Here are two super quick and easy recipes to satisfy your sweet tooth without derailing your healthy eating goals:

The One Minute Brownie

Ingredients:
½ teaspoon coconut oil
2 tablespoons coconut nectar or 100% maple syrup
2 teaspoons coconut flour
2 tablespoons organic cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons organic full-fat coconut milk from a can (“Thai Kitchen” or”Native Forest” are great brands)
pinch of sea salt
½ teaspoon of dark chocolate chips (“Enjoy Life” is my fave brand)

Procedure:

1. In a microwave safe mug or small ramekin, melt coconut oil for 10 seconds. Stir in the coconut nectar or maple syrup.

2. In a separate small bowl, mix the coconut flour, cocoa powder and baking powder.

3. Add the flour mixture to the ramekin and stir thoroughly.

4. Whisk in the 2 tablespoons of coconut milk (or more) until you get the consistency of a thick brownie batter.

5. Bury the chocolate chips in the center of the ramekin to create a gooey chocolate center.

6. Microwave for 60 seconds on high and continue for 15 second intervals until the top is solid. Let cool for 5 minutes before eating. Dig into yumminess with a spoon!

Easy Baked Cinnamon Apples

Ingredients:

2 medium Honey Crisp Apples
4 teaspoons coconut sugar or 100% maple syrup
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon walnuts, chopped fine
1 tablespoon raisins
2 teaspoons butter or coconut oil, melted
