Tigernut Flour Cast Iron Cookie Pie (Paleo, AIP-friendly, Nut Free, Egg Free, Coconut Free)

February 14, 2017

IMG_1391

I’ve been waiting to post this recipe for some time now.  Mainly because with New Years, comes New Years resolutions, many of which are to avoid sweet treats and sugar.  That being said, I believe Valentines Day is the perfect excuse to share a decadent dessert recipe.  I played around with the idea of a “cookie pie” for quite awhile.  At first, I started with a regular Paleo version made with almond flour, twerking it to perfection.  Then I decided to try and omit the eggs and nuts and make an autoimmune friendly variation (using carob chips of course).  The end results between the two are slightly different, the egg version being lighter and fluffier, while this cookie pie is chewy and fudge-y, just the way I like it.  You can decorate this cookie pie any which way you like.  I chose to swirl melted chocolate on the top and garnish with strawberry slices.  My vanilla icing and a few fresh raspberries would be equally delicious and festive.  On another note, if you are without a cast-iron, no fear, this recipe bakes up just as tasty in a 8×8 inch brownie pan. That being said, if you are going to use your cast iron, I recommend it be one dedicated specifically to baked goods, as any savory cooking you may have previously used the pan for may leech unwanted flavors into your baked good.

Happy Valentines Day!

    I printed out the recipe and it is different from the one I see now, like no water with the gelatin and the shortening melted. I made the cake and it did not turn out. way to dry and crumbly

      Elke,

      It should be as printed on the recipe, I am not sure how that occurred on the print version.

    Hello,
    My name is La Tonya 54 years old and I have had issue with my gut my whole life? I went to a natural doctor this week because I just could no longer take the heart palpitations and thinking I was crazy this whole time.
    I was diagnosed with thyroid disease, celeacis disease ,leaky gut ADHD to have everything at once I confess was a bit overwhelming. And yet God in His timing allowed this in my life which allowed me to count on Him for everything. So thankful and feel relieved to have some answers. Almost everything gives my heart palpitations. So I have been juicing cucumber celery kale lemon green apple ginger for breakfast lunch and dinner I have been able to eat a mixed green with a bit of olive oil squeeze of lemon avocado 3oz of organic lamb or salmon wild caught.
    reaching out for prayers .
    I enjoy your IG much more grace
