1/4 C. lightly crushed plain pork rinds.
10-15 drops of Stevia, or sweetener of your choice.

take off heat and stir in sweetener and coffee extract.
Here is the hard part. put in refrigerator for about 10 mins. make sure it's cool to the touch, or your pork rinds will absorb the fat not giving you a crunch.

Wheat Free Bliss Faux Apples

Hands down, the best!!! I fool all my non-Wheat Belly family with this recipe! From this recipe I have made Faux applesauce, fried apple turnovers, apple pie, apple crumble, apple coffee cake. I have several batches in the freezer for when I get the urge. It's great to use all the organic zucchini that I've been blessed with this year.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

 Wheat Free Bliss Faux Apples

2 tablespoons ghee or unsalted butter
3 tablespoons bacon drippings
1 cup peeled zucchini, seeds removed and cut into coins and then crescent
sweetener to taste (I use stevia about 14 drops)
1/4 teaspoon maple extract (make sure to check ingredient list for hidden wheat/sugar)
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract (make sure to check ingredient list for hidden wheat/sugar)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Pinch of Himalayan pink salt
Pinch of chipotle pepper (to taste)
1 1/2 teaspoon raw apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon apple extract, if you don't have use extra raw apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Melt the butter into the bacon drippings.

Add the zucchini and saute until it is crisp tender, and a little browned. This helps keep the "apple" crunch.

Add the remaining ingredients and simmer until liquid is reduced and nearly gone.

Stir very often.

Taste and adjust sweetness/seasoning.

Super Simple Wheat Free Bliss Bread

 Super Simple Wheat Free Bliss Bread

1 ½ cup + 2 tablespoons Almond Flour
 4 Tbsp. real butter (make sure it's cool) 
3 tsp. plus 2 tsp divided, baking powder 
2 tsp. Xanthan Gum (heaping, not level) 
1/4 tsp. sea salt (omit if using salted butter)
 4 whole eggs
3 tsp. apple cider vinegar 
Preheat oven to 400.

 Spray small loaf pan w/ nonstick or grease very well. Combine the almond flour, (salt), baking powder, xanthan gum. Mix reallllly well or the xanthan gum will gel in the last process. 
 Using a fork (or I used my food processor), cut butter into the almond flour mixture.
 Put in the refrigerator for 15 mins, the longer the better. 
 In a separate bowl, mix the eggs together. You want them fluffy, with foam on top. 
Add the other part of 2 tsp. baking powder add the vinegar and incorporate (it should fizz). Add the whisked eggs to the almond flour mixture. 
Mix well (but lightly). Pour mixture into the greased pan well. 
 Bake at 400 degree oven for 18-25 minutes. It will get golden brown on top. Touch it if its firm, it’s done.

I make my own baking powder. Works great in LCHF "bread".
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
Mix the baking soda and cream of tartar together until well combined. Use immediately.
