Quick Energy Balls

DAIRY-FREE, PALEO, and most importantly ANTI-INFLAMMATORY. Another Eat Burn Sleep recipe that delights the tastebuds and heals the body.

These energy balls are so good, so easy to make and are packed with goodness.

Walnuts are great for brain function, full of protein and good fats.

Dates are a natural anti-fungal, so they help fight bad bacteria in the gut.

Raw cacao is full of antioxidants, iron, and magnesium and turmeric has powerful anti-inflammatory properties.

These are delicious as a snack at any time of the day. Pre or post-workout.

With a cup of tea or coffee. At home or on the go.

Enjoy!

Flax Paleo Bread

This is another chronic inflammation-reducing bread recipe and a nice variation on our basic paleo bread.

Yalda wanted to come up with a paleo bread recipe richer in fiber and lighter in texture, and she came up with this flax paleo bread recipe.

The flaxseeds add fiber and omega-3s, making the bread less dense and good for your gut.

Flaxseeds are a great source of plant-based omega-3s and are very anti-inflammatory. This bread is not only not inflammatory like traditional bread, but it is ANTI-inflammatory thanks to the presence of Omega 3s.

Like all of the recipes, it is very easy and quick to make. It is also DAIRY-FREE, KETO, and GLUTEN-FREE.

 

Ingredients

  • 2 cups or 200g of ground almonds
  • 1/4 cup or 50g of milled flaxseeds
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 a tsp of bicarbonate of soda
  • 1/2 a tsp of sea salt
  • 1 tbsp of arrowroot powder
  • 1/2 a tsp of apple cider vinegar

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven at 300 F / 150 C (fan oven).

  2. Whisk the eggs, salt, and apple cider vinegar in a food processor or a bowl.

  3. Add all the remaining dry ingredients – almond flour, bicarbonate of soda, arrowroot powder, and flaxseeds- and mix until well combined.

  4. Scoop the mixture into a greased bread loaf pan lined with baking paper. Sprinkle some extra flaxseeds on top if you like.

  5. Bake at 300 F / 150 C for 50 minutes. The cooking time can vary depending on the oven. To make sure it is cooked through, insert a toothpick, and see if it comes out clean. If not, it needs cooking longer.

  6. Your delicious paleo flax bread is ready! It is perfect for breakfast or any meal. Even my kids like it, so do enjoy it with your whole family!

  7. *if you are allergic to nuts or prefer not to use almond flour (ground almonds) for any other reason, you can replace it with quinoa flour- 200g or 2 cups of almond flour can be replaced with 120g or 2 cups of quinoa flour.

Storage Tips

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the individual servings. Place them on a baking sheet, then when fully frozen, remove and place them in the container/bag for up to 3 months.

Paleo Vanilla Sponge Cake

Yalda’s boys made this Vanilla Paleo Sponge Cake for her birthday one year, and they all had it for breakfast!

It turns out absolutely delicious and has a bouncy and perfect spring-like consistency, which can be hard to achieve with ground almonds!

The trick is to whisk the eggs with an electric whisk and then carry on whisking the eggs with the coconut sugar.

Decorated with chopped nuts gives it that little crunch on top that is the ideal “healthy” sprinkle!

When her eldest first made it, he said, “Mum, these are your 100s and 1000s!” (British name for sprinkles).

A beautiful cake for any occasion (even breakfast!).

Ingredients

  • 2 cups or 200g of ground almonds
  • 4 eggs
  • 2/3 cup or 120g coconut sugar
  • 1/3 cup or 80g of melted coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp of vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp of arrowroot powder
  • 1 tsp of bicarbonate of soda
  • Chopped mixed nuts to decorate

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F / 175 C (fan oven).

  2. Whisk the eggs with an electric mixer for 3 minutes.

  3. Add the coconut sugar and whisk until the mixture turns a paler color.

  4. Mix in the ground almonds, vanilla extract, arrowroot powder, and bicarbonate of soda.

  5. Finally, add in the melted (and cooled down) coconut oil, and mix.

  6. Pour in a greased cake loaf tin lined with baking paper. Decorate with chopped nuts (any work). Bake for 35 minutes.

  7. You can also make muffins instead. Pour the mixture in a greased and lined muffin tray. Decorate with the chopped nuts and bake at 350 F / 175 C (fan oven) for 25 minutes. The cooking time can vary depending on the oven. To make sure it is cooked through, insert a toothpick, and see if it comes out clean. If not, it needs cooking longer. Enjoy!

  8. *if you are allergic to nuts or prefer not to use almond flour (ground almonds) for any other reason, you can replace it with quinoa flour. 50g or 1/2 cup of almond flour can be replaced with 30g or 1/2 cup of quinoa flour.

Storage Tips

Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

You can also freeze the individual servings. Place them on a baking sheet, then when fully frozen, remove and place them in the container/bag for up to 3 months.
