I currently use Green and Blacks 72%. Its a little carbier, but doesn't upset my system. I think they make a higher percentage, but I can't find it anywhere.

Ooh, okay. Good to know! I will use the G&B 85% then. It tastes just as good if not better than the Lindt 85%.

Please do! The orange cake sounds delicious. What kind of dried fruits do you use? I was thinking nuts might be good instead of fruits as well. When I'm carbing up, I will have to try it. Oranges are candy-sweet to me now.

Thanks for the interesting posts on Agave nectar Kallyn and lcstudent. I wonder where I got the idea that it was closer to honey. I guess I'll go back to gently warming my honey enough to blend properly!

My raw unfiltered honey tends to crystalize at the speed I'm not using it at. Its hard to use that way, but I don't want to heat it enough to damage the enzymes...

A bunch of us GF folks emailed Lindt and they basically told us their stuff isn't gluten free. I was pissed because the stuff I had been eating had no gluten ingredients on the label, so they're either wrong and it is gluten free or else they're lying on their labels.

Not much difference.

Interesting that you found a flourless recipe from one of the masters of lowfat, high carb cuisine, though.

3 lemons have 16g net carbs, while 2 medium oranges have 24g net carbs. Not a huge difference, but I like to spend my carbs on nut butters.

P.S. Your souffle is great with sunflower seed butter in place of chocolate, Nancy! Tasted close enough to peanut butter for me.

Melt coconut oil and coat mixture with flavorings and oil. Toast in oven at 325 degrees for 15-30 minutes, or until brown and crispy.

For chocolate granola, grind up 1/4-1/2c cacao nibs and mix in, omitting the ground flax meal. Vanilla extract complements it nicely.

For cinnamon granola, add in 2T ground cinnamon. Maple extract is great with the cinnamon.

This stuff is ADDICTIVE. Amazing with coconut milk for a breakfast cereal. I use erythritol and Nustevia to sweeten.

I wonder how this would work without the flax meal. I avoid flax because it's a phytoestrogen.

Interesting. I try to eat it because of all the good stuff in it (lignans, ALA, etc.). Maybe it's helping me get waxed less frequently!

It would be just as tasty. The flax/sesame blend just forms a sort of coating on the granola.

This is probably a really stupid question, but do you cook the squash cubes beforehand? I was thinking of this as I hacked into the squash. Can't wait to finish this recipe!

OH man it's been a long time since I've made these. I think I use the squash raw. It might be good to puree the squash separately and squeeze some of the liquid out, too. They were very very moist IIRC.

Was the recipe not worth repeating or something? :O

Thanks for the advice! I think I will nuke the cubes until tender and squeeze the heck out of them between paper towels.

I would think that you'd need to cook the squash first. It'd be really hard to incorporate into a batter if it was raw!

Well you do the whole thing in the food processor, so everything gets pureed.

lcstudent, the recipe was tasty! It's just that my husband is not a fan of nut meal muffins in general so I have mostly stopped making them. I would make a batch and then have to eat them all myself, which just got to be too much.

They were great! I added a bit of golden flax and xanthan gum, along with some vanilla and orange zest. Tasted like a big hunk of gingerbread. Very filling, too. They'll be my pre-workout fuel.

Paleo bakers are amazing. Seriously, who else could think up this stuff?
