Paleo Strawberry Pastry

So I invented this dessert while writing my post on Top Ten Uses for Three Ingredient Paleo Naan. I thought that it might be awesome because three ingredient paleo naan is so simple and delicious and versatile, so I just tried it out. And it was even more amazing than I could have expected.

Seriously, how can something only sweetened with a small amount of honey be so amazing? It’s because strawberries are amazing. And so is coconut oil. And coconut milk. And when they all come together in this recipe they make magic.

If you need an easy paleo dessert that will give you a lot of taste for not too much effort, this is the recipe for you.Paleo Strawberry Pastry

First, you mix the ingredients for the pastry crust- the coconut milk, tapioca starch, and almond flour. Paleo Strawberry Pastry

Then start cooking the naan on low-medium heat in a frying pan greased with coconut oil. Cook it only half way through.

While the naan is cooking in the pan, cut up the strawberries into small pieces and grease a cookie sheet with coconut oil. (You could also use parchment paper instead of coconut oil).

Cut the naan in half, with the cooked side facing down. Add strawberries and roll up into your desired shape. Add glaze, and make sure some gets on top and inside of the pastry. Then cook! And that’s all it takes.Paleo Strawberry Pastry

Aren’t they beautiful? They taste even better than they look, if you can believe it.

Here is the full recipe:

Serving Size: 4 pastries

Ingredients:

For the pastry dough:

  • Go to My Heart Beets to get the recipe for the dough/naan
  • Coconut oil for frying

For the glaze:

  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the filling:

  • About 15 medium strawberries

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
  2. Mix the ingredients for the paleo naan in a large mixing bowl
  3. Cook half the naan dough in a large pan with coconut oil until halfway done, the point at which you would flip it over
  4. While the naan is cooking, wash and cut the strawberries and mix the ingredients for the glaze in a medium bowl, and grease a cookie sheet with coconut oil
  5. When the naan is halfway done, place it on the cookie sheet with the cooked side facing down and cut the naan in half
  6. Repeat steps 2-3 and 5 for a second naan
  7. Place cut up strawberries in the center of the pastries, and fold up in your desired shape
  8. Brush the glaze over the top of the pastries, and pour the rest so that it seeps inside the pastries
  9. Cook for 15-35 minutes, or until the outside is crispy and the inside is soft and fluffy
  10. Let cool for 5-10 minutes, and serve

Yum. My mouth is watering looking at this picture. And my stomach is starting to growl. I should go make some more of these.

You could also try making these with different fillings- any other fruit or even chocolate or nutella. That sounds crazy amazing. My mouth is watering all over again. I need to go eat something. And then make some more of these pastries.

Easy peanut butter cookies

When I first went off of gluten, I seriously craved some good baked goods. It’s hard to like the grocery-bought stuff when you remember the taste and texture of wheat cookies, cakes, and breads. This recipe enlightened me to the amazingness of gluten free (and also grain free!) baking.

I don’t have step-by-step pictures, so hopefully I can add them later in an updated version of this post. What I do have is an amazing recipe.

First off- let me say- whoever told you that flour belongs in peanut butter cookies in any form was FLAT OUT WRONG. Wrong I say! Taste these and you will immediately know why.

easy peanut butter cookies

Delicious with chocolate chips

Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (room temperature- I prefer all natural peanut butters)
  • 1 egg (works best at room temperature)
  • 1 cup white sugar (brown works too and gives a stickier texture)
  • Optional:
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • chocolate chips

Recipe

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
  2. Mix all the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl until well combined
  3. Lay out wax paper on a cookie sheet
  4. Shape dough into balls. The dough will be sticky
  5. Using a fork, flatten a criss cross pattern into the cookie
  6. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies begin to turn brown
  7. Let cool before eating. Do not skip this step- or your cookies will literally fall apart, unfortunately. Patience, patience.

 

This recipe will give you about 12 medium sized cookies. And that will not be enough- so always make more. Experiment with toppings and additions. I’ve made these with white chocolate chips and they were amazing. They are always amazing. My boyfriend’s family makes me make them every time we get together. They also work great as a substitute for cookie crusts- I made an amazing peanut butter crust cheesecake with chocolate topping using these cookies. Gluten free and completely delicious. Enjoy!
