Re: Coconut flour and cream

[Guest guest]

Well it's been over 2 years on SCD and I finally bought my first coconut flour and coconut cream from Tropical Traditions. I have no clue what to do with it. I know there have been recipes posted here and I know Elana has a bunch, but does anyone have a favorite they'd like to share with me?Elana's blueberry coconut muffins are really good. I make them in a cake form, not muffins though.Also, for breading chicken breasts, I use a combo of 1/3 coconut flour, 1/3 almond flour or meal and 1/3 sesame seeds and salt and pepper and other herbs (like oregano, parsley, chives, etc.) to taste. That's the best breading I've been able to come up with. First dip in beaten egg, then in breading, then fry in a nice quantity of olive oil. Misty's cherry clafouti recipe adaptation also. I double it:Cherry Clafouti- 6 generous servingsThe first time I made this I used 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, which was delightful. But I felt that almond extract goes even better with cherries, so that's what I did the next time. But you can use either. Traditionally this is made with unpitted cherries. But I decided it would be easier to eat if pitted. About 2 cup of cherries, pitted and cut in half (pit first, then measure)3 tablespoons coconut flour1/2 teaspoon sea salt1/2 teaspoon baking powder3 eggs1/2-3/4 teaspoon almond extract1/4 cup of honey1/4 extra virgin coconut oilPreheat the oven to 375 degrees1-Grease a nine inch pie pan. Place the pitted cherries in it and spread over the bottom of the pan.2-Mix together the coconut flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl.3-In a small bowl, mix together the eggs and vanilla extract (typo... supposed to be almonds. you MUST use almond LOL). Whisk briskly into the dry ingredients until there are no lumps left.4-Gently melt the honey and coconut oil together over the stovetop. (With it being summer, my oil is liquid so I can skip this step.) Make sure to remove it just when everything is melted. If it's too hot, you could curdle your eggs (let it cool if you let it get to hot). In a slow stream, add to the bowl of whisked ingredients, whisking while you add it.5-Pour the batter over the cherries and place in the oven. Cook for 25-30 minutes, until browned on top and a toothpick stuck in the middle of the dessert comes out clean. Cool for 10-20 minutes, and eat while hot (or cold is good too... very very good with a cup of coffee for breakfast!!!).

Correction please -- it's baking SODA, not baking powder!

Mara-

Love the chicken breading idea.

The clafouti looks great but I'm still trying to lose weight! You're killing me!

The blueberry muffins/cake will be good for portable work breakfasts and I can calculate the calories easily.

Thanks.

This is one of my favshttp://www.elanaspa ntry.com/ jelly-donut- cupcakes/Of course leave out the arrowroot, xilytol and use home made jam, also sub agave with honeyHope you' ll like itYanaSent from my iPhone

This is a great website for baked items. I just made the coconut cupcakes and they came out tasting like a regular old cupcake. I have not made the frosting yet as I have to figure out what happens to SCD yogurt when whipped, does anyone have experience with this? The convertion of agave nectar to honey is 1:1. I think I'm going to be baking today!
