Orange Gingerbread Cookies {Gluten, Dairy, Sugar Free}

by | Dec 19, 2022 | Desserts, Paleo, WILDFIT

Well I am BACK! There are a few things that will look different for a little bit.

 

1) I won’t have photographs of me making the recipes, as finding the time to create them and capture them, isn’t yet doable. 

2) I can’t guarantee consistency, this blog is more just so I have all my favourite treats saved for friends and family to create healthy alternatives. 

 

Let’s get to it! 

This recipe is one that I tested out last year, but never shared as I needed to alter a few of the ingredients…well I finally attempted it again! 

 

It originally was a friends family Christmas recipe that they allowed me to alter into a gluten, dairy and sugar free version! 

 

This year I tried removing a few hard to find ingredients and add some more to add additional flavour without adding more sugar. 

 

Below you will find what I came up with! I give you the BEST orange gingerbread cookies you could imagine!

Blueberry Cream Pie {Dairy & Gluten Free}

Blueberry Cream Pie {Dairy & Gluten Free}

by | Mar 31, 2022 | Desserts

This recipe was inspired by one of my biggest fan favourites that everyone loves – Banana Cream Pie! Here is just a fun version with blueberries, but really you could do this recipe with any fruit. Saskatoon berries are a favourite in our household. 

Start by soaking your dates if they are not soft – this will make blending everything together SO much easier. 

Throw all your crust ingredients into a food processor and blend it until you don’t have any large almond chunks.

Here is roughly how it should look when blended together. 

 

Now for the fun part! You can make this recipe be a full pie or you can make mini ones that are perfect for parties. 

 

Next step is to get your fruit ready. For today’s recipe we are using blueberries! 

But you could really use any type of fruit you enjoy. 

 

Place them on top of the crust or if you really want you can mix them inside the cream filling. 

This is totally up to you! 

 

Next mix your filling! 

The amount coconut cream you use depends on the size of your pie try and if you have coconut cream or coconut milk. 

When using cans of Coconut Milk you want to ensure you chill them 24 hours before. 

Once you have the cream tasting the way you enjoy – place it into your pie tray or mini cupcakes. 

The last step is the HARDEST!

 

That is to place it in the fridge to chill for a minimum of 3 hours.

 

Sometimes the pie will need longer – so I often make this at night to enjoy/serve the following day.

 

Lastly, enjoy!

Homemade Fig Newton Cookies {Dairy & Gluten Free}

Homemade Fig Newton Cookies {Dairy & Gluten Free}

by | Mar 24, 2022 | Desserts, Paleo, Recipes, Snacks, WILDFIT

Let me start by saying, these cookies aren’t exactly pretty! But they taste amazing!! 

I had found a blog a while back that made fig energy bites and since then I had wanted to try to make Fig Newton Cookies – well I finally did it! 

The recipe calls for 1 Cup of dried figs, well I only had 3 left after that, so I just used the entire bag. 

 

I recommend soaking them in hot water for about 10 minutes before you blend all the filling ingredients together. 

Alright, I have to be honest I was very nervous when many recipes suggested using Orange juice and rind inside. I thought it would ruin the taste of the cookies, but nope! It just makes them that much better. 

Omit if you’d like or enjoy a hint of orange with each bite. 

Next – add all the filling ingredients into a food processor.

I personally don’t blend half, then the other half. I just simply blend it all at once!

Set aside the filling until you have your dough ready and layed out. 

 

Let me show you how I put my fig newtons together. 

I started by rolling out the dough between two pieces of parchment paper. 

 

You can roll in quite thin or keep it thicker if you prefer! If you need a reference 1cm is about what you’d like. 

 

Next I cut the dough into strips.

Then I put the filling on half of the strips and folded the other side on top.

 

Yes – I am sure there is a much better way to do this, but this is what worked for me! 

Essentially you want to create 4-5 logs of Fig Newton Cookies. 

 

How you do that is really up to you! I found the dough super forgiving and easy to work with. 

 

Last step is to place them on a non-stick baking sheet or some parchment paper and bake them at 350 fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes. 

 

You want them to be golden brown as the figs will keep them quite moist. 

 

Once they have cooled, cut them into your desired size and enjoy!

  • Gather all your filling ingredients and place them in a food processor. Blend until you have a grainy mixture.

  • Mix all your crust ingredients together, except for the water. Save the water for last if you find your crust super sticky or dry – then add in the water.

  • Roll out the crust between two pieces of parchment paper.
  • Cut the crust into strips.
  • Place the filling on half of the strips and begin folding the other half on top of the strips with the filling to form your Fig Newton logs. Your goal is to create 4-5 logs. This may take some patience, but it's worth it!
  • Once you have your logs created and you are satisfied with how they look, place them on a non-stick baking sheet or parchment paper and place in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
  • Once they are golden brown, remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  • Once cool cut into your desired size of cookie. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You want to bake your cookies until they are golden brown as the fig newtons will keep them moist.
  • Store in an air tight container for 4 days or freeze for 1-2 months.

Wild Berry Cobbler {Dairy, Gluten & Sugar Free}

by | Mar 10, 2022 | Breakfast, Desserts, Egg Free, Paleo, WILDFIT

This recipe is a simple easy one to make one evening to enjoy the next day. 

Start by melting your frozen berries with some honey and tapioca starch to thicken the mixture.

I personally enjoy a mixed berry blend with some dark cherries. 

Then combine all the topping ingredients together in a bowl. 

 

Feel free to add oats or hemp seeds for some more texture. 

Then once your berry mixture is to your desired consistency, pour it into a cake pan. 

 

Note: It will not thicken much more than this when you place it in the oven. 

 

Then add the topping mixture on top and spread it out as evenly as possible. It won’t look super pretty, but it will taste very good! 

 

Bake in the oven at 350 for about 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown. 

 

This recipe will serve about 6 people. 

 

Top with some Dairy Free Whip Cream and ENJOY!

Dairy Free Whip Cream

I love whip cream just as much as anyone else or maybe a little more! This here is my secret weapon when I am making a dairy free whip cream. It not only tastes like the real deal, it also is SUPER easy to make. 

 

Add in:

  • 1-2 Tablespoons of maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • Optional: Cinnamon

 

Whip it all together in a mixer. Place it in a Zip Lock baggy for a simple way to use it. Chill for about 2 hours and then cut a hole in the corner of the zip lock bag and enjoy!

Mini Cinnamon Buns {Review}

Mini Cinnamon Buns {Review}

by | Mar 2, 2022 | Breakfast, Desserts, Egg Free, Nut Free, Paleo, Snacks, WILDFIT

This recipe is originally from Heal Me Delicious

I really love how this recipe was created – it’s super simple, very afforable to make and tastes delicious! 

To begin the first thing you have to do is cook your sweet potato.

Once this is complete I found after many attempts that whipping it in my Kitchen Aid mixer made it the easiest to work with and form a dough. 

You will want to wait until the mashed/whipped sweet potato has cooled significally before you try to roll all the Cinnamon Buns together.

Next add in the Cassava Flour and Sea Salt and mix again. I use my kitchen aid mixer for this as well and it forms the perfect ball of dough.

Next is the filling!

 

Melt your coconut oil over medium heat on the stove or use the microwave. Then mix in the remaining ingredients.

You can add some more coconut sugar if it’s not quite a sandy paste.

 

Rolling the dough is simple when you use parchment paper! I actually typically do this for all my recipes, because when you are not using regular flour and sugar dough is often stickier. 

 

Roll between two pieces of parchment paper until it’s about 1-2 cm thick. Don’t worry if it’s not a perfect shape, your cinnamon buns won’t be either! 

 

Then add the filling on top. Spread it around until it is even. Don’t go too close to the edges or it will pour out!

 

Next cut the strips to your desired size. The original recipe includes some extra steps and makes full-sized Cinnamon Buns. I personally have tried both ways and LOVE making them mini and bite sized for on the go snacks. 

Take your time now, sit down and put some tunes on as you roll each individual bun! 

You’ll see in the images mine are all about an inch wide and 2-3 inches long. 

 

Next it’s time to bake them for 30-35 minutes. I personally like them a little extra cripsy on the edges and soft inside. 

You will find the perfect time length for your tastebuds and oven! 

Then enjoy!

Orange Spice Cookies {Nut, Gluten & Dairy Free}

by | Mar 1, 2022 | Desserts, Egg Free, Nut Free, Paleo, Tips, WILDFIT

This recipe came after I was asked if there was a gluten free cookie recipe that I enjoyed without nuts! Yes some people can be allergic to nuts and gluten sensitive – if that’s you, then this is a MUST READ! 

The flour used in this recipe is Cassava Flour – which is from a root vegtable. 

If you prefer to have a plain more sugar cookie version of this recipe you can do that by:

 

1) Removing the spices and orange rind

2) Adding in more sugar from 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup

3) Pick your flavouring almond or vanilla and enjoy! 

Once you have your cookies all mixed the way you’d like – place them on a tray in single tablespoon measurements and bake them in the oven!

NOTE: These cookies are very crumbly due to the type of flour you use, they taste amazing, but they are not the kind you can split in half and share!

Blueberry Banana Bread {Dairy, Gluten & Sugar Free}

by | Feb 24, 2022 | Breakfast, Desserts, Paleo, Recipes, Snacks, WILDFIT

This is one of those recipes that you want to save in your pocket for when you have too many ripe bananas! 

Just always keep some frozen blueberries in the freezer – those should be a staple. 

 

Start by gathering all your ingredients 

Then mix all the dry ingredients together

Once that is complete add in the wet ingredients (but of course save the blueberries for last)

Fold in the blueberries.

 

P.S. I have always used frozen blueberries for this Banana Bread recipe – works every time! 

Place into a loaf tray and into your pre-heated oven! 

 

This is where it can get a little interesting…

 

You are going to want to bake it for 25 minutes as is, then bake for 25-30 minutes with a little tin foil hat on top! 

 

When is it done?

You want to be able to insert a knife or toothpick and have it come out clean – then let it cool and enjoy! 

Lastly, this is one of the BEST recipes to freeze. 

 

Wait until your Blueberry Banana Bread has cooled, slice it about 3/4″ all the way along, then take peices of parchment paper and wrap indviudal slices, place them into a freezer bag and toss in the freezer! 

When you’re ready to reheat them – warm a slice up over low-medium heat inside a frying pan or use a toaster!

The BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies {Gluten & Dairy Free}

The BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies {Gluten & Dairy Free}

by | Feb 17, 2022 | Desserts, Egg Free, Paleo, Vegan, WILDFIT

The recipe you’re about to read is one of my best kept secrets that I feel the world should share, because everyone needs Chocolate Chip Chookies that not only taste like the real thing, but are easy to make and don’t come with regular cookie consequences.

When I was creating this recipe I went through a million paleo recipe ideas and ways that chocolate chip cookies can be made without dairy, sugar or wheat. 

 

However, I found none of them to be soft chewy chocolate chip cookies that you’d get from a local bakery – until I created this recipe! 

 

This recipe is also made without egg – not because I am vegan – but because then the cookie dough is safe to consume! 

 

Alright so let’s begin! 

There are three types of flour you can use:

1. Almond Flour (this one you’ll need either way)

2. Coconut Flour – if you’re on a budget

3. Cassava Flour – if you want softer cookies

 

Next is the chocolate chips, these can be difficult to pick as pretty much all of them will have sugar inside.

 

If you’re feeling lost on what to choose, go read THIS BLOG POST

Once you have all your ingredients I do recommend mixing all the flours together first and then you can add in all the ‘wet’ ingredients. 

As for flavouring vanilla or almond extract both taste amazing! It’s up to you which to choose. 

 

One of the things that is going to surprise you the most about this recipe…

 

Adding water!

 

I know it may sound weird but it sure does work, every single time!

 

Trust me on this one and just give it a shot.

 

Once everything is mixed, I like like scoop them out using a tablespoon measurer, so that they are all a similar size.

Note: They do not expand like crazy, how you leave them on the tray is how they’ll bake. So if you want softer cookies don’t flatten them and if you like crunchier cookies, make sure the squish them down a little bit. 

 

Now that you’re cookies are on the cookie tray – all I want to say is good luck not testing the dough! It tastes amazing, but so do the cookies. 

These cookies I have frozen before, many times and they will remain just as good. Don’t leave them in the freezer too long though!

Let me know what you think of my favourite recipe of all time.
