Health Highlights

Ingredients

2/3 cup	Cassava flour
1/3 cup	Tapioca starch (or arrowroot starch)
1/2 cup	Coconut oil (or ghee if tolerated)
1/4 cup	Maple syrup (or honey)
1/4 tsp	Salt
1 tsp	Cinnamon (optional)
1 tbsp	Gelatin dry powder, unsweetened (grassfed; (sub agar-agar or omit for vegan))

Mix all the ingredients together with a fork/pastry blender until they reach a large crumble consistency; add the gelatin last (do NOT bloom it).
Press into a loaf pan or an 8x8 round pan.

Go ahead and put these out for Santa, but be aware that he will likely eat them all and leave none for you.
