Paleo Cookie Dough Truffles

February 20, 2015 Melissa King 23 Comments

I made you guys some Paleo Cookie Dough Truffles! Since we are about to start a kitchen renovation, we are trying to eat mostly from what we have in the pantry. I happened to have some macadamia nuts, so I made macadamia nut butter. It’s super easy and can be made in under 5 minutes. I then wanted to create a recipe that used it so that is how these Paleo Cookie Dough Truffles came out. You all know how I love healthy truffle recipes! 🙂 This recipe is so easy and only calls for 6 ingredients! I love the little flecks of vanilla bean in these! It also adds great flavor. If you like this, then you may also like my strawberry creme truffles or my pumpkin truffles.

Not only are these paleo cookie dough truffles easy, they are also gluten free and vegan. Keep them in the fridge or freezer when you want a little something sweet. This recipe makes a small batch too. Feel free to double it if you like.

Chocolate Raspberry Tart for Two. Valentine’s Day is only a few days away. If you are looking for a romantic dessert this chocolate raspberry vegan tart for two is for you!

It’s super easy to make, very rich and decadent, and the chocolate and raspberry flavors pair so well together. If you like desserts for two, you may also like my Chocolate Chip Cookies for Two.

This Chocolate Raspberry Tart for Two is vegan, gluten free and even paleo friendly! All you need is 6 simple ingredients! If you don’t have a tart shell, I think you could also make this using standard sized muffin liners.

If you need a nut free sub, you can use sunflower seeds in place of the pecans and a milk of your choice. 🙂 If you enjoy this post, you may also like this one.

I made you some 4 Ingredient Macaroons! I keep seeing all these macaroon-like raw snack showing up at the health food stores.

Well all of them are pretty pricey. Like over $6 for a bag of maybe 7-8 snacks! Well I made these healthier vegan macaroons for much cheaper than that.

They best part? They take only a few minutes to make! If you like recipes with few ingredients, you may also enjoy this post. They also contain ZERO refined sugar.

Not only are these 4 Ingredient Macaroons super easy to make, but they are also vegan, gluten free and paleo.

If you wanted to, you could drizzle a little melted chocolate over them. My 3 Ingredient Chocolate Bar recipe would be great for that.

Sweet Potato Cookies

As you all know, I am a lover of sweet potatoes. These Sweet Potato Cookies are my latest creation. After making my sweet potato pizza crust, I had a little bit of pureed sweet potatoes left over. So naturally I had to make these sweet potato cookies. I also added chocolate chips to mine which is totally optional but highly recommended.

Sometimes you are in the mood for a good chocolate chip cookie. That is where this Chocolate Chip Cookie for Two comes into play. This recipe makes only two cookies so you don’t have to worry about over eating the whole batch. 🙂

Thursday was my birthday, and I was craving a good chocolate chip cookie. So I made this recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies for Two. This chocolate chip cookie recipe is so easy and it doesn’t even require a mixer! Plus there is no egg in this recipe, so feel free to just eat the dough if you prefer!

These chocolate chip cookies are vegan and gluten free. I am guessing the if you refrigerated the dough, it may work nicely in a cookie dough ice cream. Maybe a single serving banana ice cream? Yum!!

Flourless Almond Joy Blondies (Vegan)

January 28, 2015February 23, 2018 Melissa King 45 Comments

As you know, I am a big fan of flourless treats. These Flourless Almond Joy Blondies are the latest creation. I got the idea as I was trying to go to sleep the other night. Yes I think about food all the time lol! So in the morning I stopped by the store to pick up everything that I needed .

These Flourless Almond Joy Blondies were a huge hit. Especially with my 5 year old, who kept trying to sneak more and more bites. She had no idea these were made with beans! If you like flourless recipes, you may also like my Flourless Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies or my Flourless Healthy Chocolate Muffins.

These decadent almond joy blondies are vegan, grain free and gluten free. You will seriously never taste the beans! These are that good.

If you have been skeptical of desserts with beans, you really need to try! Trust me, one of the most popular recipes on my blog is my black bean brownies.
