You guys! I don’t get this excited over cookies that often, but I am so excited about this recipe for 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies! Seriously. Best. Cookies. Ever. These 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies taste just like the classic peanut butter cookies, but without the flour or refined sugar! Super easy too.

You probably already have the ingredients to make them! If you like recipes with small ingredient lists, you may also like my post about 20 Healthy Desserts with 5 Ingredients or Less. You have got to get in your kitchen and make these healthy peanut butter cookies ASAP!

These healthy cookies are so good and very easy. From start to finish it’s less than 20 minutes. No mixer needed! I think the sweet and salty combo is what make these out of this world delicious.

These peanut butter cookies are vegan, gluten free and grain free. If you wanted a paleo version, you can use almond butter. If you needed a nut free version, try using sunflower butter. I think either will work out.

Vegan Carrot Cake (Gluten Free)

Vegan Carrot Cake is today’s healthy recipe. I am going to let you in on a secret. I am probably the only person in the world who doesn’t like carrot cake.

My husband on the other hand, LOVES it. In fact, he cannot go to Whole Foods without getting their carrot cake slice from the bakery.

He loves the whole foods cake, but the icing is too sugary for him. So I tried to make a healthier version for him. That is how this vegan carrot cake was born.

I used no oil at all in this vegan carrot cake recipe. You don’t have to be vegan or gluten free to enjoy this healthier carrot cake recipe. If you like this then you may also like my carrot cake baked oatmeal or my carrot cake homemade larabars.

You are probably wondering why there are no raisins in my carrot cake. Well I gotta be honest. Sometimes I make mistakes. I actually wrote the recipe to include raisins. I just forgot to fold them in the batter before I moved it to the pan.

I also only made 1 pan instead of doing a layered cake because I wasn’t sure how the recipe would turn out.

If you want to make a bigger cake with layers, feel free to make 2 batches of this recipe and put them together. I used my 5 minute frosting recipe to frost this, but you can use a cream cheese frosting if you like too.

Do you like carrot cake? You can have it for breakfast with this Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal. If you have been following me for a while, you know I love my oats and oatmeal. Baked oatmeal is a great way to take your oats on the go. Baked oatmeal is like oats in muffin form.

This healthy baked oatmeal is my latest creation. If you like this, you may also like my strawberry banana baked oatmeal or my almond butter chocolate baked oatmeal.

Another thing that makes baked oatmeal so great is that it can be made ahead of time. I usually make a double batch and stick one batch in the freezer. That way, if I am feeling lazy one morning, I have a healthy breakfast option to pull out of the freezer. Just reheat and you are good to go!

I must admit, I am not a fan of carrot cake anything. My husband is a huge fan of anything carrot cake, so he tasted tested these and gave his approval! It took me two tries to get this recipe perfect. I hope you enjoy it.
