New dairy free pancakes suitable for Paleo’s sweetened with Stevia

New dairy free pancakes suitable for Paleo’s sweetened with Stevia

by Marie Mann3 Comments
  My alternative sweet breakfast or on the go lunch for everyone following a lower carb diet that can not face a savory paleo breakfast. This recipe is an evolution from my previous pancakes, it has no dairy at all. These are very low carb, 6g Carbs with whole recipe, 1.2g per pancake. The pancakes are also very high in selenium which is great "because selenium can protect against the adverse effects of mercury toxicity"  as Chris Kresser discusses in depth in a recent podcast, it is also very important for healthy skin and gut health as disused in this post. I usually actually do not have breakfast any more, I do the Bulletproof Butter Coffee with MCT oil and fast until 2pm to support my ketogenic diet approach. After not having had pancakes for many weeks I had to revert back to them when I had a tummy bug and I kind of couldn't face veg or meat. I made these in the hope that they would not...

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

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

by Marie MannNo Comments
  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...

Cheese Cake Souffle – sugar and gluten free with the help of Stevia-sweet

Cheese Cake Souffle – sugar and gluten free with the help of Stevia-sweet

by Marie MannNo Comments
  This recipe is great and adaptable  for a super quick healthy treat for 2 any time of the day. I use 2 small ramekins, the good thing is when you only make enough for one sitting there is no chance of accidentally having too much. Although, when you make sweet treats sweetened with natural  stevia sweetener there will not be any longing for more after the first portion as your blood sugar levels will not rise and fall in crazy ways. I have another nice soufflé recipe which does not even require any milk product. - I'll post it next.   Makes: 2 mini ramekins (you can also use tea cups) Prep time: 5 min Cooking: 25-27 min at 180 degree celsius   You need: 2 Eggs (separated) 150g Quark ( you can use fromage fraise, or thick yoghurt too.) 15g Coconut Flour skin of 1/2 unwaxed organic Lemon 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...

100 percent Chocolate Coconut Manna Confect with Coconut Shavings

by Marie MannNo Comments
        A little experimentation making confect with my favourite ingredients: 100% Chocolate, Coconut, Coconut Manna and of cause Stevia-sweet extract. I'll keep this post short and sweet as the making of these treats is very simple, all that is required is a little patience during setting time.

Lime coconut manna and white chocolate truffles -sugar free

Lime coconut manna and white chocolate truffles -sugar free

by Marie MannNo Comments
Zesty, refreshing lactose free lime coconut manna truffles with cocoa butter. Nice recipe I mixed up with all ingredients I like  a lot, especially the coconut manna/ butter is so delicious I wanted to use it in combination instead of just spooning it out of the glass. The Lime coconut truffles are suitable for Paleo and Vegetarian as well as people with Lactose intolerance - really a great sweet for everyone. The recipe is very simple too, so kid’s can help; they will love getting their fingers sticky when forming the little zesty truffle balls. I like to use re-usable silicon cases to avoid wasting paper or packaging. We are also ticking the blood sugar friendliness box too with the help of the all natural stevia-sweet extract powder or liquid. Make it with Coconut oil, fresh egg yolks and sweeten it up with all natural stevia-sweet extract. I think next time I will use fresh orange juice to make these, its bound to work well.   Makes:  10 little balls Prep time: 10 min Forming the balls:  10-15min   You need: 50g coconut...
