Recipe from Green For Clean Desserts by Annie Grapes
Are you ready to take your baking to the next level? Warm Coconut Cookies are a great way to start. They're delicious and healthier than store-bought cookies. Plus you get the added bonus of knowing you made these yourself! 
Most of my recipes have short simple ingredient lists. Warm Coconut Cookies are an exception to the rule with about 10 ingredients, but most of these you already have in your kitchen or are easy to find in the store. So let's get baking and leave the butter in the fridge cause these cookies are butter free! 

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 tbsp Ground or Whole Flax Seeds 
  • 3 tbsp Warm Water 
  • 1 cup Flour or Flour Substitute 
  • 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/4 tsp Salt 
  • 1/4 cup softened Coconut Oil 
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla 
  • 2 tbsp Milk or Milk Substitute
  • 1/4 cup Oatmeal 
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Shavings  

Preparation 

1. Preheat oven to 350 and get a baking sheet out 
2. Get all your ingredients measured out and set aside 

 Instructions 

1. In a LARGE bowl, add flax seed and warm water 
2. In a second bowl, add flour, salt and baking soda
3. Add coconut oil, brown sugar, and vanilla to LARGE bowl and mix until blended
4. Add the contents of the second bowl with the flour to the LARGE bowl and keep stirring. (If it gets too dry, add milk) 
5. Slowly mix in oats and coconut shavings
6. Place spoonfuls of this mixture on baking sheet 
7. Bake in oven about 8-10 minutes
8. Allow to cool then sprinkle with extra coconut shavings or chocolate if you're feeling naughty

The Best Cranberry Sauce You'll Ever Eat

12/13/2017

2 Comments

 
Have you ever eaten home made cranberry sauce? If so, you likely don’t have fond memories of it- between the bitter berries and the consistency of the mystery sauce, most Americans overwhelming choose canned cranberry sauce. 
Picture
Based on the Ocean Spray website, a 1/4 cup of their (jellied) cranberry sauce contains 24g of sugar. That’s literally all the sugar you should consume in a day, in one serving. But oddly enough, nowhere on their website did I find the ingredients in their cranberry sauce. 
Picture
That’s probably because their sauce only has 4 ingredients: cranberries, high fructose corn syrup, water, and corn syrup.
What this means to you is you’re not even eating 24g of “sugar” from it’s natural source; you’re getting it from the refined and concentrated HFCS. Yuck! Plus, I imagine whatever cranberries they used, long lost their nutritional value. 
But, I know what you’re thinking...
​
We’re talking about cranberry sauce Linda! Who cares about ‘nutritional value’?
Everything you eat has a nutritional value, not just the good stuff, so why eat high fructose corn syrup when you can try this AMAZINGLY good cranberry sauce that isn’t covered in hard bitter berries or watery mystery goo. 
It's so mouth watering and delicious that I bet you’ll never even go back to the canned goop again.

Ingredients 

  • 12-15 oz of fresh cranberries (half a bag)
  • 1 cup of dry red wine (the cheap stuff)
  • 1 cup of raw/organic sugar 
  • 1 cinnamon stick (not ground cinnamon)
  • 1 orange
  • 4 whole cloves

Prep 

  1. Get your slow cooker set up
  2. Organize all of your measured ingredients
  3. Grate some of the orange peel and set the “zest” aside
  4. Peel the orange and split in half ​

Instructions 

  1. Add cranberries, sugar, and wine in slow cooker.
  2. Push two cloves in each half of the orange, and lay each half on the left and right side of the slow cooker.
  3. Set the cinnamon stick in the middle of the slow cooker and add zest to the top.
  4. Cover and cook on high for 2 1/2 hours. 
Picture
​The mixture will look the same for the first 2 hours, then you should see the cranberries starting to split in two, or develop small cracks. When you see this, you know your sauce is done! 

   5. Turn off the slow cooker, remove the lid and fish out the cinnamon stick and orange halves.
    6. Stir. Leave the lid off and allow the sauce to thicken (it WILL thicken!) for about 30 minutes.

Picture

Choose to eat the sauce warm, or, place in fridge to eat later. It will thicken up in the fridge and taste wonderful cold.
​
This is the perfect recipe for the holidays, but also tastes divine as a dressing for cakes and muffins. After you make it, you’ll be wishing you had found it sooner!

Did you know that over half of the nutrients in a potato are found in the skin? Red potatoes are a great source of fiber and B vitamins, so don't peel them!
