Gluten-Free, Paleo Recipe
Discover a delicious gluten-free, paleo recipe that's easy to make, packed with wholesome ingredients, and perfect for clean, healthy eating.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredient
- 1 cup almond flour – a naturally gluten-free low-carb flour that adds a light, nutty flavor
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour – helps with texture and moisture balance
- ½ teaspoon baking soda – gives just the right amount of lift
- Pinch of sea salt – enhances all the natural flavors
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs preferably cage-free or pasture-raised – for structure and protein
- 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil – healthy fat that adds richness and keeps things moist
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or raw honey – for a touch of natural sweetness
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – adds depth and a cozy aroma
Optional Add-Ins
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips dairy-free, paleo-approved – if you’re craving a sweet treat
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg – for warm spiced undertones
- Fresh berries or chopped nuts – great for texture and added nutrients
Instructions
Mix the dry ingredients
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- A pinch of sea salt
- This creates a light, grain-free base that holds everything together beautifully.
Combine the wet ingredients
- In another bowl, beat together:
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Stir until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
Bring it all together
- Carefully pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
- Mix until you get a thick, smooth batter. If it feels too dry, add 1–2 teaspoons of almond milk or water for better consistency.
Customize with add-ins(Optional but encouraged!)
- Fold in any extras like:
- Dark chocolate chips
- Chopped nuts
- Fresh berries
- These little touches make the recipe your own and add fun bursts of flavor.
Scoop and shape
- Using a spoon or scoop, portion the batter evenly into your prepared pan or tray. Gently press down the tops using the back of a spoon.
Bake to perfection
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, until the tops turn golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Watch closely—they can quickly go from perfectly baked to overdone!
Cool and enjoy
- Allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack. This helps them firm up and develop the perfect texture.
