Apricot Hunks of Biscuit Delight

Low Carb Option:
3 no sulfur organic apricots, chopped
dash sea salt
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t. non-aluminum baking powder
1/2 t. xantham gum
1 T. organic apple cider vinegar
1/4 c. organic coconut flour
cinnamon
1/4 c. organic raw frozen cranberries
1 T. organic unsweetened applesauce
1 T. organic unsweetened apricot jam
~ 1/2 c. water (add more if too dry)

Combine all of the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Use kitchen shears to chop the apricots into about quarters. Add the apricots, whole cranberries, and cinnamon to the dry ingredients. Add the applesauce and stir. Add the water and mix well. If the coconut flour absorbs too much of the liquid and the batter is very thick, add a few tablespoons of water, one T. at a time, until the batter is thinner. Coconut flour's high fiber will continue to soak up the liquid, so on yoceu've settled on a "good" batter consistency, you should bake as soon as possible.

Coat either your baking loaf pan or muffin tins with nonstick spray and spoon the batter into them. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until the biscuit tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Makes 9 luscious small low carb biscuits.
