Featured Product

Our Grade A Very Dark Maple Syrup is sourced 100% from small family farms in southwestern Wisconsin. A variety of species of hardwood trees, including our maple trees, grow on the steep hillsides of the Ocooch Mountains that surround the beautiful Kickapoo River Valley. These natural forests in Wisconsin are a healthy mix of many species of trees, unlike huge commercial maple plantations that are often planted in former wheat fields. Great care is taken in harvesting the sap to make the Maple Syrup, ensuring that the health of the tree is not compromised. Our syrup comes from farms that practice sustainable agriculture and that are committed to the following:

No pesticides or chemicals were used to manage this forest. Our farmers do not use any chemical pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers to manage their forests. Our syrup is also tested for the presence of glyphosate, the most common herbicide in the US, as an added assurance.

A healthy forest. Our farmers limit the number of taps they use in their forests to help sustain the health of the trees. There are no standards in place to limit the number of taps they may have, but the farms have imposed limits on themselves because it is what is best for the trees in the long run.

Gluten-Free Maple Cinnamon Plantain Cookies

Servings: 32–35 cookies
Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 medium ripe plantain
• 1/4 cup Coconut Cream Concentrate
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (use powder if you are AIP)
• 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
• 2 heaping teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (use mace if you are AIP)
• 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut
• ground cinnamon to sprinkle on top

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Prepare 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Peel the plantain and process in it a food processor until smooth. Add all the other ingredients except the shredded coconut and process until smooth. Taste the batter to make sure it is sweet enough for you. Add the shredded coconut and just pulse until combined. Transfer the batter to a bowl.

Using a teaspoon, drop the batter onto the prepared cookie sheet leaving room to expand. Use all the cookie batter this way.

Place plastic wrap over the cookie sheets and flatten the cookies with a spatula (this helps them not stick).

Bake for about 18–20 minutes, or until the edges brown. Remove and let cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a rack to finish cooling.
