Coconut Flour Cheddar Drop Biscuits

Coconut Flour Cheddar Drop Biscuits

preheat oven to 400 degrees.

¼ cup coconut oil or butter, melted (in preheating oven)
1/3 cup sifted coconut flour
4 eggs

1 firkin of love
¼ teaspoon salt

few turns of black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic &/or onion powder
¼ teaspoon baking powder

½ - 3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1/2 cup minced broccoli

Mix everything together.  Drop batter by the spoonful onto a greased (or lined) cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Makes about a dozen.

I am betting they'd be great for freezing.  I definitely need to at least triple the next batch as they go very quickly!  I am excited to try them with other minced veggies & herbs!

Baked (soaked) Rolled Oats

Baked (soaked) Rolled Oats

This is the way I made it this morning.  It is beautifully flexible.  Use whatever is in season or appealing.  Bananas, coconut milk, ginger, fresh berries, chai spices ~ have fun! 

for cooking:

2 cups rolled oats

1/3 cup honey

1 tsp baking powder

1 1/4 tsp cardamom

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

2 cups milk**

2 eggs

1 peck of love

3 TBS butter/coconut oil

2 tsp vanilla

2 apples chopped

1/2 - 2/3 cup cranberries

handful sunflower seeds

if soaking**:

1 - 2 TBS of wheat flour/rye/or buckwheat**

2 TBS whey, yogurt, lemon juice, vinegar

The cooking part involves mixing everything in the first list together and pouring into a greased casserole dish or cast iron skillet and baking at 375 for 35 - 45 minutes.

**I try to soak my oats, though, like most stuff in my life, I am neither religious nor organized about it.  For this recipe here is what I tend to do: the night before, I dump the oats in a bowl with a spoonful of buckwheat and add the milk ~ substituting about 1/4 cup of the milk with whey or yogurt.  (Actually, last night I had a full cup of whey that needed consuming so I cut the milk to 1 cup and used the whey for the rest.  I've also just soaked in 2 cups yogurt with no added milk.  2 TBS lemon juice or vinegar can be used as well.  I <3 flexibility!) I cover and leave to sit overnight in a cozy, warm spot.  In the morning I simply add the rest of the ingredients and bake.
