Grain Free & Corn free - Paleo "Cornbread" Muffins


When you hear "corn-free Cornbread" it sounds kind of crazy. I knew that it was possible for something to "taste" like cornbread even though it does not have corn in it. Before I realized foods were bothering me, I was trying to find a good vanilla cake recipe. One I tried had a huge cornbread taste. Everyone was like "why did you put cornmeal in this" well I hadn't. For whatever reason, somethings just taste like cornbread even though they don't have anything corn in them. That was my hope when I was trying to create "corn free" cornbread muffins. 
These actually do have a "cornbread" taste. Which is good news for people who like cornbread but can't eat corn.   


We have this meal that is the best with cornbread. It just wouldn't be the same without it. These are a PERFECT replacement for the "real" cornbread. They have a similar texture too! I am sure that you could put these among "real cornbread" and no one would think twice about it.

Grain & Dairy free Peanut Butter Bars

These are dairy, gluten, grain, and refined sugar free! Enjoy!  These are the real deal! I love chocolate and peanut butter, so these are  a must have for me! They are so similar to peanut butter cups you buy at the store! These are my go-to treats, they are so fast and easy to make. I will just whip a batch up whenever I want a treat! They are a great on the go dessert, just press the layers in a plastic container and stick the lid on, let set in the freezer, and bring where you need to go!    I like these best at room temperature, they are creamier and richer. But don't leave them out for very long, the coconut oil in the chocolate layer will melt :) I made these the other day with crunchy peanut butter, they were so good!  Peanut Butter Bars Makes 16 squares       Peanut Butter Layer  Heaping 3/4 C.
