9. Sweet Potato Breakfast Skillet with Bacon

Ingredients

• 12 ounces of bacon; cut into 1-inch pieces
• Additional bacon fat, lard, ghee, or coconut oil
• 5 cups diced sweet potatoes (about a 1/2 inch dice)
• 4 cups diced zucchini
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 6 large eggs
• Black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. In a 12-inch cast iron skillet, cook the bacon pieces over medium-low heat until crisp (cooking the bacon at a lower temperature will render more fat).
2. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked bacon from the pan. Set aside. There should be enough rendered bacon fat to coat the entire bottom of the skillet, about 1/8 inch deep. If your bacon didn't render this much fat (it can vary from brand to brand), add additional bacon fat, lard, ghee, or coconut oil to your skillet until there is 1/8 inch of fat.
3. Preheat oven to 400ºF.
4. Increase heat to medium-high and carefully place the diced sweet potatoes in the hot oil. Cook the sweet potatoes without stirring until the bottom of the cubes start to turn golden brown (this can take several minutes). Stir and cook until the cubes just start to soften.
5. Increase heat to high and add the zucchini, onion, and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are just starting to soften.
6. Stir in bacon pieces. Remove from heat.
7. Make 6 wells in the potato and veggie mixture; break one egg into each well.
8. Place skillet in the oven and bake for 9-14 minutes, or until the eggs are set. Serve immediately.

11. Banana Bread French Toast

Ingredients
For the bread:

• 3 medium bananas (you want them brown and spotty)
• 1.5 cups roasted unsalted cashews
• 1 cup almond meal/flour
• 2 tablespoons walnut oil
• 2 eggs, whisked
• 1 tablespoon raw honey
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• pinch of salt

For the french toast:

• 2 eggs
• ⅓ cup canned coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
• 1-2 tablespoons coconut oil

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375ºF.
2. Pull out your handy dandy food processor. It will make life soooo much easier. Add your cashews to the food processor to grind down.
3. Once your get a fine cashew meal, add your walnut oil while your food processor is still on until you get a cashew butter.
4. Then peel your bananas, roughly break them up, and add to your food processor with your cashews. Turn your food processor on and let combine for a minute or so until you have a soupy paste.
5. Now in a large bowl, whisk your eggs, then add your cashew/banana mixture along with almond meal/flour, baking soda and powder, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Mix to combine until you get a batter.
6. Grease a bread pan with some coconut oil. I used a loaf pan that was 9.3x5.2 inches (weird numbers) and it worked well. You could use smaller for taller loaf of bread, just may cook differently.
7. Pour batter into your greased loaf pan. Place in oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until bread is cooked through and the top of your loaf has a bit of a "crisp" to it.
8. Let bread cool for about 10 minutes.
9. When banana bread is cooled, whisk together your french toast ingredients (minus the coconut oil) in a shallow bowl.
10. Heat up a skillet or griddle and add your coconut oil to it.
11. Cut your bread into ½-1 inch slices, dip them in your egg mixture on both sides, then place on griddle to cook for 2-3 minutes per side.
12. Top french toast off with slice bananas, maple syrup or honey, and a touch of cinnamon.

12. Butternut Squash or Pumpkin Porridge

Ingredients

• 1 medium-sized butternut squash or pumpkin
• 1 can full-fat chilled coconut milk, home-made or your choice of milk

Toppings:

• Sliced strawberries or other assorted fruit
• Shredded coconut, toasted
• Enjoy Life chocolate chips
• Cinnamon
• Honey (often not needed with sweeter squashes)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
2. Cut the squash in half. Place the squash halves cut-side down on a greased, rimmed cookie sheet. No water is needed. Bake for about 1 hour or until tender, cooked through and caramelly smelling. Baking times may be longer for large squashes.
3. Allow the squash to sit until it is still warm but cool enough to touch without burning yourself. Scoop out the seeds then scoop out the squash, transferring it to individual serving bowls and mashing it slightly. We like the flavor and texture best when it is not pureed or too mashed up.
4. Pour the milk over each bowl of squash, allowing it to pool at the sides of the bowl. Add desired toppings and a drizzle of honey.
5. Serve. We enjoy this best when we don't stir everything together. The coconut milk lends a bright and refreshing taste to the squash when it is NOT stirred and absorbed into it. If the squash is not very sweet, add the honey or sweetener first to taste and stir it in before adding the milk and toppings.

16. Liver Pâté

Ingredients

• 1 lb Liver
• 1 Small Yellow Onion, finely chopped
• 2 Cloves Fresh Garlic
• 6-7 Fresh Sage Leaves (or 1 Tbsp dried Rubbed Sage)
• 1 Small Sprig Fresh Rosemary (2 tsp Dried Rosemary)
• 1 Bay Leaf
• 1/3 cup Dry Sherry or Cognac (I used cognac)
• ¼ tsp Salt, to taste
• 1/8 tsp Ground Mace
• 3-4 Sprigs Fresh Thyme (3/4 tsp Dried Thyme)
• ½ cup Good Cooking Fat (I use half tallow and half extra virgin coconut oil; you could also use bacon fat (which is divine, but then omit the salt), lard, palm shortening or unsalted butter)

Instructions

1. Slice liver into 2" chunks (you don't need to do this if you are using chicken liver) and remove any vessels the butcher might have missed.
2. Line a 7.5″x3.5″ Loaf Pan with parchment paper (this is an optional step that just makes removing the loaf easier later; you could also use a glass or pottery serving dish).
3. Heat ¼ cup of your chosen cooking fat in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Add onion, bay leaf, rosemary, thyme, sage, mace and garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are well cooked (about 10 minutes).
5. Add liver to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until browned on the outside and still pink in the middle (about 3-4 minutes).
6. Add sherry to pan and bring to boil (you can increase heat to high if you want). Boil 2-3 minutes, until you can't smell alcohol in the steam.
7. Remove from heat. Remove bay leaf, rosemary stem, and thyme stems. Add salt and the remaining cooking fat.
8. Pour hot liver mixture into a blender or food processor. Pulse until smooth.
9. Pour into the prepared loaf pan (or serving dish of choice).
10. Once it's cool enough to touch, make sure to cover with plastic wrap tightly across the entire surface (plastic wrap should be touching the pâté with no air bubbles) to prevent oxidation (you'll still get some, which is okay, but doing this helps your pâté stay a nice pink color which tastes better and is better for you).
11. Refrigerate overnight up to a few days before eating.

2. In a large bowl whisk together almond flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons pizza seasoning, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, bacon grease (or ghee or coconut oil), and honey.
3. In a small bowl, whisk 2 eggs together. Add egg mixture to the almond flour mix and stir to combined. Add 1 tablespoon coconut flour and stir to combine. Allow the mixture to sit for a minute and then add the other tablespoon of coconut flour and stir to combine. The batter should be slightly sticky and easy to knead.
4. Make a ball of dough and on a large clean surface (I used a large cutting board) roll dough using finger tips to make a long rope. I compare it to play with play dough with my kids and making a snake. You want a long snake about 1/2 inch thick in diameter. Carefully fold the long rope in half so you have two pieces in equal size.

39. Cobb Salad

Ingredients
Salad:

• 2 heads of romaine lettuce
• ½ cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 avocado
• 3 pastured eggs
• 5 slices of pastured bacon

Chicken Breast:

• 1 boneless skinless pastured chicken breast
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• ½ tsp sea salt
• ½ tsp pepper
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp paprika

Dressing:

• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• ½ tsp sea salt
• ½ tsp pepper

Cooking Instructions
Salad Dressing:

1. Combine all dressing ingredients in a small jar and cover with an air-tight lid. Shake the jar until all ingredients are mixed. Shake the jar before using the dressing.​

Chicken Breast:

1. Start by brining the chicken—this will make it moist and juicy. To brine it, fill a bowl with lukewarm water and stir in about 1 tablespoon of sea salt until it is dissolved. Place the chicken in the bowl of salt water for 15 minutes.
2. While the chicken is brining. Pre-heat the oven to 425°F. Once the chicken is done brining, remove it from the water and pat it dry with a paper towel. Place it in a pyrex baking dish and brush with olive oil. Sprinkle the salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika over the chicken breast and rub it in.
3. Place in the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the breast reaches an internal temperature of 160-170°F. Once you remove the chicken from the oven, allow it to rest for a minimum of 15 minutes before cutting it.

Bacon:

1. Place the strips into a large cast iron pan, then turn the heat to low-medium. Allow the bacon to cook, flipping every few minutes for even cooking. Once the bacon has browned evenly and has crisped up a bit it is about done. The bacon will continue to cook slightly after removing it from the pan so remove it just before it reaches your favorite level of doneness. Place it on a paper towel to catch the drippings.
2. Once the bacon has cooled, transfer it to a cutting board and chop it into small bits and set aside.

Hard Boiled Eggs:

1. Place the eggs into pot, and fill to cover the eggs with cold water. Add a dash of salt and a dash of vinegar.
2. Turn the heat to high and allow the water to come to a boil. Once the water reaches a boil, turn off the heat and remove the pot from the burner. Cover the pot and let sit for about 10-15 minutes. Then drain the hot water from the pan and rinse eggs with cold water. Once the eggs have sufficiently cooled, peel them, then chop them and set aside.

Salad:

1. To assemble the cobb salad start by washing and chopping the romaine lettuce and patting it dry. Place the lettuce in a bowl.​
2. Chop the avocado, chicken and tomatoes into bite sized pieces. Arrange all of the chopped toppings into rows over the romaine lettuce.
3. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and serve!

41. Eggplant Caprese Salad With Fried Garlic & Balsamic

Ingredients

• 1 large eggplant/aubergine, sliced into 0.25 inch thick disks
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• 5-6 tablespoons olive oil (more if needed)
• 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 7-8 cherry tomatoes, halved (1 large tomatoes can be sliced instead)
• 70-80 grams soft mozzarella cheese (buffalo mozzarella is best), sliced
• 8-10 medium basil leaves
• 1 tablespoon aged balsamic vinegar
• extra sea salt and pepper to season

Instructions

1. Slice the eggplant and spread the disks on a chopping board or a plate. Sprinkle evenly with sea salt. Leave for 5-10 minutes to draw out some of the juices. This will make the eggplant less oil hungry.
2. Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat (not too hot as to not burn the oil too much). Once hot, add the eggplant slices and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until grill marks appear. You will need to drizzle more oil over the slices as they will absorb the oil instantly and they will not cook properly if left too dry. Don't panic too much about the amount of olive oil used, it's all good stuff and not a problem in a lower carbohydrate dish such as this one.
3. Once cooked, layer the eggplant on a larger serving plate and set aside.
4. Add a little more olive oil to the frying pan and add the garlic slices. Cook over medium-high heat for a minute or so on each side, until golden brown.
5. Top the eggplant slices evenly with mozzarella slices, tomato halves, basil leaves and fried garlic. Drizzle over the balsamic vinegar and season with a little extra sea salt and pepper.

50. Mushroom, Leek, and Thyme Soup

Ingredient

• 10-15 grams (about 1/2 an ounce) dried porcini mushrooms
• 2 tbsp butter or ghee if avoiding all dairy
• 1 large leek, pale part diced (make sure to rinse the leek well)
• 1 celery stick, finely diced
• 3 garlic cloves, diced
• 10 sprigs of fresh thyme, leaves only (dried can be used as well, about 1 tbsp)
• 15 medium crimini/Swiss brown mushrooms, roughly diced
• 1 small sweet potato (use the purple one with white flesh if you can get it), peeled and diced
• 3 cups good quality chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 tbsp fish sauce
• 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
• 2 bay leaves
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 3 tbsp cashew, sunflower, or almond butter
• Garnish: 3-4 button mushrooms, fresh sprigs of thyme, black pepper

Instructions

1. Place dried porcini mushrooms in a small bowl with boiling water and soak for 15-20 minutes. Once softened, strain but reserve the liquid and dice the mushrooms.
2. While porcini mushrooms are soaking, heat butter or ghee in a large heavy saucepan, and sauté diced leek and celery until soft and golden, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add garlic, thyme, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, and stir for a minute until slightly golden as well.
4. Add soaked porcini mushrooms together with about half a cup of reserved mushroom infused liquid. Follow that with the stock, fish sauce, mustard, bay leaf, pepper, and lemon zest. Add a little bit more water if the saucepan is overcrowded or if you like your soup on the thinner side. Stir, cover with a lid and bring to boil. Reduce the heat to simmering and cook the soup with the lid on for about 15 minutes. After that, remove the lid and cook uncovered for a further 5 minutes.
5. Finally transfer to a blender, food processor, or use a hand-held puree stick right in the saucepan (off the heat though). Add lemon juice and nut butter and process until well pureed. Taste and season with sea salt if needed, depends on the stock you used. You can also add a little extra lemon juice if you like a bit more zing. If the soup is too thick, you can dilute it with a little warm water.
6. One last step! Slice the remaining 5 mushrooms and pan fry them in a little coconut oil or butter until browned and season with a little sea salt. Use those and the fresh thyme sprigs to garnish the soup when served.

59. Sweet Potato Chips

Ingredients

• 6 long skinny sweet potatoes (mine were about 1½" thick at the most)
• 1 Tbsp Salt
• 4-6 cups palm shortening (enough to have 1½"-2" of oil in your pot)

Instructions

1. Slice sweet potatoes as thinly as possible (I sliced mine 1/8" thick on my mandolin slicer and left the peel on. You can peel them first if you prefer.)
2. Generously sprinkle sweet potato slices with salt, place in a colander in your kitchen sink and let drain for 1-2 hours (or more).
3. Rinse excess salt off sweet potato slices and pat dry with clean tea towels or paper towel. It's really important that these slices are dry before they are put into the oil. Any excess water on them will cause the oil to bubble aggressively.
4. Meanwhile, heat palm shortening in a fairly deep, wide bottomed pot with an oil thermometer attached to the side. Aim to get the oil to 375ºF (or slightly hotter since it will cool down when you add the sweet potato). You need to try and figure out exactly what setting to have your element on to keep the oil at that temperature. For my stove, it was a touch over the 8.
5. Add a generous handful of sweet potato slices to the oil by gently slipping then into the oil with your hand quite close to the surface. Use your strainer or skimmer to push the slices apart. Make sure the oil comes back to temperature quite quickly. Watch them. When they stop bubbling a lot, start to curl slightly, and brown a bit, they are done. It takes about 2 minutes if your oil comes back to temperature quickly. It takes a bit longer if there is a lag time in getting your oil back up to 375ºF.
6. Use your strainer or skimmer to scoop the sweet potato chips out of the oil and place on your prepared paper towels to cool. I found that mine had enough residual salt that they didn't need any more. Taste yours and see if they are salty enough. If not, sprinkle some salt over the top while they are still warm.
7. Repeat in batches, each time making sure you oil comes back up to 375ºF. Let the chips cool to room temperature and enjoy!

60. Homemade Pork Rinds

Ingredients

• Pork skin
• Salt (this is optional, salt-less rinds are also excellent and it's usually the way I make them)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325 F.
2. Put the skin on a baking sheet. (Lining the sheet with parchment paper will make it much easier to clean afterwards).
3. Put the skin in the oven for anywhere between 1.5 hours to 3 hours. Most recipes call for 3 hours of cooking, but my experience tells me that most of the time it's ready after 1.5 hours. You want them to be crispy but you don't want them to be hard as a rock.
4. Get it out of the oven, let it cool a bit and enjoy. They are delicious when still a little hot. If there was a lot of fat attached to it and you don't cook them for too long, there will be a crunchy and moist side and you'll enjoy the best of both worlds.

62. Maple & Sesame Apple Crisps

Ingredients

• 2 Granny Smith Apples (makes about 2 trays of apple slices)
• 1/2 lemon
• 2-3 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tbsp sesame seeds
• 1 tsp cinnamon powder

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 110°C/230°F.
2. Wash and slice apples very thinly (see pic above). You can remove the seeds if you like but it's fine to leave them in. Rub or drizzle the slices with a little lemon juice and place on a parchment paper lined oven trays.
3. Bake for 2 hours, turning the slices over half way through. You might need to rotate the trays in the oven for even heat exposure.
4. After two hours, the slices should be considerably dried up. Take the trays out and brush each slice with maple syrup. Then sprinkle with a little cinnamon and put back in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
5. After 10-15 minutes, remove the trays again, give the slices another light brush (more of a dub) with maple syrup and sprinkle with sesame seeds. We're adding the sesame seeds right at the end as they can burn easily. Put back in the oven for 4-5 minutes.
6. Finally, remove the trays from the oven and let the apples cool before storing in an air-tight container.

64. Fried Plantains

Ingredients

• 3 large green plantains
• 2 cups ghee (or coconut oil or your choice of fat)
• coarse ground sea salt, to taste

Instructions

1. Enter your text here...Run each plantain under warm water before peeling. Using a sharp knife, trim the ends and slice each plantain lengthwise and use both hands to remove each peel and discard.
2. Using a sharp knife, first slice each plantain in half, lengthwise. Then cut extremely thin slices, parallel with that first center cut, until you reach the end. Repeat for the second half and then repeat for each plantain. (If you're prepping ahead of time and not immediately frying the plantains, you can place them in a bowl, cover with cold water and 1 tablespoon of lime juice then drain and pat dry with paper towels before frying)
3. Heat a 10.25-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add ghee and reduce heat to medium, add sliced plantains to the pan (do not overcrowd), cook plantains turning until they are crisp.

65. Labels and Sea Salt Almond Crisps

Ingredients

• 2 cups unblanched almond meal
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 egg white (2 tablespoons)
• 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
• flaky sea salt to finish (Maldon is my favorite.)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Put the almond meal in a medium-sized bowl and make a well in the center.
3. In a small bowl whisk together the water, olive oil, egg white, and sea salt. Add the wet ingredients to the almond meal and stir to thoroughly combine.
4. Between two sheets of parchment paper or two Silpats, roll the dough out into a large rectangle an 1/8-inch thick or a little thinner. Sprinkle with sea salt. Gently roll the dough once more to press the salt into the dough.
5. Using a pastry cutter or knife cut the dough into any shapes you like. Take care if you are cutting them directly on a Silpat. Transfer the crackers to a large baking sheet. Bake for 15-17 minutes or until lightly toasted looking on top. Don't fret if they are slightly soft when you remove them from the oven; they will crisp as they cool.
6. Allow crackers to cool on the sheet for five minutes then remove to a wire rack. Store leftovers in an airtight container.

2. Place apple, oil, agave and vanilla in the bowl of your food processor. Pulse until apple is completely pureed.
3. Add remaining ingredients and pulse just until combined.
4. Transfer to a large bowl.
5. Grab a piece of parchment paper about 10 inches wide. Scoop ½ cup of the cracker dough, roll it between your hands to make a ball, then place on one side of the parchment, in the middle.
6. Fold over the parchment (like a book) and then roll the dough between the two pieces of parchment until it's about ¼-inch thick. Fold away the top half and cut or rip it away. Score the crackers into 1-inch cubes. Keeping the crackers on their current sheet of parchment, transfer the sheet to a baking sheet and repeat.
7. Bake for approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes, flipping halfway through and removing the parchment paper. You want the end result to be crisp, crunchy with no moisture left. You want to avoid burning the cracker. Keep the temperature low. Remove from the oven and let cool on a cooling rack for 15 minutes.
8. Makes 100 crackers.

67. Healthy Fruit Leather (a.k.a rollups)

Ingredients

• 2 apples, finely diced
• 10 strawberries, diced
• 1 ruby pink grapefruit, diced
• Stevia/rice malt syrup to sweeten if needed
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• Pinch salt
• 1/4 cup water

Instructions

1. Place the fruit in saucepan with the water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the fruit is soft and the liquid has been reduced. Stir through the cinnamon and salt.

2. Transfer the fruit to a blender and puree until smooth. Taste the mixture and if required add a sweetener. The grapefruit can be quite tart and while suitable for adults children may not appreciate this. If you would like a sweeter roll up than I suggest adding some sweetness to balance out the sourness. If a sweetener is added blend again until combined. You should end up with 2-3 cups worth of pureed fruit.

3. Heat oven to 120-150°C (250-300ºF). Line a large baking tray with baking paper (if your baking tray is not very large you may need to use two smaller sized trays). Pour the mixture onto the tray and spread it out thinly by using the back of a spatula. You want it to just cover the baking paper's surface without leaving any gaps (the thinner the better!). Place the baking tray in the oven on the lowest shelf availiable and bake for 8-12 hours. I left mine overnight baking at about 130°C for 9 hours. Remove the tray from the oven and using a sharp knife cut the fruit leather into strips. Let it cool completely before peeling the fruit leather off the baking paper. Roll up if desired and store in an airtight container for up to a week!

70. Eggplant Jerky

Ingredients

• 1 large eggplant (about 1 pound)
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Regular or applewood-smoked salt

Instructions

1. Wash eggplant and slice into thin strips. For ease in snacking you can cut long strips in half crosswise. Leave full-length for a more bacon-like appearance.
2. In a large bowl whisk together oil, vinegar, maple syrup, and paprika. Place strips in the mixture a few at a time, turning to make sure each is completely coated. If you run short of marinade, add a little more oil and stir it in with your hands.
3. Marinate 2 hours. Then, place strips on baking sheets or dehydrator trays as follows:
4. To dry in the oven: Line one or two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Lay strips on sheets, close together but not overlapping. Sprinkle on a little salt (you don't need much). Place in oven on lowest setting for 10 to 12 hours (ovens' lowest setting varies, thus drying time will vary) or until dry and fairly crisp, turning strips partway through. Check occasionally, and if any oil pools on the sheets, blot with a paper towel.
5. To dry in a food dehydrator: Lay strips on mesh trays. While you do this, place a tray fitted with a solid sheet underneath the mesh tray to catch any drips. Strips should be close but not overlapping. Sprinkle on a little salt (again, you don't need much). Place trays in dehydrator. Some oil may drip off during dehydrating, so place the tray with the solid sheet (you could use the one used earlier to catch drips of marinade) underneath the mesh trays holding the strips, and lay a couple of paper towels on the sheet. Dehydrate at 115°F for 12 to 18 hours or until dry and fairly crisp.
6. Store strips in an airtight container or plastic bag. Place a paper towel under or around strips to absorb any excess oil.

73. Twisted Flax Sticks - Grain & Vegan Free

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons flax seed meal
• 1/3 cup hot water
• 1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour, gently packed
• 1/2 cup tapioca starch
• 2 tablespoons arrowroot starch
• 2 tablespoons powdered psyllium husk
• 1 tablespoon coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/3-1/2 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoon whole flax seeds

Instructions

1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the flax seed meal and the 1/3 cup hot water. Set the slurry aside to thicken up for at least 5 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 375ºF and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
3. In the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk together the blanched almond flour, tapioca starch, arrowroot starch, powdered psyllium husk, coconut flour, baking powder, sea salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.
4. Stir in the olive oil and flax seed meal slurry, and then slowly pour 1/3 cup of warm water into the flour mixture and stir until combined.
5. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes to allow the psyllium husk powder and coconut flour time to expand and absorb the liquid.
6. If the dough is still dry and crumbly, continue to add additional warm water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough easily comes together to form a workable dough.
7. Stir in the whole flax seeds.
8. Cover a clean work surface with a large piece of parchment paper and use a rolling pin to roll the dough out in a circle until it's thinner than 1/4 of an inch thick, but thicker than an 1/8 of an inch. The dough should be very easy to work with, but if it starts to stick to your rolling pin, simply place another large sheet of parchment paper on top of the dough, and roll it out between the layers of parchment paper.
9. Use a pizza cutter or a large kitchen knife to cut the dough into long strips, that are approximately 8-9 inches long, and 1/2 inch thick.
10. Carefully pick up one of the dough strips, gently twist it 3-5 times, and then place it on one of the baking sheets. Slightly press each end into the baking sheet to prevent it from unraveling. Continue until all of the dough strips are twisted and divided up between the 2 large baking sheets.
11. Bake for 15 minutes, and then flip each of the strips over. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until slightly golden. Cool completely before enjoying.

• 1/2 tsp (2.5 mL) Vanilla Extract
• 1/3 cup (40 g) Coconut Flour
• 1/4 tsp (1.25 mL) Baking Soda, optional
• 1/4 tsp (1.25 mL) Salt
• 2 tbs (30 mL) Applesauce
• 1/2 Peach, diced
• 1/2 Apple, diced
• 2 Figs, diced
• 1/8 tsp (1 mL) Nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp (1 mL) Ginger
• 1/4 tsp (1.25 mL) Cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325° F (163° C).
2. Grease an 8x8 inch pan (20x20 cm square) and line it with parchment paper.
3. Puree the eggs, honey, coconut oil, applesauce, and vanilla in a food processor or blender.
4. Add the coconut flour, baking soda, salt, and spices and blend until smooth.
5. Fold in the apple, peach, and figs.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 min or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Note: This doubles nicely, so if you need more bars, just double everything in the recipe and use a 9x13 inch pan (22x33 cm rectangular pan ) instead and increase the cooking time by approximately 5 minutes (I found 45 minutes works nicely).
