Heck. Yes. Clear your schedule and anything you thought you were going to bake for the holidays, because this cookbook is about toΒ blow your mind while you salivate over every. single. recipe. and say wait, thatβs paleo/I can eat that?? about 100 times.
Enter Every Last Crumb: Paleo Bread and BeyondΒ by Brittany Angell.
Best sandwich bread. Chocolate croissants. Lemon poppy seed bread. Cinnamon sugar pretzel bites. PMS Brownies.Β Yeah, you read that right.Β Breads, biscuits and scones. Pizzas, Calzones, Tacos, Quesadillas, Soft pretzels, & more. Oh and donβt you forget the desserts or comfort foods. These are all the CHAPTER titles, people. And for those who struggle with paleo baking with all different kinds of flours, Brittany has included a primer on all of that. She also has some classic baking techniques and tutorials before you jump on in!
Forgive the (awful) pun but Brittany is serious an angel with this cookbook . How she managed to come up with paleo versions of all bread and dessert-like things in her book blows my mind. AND, like me, she has suffered from many food allergies and autoimmune conditions herself, so tons of the recipes in here are allergen-free (egg-, dairy-, nut-, yeast-, coconut-free), whatever you need. #fistpump. Did I mention there’s a recipe called PMS Brownies that includes homemade caramel, chocolate ganache, extra chocolate chips, and sunbutter cups (think reese’s without all the chemicals) on TOP of ridiculously fudgy brownies?! Sweet tooth explosion.
Iβve been following Brittanyβs delicious creations on her website for a while and couldβt WAIT when i heard she was releasing a cookbook ! So of course, the first thing I did when I received the book before Thanksgiving was decide what I would be testing out on my family immediately. It was really a toss-up between the parker house dinner rolls and honey cornbread muffins…and then i remembered how much I miss the Whole Foods cornbread for thanksgiving. That stuff is like crack. I know i say that a lot. But corn (and pretty much all the other ingredients in any cornbread) does NOT sit well with my stomach/rest of my body. So you can imagine how pumped I was to see and make that recipe!! Letβs just say they were so good my entire family devoured them before I could snap a pic. Even the skeptics (βcornbread without corn?!?β) went back for seconds. And thirds.
Well, what are you waiting for?! Donβt you want to impress your friends/family/other random people who youβll probably never see again at holiday parties this season with your newfound baking skills? Preorder your copy ofΒ Every Last Crumb: Paleo Bread and Beyond! Ryan agrees….you’ll totally be ready for the Paleo potluck armed with Brittany’s new cookbook.
It comes out December 9th. Perfect timing for you to get a TON of holiday baking in before Christmas, or whatever it is you celebrate. And while youβre waiting for it (or if you donβt believe meβ¦), go check out the other recipes on her site.
Donβt mind me, Iβll just be here salivating over this recipe because all the muffins I made are long gone. Pure gold. You know you want to…
- 120 grams Spectrum vegetable shortening (about ΒΎ cup)
- 210 grams raw honey (about Β½ cup plus 2 tablespoons)
- 120 grams milk (dairy or nondairy) (about Β½ cup plus 2 teaspoons)
- 3 large eggs
- 126 grams coconut flour (about ΒΎ cup)
- 88 grams potato starch or sweet potato starch (about Β½ cup)
- 66 grams tapioca starch (about Β½ cup)
- 1 tablespoon double-acting, aluminum-free baking powder
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum or guar gum (either can be used interchangeably)
- ΒΎ teaspoon kosher salt
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 8 to 10 cups of a muffin pan with cupcake liners.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, using the whisk attachment, mix together the shortening, honey, milk, and eggs until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the coconut flour, starches, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt until blended.
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture to the egg mixture
- until all of it has been incorporated. Turn the mixer to medium-high speed and continue to mix until the batter is thoroughly blended.
- Spoon the batter into the lined cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 19 to 21 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Store in a sealed bag or container at room temperature, or freeze for later use.

That sounds perfect to me!! And I totally agree π I picked this recipe from the book because it didn’t use almond flour (and it sounded delicious, obviously).
I want this book SO BAD!! All the recipes look AMAZING & I’m always looking for new ways to make paleo baked goods!!! Picking a favorite holiday dessert is an impossible feat but my sister makes a paleo carrot soufflΓ© that is to die for!! (Don’t be fooled by the carrot it’s definitely sweet!!!)
(My Instagram handle is @kerrykeating, btw!)
I feel you there Kerry!! Honestly…I don’t know what my favorite holiday dessert is! We make a ridiculously decadent paleo carrot soufflΓ© for thanksgiving. I ate the leftovers nearly every day for breakfast/lunch/dinner this past week…not sorry haha.
Omg don’t be sorry I would have had leftovers only I went back for second (& third) helpings & we finished the whole thing.. Totally worth it
My favorite holiday dessert is Russian tea cakes!
Those sound great! I’ve never had them before!
I would really REALLY love to win this book! I love eating healthy and cooking. I’m just not good at making my own recipes!
It gets so much easier with practice! I can recommend a couple other great cookbooks for easy, healthy recipes if you like too! (besides the recipes on my site hehe) π
I’ve been wanting to try out paleo tortilla recipes. Pastry student gone paleo.
Wow, Katie! That’s impressive. I always thought about going to culinary school but with all my food allergies/intolerances I don’t think I’d be able to π The tortillas look amazing though!
Pumpkin pie or flourless chocolate cake!!
Um, hello YES!!
Favorite holiday dessert…gingerbread anything, sugar cookies, molasses snicker doodles…can’t pick just one!
Yum!! Love those too!!
Apple Pie! Can’t wait to get my hands on this cookbook, the brownies sound amazing.

My favorite holiday dessert is the pumkin rolls!
Those sound great!
Hi I love your site!! My favorite holiday dessert recipe is sadly not paleo/primal at all, but it’s oreo truffles! Basically a package of Oreos, 1 package of cream cheese into a food processor, made into balls and chilled, and then dipped in chocolate and decorated π
Thank you Allison!! And hahah no judgement here. Whatever makes you feel great, you go ahead and eat it π Those sound amazingly decadent!
My favorite holiday dessert are raspberry ripples that my mom made when I was little and now I’m currently trying to convert it to a grain free recipe!!
Ooooh wow, those sound great!! Anything made by mom in childhood always seems like the best. What are they??
Thanks for the great give away! My favorite holiday dessert is flourlesss chocolate torte topped with ice cream or whipped coconut cream =)
No problem! And woah, that sounds amazing!!
Any kind of pie is my fav. Since giving up sugar & grains I haven’t had any pie so am excited to see what Brittany has got up her sleeves.
Not to worry Lisa, Brittany has a ton for everyone π
My favorite holiday desert is paleo pecan pie! With the pie crust recipe from Brittany Angell’s website! (Available in the clubAngell only, I would definitely suggest becoming a member for some very yummy recipes)
Could you believe me if I said I’d never even had pecan pie before?? I am a clubAngell member so I’ll definitely have to check that out! Thanks π
This one is really good! Ive missed pie since going paleo http://allergyfreemenuplanners.com/2012/11/12/egg-free-and-nut-free-pumpkin-pie-gaps-and-paleo/

I love anything pepperminty. My latest fav is chocolate pudding cookies with candy cane pieces.
My favorite holiday dessert is Scandinavian almond bars! I’m currently trying to figure out how to make them paleo. π
Those sound great! Let me know if you do figure it out, would love to know! π
Wow…Don’t think I could settle with just one favorite!! Looove carrot cake, any chewy oatmeal anything (cookies, bars, etc) with nuts and fruits, creme brulee and tiramisu and mandarin/orange cake, oh yes! Funny, I can’t even recall the last time I had most of these!! But yes, they are my faves π
Great list! I also LOVE carrot cake, and used to love chewy oatmeal cookies (I have the best recipe!!) until oats started hurting my stomach and whole body every time I ate them. And yum tiramisu too!!
