oatmealless-raisin cookies, carrot cake, breakfast cereal

[Guest guest]

“breakfast cereal” – guaranteed never soggy in milk!

coarsely chop soaked/sprouted almonds (or any properly prepared nuts) in a

blender. i’ve found it’s easiest to do this a couple of handfuls at a time

to get a nice even “chopped-ness”. toss into a pyrex baking dish.

add in a good amount of coarsely shredded (unsweetened!) coconut. i

generally use equal parts almonds and coconut, but it’s entirely up to taste.

add in some raisins – or don’t, or add in a few raisins, or a lot –

depending on where you stand with carbs. if you’re happy with your weight,

go for the raisins! if you’re still losing pounds, put in as few as you can

while still enjoying the “cereal”.

add some cinnamon, vanilla, or other spices to taste.

stir in coconut oil or butter to lightly coat the whole kit-and-kaboodle.

if you end up with too much oil, you can just add more dry ingredients till

it suits you.

pop it in the oven at 350 for 10 or 15 minutes – check on it and stir.

it’ll probably need another 10 or 15 minutes after that. it’s done when

it’s toasted-brown, but not burnt. (or whenever you deem it done – it’s up

to your taste!)

you may want to store this in the fridge. eat it with kefir (which is very

low carb), cream, or whole-fat milk, and with fresh fruit if you like!

gluten-free oatmealless raisin cookies

1.5 cups almonds

1 cup shredded coconut

lots of raisins

applesauce (a few spoonfuls. mostly as a

binder)

a splash of vanilla

1 cup butter or coconut oil, softened

2 eggs

chop the almonds coarsely (a blender works best. a coffee grinder or a

large knife will also work!)

mix all ingredients well. adjust as desired. (cinnamon is a tasty addition!)

spoon onto glass baking dish and bake at 350 for a cookie-time (10 minutes

is a good guideline. depending on your oven, you might need a little more

time than that.)

remove from oven and enjoy!

carrot cake:

1.5c ground almonds

1.5c shredded carrots

a bit of honey if you need it (i don't use it)

1/2c applesauce

a lot of raisins

a bit of pineapple

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2c butter or coconut oil (more is fine)

2 eggs

1 teaspoon cinnamon

vanilla

mix it all up, add in shredded coconut too if you like (but then make sure

to add more wet, or reduce the almonds)

bake at 350 in a greased dish for 45-60 minutes - when the toothpick is clean.

so tasty! we like it with no frosting, though you could use the NT frosting

recipe if you really need it.
