Gluten, sugar, dairy free Biscuit Sponge base slices with Coconut Manna

  Have you just recently discovered Stevia sweetener, you are unsure how you will be able to make great tasting cakes that are sugar free and turn out to be edible? I can help, the main thing that you need to understand is that the volume of Sugar in any recipe you want to make needs to be replaced with something else, otherwise you will end up with a dry, solid lump. This sponge base is a great base recipe to start many baking adventures from. Make sugar free gateaux or muffins, cupcakes or sheet cakes the sky is the limit. You can decorate it with Coconut mana like I have done in the image above or try my lactose and sugar free "Butter-free Buttercream" made with Coconut oil and natural stevia-sweet extract, good for the gut and the soul. Not too heavy or sweet. Add fruit or nuts and seeds as topping. Fill it with fresh strawberries and whipped cream or just have it as it is, this recipe...

Christmas – Sour Cream Cookie cutter Cookies with Stevia (Sugar + Gluten free)

Paleo Christmas Cookies with super food toppings, YES you can have christmas treats without the sugar crash after indulging. By sweetening your cookie dough with natural stevia-sweet sweetener, you save calories and make the treat more blood sugar friendly.  Now, you probably think: how am I going to make the biscuits look nice without using icing sugar or other artificial biscuit decorations? I was panicking about that too, especially since I had booked the christmas cookie making Sunday with a friend weeks and weeks back before I had stopped eating gluten and the occasional refined sugar. I have been on a Paleo way of eating for a few weeks now, and I am feeling so good I did not want to wreck all the good work the healthy food has already done for my wellbeing. I put myself under even more pressure by inviting some more girls to join us for the fun. None of my friends had every tried stevia before, so all I could do is hope for an...

Paleo friendly Almond Macaroons with Stevia

Paleo friendly Almond Macaroons with Stevia

by Marie MannNo Comments
  Snowball like christmassy almond macaroons with lots of protein and good nut fat. This easy and quick recipe for macaroons is the only baking I have done since my last post and eating an all paleo style diet. A lot has changed in my approach to food and you will see this reflected in my christmas cookie and cake recipes I am going to post over the next few weeks. Because I didn't use any wafers under the macaroons, they are also gluten free - which I have found works better with my digestion. Makes 38pcs (no wafers needed) Prep time: 10min Baking time: 10 min at 180 degree Celsius  Cooling time: 15 min    You need: 175g/ 5 Large Egg whites 100g Almond flour/ ground almonds couple of drops vanilla extract pinch of salt 1-2 knife-tips Stevia-sweet 90% powder dissolved in 1 table spoons hot water 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...
