I was playing in my kitchen on Sunday which is something I like to do! During the week, I never really get the chance. I’ve been doing some experimenting with coconut flour! Do you guys use it? Coconut flour is a great alternative to wheat and other grain flours. It’s high in protein and fiber and of course is gluten free! It’s important to know coconut flour has a very different consistency and can’t be replaced at 1:1 ratio when baking or cooking with it. Want more info on cooking and baking with coconut flour? Check out this site.
Ingredients
- 1T of Peanut Butter ( I used Better 'n Peanut Butter for a lower calorie option)
- 3T of Milk divided ( I used unsweetened Almond Milk)
- 2 T of Coconut Flour
- 1T of Coconut Sugar or other sweeter
- 1 T of mini chocolate chips (Optional)
Instructions
- Microwave 1T of peanut butter with 1T of milk for about 15-20 seconds and give it a stir.
- Add in coconut flour. Add remaining almond milk, one tablespoon at a time.
- Add in sugar and then chocolate chips.
- Roll into balls and eat immediately or freeze for 30-60 minutes
- Enjoy!
I’ve also got some BIG news!! As you all know I trained my first client this week. Well, I’ve picked up another one! I’m having a blast and loving every second. Additionally, I decided to go for my Tabata Boot Camp certification! There is a conference coming to town here in a few weeks and I couldn’t let the opportunity pass me by. I’m a huge fan of Tabata and HIIT and know that I will love every minute of this course. You can check out more information here! Anyways, I so excited and promise to bring back lots of info to share with all of you! I’d love to do a boot camp in my neighboorhood this summer! I live walking distance from a great park with a running track! It would be an awesome place for an early morning sweatfest!
Today is the last day to enter for a bag of Hemp Hearts. Keep on telling me how you stay heart healthy. I love reading all of your responses.
Have a good one!
These sound great! Anything with pb and chocolate chips gets my attention. I really like cooking with coconut flour, but you’re right it’s much different than cooking with regular flour.
I’ve been experimenting with coconut flour! Great options once you figure out how to bake use it!!

I have just recently tried coconut flour . . . . and I LOVE it. I make a cookie dough crumble with it all the time for a snack. It’s so tasty–I can’t believe I didn’t try it earlier.

Laura recently posted…Hemp Hearts= Heart Happiness
2 T. coconut flour, 1 t. sweetener (I use stevia or erythritol), 1/8 t. baking powder, splash of vanilla extract, about 1 T. almond milk . . . . all mixed together. I just adjust the liquid depending on the consistency of crumble you’d like.
It’s so good!!
