Soft Spice Coconut Milk Ice Cream

Sweet and cozy, this dairy free coconut milk ice cream is a jewel of a dessert.  Specked with light orange zest and cinnamon notes, the rich coconut and almond flavors are a delightful treat.

2 C coconut milk

1/3 C honey

zest of 1 organic orange

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/2 tsp almond extract

Mix all of the ingredients together (I used my blender so the honey would dissolve easily)

Dairy Free, Grain Free Waffles with Banana Coconut Whip

Welcome to the new and improved Almond Flower blog!  My wonderful husband with his graphic design skills recently re-designed The Almond Flower look and we hope to continue enhancing the site.  I will be launching a twitter account soon, I hope you will check me out there and continue reading the blog.  Thank you for your continued interest and support! 

And now this delicious waffle recipe.  Bananas are part of the SCD and GAPS diets once they are very ripe.  I ripen mine in a paper bag to speed up the process.  Once they are black, use them immediately or throw them in the freezer.  When you're ready to use them, simply defrost in the microwave or on the counter in the morning.

A New Venture: Peacock Mercantiles ETSY Shop

A New Venture:
Peacock Mercantiles ETSY Shop

My dream is to one day own a brick and mortar store that sells gluten free baked goods and hand made artistic items. 

"Selling Happiness", as a good friend once told me, just like the recent explosion of cupcake shops.  A store that offers not only gluten free, delicious baked goods, but options within those gluten free goods.  Sugar free, grain free, vegan.  How happy would you be if you could go to an actual place and buy something freshly made, delicious, and within your dietary guidelines?  I would be thrilled. 

Dairy Free Cinnamon Swirl Muffins

Coconut Flour, coconut oil and coconut milk comprise the base of these dairy free cinnamon swirl muffins.

Even with all that coconut, there really is not a coconut flavor.  I bet anti-coconut people would  be happy to eat these!  I was inspired by Cinnamon Bun muffins over at ComfyBelly.com. I reduced the coconut flour by half and added blanched almond flour- I like mixing the two ingredients for a really smooth texture.  But if you prefer solely coconut flour, use 1/2 C and omit the blanched almond flour.  She uses yogurt instead of coconut milk, which is great for people on the SCD and GAPS diets.
