Triple Chocolate Flourless Banana Muffins { Vegan + Paleo }

February 20, 2019 by Bethany 1 Comment

Triple Chocolate Flourless Banana muffins are a healthy and delicious breakfast or snack made with 6 ingredients! Paleo, vegan and gluten-free!

I’m excited to share with you these Chocolate Flourless Banana Muffins today! I feel like my most used ingredients are as followed: almond butter, bananas, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and chocolate chips. If you’ve followed Athletic Avocado for a while, you can probably attest to that!

After 4+ years of recipe testing and making, those five ingredients have made an appearance in probably 80% of our recipes. But in total honesty, I am not ashamed of that AT ALL. Not even one bit.

And those five ingredients just happen to make up this wonderful muffin recipe I have for you today! They are based on this chocolate peanut butter banana muffin recipe. Yes, that’s right, this recipe is almost the exact same, except I used almond butter in place of peanut butter! Again, no shame 🙂

There are three kinds of chocolate in these muffins: Dark cocoa powder, dark chocolate and white chocolate. Triple the chocolate = triple the fun 😉

These muffins have a dense fudgy texture that makes them perfect for satisfying your brownie and chocolate cravings alike! It’s hard to believe they are made with nourishing ingredients!

They are super delicious with a cup of coffee for breakfast or a snack! Here is what you need to make the recipe:

almond butter

bananas

chocolate protein powder

dark cocoa powder

maple syrup

mini dark chocolate chips

white chocolate chips

Satisfy your dessert cravings with this Paleo Flourless Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cake with Dark Chocolate Frosting. You won’t believe that it’s flour-less and made with only 7 ingredients! Also with a vegan option!

I don’t think Rachel and I will ever get out of this flourless baking phase haha. We can’t stop (and won’t stop) creating recipes like this because they are just so dang good!

I honestly think we have more flourless recipes than flour-full.

Just when you thought we ran out of recipes ideas for a flourless cake, we proved you wrong. We have never created a zucchini cake, only zucchini fudge brownies (which are bomb, by the way). This cake is essentially the exact same recipes as the brownies, sans the dark cocoa powder and fudge glaze!

If you love chocolate chip zucchini bread, I am almost certain that you will love this cake recipe! Plus, I added a layer of this incredible fudge frosting, curtesy of the Texanerin!

The BEST Flourless Carrot Cake {Paleo + Vegan Option}

March 30, 2018 by Bethany And Rachel 18 Comments

Flourless Carrot Cake is fluffy and moist made with 9 real ingredients and topped with a white chocolate drizzle! You would never believe it’s healthy! paleo and with a vegan option!

Coming back at ya with another flourless recipe becuase that’s what we do best💁

We’ve made so many variations, it was so natural that this carrot cake version was next. Carrot cake reminds me of spring and warmer weather, which we are FINALLY getting. After what it seemed like a million blizzards we had on the east coast, the warmer weather is much needed. And so is carrot cake.

To be honest, carrot cake isn’t my favorite type of cake. I usually go for a more decadent chocolate version, but I think I have rekindled my love for it after this recipe!

In another light, lets talk quick about Jesus. With Easter coming up, we must recognize that he was cruxified to save our sins. How amazing is that? And you’re probably thinking, what does Jesus have to do with carrot cake? The answer: everything! He is the reason we celebrate on Easter and make delicious carrot cake 🙂

“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

-Romans 5:8

Here are the ingredients you need:

cashew butter

carrots

applesauce

maple syrup

coconut

raisins

white chocolate chips

egg or flax egg

baking soda

Be prepared to love this carrot cake! You won’t guess that it’s flourless or made with healthier ingredients!

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?

The BEST Gooey Flourless Avocado Brownies {7 Ingredients!}

Happy “finally” summer! I love summer, right now it’s wayyyy too humid for my liking. I wouldn’t mind the humidity as much if my hair didn’t frizz. One step outside and it goes from naturally wavy to a lion mane, gotta love it! Anyways, hope you are enjoying your summer right now! Let’s dive into today’s recipe: Gooey Flourless Avocado Brownies!

You guys already know how much we love flourless recipes, especially our zucchini brownies and lemon blueberry blondies! You guys seem to love em’ too, considering that they are some of our most popular recipes. Flourless recipes have the BEST texture, which is somewhat gooey and dense.

So being that our blog name is Athletic Avocado, it is only appropriate to make avocado brownies. I know that there are lots of version of avocado brownies, but this version is unique and inspired by our zucchini brownie base.

Avocado gives these brownies an extra rich and gooey texture, without tasting like avocado. Plus, they give an extra dose of healthy fats too.

Flourless Avocado Brownie Ingredients:

avocado

banana

baking soda

Substitutions for Flourless Brownies:

Cashew Butter: You may substitute smooth, natural nut butter such as almond butter or sunflower seed butter.

Maple Syrup: You may sub in any liquid sweetener such as honey or agave.

Chocolate Glaze: You may simply omit this glaze and just use chocolate chips instead.

How to Store Flourless Avocado Brownies:

You may store these brownies in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for a few months.

How to Serve Flourless Avocado Brownies:

These brownies are delicious served warm with ice cream or whipped cream, or served cold and maybe drizzled with sugar-free chocolate sauce and/or nut butter 🙂

March 25, 2017 by Bethany And Rachel 42 Comments

Lemon Blueberry Macadamia Flourless Blondies are so gooey and delicious! You would never know that they are good for you! Also gluten-free, paleo with a vegan option!

You know what they say, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I’m referring to the fact that my creativity lies in easy, healthy baked goods. Why waste energy and try to create a recipe that’s not in my niche? All y’all food bloggers know exactly what I’m talking about. Once in a while I have an itchin’ for creating savory recipes, but 98% of the time, my mind is in the land of sweets.

I guess it’s just how God made my brain, but I’m totally not complaining. I keep going back to making the same types of recipes, only with different flavor variations. For this particular recipe, I was reminiscing about these Gooey Flourless Cinnamon Toffee Blondies. Dreaming about the gooey, sweet texture made think of a different way to make something similar. Insert these Lemon Blueberry Macadamia Blondies.

The gooey-ness factor in these blondies? Spot on. The fresh lemon-blueberry flavor with the rich nuttiness of the macadamia butter? I would score it a perfect 10.

Seriously guys, near-perfect desserts don’t have to be hard to make. Making these blondies require just a little more effort than pressing an easy button. You don’t even need flour to make them! That was (deliciously) easy.

Let’s see what we’ve got in the mix:

macadamia butter

maple syrup

1 egg/flax egg

baking soda

lemon juice + zest

vanilla

fresh blueberries

Easy, peasy Lemon-squeezy.

Gooey Lemon Blueberry Macadamia Flourless Blondies

Be prepared to fall in love with these ultra gooey, decadent blondies. Studded with fresh blueberries, zesty lemon and the creaminess of macadamia butter, you wouldn’t ask for anything else! You won’t believe that they are gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, paleo with a vegan option.

January 22, 2017 by Bethany And Rachel 57 Comments

Hello Guys! I’m excited to share this recipe with you all today! This recipe (like others I’ve made) is born from past recipe creations morphed together.

As I was looking through my Pinterest board yesterday, I came across this Flourless Pumpkin Snack Cake. I remembered how amazing this recipe was (I mean, come on! You can’t go wrong with pumpkin cake with a chocolate frosting).

Then, I scrolled down to these Peanut Butter Banana French Toast Rollups and immediately had an epiphany. This was my discernment from God telling me to make a PB-Banana version of the flourless snack cake!

In my opinion, you can never go wrong with the peanut butter and banana combo, – it is always a winner year-round (for me at least). I think most people would agree with me, though I am probably slightly biased.

But, let me tell ya, this cake is oh-so-good. The base is adapted from the pumpkin version and it’s just so fluffy and moist, you would never be able to tell it’s flourless!

Additionally, this cake is suitable for dietary restrictions as well. It’s not only gluten-free but can also be vegan and paleo-friendly too! If you’re vegan, just sub a flax egg. Paleo? Sub in almond butter for the frosting.

Furthermore, this PB banana snack cake is so simple and easy to make too!

Ingredients Needed For This Flourless Cake

Peanut Butter

Bananas

Maple syrup

Egg/flax egg

Baking soda

Peanut Butter Mousse

Flourless Peanut Butter Banana Cake Substitutions:

Peanut Butter: You may substitute any natural smooth nut butter such as almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower seed butter, etc.

Gooey Cinnamon Toffee Flourless Blondies {Gluten-Free, Paleo + Vegan!}

Flourless Cinnamon Toffee Blondies are so gooey and delicious! Would never know that they are good for you! Also gluten-free, vegan and paleo!!

“This post is sponsored by Frontier Co-op and Mambo Sprouts as a part of the #cookwithpurpose campaign. All opinions stated are my own.”

First of all, let’s talk about texture. I am one of those people who prefer gooey and doughy textures over hard and dry-ish textures, especially when it comes to baked goods. I will gladly under-bake some banana bread even if it barely holds together, just for that doughy center. So can probably understand why I am so stoked about these blondies, they are just SO GOOEY!

Another reason why you need to make these is that they taste like toffee and we all know that toffee if just friggin’ delicious, right? So not only are these gooey, sweet, and toffee-like, but they are also pretty darn good for ya too, as if you needed another reason to make these!

As you know from the majority of our recipes, we like to make them so that everyone can enjoy them, even those who partake in a vegan, gluten-free, paleo, etc. lifestyle and these blondies fit the bill! Every time I make a recipe, I’m alway thinking about how my recipes can improve the health and well-being of those who eat them, like my family. So how do I cook with purpose? I believe that making my treats with real and whole ingredients will not only make them delicious, but allow my family to understand that they can still have amazing tasting food with simple and natural ingredients! That’s why I’m so stoked to create these blondies with sustainable non-GMO spices from Frontier Co-op!

These blondies are incredibly easy to make and only have a few (real-food) ingredients:

Cashew butter

Banana or applesauce

Maple syrup

Coconut flakes

Frontier Co-op Organic Vietnamese Cinnamon

Frontier Co-op Vanilla

Baking soda

Mix-ins

These blondies are so oozy-gooey and completely flourless, paleo, and vegan! No one will ever guess that they are made with only real food ingredients! They are super easy to make and will please even the pickiest of eaters! Ya gotta make these NOW!

The BEST Flourless Paleo Pumpkin Cake with Dark Chocolate Frosting {7 Ingredients!}

September 5, 2016 by Bethany 56 Comments

Satisfy your pumpkin cravings with this Flourless Paleo Pumpkin Cake with Dark Chocolate Frosting. You won’t believe that it’s flour-less and made with only 7 ingredients! Also with a vegan option!

I am often referred to as “the trickster”. Not only can I do some pretty cool tricks in gymnastics, but I actually trick people into thinking certain things. Not gonna lie, sometimes I tell people that I’m Rachel and they believe me.

One time I convinced my 22 year old friend that chocolate milk was made from brown cows. Yeah I’m completely serious on that last sentence. This girl graduated college with a degree in medical lab science and was fooled by me.

I guess I sometimes “trick” too much so people start to not believe when I say certain things. Case in point: this recipe. Every single person who tried recipe couldn’t believe this cake was made sans flour. How does one make baked goods without the use of flour? You are tricking us Bethany, aren’t you?

Actually nah, not this time. You see, almond butter/cashew butter is one heck of a sub for flour in grain-free baked goods. I was amazed myself at how well this cake fluffed up.

The texture is moist and so fluffy (I could die!) and everything you want a cake to be. No fooling you here, pinky promise.

And now that the pumpkin craze has begun, I’ve been craving all things pumpkin. Before you know it, I’ll have a nice beta-carotene tan which is totally ok with me.

It’s mind blowing that no flour is needed to make this cake. Only 6 simple ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen:

Almond butter

Canned pumpkin

Maple syrup

Egg or flax egg

Vanilla extract

Baking soda

And if you’re feeling extra decadent, go for the Paleo Dark Chocolate Fudge Frosting courtesy of Erin from Texanerian Baking. It’s optional, but we all know a little chocolate never hurt nobody😏
