Trying to stay lean and healthy comes with its challenges and one of the biggest is satisfying those sweet cravings.  Sugar, wheat flour and and some other grains are usually not only are high in carbos, they are also known to cause inflammation and other food sensitivities for some that can inhibit weight loss as well as cause all sorts of other health havoc  to name just a few joint pain, digestive disorders and even depression.  Here are a few of our favorite sweet treats that are made without any wheat flour or other grain flours and use just a small amount of pure maple syrup or honey and maybe a little stevia to sweeten.

SUN COOKIES

Grain free and with only 5 ingredients, these delicious treats take only five minutes to prepare and offer a healthy alternative. Eat in moderation – one or two per day – and you can stay on track with your healthy, ageless lifestyle. These cookies are approved for ALL LEVELS of the Ageless Woman Diet.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened sunflower seed butter (like Sunbutter)
  • 6 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon NuNaturals LoSweet (optional for extra sweetness)

Love Peanut Butter? 
If you do and you are not sensitive to peanuts (or on Level 3/Phase 1 of our diet), then just switch out Peanut Butter for Sunflower Seed Butter. It will make a slightly thicker mixture, so dip a fork in coconut flour or tapioca flour and score the cookies to press them down a bit. Nutrition stats will not change.

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  • Mix together all ingredients except sun butter and stir well.  Add sun butter and mix until your batter is fully combined and it starts getting thick.
  • Dollop about one tablespoon of batter per cookie on a parchment covered cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 15 – 20 minutes or until golden brown.  Slide parchment paper off the cookie sheet and allow cookies to cool.
  • Makes 18 cookies

Note:
Cookies are best and most crispy if you cook them as long as possible. Remove them from the oven just as the edges are on the brink of being almost too brown.

HEALTHY & GRAIN FREE BANANA BREAD

  • ¼ Cup Coconut Oil
  • ½ Cup Organic Raw Honey or Organic Maple Syrup
  • 1/8 teaspoon NuNaturals LoSweet (optional for extra sweetness)
  • 2 Eggs
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1 ½ Cups Mashed Ripe Bananas
  • 1 1/4 Cup Cassava Flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ Cup Pecans or Walnuts (Optional)
  • ¼ Cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips (Optional)

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.

Combine oil, honey or maple syrup, eggs and vanilla until creamy. Stir in mashed bananas. Add dry ingredients to mixture and mix well. Pour into a greased loaf pan. I recommend placing parchment paper at the bottom of the loaf pan so the bread slips right out.  Bake at 375 degrees for 45 – 50 minutes.

Cassava Flour can be ordered on Amazon. There are a couple of good brands CLICK HERE or HERE

Cassava flour is grain free but not low carb so eat this as a special treat and in moderation as it is a bit higher on the carbs and sugars then our other recipes.

1/8 teaspoon NuNaturals LoSweet (optional for extra sweetness)
1⁄2 Cup Melted Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
1 Teaspoon vanilla

1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
3/4 Cup Coconut Flour
1⁄2 Teaspoon Salt

Bake for 20-22 minutes or until cooked through middle and starting to turn
