I love making these brownies with my kids – minimal ingredients and no baking makes it easy, with almost-instant gratification. Of course the best part of the process is eating them :)

Rustic Cranberry Cake

by

It’s easy to be tempted by unhealthy desserts during the holiday season. Make this simple

cake and put it on your dessert table. By opting for frozen cranberries, you can make this

any time of the year. Recipe below…

TOTAL TIME: 1 HOUR 15 MINUTES

  • 1⁄2 cup gluten-free oat flour
  • 1⁄2 cup almond flour
  • 5 tablespoons coconut palm sugar, divided
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flour
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries (thawed and drained, if using frozen)
  • 1⁄2 cup chopped walnuts, divided
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1⁄2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1⁄4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1⁄4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly oil a 9″ pie plate.

In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, almond flour, 4 tablespoons of the sugar, coconut flour,

and salt. Stir in the cranberries and 1⁄4 cup of the walnuts. Toss to coat the berries and nuts

with the flour mixture.

 

In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Add the orange juice, oil, honey, and almond extract and

whisk until well mixed. Add to the dry ingredients and mix well. (The batter will be thick if

using frozen berries.) Spread the batter into the pie plate and sprinkle with the remaining

1⁄4 cup walnuts and 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a wooden pick

inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Serve warm or at room temperature.
