Gluten Free Hamburger Buns

2/14/2019

This was my first time using coconut flour. It makes a nice hearty bun that can hold up to what ever you use to fill it. Tonight I filled mine with a Cooked Chicken Breast and Sharp Cheddar Cheese and it was delightful! The bun held up nicely and only started to crumble a little towards the last couple of bites.

INGREDIENTS
1 1/4 cup coconut flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. Kosher salt
6 eggs
1/2 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp. water

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Add coconut flour, baking powder, and kosher salt to a medium mixing bowl. Mix until combined.
Add the eggs, olive oil, and water to the dry ingredients.
Mix well and let sit for about 10 minutes, allowing the dry ingredients to soak up the wet ingredients.
Divide dough into 5-6 equal parts (5 for larger buns and 6 for smaller buns). Dough is very wet, but not sticky.
Quickly form bun shapes from the dough and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This is where you can add your toppings (optional). For these I used Trader Joe’s “Everything but the Bagel” seasoning.
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 325 degrees.
Using a knife, slice the buns in half horizontally.

Yields: 5-6 buns

Banana Oat Energy Balls

I have been trying to find a good snack that isn't just empty calories and that isn't overly sweet. These definitely "fit the bill". If you are looking for a sweet cookie-type ball, this is not it. This is naturally sweet and filling. At only 96 calories for each ball, 2 of these equal a small bag of chips - but these are way healthier for you and will sustain you through your weak moments. :)

INGREDIENTS
3 ripe bananas
3 cups rolled oats (not quick cooking oats)
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup milled flax seed
1 tablespoon honey

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350* with rack in the middle.
Combine ingredients in medium size bowl, mix until thoroughly incorporated.
Scoop 1 heaping full tablespoon of mixture and roll into ball, place on oiled cookie sheet 1" in apart. If mixture is too sticky, place bowl in fridge for 30 minutes to chill before rolling into balls.
Bake for 15 mins. Cool on cookie sheet for 10 mins.
Makes 24 Servings
