This is absolutely bonkers…
…in a stomach-delightful kind of way. How could a moist, sweet biscuit that’s made with NO eggs, NO milk, NO refined white sugar and NO vegetable oil be so dang delicious?
I made a batch of Coconut Manna Sweet Biscuits. The gremlin-children stuffed their jaws and then immediately forced me to make more. I was like Aunt Jemima in the kitchen, whippin’ up biscuits in mass quantities.
With the hubs at my side (giving credit where it’s due!), he helped me come up with this recipe using Coconut Manna
The manna in this recipe is a substitute for vegetable oil. Manna is a “whole food made of pure, dried coconut flesh containing 12% fiber, 9% protein and nourishing fats.” It’s solid, yet melts easily into a silky, creamy, thick-buttery texture.” Ooo-la-laaa!
The coconut sugar is a substitute for the refined crap. It’s brown in color with a slightly nutty flavor and granulated texture. Coconut sugar is a “highly nutritious, rich source of potassium, magnesium, zinc, iron, and B vitamins. It is also one of the lowest glycemic index sweeteners on the market, with a glycemic index of 35, in comparison to cane sugar, which has an index of 68.”
THE RECIPE: “COCONUT MANNA SWEET BISCUITS”
INGREDIENTS (serves 10-12)
2 cups flour2/3 cups water3 tsp baking power1 tsp salt1/2 cup coconut sugar6 tablespoons semi-melted coconut manna (melt on very low heat, or it’ll burn)For a smaller batch of up to 6 biscuits, simply cut all measurements by 1/2.
DIRECTIONS
Add all ingredients to mixing bowl and knead until thoroughly blended.Form into one big-azz dough ball.Flatten out into approximately 1/4 inch thickness.Use a cookie cutter or rim of a small cup to form biscuits.Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes on ungreased cookie sheet.Immediately hot out the oven, spread on additional coconut manna as “icing”.Sprinkle with coconut sugar and begin to chew. Then chew some more. You can’t eat just one. Now chew again…
Don’t worry. The biscuits are NOT riddled with sweet. It’s just a tender kiss of sweetness that’s perfect as part of a weekend breakfast or bunch, occasional snacking, or for showing off fancy baking skills to greedy guests. The recipe does contain regular white flour, but don’t be intimated by it. I don’t feed my stomachs white flour on a regular basis, so these biscuits are a nice splurge. By all means, go on and use a white flour substitute if that’s your cup of tea.
Regardless of the flour, the oil and sugar substitutes through the use of Coconut Manna
…told ya this was bonkers.
BelVita Breakfast Biscuits: Perhaps I’ve broken the golden rule of health snobbery by loving a biscuit in a box? But momma want a biscuit. And this one is delicious.
Chobani Apple Cinnamon Greek Yogurt: This one has officially de-throned my beloved Peach as my favorite Chobani flavor. Apple Cinnamon Chobani tastes just like apple pie with its apple chunks and visible flecks of cinnamon. But let me tell ya something: If you grab your own cinnamon spice and go heavy-handed by adding even more, your taste buds will be belly flipping with extra happiness. Did you know cinnamon has anti-microbial benefits AND helps control blood sugar? Yep, check out all 
Tropical Shakeology: After a very long wait, Tropical flavor just launched today, meeting the demands of vegans, vegetarians and all other forms of greedy humans interested in gulping down 
The requests for free samples has been overwhelming and I want to share with as many people as possible. Soon I will reveal how YOU can get your own free sample, courtesy of the Yum Yucky! (and I am happy that the Shakeology t-shirt makes my boobs look bigger)
It was a rough 20 days. I got super busy with just about everything – work, home, kids, blogging, ebook writing – I’ve been late for work, running on about 4 hours sleep each night, and NOT slurping my Shakeology consistently. In the time when I need it most, I slacked off and made excuses why I couldn’t take 5 dang minutes every day to make the shake that has personally proven itself to give me the energy I so desperately need. In the last 20 days, I’ve had my Shakeology probably 10 times. So that’s basically every other day instead of consistently EVERY day. What’s wrong with that, you say? Welp, I do feel the difference. It’s had a backwards affect and been serious energy drain. I’ve skipped days of Shakeology here and there before with no lost affects, but to skip days for such an extended period of time does not work for me. I’m glad I know this now. I’m listening to my body and back doing what I need to do, so perhaps this was a necessary lesson. I’ve always looked at Shakeology in terms of what it can do for ME and me only, but it’s benefits were actually helping me to also do what I need to do for my family, while giving me the natural boost I need to do everything that my crazy days demand…..
