Paleo Chocolate Soufflés
What’s better than an ooey gooey chocolate soufflé with a warm dark chocolaty center? An ooey gooey chocolate soufflé with a warm dark chocolaty center that’s paleo! Chocolate soufflés used to be one of my favorite guilty indulgences with a capital “G”…now I can enjoy these sinful treats without feeling the need to repent. You can cut the recipe down to 1 if you don’t have the self-control…or make the batter up to 1 day ahead (store in the refrigerator) if you’re wanting to make batch after batch! Serve these hot and piping out of the oven and try them with a dollop of my paleo whipped cream!
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 6 oz dark chocolate
- 4 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp coconut milk
- 2 tbsp honey
- 4 egg yolks
- 4 egg whites
- pinch of salt
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Grease 4 ramekins with additional coconut oil and cocoa powder.
- Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together in the microwave, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the dark chocolate and coconut oil mixture and add the vanilla extract, coconut milk and honey.
- Whisk in the yoks one by one until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and salt together until peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg white mixture into the chocolate.
- Spoon into the ramekins.
- Bake 15 minutes until set and serve immediately.
Chocolate Glazed Paleo Donuts
These are hands down my favorite donuts in the entire world. Unlike the sugar headaches I inevitably get from “regular” donuts, I can devour these suckers guiltlessly with the only consequence being a big ol’ protein boost. If you don’t already have a donut pan, it is definitely worth the investment for a future filled with these fluffy chocolate-y treats. The trick to making these donuts is to be patient to make sure they cool at each step before glazing and after glazing – pop them in the fridge to speed the process up! Enjoy these donuts for breakfast, with a cup of steaming coffee or for a mid-afternoon snack!
- 1 ¼ cup almond flour
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup, grade B
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- ¾ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 2 eggs, separated
- ¾ cup dark chocolate
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease 6-mold donut pan with coconut oil.
- Combine almond flour and baking soda in large bowl.
- Combine maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, coconut oil and egg yolks (set aside the egg whites) in a separate medium bowl.
- Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and set aside.
- Whisk the egg whites together until firm peaks form then fold egg whites into the batter.
- Distribute the batter evenly between the 6 molds.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden then allow the donuts to cool.
- Microwave the dark chocolate and the coconut oil together in a glass bowl for 15 seconds at a time until melted, stirring in between.
- Use a knife to “frost” each donut then chill in the refrigerator until the glaze hardens.
Heaven’s Best Paleo Sea Salt and Dark Chocolate Chunk Cookies
I can honestly say that these are the best cookies I’ve ever experienced in my entire life (and yes, I know that’s a bold statement). I actually prefer these cookies to non-paleo cookies because the almond flour provides a denser texture and the honey ensures the perfect sweetness. The challenge is not eating the entire batch in one sitting!
- 2 cups almond meal
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 6 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 4 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp almond milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate pieces or dark chocolate chips
- sea salt to sprinkle on each cookie
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Combine almond meal, salt and baking soda in a mixing bowl.
- Whisk together melted coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract and almond milk in a smaller bowl.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix together.
- Roll dough into small balls and spread evenly on baking sheet.
- Sprinkle sea salt on the top of each ball of dough.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Remove from oven and let cool before enjoying!
