Raw cinnabon bites

Hiking the Boulder-Louie Lake Loop in the Payette National Forest.
Backpacking is one of my favorite late spring, summer and early fall activities. But in late fall, I prefer day hiking. You get to enjoy all the scenery, even snow on the ground, but avoid sleeping in a tent in frigid temperatures.

On a recent hiking/kayaking trip, I packed along raw cinnabon bites, free of grains, nuts/seeds, and in compliance with the paleo autoimmune protocol (AIP). I have reached day 16 of this 30-day elimination diet for individuals with autoimmune disease.
Cinnabon bites

Here's what you need:

2 T. coconut butter (organic and raw Artisana)
2 T. coconut oil
1/4 cup raw coconut flour
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup coconut flakes
1/8-1/4 cup coconut milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract, non-alcohol
vanilla stevia liquid, to taste
dash of sea salt
glaze: 1 T. coconut butter + 1 T. coconut oil

Here's what you do:

Soften 2 T. each coconut butter and oil. Place in a food processor, along with coconut flour, cinnamon, salt, vanilla extract, stevia and coconut milk. Pulse to mix into a sturdy dough. Shape into 6 balls. Place in the fridge to firm up.

Once the cinnabons are firm, dip them in a glaze, made from 1 T. each softened coconut oil and coconut butter. Return the cinnabon bites to the fridge until glaze firms up.
 
Eat the cinnabon bites as they are or use to garnish a pumpkin spice smoothie, as pictured below.

    Thank you for visiting my blog. Yes, I love them too! They are actually quite filling, probably because of the coconut flour. They are great when you want a little treat that contains healthy ingredients. They are definitely my favorite treat while on the paleo autoimmune protocol diet.

    Oh my gosh, these sound great! I'm such a fan of coconut butter, and love making my own at home. I made some coconut balls similar to this last year and haven't since. Thanks for reminding me how much I need them in my life! Love your blog!

    I just made these and they are sooo good! I actually used them with one of my favorite desserts - "baked" apple. I cored the apple, filled the center with raisins and some vanilla, then microwaved it till it was soft. When it was done, I drizzled the leftover glaze from these babies on it, cut it open into slices, then crumbled a few of these on top. SO good. And the glaze mixed with the juice from the apple; I know there is some sort of dessert begging to be made from apple juice and this glaze! Maybe a pie filling if you add some gelatin and apple slices? Anyway, DELICIOUS and thank you for your recipes SO much!!

    3 Researches SHOW How Coconut Oil Kills Belly Fat.

    The meaning of this is that you literally kill fat by consuming Coconut Fat (in addition to coconut milk, coconut cream and coconut oil).

    These 3 studies from large medicinal journals are sure to turn the traditional nutrition world around!
