This is a low glycemic, grainless recipe. I do not use egg whites because I’m allergic to the whites but not the yolks. I find it great for a late afternoon snack, before dinner or can be enjoyed as “dessert” with lunch.
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups crispy almond flour (made fresh from soaked and dried almonds)
- 1/4 cup flax seed meal (made fresh)
- 1 cup sugar-free grated coconut
- 5 pastured egg yolks
- 1 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 cup of grated zucchini, apple, carrot or yam
- 1/4 teaspoon unrefined salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
optional items
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- cinnamon
- cardamom
- lemon/orange peel
- grated ginger
Mix all dry ingredients. Add egg yolks then grated zucchini, apple, carrot or yam. Add melted coconut oil and vanilla. Mix all together and add a little hot water if needed for consistency.
Fill muffin pans 3/4 full. Bake at 350ºF for 25-30 minutes until golden brown on top. Let cool in muffin pans to hold shape. I store in the freezer, good as is or warmed slightly with butter on top.

Carolyn Graff says
you could try using coconut flour instead of almond flour but you will need to make other adjustments as well

I’m trying to heal some serious cavities- serious ones, would I be able to use this recipes or should I continue avoiding all forms of phytic acid? Also can I eat vegetables like sweet potatoes, and pumpkins regularly? How regularly can I eat potatoes? Thank you so much. I live in Australia and am a teenager (if information like this is needed). Thanks in advance, this website is going to be a Godsend I’m sure of it.

HI Debbie,
You definitely want to keep sugar and refined carbs out of the diet altogether, and eat nutrient-dense foods like raw milk or cheese, cod liver oil, liver, especially poultry liver, eggs, fatty meats, plenty of butter, etc. There is a good book called Reverse Tooth Decay by Rami Nagel.
Best, Sally Fallon Morell
