Mennonite Platz-Paleo Style





(AIP reintroduction eggs)
My school was having an event serving faspa and what's a faspa without platz?! So I adapted the platz (coffee cake with fruit) recipe:

Base:
  • 1 1/4 cup cassava flour
  • 1/4 cup arrowroot flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil, softened
  •  1 (room temperature) egg, beaten
  • 2/3 cups coconut milk mixed with
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla (optional)
Fruit layer: 

2 cups of your favourite fruit (rhubarb, berries, apples, peaches, etc.)


Streusel:
  • 1 cup cassava flour
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil, softened
  1. Grease and flour a 9x13 baking pan with 2" sides.
  2. Combine flours, honey, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl. 
  3. Add the softened coconut oil.
  4. Combine the milk and beaten egg and add it to the flour mixture. Make sure coconut milk and egg are room temperature because if they are too cold, the coconut oil will solidify.) Stir with a spatula until well combined. I do the final mixing with my hands. 
  5. Press into the pan. Bake for 10  minutes to prevent a soggy crust.
  6. Top with 2 cups of fruit or until the base is covered to make one layer of fruit, depending on what fruit you are using, about 2 cups of rhubarb were used in the original recipe. If using frozen fruit, allow to defrost in a strainer and drain the liquid as it defrosts)
  7. For the streusel mixture, combine the ingredients. Make crumbs by squeezing the mixture in your hands and drop onto fruit.
  8.  Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 25 to 30 minutes and your crumbs begin to get a light brown. Do not over bake because the base gets dry. If you like your crumbs to be darker than this, then put on the broiler for a short while but keep a very close eye on the top.
