Coat a baking sheet with coconut oil cooking spray and bake nuts in a single layer for 10 minutes; remove to cool slightly.

Form into small cookies on a parchment paper lined pan and bake in oven for about 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Enjoy! My sister-in-law loves all things lemon. Lemon cookies, lemon cake, lemon tarts. When I saw this recipe I knew she would be the one I'd make these for. I havn't yet made them for her, but I am excited to try them out at the next family get together. Perfect as a Spring or Easter treat, these melt-in-your mouth raw coconut lemon balls are sure to satisfy!
Dry Ingredients: 1 & 1/2 cups almond flour 1 & 1/2 cups dried shredded unsweetened coconut 1/3 c coconut flour 2 big pinches of Sea Salt Wet Ingredients: 6 Tbsp Agave or All Natural Maple Syrup or Raw Organic Honey (omit for sugar-free & vegan) 4 Tbsp Lemon Juice 2 tsp Organic Vanilla 1 Tbsp Lemon zest (Tip: Zest your Lemon before you juice it) Directions: Mix all of your dry ingredients together - set aside and mix wet ingredients in a small mixing bowl. With your mixer on, slowly pour wet mixture into dry mixture. While your mixer is on, mix in your melted coconut oil as a thickener. Your batter will thicken fairly quickly as it mixes with the oil and the oil cools down. The next step is up to you. You can choose to heat/bake to set the cookies or to keep them raw you may chill them to have them set. Heating: Warm them in oven at the lowest heat setting, leaving the oven door cracked open. Warm for an hour. It should be dry on the outside and moist on the inside, place cookies in the fridge after they've cooled, let them chill and set, eat and enjoy! Cooling: If you opt not to heat your treats, chill in the fridge for an hour. The overall texture will be soft and moist. Enjoy! 1 part baking soda

Store the rest (if there is any left!) in the fridge. I hope you enjoy! Ingredients 1/2 cup coconut flour 4 eggs, at room temperature 1/4 cup softened EB butter butter or coconut oil 6 Tbs. canned pumpkin 2 Tbs. raw honey (I used half to cut my sugar, but the flavors better with all) 1 tsp. cinnamon (I use a lot more, I love my recipes super-cinnamony!) 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar 1/4 tsp. baking soda Instructions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line 10 muffin cups with liners. Stir together the coconut flour and eggs until a smooth paste forms. Stir in the butter or oil, then the canned pumpkin and honey. Then mix in the cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and baking soda. Pour into muffin cups. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, until golden and the top springs back when lightly pressed. So through my journey with new flours and not being able to use yeast, or regular baking powder, or "normal" flours I had yet to make a muffin that would rise and be fluffy and glorious. That was, until last night. My husband had bought a pack of muffins at Sprouts for himself to munch on while we watched the latest "Once Upon A Time" (Disney. Drama. Swoon.) And while they are "whole grain, organic ingredients etc." they are not Paleo. Huge No-No for me, so, I set out last night determined to create a muffin that would taste delicious even if it did implode upon baking.
They use almond flour, and though normally almond flour produced dense baked goods, these are light, moist, fluffy and amazing. So, without further adieu I bring you the recipe of the most beautiful, fluffy, scrumptious muffins to come from almond flour. Yield: 9 muffins (I never get my muffins to stretch to 12) Ingredients: 2 eggs 1/3 cup honey (substitute another liquid sweetener for vegan) 4 tablespoons melted soy-free, dairy-free butter 1 teaspoon vanilla 3/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 2 1/2 cups almond flour 1 cup fresh blueberries Instructions: Preheat oven to 325°F. Place unbleached muffin cups in muffins pans. (i just used some organic olive oil cook spray) In a medium mixing bowl use either a whisk or electric mixer and combine the eggs, honey, butter, vanilla, baking soda, and sea salt. With a spatula fold in the almond flour and blueberries. Batter will be very firm so you’ll need to use a spoon to evenly divide the batter amongst the muffin cups. Place 2-3 blueberries on top and press down into the batter…just because it looks pretty! Bake for 20-25 minutes. Toothpick should come out clean and they should be a nice golden brown…cool a bit and enjoy! |

aboutNosh & 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.
