Coconut Brown Butter Cookies? Are you serious??? I’m a huge fan of anything coconut and truly, adding brown butter just takes these over the top!
I found the original recipe for these cookies on one of my favorite food blogs, The Smitten Kitchen, and I was entranced by the possibilities! She totally had me at toasty coconut and brown butter! One of my goals with this blog is to try to find ways to make recipes a bit healthier when I can so, I began experimenting with some different gluten free options like almond flour and my all time favorite sweetener, coconut sugar.
To say they worked well is an understatement–they worked fantastically well! The cookies come out much darker than the original version (because of the coconut sugar, which is dark) but tender, crunchy, deeply coconut-y with the the warmth of the brown butter in every crispy bite!

Gluten-Free Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes
These Gluten-Free Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes are just the perfect marriage of fresh strawberries, homemade whipped cream and delicious, lightly coconut flavored gluten free cake. You don’t even notice that they’re gluten free but they are and they. are. addicting! I use organic coconut flour, raw honey, coconut oil and organic flaked coconut. These are so simple and, when you cut one in half, the strawberry in the center makes it look just like a little adorable strawberry shortcake! You can also make this into a lovely layer cake with sliced strawberries between the layers and decorating the whipped cream on the top. It’s a wonderful cake for a baby or wedding shower

It’s easy to make and very forgiving but it’s not for wimps. It will make you forget all those airy, light and boring carrot cakes you’ve ever had to suffer through. You don’t just eat this carrot cake…you chow down.
