants to turn the oven on i[...]

No-bake cookie dough. In a jar. If that doesn't spell lazy decadence, I don't know what does. This no-bake cookie dough is perfect for those moments when you are desperately craving something sweet and chocolate-y, but don’t have the time (or patience) to make a full-blown batch of cookies.

Avocados are just one of my favorite food on the planet, no big deal.  It's always the right time to eat avocados, they can hold my interest meal after meal. Equally delicious as guacamole loaded onto plantain chips, sprinkled over baked eggs for breakfast or eaten plain with a spoon as a pre-workout snack, the possibilities are endless!

Hello, friend. I must confess: I don't believe in OMG ANTIOXIDANT SUPERFOODS too much. I believe that some foods are more full than others of the things that make us healthy and happy, yes. These foods come "packaged" in skin and shells and scales, they have roots and rinds, ripeness and rottenness. But! Sometimes it's such fun to play with the buzzwords, to write a recipe cra[...]

Paleo Melktert (grain free, dairy free, paleo) | GrokGrub.com

I was introduced to melktert (which means "milk tart" in Afrikaans) on Jamie Oliver's Instagram. He described the melktert as "naughty" which made me smile and made the idea stick in my head (the photo of his totally gorgeous rendition probably helped with this). That cracked caramel brûlée top! Swoon. ANYWAY. I got to thinking whether a paleo melktert might be possible. The tradition[...]

My mother is really a paleo original. She raised my brother and me on a diet remarkably similar to the paleo nutritional template, long before "paleo" entered the national vocabulary. But more than adhering to any particular dietary dogma (she experiments with new foods and cooking methods, plus attempts reintroduction regularly) my mother insists on the highest standard of food quality.[...]
