Cinnamon Raisin Sweet Potato Bread {Paleo + Vegan option}

October 7, 2017 by Bethany 9 Comments

Cinnamon Raisin Sweet Potato Bread is a sweet and satisfying breakfast treat that goes perfectly with a cup of coffee! Made with nourishing ingredients, and paleo + vegan friendly!

The colder weather’s got me wanting all the carbs lately. Does this happen to you? When it’s chilly out my body craves big warm bowls of oatmeal or toast with coffee. I normally make oatmeal, but toast? Not really ever anymore.

I remember when I was younger I would only eat cinnamon raisin toast, no other bland or boring toast for me! Cinnamon raisin toast with cinnamon sugar on top is where its at. If you haven’t tried it for yourself, I encourage you to do so.

This recipe was inspired by my longing desire to enjoy that epic toast combo, but in a new fun way. I’m not really sure why I chose to make sweet potato bread + cinnamon raisin, but it doesn’t matter because it is delicious.

This bread is moist, tender, and a perfect sweet breakfast treat with a cuppa joe. You can even add a glorious cream cheese glaze if your feeling frisky! Here is what you need:

almond flour

sweet potato

almond butter

egg (or flax egg)

almond milk

cinnamon sugar

raisins

vanilla

cream cheese drizzle

Flourless Pecan Apple Cake with Cinnamon Frosting {Paleo & Vegan }

September 29, 2017 by Bethany 12 Comments

Flourless Pecan Apple Cake is fluffy and moist made with only 8 real ingredients and topped with a cinnamon frosting! You would never believe it’s healthy!Paleo + Vegan option!

It was only a matter of time before I made a apple version of my favorite cake recipe. I swear my mind is like a broken record when coming up with new recipe ideas. I just keep coming back to this flourless cake base but I’m not too concerned about it😏

HOLA fall season, which means apples are in abundance and baking increases. Pumpkin is usually the star of this season, but let’s not forget the beauty of the apple. To give apples their proper recognition, I made them the star of this cake. Instead of almond butter (which I normally use), I made pecan butter because pecans and apples go tougher like pb and j.

To top it all off, this cake is complete with a fluffy, sweet cinnamon frosting made from coconut cream. It’s a great addition to this cake, but if you want to skip it all together I wouldn’t judge you either. A naked cake still tastes fab.

Flourless Mocha Brownie Cookies { Paleo & Vegan option}

September 20, 2017 by Bethany 10 Comments

Flourless Mocha Brownie Cookies are a chocolatey, simple-to-make healthy treat that you’ll whole family will love! Paleo friendly with a Vegan option!

I just realized something, the cookie department on this blog is lacking poorly. There aren’t many dessert cookies here, mainly breakfast cookies. That’s a huge problem thats about to be fixed, thanks to this recipe!

“This post is sponsored by Queen Creek Olive Mill. As always, all opinions are my own.”

Sure cookie bars and brownies are great, but sometimes you just want a big cookie full of gooey chocolate puddles that tastes like a brownie with a slight mocha flavor. Lemme tell y’all, these cookies are not for the weak. They have an intense chocolatey flavor, curtesy of a few key ingredients.

First up, dark cocoa powder. Like the name implys, this cocoa taste like dark chocolate and is crucial if you want a rich chocolate flavor.

Secondly, Dark chocolate chunks. ‘Nough said.

Last but surely not least, Queen Creek Olive Mill’s Chocolate olive oil. Yes is sounds strange, but trust me on this one. Usually when I think of olive oil I think about savory dishes, but these cookies are proof that olive oil deserves a spot in the baking seen. This chocolate olive oil is cold pressed with cocoa bean oil for a unique, delectable flavor. Now I normally use coconut oil in my recipes, but I swapped it for this chocolate olive oil. It adds extra chocolate flavor because we all know you can never have enough chocolate💁

These cookies also have extra pizazz thanks to a little help from my friend, instant coffee. But for some reason if you’re not a coffee fanatic, you can totally take it out if that floats your boat.

Here is what you need :

almond butter

egg (or flax egg)

chocolate olive oil

dark cocoa powder

maple syrup

instant coffee

baking soda

dark chocolate chunks

mocha drizzle

Flourless Mocha Brownie Cookies

These cookies are jam-packed with intense chocolate flavor, have a hint of coffee flavor and are made with wholesome, nourishing ingredients! What’s not to love?

Healthy Soft-Baked Frosted Chai Pumpkin Cookies {Paleo & Vegan option}

September 13, 2017 by Bethany 11 Comments

Soft-Baked Frosted Chai Pumpkin Cookies will be your new go-to fall dessert! Fluffy, full of pumpkin-chai flavor, and Paleo & Vegan!

Did someone say it was pumpkin season?😏

Regardless of what month it is, pumpkin has a special place in my heart. It’s one of my favorite ingredients to bake with because it adds moisture, makes baked goods fluffy and doughy and tastes like fall.

This recipe was inspired by a cream cheese-frosted pumpkin cookie recipe that my mom sometimes makes during the Fall season. These cookies actually taste pretty similar but are made with more nutrient-dense ingredients for the win!

Another thing that comes to mind when I think of fall is warm beverages. Chai tea is one of my favorite drinks to sip when the weather gets chilly.

Pumpkin and chai actually pair very well together, which is one of the reasons I created these cookies.

These pumpkin chai cookies are plump, and cakey, and have an ideal, soft-baked texture. The chai-spiced frosting makes them even better (but feel free to do without, if desired). In addition, they also happen to be super easy to make! Here are the ingredients you’ll need:

almond flour

almond butter or nut butter of choice!

canned pumpkin

pure maple syrup or another liquid sweetener of choice

an egg (or flax egg)

chai spice from chai tea bags

baking soda

chai frosting – instructions below!

Soft-Baked Frosted Chai Pumpkin Cookies

Are you obsessed with all things pumpkin? You’ll love these simple, healthy cookies! They’re soft-baked, fluffy, and full of pumpkin, and chai flavors. Topped with a chai frosting, these cookies will be a hit! Also paleo and vegan friendly.

6 Ingredient Rocky Road Brownie Freezer Fudge {Gluten-free & Vegan}

August 20, 2017 by Bethany 6 Comments

Rocky Road Brownie Freezer Fudge is a simple no-bake treat that’s made with only 6 ingredients and can be made in 5 minutes! Low-carb, GF & Vegan!

Time for another fudge recipe! Drum rolllll please…..

Ta da! Isn’t she a beaut? This is actually the first fudge recipe on the blog that has chocolate in it. I know, you’re like what? But it’s the truth, I’ve made blueberry muffin fudge and oatmeal raisin cookie fudge, so a chocolate version was way overdue.

This fudge is actually better than simple chocolate fudge for two reasons. 1). It’s made from brownie mix and 2). It’s rocky road. Oh and another bonus reason: It’s healthier than normal fudge.

I used Silver Fern’s natural gluten-free cake brownie mix for this recipe. Not only does it taste great, but this mix is low carb (7b net carbs per serving), has no sugar alcohol and is made with healthy ingredients. I also added Cenavi 70% dark chocolate flats which are low in calories, high in fiber and only have 1g of net carbs per serving.

You only need six ingredients! Here they are:

Silver Fern cake brownie mix

cashew butter

coconut oil

chopped nuts

walnuts

Cenavi chocolate flats

Rocky Road Brownie Freezer Fudge

A simple, easy, low-carb fudge recipe that your whole family will love!

Chunky Monkey Rice Crispy Treats {Vegan & Gluten-free}

August 12, 2017 by Bethany 14 Comments

Chunky Monkey Rice Crispy Treats are a homemade healthier makeover of your favorite childhood snack! Only 6 ingredients and Vegan + Gluten-free!

Hola friends! Today we’re going to take you way back down memory lane. How so? With a rice crispy treat recipe😎

“This post is sponsored by One Degree Organics. As always, all opinions are my own!”

TBH rice crispies were the highlight of my day back in middle school. I didn’t particularly enjoy those awkward pre-teen years, but did anyone? From what I remember, all my teachers were super mean. But the worst part of middle school was that I had the last lunch every year. Every. Single. Year.

But when lunch did come (at 1 pm, which is a long haul when you eat breakfast at 6:30 am) all I could think about was my rice crispy treat. It’s been almost a decade since those dreaded years, and although I haven’t missed them, I’ve missed the joy those sweet treats brought me.

Ok, enough reminiscing, lets get to the recipe! I’ve partnered up with One Degree Organic Foods to create these healthier, vegan rice crispy treats. The thing I love about One Degree Organic is that every single ingredient they use has a story.

One Degree Organics brings food straight from the farm to your table so there’s only one degree of separation between you and the person who grew your food — just like a farmers’ market. Meet the family farmers who grow every ingredient in every product through a QR code. All One Degree Organics products are sprouted, traceable, organic and Non-GMO Project Verified.

Guys if you have never tried to make your own rice crispies, now is the time! These are so simple with only a few ingredients needed:

One Degree Organics brown rice cacao crisps

peanut butter

banana

maple syrup

banana chips

pb drizzle

Chunky Monkey Rice Crispy Treats

PB drizzle:
2 Tbsp. smooth natural peanut butter
1 Tbsp. coconut oil melted

Instructions

Place cacao crisps and banana chips in a large bowl and mix. Set aside.
Place peanut butter and maple syrup in a sauce pan on low heat. Stir occasionally until mixture starts to boil. Once boiling starts, add mashed banana and stir constantly until mixture is smooth and thick.
Pour peanut butter mixture onto cereal and mix until well combined. Press down evenly into a parchment-lined 8x8 pan. Add more banana chips on top, if desired.
Freeze for 1 hour, or place in refrigerator for a few hours.
Once hardened, use a sharp knife to slice into about 9 bars.
In a small bowl, mix together peanut butter and coconut oil. Drizzle on top of bars.

EASY Paleo Blueberry Muffin No-Bake Protein Bars

These Paleo Blueberry Muffin No-Bake Protein Bars are a healthy, easy and delicious on-the-go snack! They only require a few ingredients and taste like Blueberry Muffins!

These No-Bake Paleo Blueberry Muffin Protein Bars are a healthy, easy and delicious on-the-go snack! They only require a few ingredients and taste like Blueberry Muffins!

“This post is kindly sponsored by Vital Proteins. As always all opinions are our own.”

Can we all agree on two things? 1). How hard it is to turn on your oven when it’s hot as lava outside and 2). Blueberry muffins!!!!

Starting with statement number 1, since it’s August, aka hot and humid on the east coast, the A.C is the first thing I want to turn on and the oven is the last thing I want to turn on. Am I right? With that in mind, I’m sharing a no-bake recipe with y’all today 🙂

Secondly, number 2. My love for blueberry muffins has never faded away. In fact, it’s become stronger than ever., which brings me to these BLUEBERRY MUFFIN PROTEIN BARS.

Does you guys remember these No-Bake S’mores Protein Bars I made awhile back? They were my first no-bake protein bar recipe I ever made with Vital Proteins. They came out so good that I decided to use the same base, but obviously with a different flavor.

For those of you who have never tried collagen, you need to. Taking collagen can help support bone and joint health, healthy hair, skin, and nails, and digestion. Both Rachel and I started using collagen religiously a few months ago, and have seen many benefits! For this recipe, I used Vital Protein’s Vanilla Collagen Peptides to add extra sweetness.

Have you ever tried the blueberry muffin Quest bars? I’d say that these homemade bars are better, but I maybe a little biased. For one thing, they don’t have the artificial aftertaste like Quest bars because they’re made with whole ingredients.

Here is what ya need:

Vital Protein vanilla collagen peptides

almond flour

almond butter

maple syrup

freeze-dried blueberries

walnuts

white chocolate chips

almond milk

No-Bake Blueberry Muffin Protein Bars

These protein bars are made using Vital Proteins Collagen, real nourishing ingredients and are studded with freeze-dried blueberries, white chocolate and walnuts. A simple no-bake bar that will replace your store-bought version in an instant!

Paleo Blueberry Muffin No-Bake Protein Bars

Print Recipe

Ingredients

2 cups almond flour
1/2 cup Vital Proteins collagen peptides vanilla & coconut water
1 cup freeze-dried blueberries
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup white chocolate chips optional
1/2 cup almond butter make sure it's drippy
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup almond milk

Instructions

Combine first five ingredients in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix together almond butter, maple syrup and almond milk. Add to dry ingredients.
Using your hands, mix all ingredients together until a dough forms.
Line a square pan with parchment paper. Add dough ball and press down until an even layer forms. Cover with a sheet of plastic wrap.
Place in the fridge until firm. Lift out of the pan and cut into about 8 bars.
Store the bars in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
Enjoy!

Just like the other two versions, these scones are super simple to make. They’re dense, hearty and flavorful, aka perfect for breakfast with a cup of ( iced) coffee.
