Makes: about 42 cookies
Prep time: 20 min, plus 1-2hours for dough to harden in the fridge
Cooking: 16min
Cooling time: 60min
Ingredients:
150g Almond flour
100g Chestnut flour ( you can use Almond flour instead, change the 40g Almond flour for coconut flour)
100g Pecan nuts ground
1 tsp Cinnamon
10g unsweetened Cocoa powder
pinch of Salt
70g Stevia-sweet Baking Granules 1:1
200g grass fed Butter - room temperature
1 medium egg
1-2 knife-tips Stevia-sweet 90% powder dissolved in 1 table spoons hot water
Whole pecan nuts for decorating
Note: getting the sweetness to the desired level is a matter of trial and error, the best thing is to start with a smaller amount of whatever Stevia you have on hand, it can be ready-use, liquid or tabs (need to be dissolved too), adding more is easier than diluting – you could end up with a huge amount of treat -Don’t have any Stevia yet? – you can always use normal sweetener products until you are set up.
Instructions:
pre-heat oven to 180 degree celsius
mix all dry ingredients together in a large bowl

Originally this was meant to be a pumpkin bread, when I tried to get pumpkin I could find any - maybe pumpkins didn't do well this year and there is a shortage?
Since butternut squash is similar I just used that instead. I wanted to have the cosy autumn feeling that fresh raisin bread with butter and jam gave me and my family when I was little. Around this time if year/ November yeast breads with raisins are available in every german bakery in various forms. I just made the recipe below up, it is not with yeast but it has the raisins and spices that make me feel warm.
Makes: one small tin loaf
Prep time: 20 min (once raisins and butternut squash are ready)
Cooking: 55min
Cooling time: 60min
Ingredients:
50g raisins soaked in water (and 18g amaretto- not essential), best soak for 24hours (if you like lots use more)
375g cooked butternut squash (flesh only- remove seeds and skin)
84g coconut oil melted
6 medium eggs (separately whisk egg whites)
178g Chestnut...
Waffles are probably my favourite Sunday baking treat from when I was a child especially in autumn. We didn't make them very often but every now and then we'd get the idea to makes some and the beautiful thing with waffles is the ingredients are basic so you can just make them on a whim if you bake on a regular basis.
When I recently longed for a treat and thought of waffles, I checked my blog for a recipe and was surprised to see that I did not have a tried and tested one to go to. I then tried various gluten and sugar free recipes but most of them were kind of heavy and made you fill stuffed after just on heart. I then developed my own recipe and this one comes out light, little bit crispy, they waffles stay together very well and they are filling enough but not to the point where you can't enjoy a whole...
Have you noticed before how expensive a little squished together bar of fruit and nuts can be? Most energy bars cost around £1 and more which is kind of crazy when you can make them at home, have some productive feeling and save money at the same time.
Energy bars are not normally my go to snack since they are usually made with large amounts of dried fruit and lots of nuts, but some times they are a handy emergency snack, especially when you know whats in them.
I recently did the elimination diet and needed a treat that was free of a lot of things - I replicated the Pecan nut bar from Nakd which is made with Made with Dates (52%), Pecans (28%), Almonds (20%). it worked a treat and kept me sane on my camping trip.
Because I quite like the Bulletproof coffee regime I was looking at what else I could do with the decaf beans I still had. I have been...
Another great option for having cake whilst on an elimination diet. I love how the butternut squash give the lovely orange colour, moisture and volume to the cake. The cinnamon with the cardamom give the muffins a aromatic spicy note without being over powering.
These free from -Butternut squash cinnamon cardamom muffins are great for breakfast, on the go or as a snack treat after the gym.
