Ultimate Paleo Fall/Winter Treat: Enjoy the holidays without the sugar coma!

FALL IS HERE!

The season of pumpkin spice, baked goods galore, parties, and holidays! Also, the season for folks to go a little sugar crazy only to end the year swearing off sugar and making drastic New Year’s resolutions. I have a better idea! Swap out your traditional baked goods and sugar-laden treats for these whole food ingredient recipes and enjoy all the fun, baking, sharing, sweetness of the holidays without the sugar coma! Here is a round-up on recipes that have you covered from Halloween to X-mas!

VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE

The recipes here are all grain, dairy, gluten, and refined sugar-free. Here are some tips if you need to tweak any of them to fit your specific nutritional needs.

Flour Substitutions:
1 cup almond meal= 1/4 cup coconut flour (you will also need to use more eggs, about 3 eggs per every 1/4 cup)
1 cup cassava flour= 1 heaping cup almond meal
1 cup cassava flour = 1/3 cup coconut flour

Baking Powder Subsitutes: equal parts baking powder, cream of tartar and arrowroot starch or just use baking soda.

Egg Substitutions:

Flax Egg: mix 1 tbsp flaxmeal with 1 tbsp water and let it sit for 15 minutes to get slimy (use to replace up to 2 eggs)

Gelatin Egg: Mix 1 tbsp gelatin with one tbsp cold water then vigorously whisk in warm water to soften until the mix becomes sticky (use to replace up to 2 eggs)

Sweetener Options:
Maple syrup, honey and coconut sugar are all cup for cup.

Xylitol, Erythrirol, Monk Fruit and other artificial sweeteners are a little less sweet thant natural sugars so you will need to use 1-2 tbsp more.

Stevia is MUCH sweeter, using 10-20 drops is the equivalent of 1/4-1/2 a cup of another sweetener.
