Dessert

Black and white. Yin and yang. Sweet and salty. Two different flavors combine to make one incredible bite in these sweet and salty recipes! Cover photo credit: Uproot Kitchen.

You’d never guess, but these fudgy brownies also happen to be grain-free, dairy-free and Paleo. Surprisingly, this decadent sweet treat is made up of mostly all good-for-you wholesome ingredients. Almond flour/meal works so well to make a gluten-free super fudgy brownie with an incredible flavor.

Whole wheat flour. Almond flour. Coconut flour. With so many flours to choose from, figuring out which works best for your dietary preferences can be a process! Well, we think you should try them all. Today we’re focusing on cooking with coconut flour and its delicious benefits.

I come from a family of bakers. So, every year I am always sizing up the competition when it comes to seasonal desserts. Of course my aunt will make the best cupcakes. My grandma will be on her cookie A-game. And my cousin is always impressing the family with her latest Pinterest discovery. Then there’s me. I can’t possibly achieve the same greatness.

Make your own dessert. With no added sugars, these sweet treats feel like cheating, but are totally guilt-free. These sugar free desserts are sweet and satisfying, and you can enjoy them after your dinner or whenever the sweet tooth strikes. With 25 mouth-watering options, you can have a different dessert every night of the week- without overloading on sugar!

Savory foods I can pass by – but when it comes to dessert, I’m a lost cause. I can’t get enough of that sweet, sugary goodness. It’s not good for me, I know – but you can’t help who you love. And I love me some sweets. That’s why these single-serving desserts are my healthy-eating savior. Packed with protein and healthy goodness, these sweet treats are perfectly portioned to keep you on track. While you might promise yourself that you’ll only eat one cookie at a time, if you’re anything like me that promise gets forgotten real quick, and next thing you know you’re missing a dozen cookies (where did they go? Couldn’t have been me. Oh wait…)

I have discovered there are many ways to make over desserts you love and even found new sweet treats that are much healthier than those I used to devour. I hope that you will enjoy these as much as I do.

That’s right, in addition to being the month of candy and trick or treat— it’s also the month where we celebrate those little baked nuggets of goodness known as cookies. We’ve collected a recipe for each day of the month for you to enjoy. Few things make a home feel more welcoming than the smell of a fresh batch of cookies baking in the oven, so enjoy these recipes with your loved ones this month. You may even make some new friends in the neighborhood or the office. Cookies are great to share, and passing them around keeps us from eating the whole batch at once!

We’re almost two months into 2015 and many of us resolved to overhaul our diets and eat healthy this year. But as the weeks turn into months our resolve may be weakening; we’re ready to indulge.

You can make this with the frozen pineapple chunks you buy in a bag, already diced up for you – or you can use a fresh pineapple that you’ve sliced up yourself. Either way – the pineapple MUST be frozen when you make this recipe in order for it to be ‘ice cream’ consistency.

Love chocolate? And coffee? Enjoy both flavors in this easy, protein packed recipe.

There are two ways to enjoy our favorite skinny dessert – guilt free. Right after you make it – enjoy as a soft serve – OR – freeze for a couple hours and then scoop up as more traditional ice cream texture. Either way, you’re loving life.
