Paleo Crepe & Tortilla Recipe!



This was an AMAZING recipe for anyone who wants to try the Paleo diet!!

If you have ever tried Paleo pancakes before, they are a little dense and chewy, but THESE are light and crispy and delicious!!!

I ALSO use this recipe (as it is very plain) to make tortillas!


I was amazed that they held together so well, and were so easy to make!!!

The Best Part about these is that they are low carb, and low calorie!

Per crepe/tortilla:
74 Calories 
 2 carbs
5 fats
4 proteins



Directions:
1. Whisk Together 6 eggs, 1 Cup almond milk & 2  tsps melted coconut oil!
2. Sift in 3 tbs. coconut flour and whisk! 
3. Let sit for 10 minutes, then whisk again!
4. Heat a medium/large pan and grease with coconut oil or butter

THIS is the fun part!
1. Pour about a 1/4 - 1/3 cup of mixture into the pan, and quickly spread the mixture around the pan evenly!
2. Flip with the edges start turning up - I flip mine with my hands!

THEN ENJOY!






I have found several different ways to enjoy these! 

The best part is, so far they have stored great!

Sunday evening I made about 5 medium sized crepes/tortillas (halved the recipe)

and I have been able to store them in a Ziplock and keep reusing them!!

Enjoy!

Recipe: Paleo Chocolate Cookies!!!



I Love the Paleo Life Style, but ALLOT of times I MISS baked goods!!

My boyfriend and I came up with this recipe (modified it from another recipe) and were SO excited to try it!

    Ingredients:

Pure Vanilla Extract

1/2 tsp

Coconut Oil, Organic

1/2 cup

Eggs, Pastured

4 whole

Coconut Flour

1 cup, sifted
 Semisweet Chocolate Chips

3/4 cup

Salt

1/4 tsp

 Raw Honey

1/2 cup

 Cocoa Powder, Organic

1/4 cup, unsweetened

Sliced Almonds

       1/2 cup, chopped



At first I was like... HEY, there is no baking soda or powder in this recipe??!!! How will this ever work!!!

But it turns out, we didn't need it ;)



Directions:
Preheat oven to 325.
  1. Melt coconut oil and honey on low head in a saucepan.
  2. In a medium size mixing bowl blend eggs, vanilla extract, salt, honey, and coconut oil with an electric hand mixer.
  3. Add in unsweetened cocoa powder, and blend again.
  4. Sift in the coconut flour, and continue to blend with the hand mixer until all the ingredients are mixed.
  5. Pour in chocolate chunks, and almonds and stir with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  6. On a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, scoop out dough into small balls ( 1-2 tablespoons is about right).
  7. Using a cup, flatten each cookie into a "cookie shape" **This is important, cookies do NOT flatten while baking!
  8. Bake at 325 for about 15 minutes, or until the cookies start to brown a bit on the top



They turned out Soft & Chewy and INCREDIBLY Delicious!!!

We didn't have dark chocolate chips but we DID have an 88% dark chocolate bar, which we chopped into huge chocolate chunks..

YUM!

Enjoy!
