Recipe of the Week: No Sugar Crash Peppermint Patties

By Ritamarie Loscalzo

low glycemic peppermint patties recipes

Reaching for the candy in the afternoon to bring up your energy will leave you more tired and craving for another sugar kick. It’s a vicious cycle.

These peppermint patties break all the candy rules! They are low-glycemic, raw, and quick and easy to make, as well as bursting with flavor and blood-sugar-balancing nutrients.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Artisana coconut butter
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 10 drops peppermint essential oil
  • 10 drops stevia or 1/8 tsp green powdered stevia (or to taste. My husband wanted them to be a little sweeter. I liked them as is)
  • 1 cup cacao paste melted in the dehydrator (you can substitute cacao powder with cacao or coconut butter)
  • 1/8 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 10 drops chocolate or other flavored stevia, or erythritol, inulin, or other low-glycemic sweetener

Directions:

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, mix the coconut butter, coconut oil, peppermint oil, and stevia. Adjust to your desired sweetness, as well as the strength of the peppermint flavor.
  2. Put in a silicon mold of your desired shape and allow to harden in the freezer (about 15 minutes). If you don’t have molds, pour into a parchment-lined baking dish and cut to desired shapes when partially hardened (they will tend to be irregular in shape)
  3. Combine the melted cacao, coconut oil, and sweetener in a medium-sized bowl.  Once the coconut mixture you put in the freezer is hardened, remove from the freezer and dip into the chocolate mixture.
  4. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and place back into the freezer until hardened. Store in a glass container in the refrigerator.

These are sure to delight your family, as well as satisfy your sweet tooth!
