Healthy paleo waffles-light and crispy

Healthy paleo waffles-light and crispy

by Marie MannNo Comments
  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...

Bulletproof coffee energy bar

Bulletproof coffee energy bar

by Marie MannNo Comments
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...

Bulletproof Coffee Jelly Dessert

Bulletproof Coffee Jelly Dessert

by Marie MannNo Comments
I recently found myself having Bulletproof coffee breakfast left over in the morning, I usually make a 1 liter portion. Since I love jellies and custardy type desserts I though rather than throwing it out I'll make a jelly with it. The red coloured tin of Great Lakes unflavoured gelatin will congeal because it has not been hydrolyzed. I use Great Lakes Gelatin because has a unique combination of amino acids in concentrated levels that promotes rapid re-production of blood cells for healing, it is especially great for bone and joint health care. The low molecular weight protein is easily digested which means the body can use it in minutes after ingestion. The gelatin collagen is important for the body's nitrogen balance, further collagen is now considered an anti ageing product as it supports age related cartilage damage and collagen loss. Did you know that the body's natural ability to repair supporting connective tissue (bone, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, skin, hair and nails) begins to diminish after the...

Did you notice that along all the foot path around the country the bramble bushes a loaded with blackberries? Most of us do not realise that there is still free food growing wild  in off the beaten path. I love collecting blackberries carrying them home thinking how much money I saved by having fun searching for the best berries along my sunday walk. At this time of year i like making cakes that have seasonal fruit in them, today it is berries. You will notice that the last and the next recipe are very similar because the base of the recipe works for all kind of fruits.   Here you see the mini soufflé pots filled with the batter mass before I added the sugar free crumbles.

Quick apple cinnamon pecan muffins – paleo treat

by Marie MannNo Comments
  This recipe has been my go to for several month now, every time I am traveling or I am am out and about needing a packable snack I make these. They keep well in the fridge, several days. They don't cause cravings and are just incredibly moist and delicious. My husband keeps asking for these, when I made them I have to hide the ones I want for another time.   This recipe is great for people new to using stevia, the cinnamon helps disguise the slight stevia taste that is so often criticised by people expecting a total equivalent to sugar. You can't really get these wrong, unless of cause you burn the lot.   Makes: 12pcs  in a silicon moulde Prep time: 10 min Cooking: 20-25min at 180 degree celsius pre heated oven (middle shelf)   You need: 5 eggs  Medium ( egg white beaten stiff separately) 36g Almond flour / ground almonds - mixed ground nuts work too. 26g Coconut flour 60g Coconut oil or Butter melted 1-2 teespoon of Cinnamon juice of 1-2 lemons 1/2 tessp. of baking...
