Drop Biscuits and Apple Butter!

Drop Biscuits (pictures of recipes to come)

So a couple weeks ago, I discovered this recipe (in the Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook) that literally changed my Paleo life. I haven't decided yet if finding this was a good or bad thing. But it sure is a delicious thing! Some may call it SWYPO (check out the Whole30 challenge and you'll get it) but I call it sanity. It is a Paleo bread-like substance. Not only that, but it's good. Like...make 2 entire batches for yourself and eat them all good. Like...checking the ingredients twice to make sure they're really Paleo good. Okay you get the point. On with the recipe.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour

1/2 tsp. sea salt

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/4 cup grapeseed oil

1/4 cup apple butter (Original recipe calls for 1/4 cup agave but I haven't tried that. Recipe for apple butter is below this recipe.)

2 large eggs

1 tsp. lemon juice

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or oil your baking sheet.

Combine all dry ingredients in large bowl. Combine all wet ingredients in smaller bowl. Pour wet into dry and combine thoroughly. With a spoon, drop biscuit-sized portions on baking sheet. The biscuits won't change much in size as they bake. Also, I wouldn't recommend molding the biscuits into pretty shapes just because they won't be as crispy. They may turn out a little softer (which is okay I guess).

Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

EAT! Or wait for the apple butter to be done. And then eat.

Apple Butter

I added an apple butter recipe to this post because the two just seem like a match made in heaven. I found this apple butter recipe on www.fastpaleo.com. It is so easy to make as long as you have a little time on your hands. Although there is a lot of natural sugar in the apples and apple cider, it is still considered Paleo since there is nothing added! Anywho, onward.

Ingredients:

1 cup apple sauce (substitute 1 cup of pumpkin puree for pumpkin butter)

1 cup apple cider

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. allspice

Instructions:

Combine all of the ingredients. You can put them in the food processor if you want an extra smooth spread. I've done it both ways and it didn't make much of a difference. I guess if you're using a chunkier apple sauce that would be the way to go.

Cook in a saucepan over low heat until it thickens to your liking. This may take an hour or two. Don't get too impatient! Stir every 5 minutes or so.

Store in the refrigerator and put it on EVERYTHING.

I hope you like these recipes as much as I do. I've tested them on multiple groups of people and never heard a bad review. I'm pretty sure one recipient even uttered the words "I think I'm going to cry!"
