Grain Free Twix Bars (Vegan and Paleo)

Grain Free Twix Bars. Twix bars were one of my favorite candy bars back in the day. I already have one twix recipe on my blog, but I wanted to create another one that was grain free with much less ingredients.

That is how I came up with these grain free vegan twix bars.  It was really hard to get a good pic, but I promise you they are delicious!  Super easy too. Only 5 ingredients!

Peanut Butter Cup Muffins

Who doesn’t like peanut butter cups?  Well I made them into muffin form!  I slightly tweaked my recipe for double chocolate donuts for these Peanut Butter Cup Muffins.  These came out super good!  This would make a yummy breakfast for on the go.  There is also a good amount of protein in each muffin.  I made jumbo muffins for the photo, but you can also use standard muffins.

Blueberry Almond Scones (Vegan and Gluten Free)

Blueberry Almond Scones for you today.  A few weeks ago, a came across a recipe for Paleo Blueberry Scones.  It was on the blog Fed and Fit.  She has lots of great recipes!  Definitely check her out!

I have been craving scones for while now.  These were so delicious and I can see so many variations on this recipe in the future.

I deviated from the original recipe a bit, and I think it came out great!  If you enjoy blueberry recipes this time of year, you may also like my Blueberries and Cream Popsicles or my Banana Blueberry Muffins.

I love almond extract, so I try and add it whenever I can.  I went so well in these blueberry almond scones.

I also made mine vegan by using flax eggs.  I loved that the original recipe called for cashews as a base.  You all know I love making all my flourless cookie recipes with cashews!

I hope you enjoy it this as well.

Almond Butter Cranberry Muffins (Vegan)

My husband is on a muffin kick.  So I made these Almond Butter Cranberry Muffins for him to take to work.  These healthy Almond Butter Muffins freeze very well, so you can make a big batch for easy breakfasts on the go.  The cranberries I used were sweetened with fruit.

If you can’t find cranberries sweetened with fruit, you can also use raisins.  Either way will be delicious.  To make the oat flour, I just ground up some rolled oats in the Vitamix.  If you like these, you may also like my pumpkin muffins or my chocolate coffee muffins.

Strawberry Banana Muffins

Muffins are a great way to use up ripe bananas. I made these Strawberry Banana Muffins the other day because we not only had bananas to use up, we also had strawberries that needed to be used.  These Strawberry Banana Muffins came out great.  If you like banana recipes, you may also like my 5 Minute Banana Ice Cream or my Grain Free Banana Bread.

These healthy muffins are vegan and gluten free.  They went fast at our house! You can whip them up in no time at all.  You can freeze some for those days you need a quick breakfast on the go.  They freeze great!

Blueberry Crumb Bars (Vegan)

I am a big fan of fruity desserts.  That is why I made these Blueberry Crumb Bars.   These Blueberry Crumb Bars are actually healthy enough for breakfast too.  They didn’t last long at our house!  I made these healthy crumb bars oil free too.

We are currently staying at my inlaw’s house as our kitchen gets renovated.  I can tell you that everyone  in the house enjoyed these crumb bars.  If you like fruit bars, you may also enjoy my Homemade Nutri-grain Bars or my Homemade Fig Newtons.

I went a little overboard on the jelly, so mine is oozing out the sides.  I recommend not spreading the jelly all the way to the end.  Leave about a 1 inch boarder because the jam will spread.

These were still delicious though.  In addition to being oil free, these bars are also gluten free and vegan. 🙂  This recipe was adapted from my Pumpkin Raspberry Oat Bars.
