Since going Paleo my family has fallen even more in love with our grill. Paleo and grilling just work well together. The past couple of years I've even been stepping outside my grilling comfort zone more and more. Grilling things I'd never thought to have grilled before and trying new flavor combinations. I have to say I'm pretty thrilled with the results of most of my flavor experiments. In the past I'd never have thought to grill fruit, but it's amazing. Grilling fruit and adding it to traditionally savory dishes? Brilliant. Oh yes, and? New rule: every burger recipe for the rest of forever must contain grilled pineapple. OK, maybe more of a guideline. It's a seriously delicious combination though. This Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burger is always a crowd-pleaser at my house. It's not only Paleo, but Whole30, glutenfree, lower carb, and clean eating friendly. I promise you won't miss the bun! paleo, grilled pineapple burger, smoky
Today, my teen is sick, I was up for 2 hours with him in the middle of the night...I...am...exhausted. I'll be unplugging the rest of the day, but first...
I thought I'd share some recipes I've been working on.
First the cookie recipe...I still need to play with it a little, the consistency isn't quite right yet. As my kids say, they're too 'puffy'. But I liked them.

First the cookie recipe...I still need to play with it a little, the consistency isn't quite right yet. As my kids say, they're too 'puffy'. But I liked them.
Puffy Banana Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies:
- 1 1/4 cup Coach's Oats blended in blender to a flour consistency (you could substitute whole wheat flour, or flour of your choice, but hubby doesn't eat wheat)
- 1 cup vanilla whey protein powder (I used BSN Lean Dessert Protein in Whipped Vanilla Cream)
- 3 packets Truvia
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 egg
- 1 mashed banana
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 Tblsp butter
- 4 Tblsp mini chocolate chips
Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. I used about 1/2 tblsp of dough for each cookie which made about 30 cookies. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes.
I think they need a little less flour, but, if I perfect these, I'll be back with an update!
Banana Muffins
- 1 cup vanilla whey protein powder (I used the same as above)
- 1 cup Coach's Oats blended in blender to flour consistency
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup mashed bananas
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 3/4 cup skim milk
- 1 egg
Put in paper muffin cups in muffin tin and bake at 400 for 20 minutes.
Now, I am at high altitude, so you may need to adjust the flour down a bit, depending where you live.
Happy healthy baking!
HOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAYYY!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THESE!
ReplyDeletePuffy is good when it comes to cookies. Oh I bet they would love to be dunked in some milk.
ReplyDeleteYum! Nothing wrong with puffy..well actually wait, maybe sometimes puffy isn't great ;)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry your teen is sick. Amazing how they still need us. My son has even called me from college to ask which medicine to take or if I thought it was okay for him to go to the dining hall when sick.
ReplyDeleteI am going to try these for sure!! The "puffy" cookies look great!
ReplyDeleteYou say that YOU don't like the consistency yet.You could try not taking the oats all the way down to powder or do half powder and half oat.That may also give them a bit more texture. Though i bet they are yummy the way they are..( :
