apple dessert nachos

5/15/2013

INGREDIENTS:
3 crispy and slightly tart apples
1 tsp lemon juice
3 tbsp creamy natural sunflower butter
1/4 cup sliced almonds (omit for nut-free)
1/4 cup flaked unsweetened coconut
1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips or cacao nibs for paleo

INSTRUCTIONS:

For these, I sliced up some apples thin enough so it would be easy to eat the slice in one or two bites. I also lightly spritzed the apples with lemon juice to keep them from browning too fast.

Then I melted some Sunbutter–until it was super runny–and drizzled it all over the apples. Next, I topped the apples and Sunbutter with unsweetened flaked coconut, sliced almonds and, of course, chocolate chips. And finally, I drizzled a little more Sunbutter onto the plate.

coconut flour bread

Yeild: 1 loaf
Prep: about 5 minutes min
Cook: 40 minutes (baking) mins
Ready In: 40 mins

Composed of just six simple ingredients, this grain-free bread is dense and satisfying. Though the bread is made from coconut flour, its flavor is only slightly reminiscent of coconut. While you could use this coconut flour bread to prepare sandwiches, I think it's much better suited as a dessert bread or french toast base.

Ingredients

3/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup butter (I use Earth Balance soy-free, dairy free)
6 eggs
up to 2 tbsp honey (I used 1)
1/2 tsp unrefined sea salt
(Mandi’s note) I also used a TSP of homemade baking powder that corn free. Find my recipe here.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine coconut flour, butter, baking powder, eggs, honey and 1/2 teaspoon unrefined sea salt together.
Mix all the ingredients together until they form a smooth paste with no clumps.
Grease & lightly flour a loaf pan.
Spoon the mixture into the loaf pan, and bake in an oven preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 40 minutes.

Nosh & Nurture was born of this journey I am on to better the health of myself, my family and those around me. What started as a simple compilation of recipes has grown to a all-around lifestyle journal with ways to incorporate organic products into your home, pantry and beauty cabinet. I also include stories on pregnancy, new motherhood, travel, Proverbs 31 marriage, and spiritual health, as I am a Christian who couldn't do any of this without my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.
