GF maple pumpkin bars


4 organic eggs
1 cup coconut flour
3/4 cup maple syrup
2 TBSP coconut oil
11/2 cups pumpkin purée
Cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and ginger
Dash of sea salt

Frosting
12 oz Organic cream cheese
3 TBSP Maple syrup

Garnish
Raw chopped pecans

1. Mix first set of ingredients together, until smooth. Batter will be chunky. 
2. Bake in a greased pan at 350, about 55 minutes. 
3. Whip frosting ingredients until frothy. 
4. Once cake has cooled frost and garnish with pecans. 

A great addition for those that want a moist, gluten free and refined sugar free dessert option for a party. You can switch out the pumpkin for banana and top with walnuts for a delicious banana muffin alternative.

Pinch of sea salt
Optional: pinch of stevia or sweetener of choice

For extra protein and a buttery flavor top with a generous portion of hemp seeds.

Raspberries and cream oatmeal

Yummmmmmmy!!

I understand that eating frozen foods means I am eating food which has lost its qi (life force), however I make an exception with organic frozen berries. This dish is delicious without a hint of sugar. I feel energized to begin my day.

2.5 cups almond milk or water
3/4 cup raspberries
1 TBPS cinnamon
Dash Himalayan salt

1. Bring all ingredients to a boil for 3 minutes. Lower heat and simmer for another 5 minutes.
2. Add coconut oil, raspberries or coconut flakes to your desire.

This recipe is a keeper!!
