Cacao is one of the oldest foods in the world, in fact  4,000 years ago people like the Maya and the Aztecs used it. These populations mixed it with water, honey and spices, giving life to a strong drink that offered a lot of energy. When cacao arrived in Europe, foods like milk, sugar and butter were added.

Still today I would like to propose a simple recipe, inspired by the cacao drink that the Mayans took. In addition, to turn it into a complete snack my recipe carries egg whites.

It is a really delicious recipe, with an original spicy touch due to the chilli pepper.

I wait for your opinions 🙂

The prickly pear is a fruit of Mexican origin that arrived in Europe in the first ships that went to the West Indies. Grows in cactus called prickly pear cactus. Interestingly, the prickly pears have adapted so well to the climate of specific European regions that they have become an essential part of the landscape. In Andalusia and Sicily, they are even considered typical of the area. The prickly pears ripen in the middle of summer and can have different colors.

They are a fleshy fruit with a very original flavor. The recipe I propose today is easy to make, gluten-free and vegetarian and also inspired by the summers of my childhood; In the house on the beach we had several plants of prickly pears, and my grandmother and I used to eat. If you are also a plant attention because this fruit has thorns, it is better to buy them in a market.

Phase 3 Serves: 2/3 Prep Time: Cooking Time:

Ingredients

  • 3 cups of prickly pears
  • 3/4 cup of coconut flour
  • 3/8 cup of oat flour
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/8 cup of grated coconut
  • 3 tablespoons of coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup of oat milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 4 tablespoons of birch xylitol
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC).
  2. In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients: flours, grated coconut, xylitol, cloves, baking and tartar cream. Mix well.
  3. In another bowl mix the egg whites, the undone coconut oil and the oat milk. Beat well and combine the flour mixture. Mix until there is a stable compound.
  4. With oven gloves on, peel prickly pears and cut them into half slices. Prickly pears have many seeds, which are edible but very hard and cannot be bitten. They can be left and swallowed whole, but I prefer to remove them.
  5. Place the coconut compound in a silicone mold. It can be a single mold or more small molds.
  6. Place the half slices of prickly pears on the surface of the coconut compound.
  7. Bake for 35 minutes.

This recipe is compatible with the Fast Metabolism Diet – FMD Phase 3; With these quantities, you got 3 breakfasts for <20 pounds or 2 breakfasts for >20 pounds. For a complete breakfast, integrate with the remaining protein and phase veggies.

The gingerbread man is one of the most famous and recognizable symbols of Christmas. Although each country has its traditions, these cookies have become a Christmas icon.

It seems that the origin of gingerbread goes back to 992 when an Armenian monk brought this recipe to France. From there, these cookies spread throughout Europe; but they obtain their peculiar characteristic form just when Elizabeth I of England did not begin to give similar gingerbread cookies to her guests.

Today I propose my version of gingerbread men, super simple and without added fats, perfects for Phase 1.

They are a quick and original version; it is a cookie with a softer texture than the classic and flavored Christmas.

This recipe is part of my Christmas recipe e-book “Fast Metabolism Xmas,” will soon go on sale the 2nd Edition.

I hope you like this recipe; enjoy a healthier Christmas!

  6. Let the dough rest for a few minutes, place it between two sheets of baking parchment and stretch it with a rolling pin; the thickness that is between 1 and 1/2 centimeter.
  7. It is a mass a little difficult to work because it is a bit wet, better be quick so it does not stick too much.
  8. With a cookie mold cut all the cookies you want. If you do not have a cookie mold or if you’re going to go faster, you can avoid spreading the dough with the rolling pin: just make some balls and leave some marks with the fork.
  9. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake about 10 minutes. If they are more chubby cookies, you can leave 5 more minutes in the oven.

This recipe is suitable for the Fast Metabolism Diet – FMD Phase1. With these quantities, you get 6 grain servings for <20 pounds or 4 grain servings for >20 pounds.

 

Notes

*You can use another color sweet potato (for example yellow or orange) but you have to keep in mind that it will influence the color of the cookies.
