Going Coconuts Again!!

I found two great Coconut Flour recipes this weekend- Coconut Almond Cookies and Coconut Carrot Muffins! Yummy! Well this is my second attempt with the cookies, they tend to come out a bit dry so I've altered the recipe a bit and added a bit of almond milk and dark chocolate bits. The muffins on the other hand are so freakin GOOD! I found this original recipe on Elana's Pantry, a gluten free blog, she has a ton of great recipes, I did alter the recipe a teeny bit, I didn't have butter, the syrup or currants but mine turned out just great! Any one know any good egg substitutes? Here are the recipes:

Gluten Free Carrot Mini Muffins
¼ cup coconut flour
¼ teaspoon celtic sea salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
5 stevia packets
1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
3 eggs
¼ cup coconut oil
¼ almond milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup carrots, grated
¼ cup raisons

In a medium bowl, combine coconut flour, salt, baking soda,
stevia and cinnamon
In a large bowl, blend together eggs, oil, almond milk and vanilla
Blend dry ingredients into wet, then fold in carrots and raisons
Grease a mini muffin tin with oil and then dust with coconut flour
Spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of batter into each greased mini muffin cup
Bake at 350° for 18 minutes. Makes about 2 dozen mini muffins
Cool and serve


Coconut Almond Cookies
½ sifted coconut flour
½ cup chopped almonds, lightly toasted
5 stevia packets
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup coconut oil
¼ cup almond milk
4 eggs
¾ teaspoon almond extract
1½ cups grated or flaked coconut
2 tablespoons dark chocolate bits

Preheat oven to 175C (350F). Put almonds in an oven safe pan and bake for about 8 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool. Mix together coconut oil, stevia, salt, eggs, almond milk and almond extract. Stir in flour, coconut, chocolate and toasted almonds. Let batter rest for 4 to 5 minutes to allow it to thicken slightly. Drop batter in spoon-size mounds 1 inch apart on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 190 Degree C (375F) for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool slightly and remove from cookie sheet. Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
