2 Ingredient Pancakes

We’ll get to the 2 ingredient pancakes in a minute, but first let’s talk about almond flour. I mean, if you want. You can scroll down to the good stuff if you’d rather do that.

A blog post about the perils of almond flour has been making its rounds lately. These things kind of bug me because people start freaking out:2 Ingredient Pancakes - IfCaveMomBakedCookies.com

“I thought almond flour was okay!”

“So, I can’t bake anymore?”

“I’m so confused, what can I eat?”

This particular post said that there are about 90 almonds in a cup of almond flour (I make my own almond flour, and I counted about 70 blanched, whole almonds). I don’t know about you, but if I ate a full cup of almond flour in one day I’d be having some problems. Continue reading →

Do you like your cookies chewy? These simple Paleo chocolate chip cookies have a tempting texture that may force you to shift your willpower into overdrive!

Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies - IfCaveMomBakedCookies.com

I made these cookies last night. I put them in an air-tight container and stuck it in the freezer. They became crispy (no, not the icy kind of crispy!) which works well, too.

Truth be told, I like my chocolate chip cookies however I can get them.

The shredded coconut adds more to the texture of the cookie rather than giving it a coconutty taste. Although, I might not be able to taste it so much because I eat boatloads of coconut products and I’m immune to the flavor! This is a possibility. Continue reading →

These simple Paleo cakes can also be made as cupcakes or muffins.

I used this fancy-schmancy pan that I got for Christmas to make cute little bug cakes. Nordic Ware makes a variety of Paleo Cakes Chocolate Banana Marble - ifcavemombakedcookies.comthese molds that make different shapes, like cars, zoo animals, and dinosaurs. The pans are made of aluminum and they use a non-stick coating, which I’m not a fan of, but how often do you make little bug-shaped cakes?

Sometimes you just gotta throw Paleo caution to the wind!

Don’t be put off by the coconut-flour-only nature of this recipe. It’s actually fluffy and moist, and doesn’t have that weird throat-grabbing texture that can happen with a lot of coconut flour recipes.  Continue reading →

Mmmmm . . . I do!

Paleo Pumpkin Pie

I wish I could give you a bite of this pie so you could taste how awesome it is.

It’s better once the flavors settle, so try to make it the day or night before serving.

The crust is from a recipe that’s on the Tropical Traditions website called grain-free honey graham cracker pie crust. It’s a simple recipe that works well with this pie. It tastes kind of like a ginger snap, with a cookie texture that holds up well and doesn’t flake apart. Continue reading →
