My Paleo Grain Free Loaf. I found this amazing loaf a few weeks ago and I've tweaked it a little bit to be more palateable. Then met up with a beautiful friend who couldn't eat any grains....so I cut out the oats and substituted them.
Ingredients:
1 cup / 135g sunflower seeds
½ cup / 90g flax seeds ground is best.
½ cup / 65g hazelnuts or almonds or pumpkin seeds(my preference)
1 ½ cups / 145g mix of coconut chips(raw) & ground almonds.(this is where I put oats!!)
2 Tbsp. chia seeds
4 Tbsp. psyllium seed husks (3 Tbsp. if using psyllium husk powder)
1 tsp. fine grain sea salt (add ½ tsp. if using coarse salt)
1 Tbsp. maple syrup (for sugar-free diets, use a pinch of stevia)
3 Tbsp. melted coconut oil or the good oil.
1 ½ cups / 350ml water

Mix it all together adding oil and water last. Let it sit overnight or for at least 2 hours. Cook at 175oC for 30 min in the lined tin, and then take out of tin and paper and cook for 20 minutes freestyle. Let it cool completely prior to cutting. Enjoy!!

1 T orange juice
1 tsp orange zest

Cut pumpkin into cubes place in boiling water for around 12 minutes until just tender. A couple of minutes prior put the dates in with pumpkin. Drain and place in blender with all other ingredients except the baking soda until smooth. Then add baking soda. Blend completely and pour into sprayed muffin or mini loaf tins. Bake approximately 20 minutes until they bounce back. I used a half quantity of dr Libby's ginger cashew topping used in her real food book. I'll post soon. But they are yummy by themselves. Also delicious with blueberrys too!!!

Potato Dosa is one of the most versatile recipes I have ever found. Ingredients: 1 c mashed potato to 1 c wholewheat stoneground flour, 1 tbsp coconut oil and seasoning.
Method: Roll and make into flat breads or use as a pastry to make samosas with your favourite filling. Typically these may be fried, but I prefer to either put them in a fry pan with coconut oil to stop sticking or oven bake. (I find the fry pan best for flat breads!!) My favourite is to serve them with lentil dhal, or stuff with vege curry.
