Ingredients in Marbled Paleo Chocolate Pumpkin Bread

This paleo pumpkin bread recipe requires just 10 ingredients and they are most likely in your cabinet already if you follow a grain free or gluten free diet:

  • semi-sweet chocolate chips (I use this dairy free, paleo version)
  • coconut flour
  • blanched almond flour
  • baking soda
  • pumpkin pie spice
  • pumpkin puree
  • maple syrup
  • ghee
  • eggs
  • vanilla extract

I just use canned pumpkin puree because it’s just easier, but you can use leftover cooked pumpkin if you have that on hand for an even better flavor! I’ve used fresh pumpkin for making grain free pumpkin bread before, and it really does make the bread more tasty and pumpkin-y.

Tips for Making Marbled Paleo Chocolate Pumpkin Bread

Here are some tips and substitutions to make this delicious and healthy gluten free pumpkin bread:

  • Make sure you are using pure pumpkin puree and NOT pumpkin pie mix. The latter is filled with sugar and other spices and flavorings.
  • If you don’t have ghee, you can substitute with coconut oil.
  • Use blanched almond flour and NOT almond meal. Almond meal will make the texture more dense.
  • I do not recommend you substitute the flours with anything else.
  • When folding in melted chocolate chips, make sure to fold with a rubber spatula just a few times so you can see the marbling in the final product.

I recommend you enjoy with a hot mug of coffee because it’s just the perfect combination with this chocolatey and decadent grain free pumpkin bread!

Paleo Zucchini Cornbread Without Corn (Nut Free)

This delicious and easy paleo zucchini cornbread recipe is made without grains or corn, but still has that cornbread flavor, and packed with healthy veggies!

Paleo Zucchini Cornbread Without Corn in a cast iron skillet

I really love cornbread. It’s one of those treats that I couldn’t get enough of since childhood and I recently had a huge craving for it. Now that too much corn can bother my digestion, I decided to create a corn-free, grain-free paleo cornbread recipe and I was surprised by how much it resembled real cornbread!

Paleo Zucchini Cornbread Recipe

This grain free coconut flour cornbread may not taste EXACTLY like real cornbread, but all the delicious elements are there. It is fluffy and soft in the inside while being crusty and crunchy on the outside, and the combination of coconut flour and honey gives it a wonderful subtle sweetness.

Adding zucchini makes this traditionally cold-weather side dish a summery feel, and it’s an amazing way to sneak in veggies without really being able to taste it much. Plus, it gives this zucchini cornbread recipe pretty green specks and I just love serving this as a BBQ dish side.

How to Make Paleo Zucchini Cornbread Recipe

Just like most baked bread recipes, this coconut flour cornbread so easy to make! You mix the dry ingredients together, and then the wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Once you combine the two together, all you have to do is fold in the grate zucchini at the end before pouring the batter into the prepared pan. Finally, you bake the whole thing for 40-45 minutes. That’s it! Trust me, this paleo cornbread recipe is definitely worth turning on the oven for even in the hot summer.

A Few Things to Note About Paleo Zucchini Cornbread Recipe

  • You don’t have to squeeze out the moisture from the grated zucchini. The water content is actually what gives this paleo cornbread recipe that fluffy, delicious texture that you taste in real cornbread!
  • The batter may seem a bit dry and thick, but that’s perfectly fine. As it bakes in the oven, the zucchini will release its moisture so the final product will definitely not be dry.
  • Make sure to give 30 minutes for the zucchini cornbread to cool before slicing, or it may fall apart.
  • I didn’t make this recipe too sweet, because everyone likes different levels of sweetness. Serve with honey on the side so anyone who like their cornbread a bit sweeter can drizzle some on top before eating.
  • You can’t really taste the flavor or texture of the zucchini, so this is a great way to sneak in healthy veggies for kids!
  • If you want to reheat leftovers, you can gently toast slices on the stovetop with a bit of oil, or you can place it in the oven or even the air fryer for a few minutes!

I personally love to eat these yummy zucchini cornbread slices toasted with a pat of butter. It feels like such a treat while being healthy, and it definitely fulfills my cornbread craving. I hope you enjoy this easy and delicious paleo cornbread recipe as a side for your warm weather BBQs!

Paleo & Keto Sheet Pan Pancakes

Cooking pancakes for a crowd has never been easier with these baked Paleo & Keto Sheet Pan Pancakes. They are fluffy and delicious, with only 5 grams of net carbs!

Paleo & Keto Sheet Pan Pancakes

Pancakes are one of the easier breakfast items to make. You mix together the pancake mix and just cook it up on the griddle. However, it CAN be a bit more work when you are trying to cook for bigger group, when you end up standing next to the stove making a batch after a batch of pancakes. It becomes time-consuming, and the first batches may get cold while trying to get everything on the table at the same time.

Paleo & Keto Sheet Pan Pancakes Recipe

Well, I found an easy solution for making a big batch of pancakes with the least amount of work: sheet pan pancakes! Instead of pan frying, you bake the pancake batter at one time in a sheet pan, and the result is a big batch of fluffy and soft pancakes done in no time.

I decided to make these pancakes low carb, because regular pancakes are too high in sugar for me and I don’t feel my best afterwards. With these keto sheet pan pancakes, I can enjoy my love for pancakes without a blood sugar crash afterwards, and you won’t even know that these are low carb from the taste and texture!

Not Keto? Make These Paleo!

I know many of my readers are just paleo, and they aren’t necessary trying to be keto. If that’s the case of you, you can just omit the stevia drops, and then sweeten the pancakes later by topping with regular maple syrup, OR you can add about 3-4 tbsp of maple syrup to the batter and reduce the coconut milk to 1 cup.

Jazz It Up With Add-ins and Toppings

This Paleo & Keto Sheet Pan Pancakes recipe makes plain, unflavored pancakes so you can dress it up how you like it. Once you transfer the batter to the sheet pan, you can add fruits, chocolate chips, or any other of your favorite add-ins. Blueberry pancakes are my favorite so I ended up using fresh blueberries, and they turned out delicious.

You can also be creative with your topping choices as well! I like to load up on them because I think toppings make all the difference. Here are some ideas:

  • fruits
  • nuts
  • spices like cinnamon
  • jam
  • nut butter
  • chocolate chips
  • coconut chips or shredded coconut
  • maple syrup (love this keto version)
  • sour cream
  • coconut whipped cream
  • yogurt
  • applesauce
  • and… what else? Tell me your favorite pancake topping in the comments below!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line an 18×13 baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix all ingredients (except optional add-ins) until a smooth and creamy batter forms. If the batter is too thick, add more coconut milk until it reaches the right consistency. The batter should be a bit thicker than traditional pancake batter.
  • Pour into the prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it out evenly.
  • Top with your favorite optional toppings, if using.
  • Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cut into 12 slices. A pizza cutter works well for this purpose.  
  • Enjoy with your favorite toppings! I love sour cream, coconut cream, fruits, nut butter, cinnamon, and/or keto maple syrup.

Notes

*You can replace stevia with 3-4 tablespoons of maple syrup, and reduce coconut milk to 1 cup if you are not on a low carb diet.
