Flourless Chocolate Pumpkin Cookies

September 27, 2014December 14, 2014 Melissa King 95 Comments

Omg these flourless chocolate pumpkin cookies just might be my new favorite pumpkin recipe this season! I know I said that about my paleo pumpkin pie cupcakes and my pumpkin truffles, but these flourless chocolate pumpkin cookies are amazing too! I guess I just really love pumpkin recipes! Especially when they are healthy pumpkin recipes. The best part about this recipe? It only contains 6 simple ingredients!

Not only do these healthy pumpkin cookies contain no flour, but they also contain no refined sugar either. No mixer needed to make this super easy recipe. These pumpkin cookies are vegan, gluten free and paleo. If you need a nut free version, you can probably use sunflower butter or pumpkin butter.

Cake Batter Truffles

Yes! I have some Cake Batter Truffles for you! A little while back, I made some cake batter coconut butter. It was seriously amazing! If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend you do. Then you can use some of it for this truffle recipe. Who doesn’t like cake batter right? Especially when it is covered in chocolate. Chocolate makes everything better! These cake batter truffles did not last long in our house!

These truffles are super easy to make. They are vegan, gluten free and paleo. If you don’t want to make your own cake batter coconut butter, you can get a store bought version as well. The store bought version is double the price of my homemade cake batter coconut butter. If you like flavored coconut butter, you may also like this recipe. I used chocolate chips to make the chocolate coating, but you can also use my 3 ingredient chocolate recipe. If you choose to use the 3 ingredient chocolate, then you can omit the almond milk. Here is a short video on how to make the 3 ingredient chocolate

Chocolate Coconut Banana Bread (Vegan)

Chocolate Coconut Banana Bread. Who doesn’t like a nice slice of homemade banana bread? Just the smell of it baking makes my mouth water. I have several healthy banana bread recipes on my blog already, but I had never combined banana, chocolate and coconut together.

I finally combined those flavors making this chocolate banana bread. This healthy chocolate coconut banana bread is oil free and has very little added maple syrup.

I use 3 VERY ripe bananas which helped add a natural sweetness to this. Needless to say, ours was gone in just 2 days!

Using the extra rip bananas helped keep this bread nice and moist without the addition of oil. This super easy banana bread recipe is vegan and gluten free.

You could even make a double batch and freeze some. It freezes very well. I hope you enjoy it.

Super Rich Healthy Fudge

September 13, 2014December 14, 2014 Melissa King 52 Comments

I am all about sneaking vegetables into desserts when I can. That is exactly what I did with this Super Rich Healthy Fudge. This fudge tastes super rich and satisfying, but it contains a secret ingredient. It’s not beans or zucchini either! If you like desserts with hidden veggies, you may like this, this or this.

This super rich healthy fudge is vegan, gluten free, grain free and paleo. I can see this recipe being adapted to include other flavors or ingredients. I added some chocolate chips to the top of mine, but nuts or toasted coconut would be yummy too.

Cookie Butter Chocolate Cups

I am a big fan of chocolate cups. These cookie butter cups are my latest creation. I also have some pumpkin chocolate cups and some copycat Reese’s cups on the blog. I used my homemade cookie butter to fill these cookie butter chocolate cups, but you can also use the store bought cookie butter too. I used chocolate chips for the chocolate coating, but I am guess my 3 ingredient chocolate recipe could be used as well.

This yummy chocolate dessert is vegan, gluten free and paleo. It’s also very easy to make. I made mine in standard sized muffin cups, but I think making mini cups would be great too. Then you could use them as an ice cream topping. 🙂 The gingerbread-like flavors of the cookie butter go so well with the chocolate.

Healthy Flourless Chocolate Muffins

Oh wow! These healthy flourless chocolate muffins are seriously good! They are also super easy to make. All you need is 4 ingredients!

These chocolate muffins are very rich, and would probably be great for cupcakes as well. These healthy flourless chocolate muffins only take about 20 minutes from start to finish. No mixer required. We all need more chocolate muffins in our life right?

I used peanut butter in these chocolate muffins to add a rich texture. You could also use sunflower butter if you have a peanut allergy. If you want the rich texture, but not the strong flavor of the peanut butter, you can try using macadamia butter or cashew butter.

Macadamia butter works awesome in my fudgy flourless brownies, so I know it would be good in these as well. I also often use cashew butter as a base for my flourless cookie recipes. These healthy chocolate muffins are vegan, gluten free and grain free. I hope you enjoy them.
