    Bacon fat for the WIN!

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    I had to share this somewhere. We have a wellness initiative going on at work. As a part of it, we had a healthy recipe cook-off today at work. There were four categories: no sugar, low fat, vegan/vegetarian and paleo. I entered my newly created Chocolate Chip Pecan cookies into the paleo category.

    They are grain-free, very low sugar (raw honey) and made with extra dark chocolate chips, pecans, butter and bacon fat. Not only did I win the paleo category, but everyone told me that my cookies were better than all the other entries even in the other categories!

    I told the guy next to me that was because I was the only one who used butter and bacon fat. How could I lose?

    Do we have to beg? Please, please give us the recipe! (I am a cookieholic, and I have not reached the recovery stage yet.)

    Bacon FTW!!

    I made a recipe similar to that once - it was a bacon/chocolate chip cookie recipe using almond flour. You candy the bacon first by baking it after drenching it in maple syrup. Seriously delicious. I made myself sick eating too many at once haha.

    As we all know from my bike lust post I have serious self-control issues when it comes to awesome things.

    I love bacon. I cook greens in the drippings, but I never thought of using bacon fat for baking.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    A friend of mine owns a bakery and made chocolate bacon coffee cupcakes last Fall. She included a bit of bacon drippings in the batter, plus bacon pieces. They were TO DIE FOR!

    I wish I did this. How do you keep the drippings prepared? I have never known what to do. We only cook bacon once every few months in my house but I cook greens every week. Can I store drippings or is that not safe?

    Keep the drippings in a jar in the fridge.

    And then get a big dollop out and use like any other cooking fat.

    Also good on eggs. That's what I'm having for breakfast.
