Decadent Coconut Flour Brownies

grain free paleo coconut flour brownies

We are a chocolate loving family over here. We love our almond flour brownies, however, many people have asked for alternatives to almond flour. I finally developed an absolutely delicious, nutrient rich brownie that everyone can enjoy. I found that these do taste better after they have been chilled in the fridge. They taste great out of the oven, they have a fudgey texture once chilled. These brownies are gluten free, grain free, nut free, refined sugar free and have a dairy free option.

Decadent Coconut Flour Brownies

Approximately 16 servings

Hands on time 15 min.

Total time 45 min

  • 1/3 cup coconut flour
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 cup high quality chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup grass fed butter or coconut oil
  • 3/4 cup date syrup (10 dates plus 1/2 cup boiling water)
  • 4 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp Himalayan pink salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Line a 9×9 pan with parchment paper.
  3. Take 10 dates, remove the pits and place in a glass boil. Cover with 1/2 cup boiling water and let sit for 15 minutes. Then blend in blender or food processor until smooth. Voila, date syrup.
  4. In a medium sized bowl, place and mix all dry ingredients until mixed well and there are no clumps.
  5. Melt chocolate chips and butter either stove top or in the microwave. Add in date syrup and stir until combined well.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and vanilla. Stir in chocolate mixture thoroughly.
  7. Now combine the wet ingredients with dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
  8. Place in baking dish with parchment paper and bake for 30 minutes. Once done, place in fridge or freezer until cool before eating. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Why Dates:

Dates are natures candy. They have a wonderful caramelly flavor, amazingly sweet and the best part is they are so good for you. Full of fiber, they fill us up, help keep our glucose levels stable, and have cholesterol lowering properties. They are anti-infective, anti-inflammatory and anti-hemorrhagic. They are an excellent source of iron, very good source of potassium, calcium, manganese, copper and magnesium. Also a moderate source of vitamin A, B-complex group, and vitamin K. Dates, honey and maple syrup are my sweeteners of choice. Each have their own health benefits, however, dates have the most and are my favorite.

Enjoy!

Live Healthy and Whole,

Marian

Spring produce is coming into season and I'm so ex Spring produce is coming into season and I'm so excited!! I look forward to all the new in season produce every season change because I'm ready for a change up in the recipes we eat.

This beauty is radishes, blanched green beans, white vinegar, olive oil, salt and dried italian herbs.

So simple and so yummy.
Smoothies are one of the easiest ways to get your Smoothies are one of the easiest ways to get your powdered supplements in along with s ton of nutrients.

There is a right way and a wrong way to do smoothies.

Do not
✖️use only fruit
✖️protein powder and water or milk

Instead
✅combine fruit, greens, and a fat
✅add a protein powder (I prefer collagen peptides)
✅add water, coconut water, or milk of choice

One will leave you feeling hungry within the hour. The other will sustain you for hours. One has few nutrients, one has a lot of nutrients.

Stay sustained and get the most nutritional bang for your buck by revamping your smoothies.
Homemade Date Truffles are a delicious and healthy Homemade Date Truffles are a delicious and healthy snack that satisfy the sweet tooth. I actually don't make them often because I'll eat the entire batch in 2 days 🤭 They are so yummy though.

Dates have been around since around 5,000-6,000 BCE and are known as nature’s candy. Not only are they absolutely delicious, they are nutrient powerhouses. They contain protein, fatty acids and an array of vitamins and minerals. Including, but not limited to, Vitamin A, lutein, vitamin K, niacin, B6, folate, pantothenic acid (another B vitamin), choline (brain booster), calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, sodium, zinc and phosphorus.

On top of all this, they help protect against tooth decay even being so high in natural sugars. This is because they contain elemental flourine, not the man made flouride that is in added to water or what is in flourinated toothpaste.

Ingredients 👇
Dates
Crushed almonds
Crushed cashews
Honey 
Coconut oil 
Vanilla extract 
Sea salt
Chocolate chips 
Shredded coconut or cocoa powder

7 snacks 🤤

One of the most effective ways to transform your h One of the most effective ways to transform your health, make your medication more effective, and just plain feel better is to clean up your diet.

This is often easier said than done. Changes habits is hard. It requires energy and time, which often is in short supply. However, it isn't as hard as you think. Here are my 3 steps to get started. I don't recommend doing them all at once. Start with step 1, then move on. Slow and steady wins the race.
Healthy eating gets boring fast when you don't add Healthy eating gets boring fast when you don't add flavor. How do you get flavor in a healthy way? 
◾️Herbs
◾️spices
◾️sauces
You can make the exact same protein and veggies taste at least 12 different ways depending on what you put on top.

My top favorite sauce is Chimichurri. It's a blend of parsley, oregano, garlic, olive oil, salt, and red pepper flakes blended into deliciousness. I put it on top of my cooked proteins, on my veggies, and will even use as a salad dressing. It's sooooooo good.

You can get this recipe over on my website: https://www.roadtolivingwhole.com/traditional-chimichurri-sauce/ and enjoy this delicious sauce too!

Bitter foods stimulates the entire digestive syste Bitter foods stimulates the entire digestive system from our saliva being able to more effectively start the breakdown of carbohydrates, hydrochloric acid being pumped into our stomachs in appropriate amounts, and increases bile production.

The benefits of digestive bitters are pretty amazing and include:

◾️Higher absorption of nutrition from our foods
◾️Especially vitamins A, D, K, E and B12
◾️Reduce incidences of heartburn
◾️Increase fat digestion, which is particularly important for those who have had their gallbladders removed or are concerned about their gallbladder health
◾️Cleansing of the liver
◾️Reduction in gas, bloating, and constipation
◾️Balancing blood sugar levels
◾️Appetite regulation
◾️Promotes healthy skin

Pretty awesome right?! Deficiencies in fat soluble nutrients, gallbladder issues, sluggish liver, constipation run pretty rampant these days. It’s nice to know we have a solution that doesn’t cause other health issues.
