White Chocolate Banana Cookies

March 1, 2016April 7, 2016 Melissa King 10 Comments

We are about to head to Disney World for vacation, and I am trying to use up what I have on hand. That’s how these White Chocolate Banana Cookies came about. I had some leftover vegan white chocolate chips from my White Chocolate Raspberry Squares, so I thought this was a perfect way to use them up. After all, white chocolate and banana go so well together! If you can’t find vegan white chocolate chips, you can most definitely use regular chocolate chips instead. Macadamia nuts may also by another yummy option. The best part about this recipe is it has just 4 simple ingredients!

These cookies are vegan, gluten free and healthy enough for breakfast! The optional add ins are endless. I think some shredded coconut would be delish in here personally. Then again, I love all things coconut.

Are you starting to think about foods for Valentine’s Day? You can add these Dark Chocolate Raspberry Truffles to the list. I also have some Strawberry Creme Truffles and some Gluten Free Red Velvet Donuts you can try. These yummy truffles only contain 6 ingredients and they are delish!

I added some salt to the tops of mine, but that is totally an optional ingredient. Not needed, but nice if you like that sweet/salty combo. These truffles pack a punch of chocolaty flavor. There is chocolate in the inside, and outside. My chocolate loving husband gave these a thumbs up. I hope you enjoy them too.

Toasted Coconut Vanilla Smoothie

I share a lot of smoothie recipes on this site. However, I have never shared a healthy dessert smoothie. That is until now. Today I am sharing this delish and decadent Toasted Coconut Vanilla Smoothie. Toasted coconut automatically makes everything better in my opinion! This indulgent smoothie recipe makes the perfect sweet treat. If you also like toasted coconut, you may also want to try my flourless toasted coconut cookies.

This recipe makes 2 servings, so you can half it for a single serving. This dessert smoothie is vegan, gluten free and paleo friendly. It also contains zero processed sugar. I used dates to sweeten this. The toasted coconut and banana also adds a nice sweet flavor.

Chocolate Pistachio Mousse. Let’s face it. Sometimes you need a little chocolate. That is where this Healthy Chocolate Mousse Recipe comes in.

It’s rich, creamy and satisfying. It only takes a little to satisfy you. You can whip it up in minutes too. If you love chocolate, you should also try my homemade chocolate bars or my chocolate flourless muffins.

This healthier mousse recipe contains zero refined sugar and takes minutes to make. It’s also vegan, dairy free and gluten free.

If you wanted to use another nut, I think you could. I could see hazelnuts being a nice addition too.

Chocolate Coffee Cookies (Grain Free)

Chocolate Coffee Cookies. The other day I made some Grain Free Sugar Cookies. I was so pleased with the way they came out, that I decided to make a chocolate version. Since chocolate and coffee go so well together, I made this new recipe. Coffee cookies.

I knew it was going to be a winner, when I couldn’t stop eating the batter! That is one thing I love about vegan cookies. The dough is completely safe to eat! 🙂

This easy cookie recipe is perfect. Chewy on the outside and soft in the middle. You have got to try them!

Squash Apple Soup (Vegan, Gluten Free)

Out of all the fall produce, squash is my most favorite. Probably why I have so many squash recipes on the blog. This Squash Apple Soup is sure to please. I used kabocha squash in my recipe. In my opinion, it’s the sweetest and most buttery squash out there. Try this recipe that calls for it too.

Squash Apple Soup

This squash apple soup is perfect for a plant based Thanksgiving. Also perfect for those cold winter days. We don’t have too many of those here in Texas, but it’s nice to have when we do.

I used a honey crisp apple for mine, but you can use any apple you like. This healthy soup recipe is vegan, gluten free and paleo. I topped mine with some pepitas, but that is totally optional.
