4 Ingredient Macaroons

February 8, 2015May 25, 2017 Melissa King 31 Comments

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.

Easy Sesame Cauliflower (Vegan)

Easy Sesame Cauliflower. My husband Marcus has been wanting to do a Sesame Cauliflower recipe for a while now. Well he finally did and I am here to share this Sesame Cauliflower recipe with you! Think sesame chicken minus the chicken.

This stuff was really good! I could see this sesame cauliflower sauce being used on all kinds of things. Like in a stir fry or as a veggie dip. Or even a marinade. I love recipes with multiple uses. Don’t you? Kind of like my Thai Peanut Sauce.

You can add all kinds of veggies into this recipe. I could see snow peas, broccoli and red bell peppers being great additions. Also mushrooms.

You can make the sauce and saute right away, or you can let the cauliflower and other veggies marinate for an hour or two. I will definitely try the marinade next time!

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.

I have to give props to my husband for this Quinoa Pizza Casserole recipe. If you are new to my blog, my husband makes a good deal of the savory recipes. Some of his other very popular creations are the Peanut Noodle Stir Fry and the Sweet Potato Chili. I am just so much better at the desserts. 🙂 Mostly because I have always loved to bake. This Quinoa Pizza Casserole is so freaking amazing!! If you have tried and liked my Cheesy Vegan Quinoa Bites, then you must try this recipe. It’s super easy to make too!

This healthy quinoa bake can stand on it’s own as a meal. I think it might also be good with a side salad or a side of roasted vegetables. It freezes well too. I was so surprised at how much it tasted like pizza!! You have got to try this one for sure.

Broccoli Cheese Quinoa Bites. I have been making a lot of quinoa dishes lately. These Broccoli Quinoa Bites are the latest creation.

The other day we made some cheesy quinoa bites and they came out so well, that I wanted to do a broccoli and cheese version.

So that is how these Broccoli Cheese Quinoa Bites were born. I made my quinoa bites in a standard sized muffin pan, but you could also use a large or mini muffin pan. Just depends on how big you want the bites to be.

These Broccoli Quinoa Bites can be made ahead of time and frozen. I ate a couple with a side of roasted veggies, but I also think they might be good on top of some greens.

These healthy quinoa bites are vegan, gluten free and grain free. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did.

Dairy Free Pesto is the recipe for today! Pesto is one of my favorite sauces. It’s great on zucchini noodles and pizza. It also makes a great dip or sandwich spread.

This healthy vegan pesto sauce is very versatile. It’s also super easy to make! I only used 6 ingredients. My dairy free pesto recipe is also oil free.

If you like to make your own dressings and sauces, you may also like this post full of sauce and condiment recipes.

You can whip up this healthy pesto in just minutes. I added spinach to mine, but kale or chard will work too. No need for dairy and oil in this recipe.

I added the nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor, but it actually will give you a nice dose of B vitamins too! This dairy free pesto recipe is vegan, gluten free and grain free!

You can keep it paleo, but omitting the yeast. If you are wondering what the heck nutritional yeast is, check out this post.
