Paleo Blondies

 Here I am, back from my blogging hiatus! 

I have never stopped trying new recipes. I try something new on a weekly basis! However, so many of my favorites are from actual cookbooks, and since they're not on a blog I can't share them on the web. 

BUT, I still do have lots to share with you!


So let's start with one of my favorite desserts! Paleo Blondies I found thanks to Pinterest.


Ingredients:

  • 2 cups Almond Flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup almond butter
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 Tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2-4 Tbsp almond milk
  • 1/2 cup chocolate (chips, chunks, you choose)
For the Filling:
  • 1/4 cup Barney Butter Cocoa Coconut Almond Butter 
    OR regular Almond Butter (I've only used regular Almond Butter)
  • 1 Tbsp cocoa Powder
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 Tbsp honey or maple syrup    


Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan, set aside (I always use an 8x8 square pan).

Make the Blondie Batter:
1. Combine almond flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a small bowl. Set aside.

2. Melt coconut oil & almond butter together in a microwave safe bowl or on the stovetop. 

3. Add coconut sugar, honey, vanilla, and 2 Tbsp almond milk and stir well.

4. Add dry ingredients to wet. Mix until combined.

5. If the batter is dry and does not resemble cookie dough, add up to 2 more Tbsp of almond milk.

6. Add chocolate chips (this dough should look like cookie dough. It should not be crumbly or runny).


Make the Filling:
1. Melt together the almond butter, honey, and coconut oil.

2. Mix in cocoa powder until well combined. 


Putting it together:
1. Spread 1/2 of the batter evenly into the bottom of your prepared pan.

2. Spread the filling over the batter.

3. Top with remaining cookie batter and spread evenly.

4. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until slightly golden brown on top.

Marinated Chicken Thighs

         This is one of my favorite, easiest meals! It's great for company, too. Each time I've made it someone has commented on it. It's even Whole30 friendly, and can be either baked in the oven or grilled. I love this with roasted sweet potatoes-Yum yum! Whole30 Marinated Chicken Thighs from Just Jessie B.

Crispy Paleo Pizza Crust

It's been over a year since I've posted a new recipe! I'd say it's about time. But you know how you have seasons of your life when you just make your tried and true recipes over and over again, and other seasons when it's so much fun to try something new? Well, pregnancy for me has definitely brought cooking down a notch, that's for sure. We've had a lot of comfort food around here lately, and things I know are good and wouldn't make me nauseous. Anyway- that to say, I only have 3 weeks until my due date for #3. I have a few recipes to share with you that we love before baby girl makes her arrival, but I can't promise a consistent update of new recipes.  So- back to our recipe for today. Homemade Pizza! This Crispy Paleo Pizza Crust is the best I've ever made, and it gets the crispiest, as long as you roll it out thin. But even if it's thick, we still love it. So make it how you love it! We had a Friday night pizza night where
