Good morning lovely humans!
I’m currently eating a slice of this heavenly Paleo Plum + Apple Cake, as a I sip on my coffee and plan my day. It is really good. A little bit tart from the plums, with the sweetness of maple syrup.
I also just love cake for breakfast. It always feels super indulgent. Like who am I? A queen? (The answer yes, so bow down b*tches. Too far? I’ll scale back.) My friend asked me why I do so much paleo baking, when I bake. And it’s a really easy answer: it just tastes better. Gluten-free baking tends to be dry and often too sweet to counteract how, well, gross it is. I find paleo baking, especially with nut flours, creates desserts that often don’t taste gluten-free–and I’ve put this to the test!
The downside is obviously that there’s a lot of nuts. Not great if you have allergies. Also not great if you’re looking to lose weight. Don’t get me wrong, I think swapping out regular cake for paleo cake is a healthy choice because it’s lower in refined sugar, lower in carbohydrates, higher in protein and fat so it actually fills you up so you eat less. But if you’re already eating really healthy, and you’re wondering why your weight isn’t changing, it could be you’re eating too many nuts. This happened to me!
But I love this recipe that I got from Paleo Gluten Free Eats. I added apples, in addition to plums, because I had them lying around the house, so why not. I also reduced the cooking time to only 45 minutes–but as long as toothpick or cake tester is coming out clean, you’re golden!
