Choc-Nut-Fudge Grain Free Cookies

I know my last recipe was chocolate based as well, however I believe you can never have enough chocolate recipes so here you go…

Earlier this week Rawspirations Chewy Choc Chip Fudge Cookies caught my eye on instagram. I didn’t have all the ingredients at the time so did a bit of swop and adapt and these Choc-Nut-Fudge Grain Free Cookies were the end result.

These grain free cookies are the BEST dipped in a cup of herbal tea or served with a fresh green glass of juice. Thanks Rawspirations for the inspo!!

This recipe is also another great little Christmas gift idea! Bake up a few batches and wrap 5-6 cookies in cellophane, tie with a pretty ribbon and attach a Christmas tag- too easy!

Choc-Nut-Fudge Grain Free Cookies Recipe:

2/3 cup almond meal

1 tbs peanut butter

1 cup raw cashews

6 medjool dates, pre soaked

1 tbs cocao powder

1 tbs maple syrup

2 pinches salt

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup chopped high quality dark chocolate of choice

Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees celcius.

In a high speed blender or food processor combine the pre soaked dates, peanut butter, maple syrup, cashews, vanilla and salt until smoothish.

Next add the almond meal and cocao powder on a low speed, wiping down the edges regularly.

Last of all fold through the chopped chocolate.

Roll the mixture into balls and place on a sheet of grease proof paper on a baking tray. With your thumb or the back of a spoon, push the middle of the balls down to create a biscuit shape.

Bake for 5-10 minutes, before allowing to cool and harden. The baking process is more to help set the biscuits than bake them.

Enjoy!

Blueberry & Cocao Pancakes – Grain Free

Really just because you can never have to many pancake recipes….

Best thing about these Blueberry & Cocao Pancakes are that they are a super filling, low carb, high protein, grain and refined sugar free healthy start to the day! No Guilt Pancakes!! How can you not love them??

I needed a bit of a protein hit yesterday morning and was about to throw together a quick protein smoothie before deciding on protein pancakes instead. The ingredients are very similar, however a completely different texture and taste to mix it up!

Unlike a lot of grain free pancake recipes, these are quite light and fluffy and stay together – hurray!!!

I used Quest vanilla protein powder for these Blueberry & Cocao Pancakes and adapted one of their recipes for inspiration. Thanks Quest 🙂

Blueberry & Cocao Pancakes Recipe:

Serves 1:

Pancakes

1 scoop of vanilla Quest protein powder or brand of choice

1/4 cup filtered water

1 egg

1/2 tsp baking powder

pinch of high quality mineral salt

1/2 cup frozen blueberries + extra for topping

1 tsp coconut oil for frying

Cocoao nibs for topping

Cocao Sauce

1 tbs vanilla protein powder

2 tbs cocao powder

2 tbs coconut milk

To make to pancakes just combine all the ingredients except the coconut oil and cocao nibs.

Then heat the coconut oil in a fry pan on a medium heat. Spoon to mixture into the fry pan creating two separate pancakes and allow to cook through for about 2-3 minutes or until lightly brown. Use a spatular to flip the pancakes and cook for a remaining 1-2 minutes while you whip together the sauce.

The Sauce: combine all the ingredients with a spoon until smooth.

Serve the pancakes on a plate, top with blueberries and cocao nibs and then drizzle with the Cocao sauce.

Now its ready to eat and enjoy. Too easy!!

Mini Sticky Date Protein Muffins

Initially this morning I had set out to make some quick protein bliss balls as I was all out of snacks! A bit to much of this and not enough of that and my bliss ball mixtures was resembling more a thick, decadent sauce, which actually would have been amazing over some Greek Yogurt… but I was after on-the-go snacks so with adding a bit more of this and a bit more of that and finding inspiration at the back of my kitchen cupboard (mini muffin tins) these super delicious snacks were created.

Now in sharing this recipe, I take no responsibility for the outcome of the finished product. They may turn out a #foodporn success and completely out stage mine or they may be the type of batch you have to recreate into a trifle they were such a disastrous creation due to my lack of recording any such ingredients or measurements. Use my estimated recipe as a guide and taste as you go and adjust as you think fit.

Best of luck and if they don’t work, recreate them into something even better!

Gluten free, grain free, dairy free, sugar free, low carb, high in protein.

Recipe:

2 scoops of a Natural Vanilla Protein Powder

1 cup pitted dates

1 cup almond meal

2 eggs

1/4 cup filted water

1/2 tsp baking powder

Icing:

1/2 cup pitted dates

1/2 cup nut butter (natural peanut or almond or mixed nuts)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 heaped tsp cocao (optional)

1-3 tbs water

Pre-heat the oven at 150 degrees celsius. Grease a mini muffin tin with coconut oil.

Blend or process the dates and 1/4 cup water together to create a paste. Add the protein powder, almond meal, baking powder and eggs and continue to combine thoroughly.

Spoon the thick yet pourable mixture into the muffin tin cups and place in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden on top.

Start making the Icing by combining all the ingredients into the blender or processor until smooth. Your water quantity will depend on how thick the mixture is. You are aiming for a firm spreadable consistency.

Once the muffins are out of the oven, run a knife around the side of each cup to loosen and allow to cool for 10 minutes.

Now the best bit. Slab on some icing and enjoy!!

Store in the fridge in a sealed container.

Goji berry chocolate brownies- grain, dairy & refined sugar free!

These are the type of brownies that everyone else in the house refuses to believe are healthy because they taste so indulgently naughty.

The type that you don’t dare to put in a see through container and are hidden very stratigiclly at the back of the fridge where no one will look.

These are brownies full of antioxidant goodness, essential fats, protein and will not cause a fluctuation in blood sugar levels.

The type of brownies that you just can’t resist but to have one with breakfast- yes guilty!

Recipe:

1 1/2 cups almond meal or hazelnut meal (I used half half)

1 cup cocao powder

1/2 tsp himalayan salt

1 1/4 tsp baking powder

200g or 1 cup melted coconut oil, ghee or organic butter (not dairy free)

1/3 cup raw honey

2 tsp vanilla

1/3 cup nut butter or organic sugar free chocolate spread

3 eggs

1/2 cup goji berries

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Line a slice baking tin with grease proof paper and grease the sides with a bit of coconut oil/butter.

Combine the nut meal, cocao powder, salt and baking powder. Mix through the remaining ingredients.

Pour the mixture into the tin and place in the oven.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the slice is set on top. It will remain very soft until it completely cools, particularly if you used coconut oil.

Once it has cooled, feel free to spread your organic, sugar free chocolate spread on top or make your own with cocao powder, coconut oil, vanilla extract and a natural sweetener of choice (coconut sugar, honey, maple syrup, nativia).

Cut into desired sizes and enjoy!

Store in a sealed container in the fridge.
