What Is The Paleo Diet?

The Paleo diet is the healthiest way you can eat because it is the ONLY nutritional approach that works with your genetics to help you stay lean, strong and energetic! Research in biology, biochemistry, Ophthalmology, Dermatology and many other disciplines indicate it is our modern diet, full of refined foods, trans fats and sugar, that is at the root of degenerative diseases such as obesity, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, depression and infertility. – Robb Wolf

Submitted by: Carol Beliveau

Servings: 8-10 slices

Ingredients: 5 farm-fresh eggs
1/2 C. coconut milk (full fat)
1 1/2 C. 100% pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling…)
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. pure vanilla
1/2 C. coconut flour, sifted with baking soda
1-2 TBSP raw or locally grown honey (optional)
1 TBSP cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp ginger powder
Your choice of chopped nuts – Walnuts are best…
Coconut oil or butter for greasing your loaf pan

Instructions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix all wet ingredients together in a large bowl. Sift in coconut flour, baking soda and spices. Blend together until completely combined and lump-free. Bake for in a greased loaf pan for 40 -45 minutes or until the bread if firm to touch. This recipe can be made into muffins, too.

  • “…it is the ONLY nutritional approach that works with your genetics” Whoa, easy on the strong statements Robb. Although Paleo is probably good for all of us, most of the benefits listed above have not been shown in a clinical trial.

  • I don’t like most paleo baked goods - they’re generally too eggy. This wasn’t bad. I added some bittersweet chocolate chips (which is not paleo) and used 1/4c coconut sugar instead of honey. It made 14 muffins for me. Here’s the nutritional break down per muffin.
