The Terrible Purple Loaf. EEEeek!

This was another attempt at gluten-free crepes using coconut flour. Since we discovered that coconut flour has a unique sticky texture and expands to extreme levels, we decided to tone it down by mixing it with amaranth flour.  Amaranth is a gluten-free grain with a big hearty earthy flavour.  Sounds great right?  You'd think so, wouldn't you?  Well stop thinking that.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 cup amaranth flour
• 2tsp baking powder
• pinchy pinch salt
• 1 cup water or almond milk
• we may have mashed a banana into the terrible loaf...uncertain...
• 1 egg beaten
• 2tsp honey
• 1 apple (chunked) and 1/2 cup blubes (frozen or fresh)
• 2tsp coconut oil (!)

Procedure:

• cook apples and blubes in your favourite little pot until they get jammy
• combine and sift all dry ingredients, add wet ingredients including the blube/apple jam. 
• mash together
• put in oiled loaf pan
• bake at 350 for 45 minutes
• cool for 15 minutes
• feed to the cat

The loaf has a floofy, and unpleasantly squishy texture on account of the coconut flour and jam, and a dark nasty flavour on account of the amaranth flour. It really wasn't delicious at all. However, the cat loved this loaf. He pounced on it when it was placed on the counter top. When the loaf was moved to the fridge, he jumped in every time the door was opened. What a guy!
