The Paleo Thread

Home of all who are dairy-, grain-, and legume-free.

Here's a fantabulous recipe to get us started:

The Best Paleo Brownies (Gluten-Free & Grain-Free)
Ingredients

1 cup almond butter

1/3 cup maple syrup

1 egg

2 tbsp ghee (I just use melted butter; you could use melted coconut oil if you're against that)

1 tsp vanilla

1/3 cup cocoa powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

Instructions
1    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond butter, syrup, egg, ghee, and vanilla. Stir in the cocoa powder and baking soda.
2    Pour the batter into a 9-inch baking pan. Bake for 20-23 minutes, until the brownie is done, but still soft in the middle.

Servings: 6 (very large!)

Soon I want to try coconut or almond flour bread.... can't wait

Does coconut flour taste like coconut? They have it for a good price at Sam's, but I've hesitated to buy it, because I hate the taste (and even the smell) of coconut. I buy coconut oil that's completely odor- and flavor-less, so that's worked out well. But the flour I'm scared of...

I haven't tried either type of flour yet. I think I will try both types of bread while on Easter break. I'll find some recipes I'd like to try and post them.
