Paleo Blueberry & Coconut Cake

Here's another one I made up as I went along...

- 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 banana mashed
- 2 eggs
- 150g almond flour (it was roughly 3 cups)
- 1 heaped tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ginger
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 2 tbsp natural honey
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1.5 cups frozen or fresh blueberries
- 1 cup desiccated coconut (unsweetened) plus extra for sprinkling on top.
- 1 heaped tbsp ground flaxseed


*Pre heat oven to 175'c.
*Melt coconut oil in a saucepan. Take off the heat and add the banana, vanilla, coconut milk and honey, and stir in the eggs one by one (to make sure they dont cook).
*Add the almonds, spices and baking powder and mix well.
*Add the desiccated coconut and flaxseed and mix well again.
*Add your blueberries and mix well, I'd the mixture seems too runny add more coconut, if it seems too thick add a little more coconut milk. The mixture should resemble a slightly thick sponge mixture.
*Pour into a 23cm, paper lined springform or loose based round cake pan.
*Sprinkle extra desiccated over the top and then bake for 30mins.
*Leave to cool slightly before moving onto a cooling rack.

Paleo Paella

Now, before I make the Spanish people hiss at me, I realise this is in no way anywhere near a traditional Paella... Ok, so, now that's out of the way here goes...

- 1 head of cauliflower chopped into tiny bits
- heaped tsp coconut oil
- Small red onion sliced
- 1/2 cup mushrooms sliced
- 200g diced turkey breast
- 1 small courgette/zucchini
- 1 heaped tsp smoked paprika (add more or less to your liking)
- 200g king prawns
- 2 large handfuls of fresh spinach leaves

*Heat a large frying pan and put coconut oil in until melted...
*Keep pan on high heat and add your cauliflower 'rice' and onions and fry for 5 minutes.
*Add mushrooms, turkey and courgette and sprinkle over paprika.
*Keep stirring every couple of minutes until turkey is cooked through and your 'paella' turns a lovely golden brown colour.
*At this point, add your prawns and spinach and stir through. Leave to fry for another few minutes.
* Give it another stir, making sure everything is evenly displaced and evenly browned and then serve!!
* ENJOY!

Side Note - If I'd have had any in I would have added squid and maybe clams to this too. Or any yummy seafood.
