The temperatures are dropping and it seems all of the internet is aflutter anticipating turning on ovens and baking. Pumpkin, chocolate, and lots of spices featured heavily in blog posts I’ve read this week. Can we still bake while grain free? Yes, we can! First things first, if you don’t have almond flour or coconut flour in your pantry, go pick some up (or order on Amazon like I did). I tried several grain free baking recipes yesterday and enjoyed the results.
These coconut banana muffins made me forget that I was grain free. Slightly sweet, dense (but not too much) and full of great flavor. Now I can enjoy a muffin instead of eggs in the morning.
Elana’s paleo bread is fantastic. Buttery (and there isn’t any butter in the recipe!), springy – just like “normal” bread, and a it was huge hit with everyone in the family. A piece of this alone or with some nut butter smeared on top and I’ll be full for hours.
I made a batch of these seed crackers this week and have found they are great with dips. My personal favorite? Gaby’s guacamole. The recipe for the crackers is in the notes section on my Facebook page.
Tomorrow we start week two of of our grain-free challenge. Now that it’s been a full week I’d have to ask – how are you feeling? Have you noticed a difference? I have lost 2 inches and 5 pounds in the last 7 days. Amazing! I’d love to hear how are your doing.

Good HEAVENS I could just stare at this post for hours. And hours.
I like your comments. They make me smile.
What a fun post & great grain free recipe ideas too!
Great recipes!! I think I need to do some more baking!
Delicious – I bought some gluten free flour – does this count as grain free – confused! x
Gluten free flours are made from grain, so no, they aren’t grain free. Sorry! But after reading “Wheat Belly” moving over to gluten free seems like good direction to go.
Everything looks so yummy! Great post today
I didn’t even know coconut flour existed! So cool! I use almond flour to make pancakes…..all you do is mix together the a. flour, cottage cheese, eggs + desired spices and you have a batch of yummy to your tummy and perfectly grain free breakfast! They taste better than the wheat ones in my opinion!
Thanks for sharing these options!
Gail
Yum! Do you mind sharing the measurements on those ingredients?
Hi Carrie, congrats on the weight/inches loss!!! I’m ready to start chipping grain away from my diet and was blessed to already have a good stash of organic coconut flour in my supply. Now I just need to get at least some almond flour. What brand and kind do you recommend?
I bought Bob’s Red Mill on my last order. I know Tropical Traditions and Wilderness Family Naturals also carry a good coconut flour.
i bought mine from TRopical Traditions. Quick turnover time and great taste!!
I am interested in trying the Paleo bread. Thanks for posting!
Can I get the recipe for those amazing seed crackers? I am not on Facebook at all. I have been gluten free for 4 years and am finding myself frustrated with not being able to lose any weight. Before my diagnosis I had been on a doctor monitored low carb diet and had lost alot of weight, but once I met my target the doctor had me introduce wheat back into my diet which led to weight gain, sickness and a diagnosis of celiacs. I found the low carb too restrictive and am eager to learn more about the Paleo plan-can you recommend some books or cookbooks for me to read. I love to bake and do not want to give it up! THANKS!
I sent you an email.
would also love the recipe for the crackers!!!
Is raw milk ok to use???? Instead of heading to the store today I’d like to use what I have in the fridge
Yes!
I’ve cut out all grain , but I’m still using all of my raw dairy.
What an amazing challenge..Awesome ideas, love the recipe and photos too! Congrats on loosing Lb’s..
Okay, 2 inches and 5 pounds – WOW! I am jealous!!!
I just didn’t think I could go grain-free, but those results sure do want me to try.
P.S. Is there any way you could post the seed cracker recipe on your site? I only have my work computer and can’t access Facebook
Delicious, looks mouthwatering!!!!!!
Great round up of recipes Carrie!!
You’ve inspired me. Yesterday was my first day without grains. Today it’s eggs and cheese for breakfast with fruit, lunch will be a big pot of chicken stock with tons of veggies thrown in and tonight a yummy meat stir fry. Will keep you posted. xx
Congrats on going grain-free and on the inches loss!
These recipes look pretty amazing too. I’m thinking I may have to join you
Carrie,
The measurements for the almond-flour pancakes are:
2/3 cup whole curd cottage cheese
3 large eggs
1/2 cup ground almond meal/flour
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Beat until smooth and heat on griddle. Yields 6 pancakes. I’d double or triple it if I were making them for a family.
Feel free to share if you think the recipe is blog-worthy! I usually spread a small amount of butter and pure maple syrup and eat with blueberries or strawberries cut up on top. Anywho, that’s that!
(from the book: The Clear Skin Prescription by Nicholas Perricone, M.D.
Hugs,
Gail
I’ve just been suggested (told) to go grain-free so these recipes are more than welcome and I’m really looking forward to trying them out! Thank you!
Coconut banana muffins, yummy yummy yummy
Thanks For The recipe
Spencer
Yikes! I am allergic to both coconut and almond! And I am trying to eat grain free because of digestive issues!
Any other suggestions?
I still do you your recipes!
Maybe you can make other recipes like these pancakes: http://deliciouslyorganic.net/pancake-and-waffle-gluten-free-grain-free-recipe/or recipes that don’t require baking. Have you heard of the GAPs diet? It might be a diet to look into since you have digestive issues. The goal of the diet is to heal the gut. I did this diet with my daughter this year and she did really well with it!
