"Gone Bananas" Muffins

November 25, 2017 0 Comments

Looking for a banana muffin recipe that is dairy free, egg free, with no refined sugar? Look no further; your recipe is here. My boys and I love these muffins, hence the name"Gone Bananas" Muffins.  They never last long in our house.

Here is what you will need to get started.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup organic whole wheat flour
3/4 cup organic all purpose flour
1/4 tsp cream of tartar 
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp organic ground flax seed
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup organic coconut oil
1/3 cup raw honey
2 organic ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup organic walnuts, chopped (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a standard muffin pan. I use liners as it makes for easy clean up.  

Make flax egg. Combine 1/2 cup warm water with 2 tbsp ground flax seed in a small bowl.  Let it set for 5 minutes.

Add flours, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, coconut oil, honey, mashed banana, and flax egg mixture to bowl. You can add walnuts at this time if using. If your making this for kids it is best to break the nuts in small pieces or pulse in food processor for a few minutes; as mine do not like big chunks of nuts in their muffin.The nuts are great to help stabilize the sweetness of these muffins.

Bake for 20 to 22 minutes. Check them by inserting a toothpick in the muffin. If it comes out clean they are done.  Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. 

Hope you enjoy these delicious muffins! Blessings!

Fig Spice Balls

November 18, 2017 0 Comments
Energy balls rock in my family's world. They are sweet, delicious, and hit the spot. Dried figs I have to admit look a little unsightly. Once you get past that, they are pure delicious! Did you know that figs are rich in vitamins and minerals. Vitamins A, B1 and B2, manganese, potassium, magnesium, copper, iron, and phosphorus all can be found in figs. This recipe is super easy too.  

Ingredients:

15 dried organic figs 
1/2 cup dried organic unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 tsp. organic cinnamon
1/4 tsp. organic ginger
1/8 tsp. organic nutmeg

Blend figs in the food processor till they resemble dough like texture. 

Add 1/4 cup of  dried unsweetened coconut, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg process until all ingredients mix to make a nice dough that can be rolled into balls. 

Roll dough into 1 inch balls.

Place 1/4 cup of shredded coconut onto a plate and roll balls to cover. 

Eat and enjoy!

I refrigerate balls up to one week and they make a delicious sweet healthy treat! If you try out the recipe, let  me know how you like it.

Wrap it Up Tortillas

November 14, 2017 0 Comments
This tortilla recipe has been a staple for lunches on the go.  With my youngest having allergies to 
yeast this is my go to for lunch. I usually top it with chicken, rice, lettuce, or his favorite is nut butter
and banana.  The wraps come out super soft and delicious. I store them in the fridge to keep them 
fresh. After being refrigerated just pop them in the microwave for 30 to 40 seconds to soften them
up to make them more flexible.

















Wrap It Up Tortillas (Makes 8)

2 cups organic all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp cream of tartar (I use Frontier Brand)
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup organic coconut milk
2 tbsp organic coconut oil

Instructions:

Add all ingredients to stand mixer (I use a KitchenAid Mixer). Process till it forms a dough ball. 
Add additional coconut milk as needed to process. You don't want the dough to be sticky. 
If you add too much milk you can add a little more flour to fix it.  The dough needs to be able
to be rolled out.  

Once you have your dough ball cut it in half and then from each half make four equal sized dough
balls.  Roll them out till they are flat.  I usually don't use more flour at this point unless I have to
keep them from sticking. Once rolled out place them on your cast iron skillet (this is my favorite)
or pan and cook until you see little brown spots. The longer you cook them the harder they
become so watch them closely. Once the pan is well heated it should take less than a minute
on each side.

Well, that "wraps it up". Go get stuffing them with something wonderful.  They make great soft
tacos as well. Enjoy!
