Flourless Turtle Brownies {Paleo + Vegan-option}

July 3, 2018 by Bethany 7 Comments

These Flourless Turtle Brownies will be your next go-to brownie recipe! Super simple to make plus gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, paleo with a vegan option!

To be honest guys, this recipe has been sitting in my drafts for almost three years. I’ve always wanted to post this recipe because its uh-maz-ing but the pictures didn’t do these brownies any justice.

So I remade them a few years later, and bam they are still turtely (pun intended) amazing as I remembered. The turtle combo of chocolate, pecans, and caramel really is a match made in heaven.

These brownies are rich and chocolately, just how brownies should be. And of course I wouldn’t be part of Athletic Avocado if I didn’t make them flourless💁

Pecan butter stands as the base to these beauties so no flour is necessary. Dark cocoa powder gives these brownies the mouth-watering intense chocolate flavor, and the caramel drizzle is the cherry on top!

I used store-bought caramel sauce to save some time, but you can also make your own healthier version instead (I made date caramel the first time I made these brownies.

So here is what you need to make these brownies:

pecan butter (homemade or store-bought)

dark cocoa powder

maple syrup

egg (or flax egg)

coconut oil

vanilla

baking soda

caramel sauce

chopped pecans

chocolate drizzle

“This Post is sponsored by Rootz Nutrition, as always opinions stated are my own.”

It’s a texture thing, that’s all. You can pretty much eat bars for every meal too. Like bars in savory form for lunch and dinner or bars in sweet form for dessert, snack and of course, BREAKFAST! Moral of the story, bars are awesome.

Now you see where I’m going with this right? Breakfast bars.

You see, I am veryyyyy picky when it comes to protein powder. I won’t go near protein powders that contain any preservatives or artificial sweeteners. I saw Rootz protein powder online, read the clean ingredient list and knew I had to give it a try. After trying Rootz in a smoothie for the first time, I was hooked. Not only is it free of GMO’s, gluten, dairy, soy, artificial ingredients and colors, but it also tastes so good AKA what protein powder should taste like! I knew it would go perfect in this breakfast bar recipe that I have been dreaming up for a while and add some amazing nutrients as well.

So now let’s talk about these chunky monkey breakfast bars. Even though they are called breakfast bars, they all make a delicious pre/post workout snack too! They are super easy to make and made with:

Pecans or nuts of choice

Unsweetened coconut flakes

Rootz Chocolate Banana Nut Protein Powder

Almond Butter

Banana

Coconut oil

Chunky Monkey Paleo Breakfast Bars

EASY No-Bake Turtle Candy Bark {Paleo + Vegan}

November 13, 2016 by Bethany 37 Comments

Only 5 ingredients are needed to create this tasty, decadent Turtle Pecan Candy Bark! With the great flavor combo of pecans, chocolate and caramel, you'd never guess this bark is paleo + vegan!

“This post is sponsored by Georgia Grinders. As always, all opinions are my own.”

Since the holidays are quickly approaching, all things sweets have been on my mind. From experimenting with new sweet recipes for the winter season to eating bressert (dessert for breakfast), I’ve been having my fair share of homemade (healthy) holiday treats. No shame included.🙅

Are desserts are your mind lately too? I think it’s just the time of year that has me dreaming of apple pie, Christmas cookies, chocolate,etc. I love making desserts for holiday parties, but I’m usually slaving in the kitchen for HOURS on end making 8 kinds of cupcakes, 11 types of cookies, 4 types of chocolate and 3 types of pie. Ok, total exaggeration here, but my point is, why take time spend hours in the kitchen when it can take you 3 minutes (plus chilling time) to make gourmet crowd-pleasing dessert? And bonus: it’s totally healthy.

Yes I’m talking about this eye-catching tiger-stripe Turtle Pecan Bark. Who doesn’t love pecans, caramel and chocolate together? So good.

The star of the show here is Georgia Grinders Pecan Butter, which creates the perfect base for this bark. It’s creamy, drippy and has a strong nutty taste. Did you ever try pecan butter? I hate to say this, but sorry peanut butter, you are now second.

Georgia Grinders is a nut butter company that is dedicated to creating high-quality, unique nut butters with simple and minimal ingredients. They also sent me their original almond butter, creamy cashew butter (you can use in these blondies) and pecan-peanut butter. All these jars deserve a big round of applause👏👏👏

Ok, now back to this bark! It’s mind-boggling to think that it’s vegan and paleo friendly and highly addictive. Only 5 ingredients are needed:

Georgia Grinders Pecan Butter

Coconut oil

Paleo caramel sauce

chopped pecans

melted dark chocolate

No-Bake Turtle Pecan Chocolate Bark

Sticky Bun No-Bake Vegan Cheesecake is completely raw, made with just a few ingredients and one healthy and delicious holiday dessert! Also paleo and gluten-free!

We all have that one dessert that we tend to gravitate to during the holidays/family gatherings.

For some, it may be Grandma’s tray of 100 different types of cookies, for others, it may be dense and fudgey brownies, but for me, it’s cheesecake. I can eat cookies and brownies any day, but cheesecake is saved for special occasions like Christmas and birthdays. When those occasions come by, you can bet almost 99.9% that I’ll be eating more than once slice of cheesecake because calories don’t count on special occasions, right!?

Anyways, calories don’t matter. If you want cheesecake, then eat some because cheesecake is delicious and is made for enjoyment. I finally built up the courage to make something I’ve always wanted to make: a raw cheesecake. I’m always so intimidated by raw desserts and hence haven’t really ever made them for the blog but I knew that it was time! And it turn’s out, it was hard at all!

This cheesecake is stupidly easy and made up of only a few ingredients:

Pecans

Dates

Cashews

Coconut oil

Maple syrup

Vanilla extract

Cinnamon

Sticky Bun No-Bake Vegan Cheesecake

You would never be able to tell that this cheesecake is completely raw and made up of only a few ingredients. It’s so creamy and filled with sweet date caramel and crunchy pecans making it the perfect healthy holiday dessert! Also vegan, paleo, gluten-free and grain-free! Make this for your next family gathering and watch every go crazy over this!

November 2, 2016 by Bethany 33 Comments

Looking for a sweet, filling and healthy breakfast? Try this Paleo Sweet Potato Casserole Baked Pancake! It’s made with only 8 ingredients and made in the blender!

Can I get an amen for tasty breakfast recipes that get your day started off on the right note? Seriously, think back to the last time you either forgot or didn’t have time to eat breafast. Was your day full of peace and joy? Or did you want to punch everyone in the face? I’ll assume that you weren’t a happy camper!

When I don’t get to eat breakfast in the morning, I get hungry, then angry, then HANGRY. But when I do have time to make a delicious and hearty breakfast, I usually have a pretty fantastic day. Maybe that’s why they say breakfast is the “most important meal of the day.” It basically sets the tone (and your mood) for the day. I guess that doesn’t matter if you’re not used to eating breakfast though, then you should disregard my last few sentences and help me understand why you don’t like breakfast!?

If you’re like me, you could you breakfast for every meal of the day and not get bored of it. I could also probably write a novel about breakfast, but I don’t want to bore you. So let’s get to talking about this recipe. Who likes sweet potato casserole? It’s my favorite Thanksgiving side dish because it basically tastes like dessert and since I love eating dessert for breakfast, I am certain that I would eat it for breakfast the day after Thanksgiving if there was any left (which there never is!).

This thick, dense, baked pancake tastes exactly like sweet potato casserole. If you also love the classic Thanksgiving side dish, I am 100% sure that you’ll love it too.

It’s made from only 8 ingredients and mixed in the blender! Here are the ingredients:

sweet potato

eggs

coconut flour

paleo caramel sauce

cinnamon

vanilla

pecans

coconut

Caramel Sweet Potato Casserole Baked Pancake

High-Protein German Chocolate Smoothie Bowl

August 4, 2016 by Bethany 25 Comments

Craving a sweet treat post-workout? Make this German Chocolate Cake Protein Smoothie Bowl! It tastes like dessert, but full of protein from collagen!

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

I know I sound like a broken record, but I often tell you guys that I crave sweet dessert-like foods after I work out. I know I’m supposed eat protein( yada yada), but my sweet tooth tends to win the battle.

It’s usually a need (protein) verses want (dessert) situation, and what my wants always win the battle 😁.

But life is even better when post workout snacks not only taste like dessert, but also have added protein without one even knowing it. Don’t get me wrong, I love my protein powder. I just don’t always enjoy the weird aftertaste and texture it can lend.

I really enjoy using Vital Protein’s Collagen Peptides because it dissolves in hot or cold liquids and has no taste at all! You scoop it in basically anything and it vanishes like a phantom, but it gives you tons of protein and other added health benefits.

As I mentioned before in my No-Bake Paleo S’mores Protein Bars recipe post, consuming collegian promotes:

stronger bones and joints
contributes to a balanced diet
healthy immune, digestive and central nervous system.

For this particular recipe I used the Marine Collagen, which is derived from wild-caught snapper and provides 11 grams of protein per serving. Just scoop and dump in whatever your little heart desires. And if your heart desires liquid cake, you are in the right place😏

All you need for this smoothie bowl is:

Vital Protein’s Wild-Caught Collagen Peptides

frozen bananas

pecan butter

coconut milk

cocoa powder

coconut extract

toasted coconut

toasted pecans

chia seeds

dark chocolate chunks

German Chocolate Cake Protein Smoothie Bowl

A thick chocolate smoothie is blended with pecan butter, coconut extract and topped with toasted coconut, pecans and dark chocolate chunks to create a german chocolate cake flavor! It’s full of protein from Vital Protein’s Collagen Peptides!

Healthy Banana Split Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies {Gluten-free}

March 13, 2016 by Bethany And Rachel 74 Comments

Easy-to-make, healthy and delicious Banana Split Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies that taste like that original thing! Also Gluten-free and can be vegan!

So I have a confession to make…

I absolutely love concept of a Banana Split, yet I have actually never had a real banana split, like the ice cream, banana, whipped cream with a cherry on top, you know, the whole sha-bang. I know, I know, I’m pathetic, I blame the different textures for turning me off.

I think it has something to do with cold ice cream and a room temperature banana that kind of creep me out. You would think that since I’ve made Banana Split Oatmeal, Banana Split Breakfast Bowl, Banana Split Wontons and now, Banana Split Breakfast cookies, I would have had an authentic banana split by now.

Maybe you’ll forgive me after biting into these little strawberry and banana oat cookies studded with pecans and chocolate chips. What I can promise you is that these cookies have all the flavor of the so-called banana split that you can have for breakfast, snack or dessert, or heck, all three!

Warning: these are highly addictive, just ask my Dad who ate them all in 2 days!

Pecan Fig No-Bake Granola Bars with Coconut Glaze {Gluten-Free + Vegan!}

February 8, 2016 by Bethany 61 Comments

In need of a healthy snack that will satisfy you hunger as well as your sweet tooth? Make these Pecan Fig No-Bake Granola Bars with a Coconut Glaze that take no more than 10 minutes to make! Also Gluten-Free and Vegan!

Fun fact: I used to eat granola bars like it was my job. In fact, the Quaker chewy granola bars were my favorite. Back when I was 10 years old, I thought these bars were actually good for me.

Ya know, the chocolate dipped ones with the sugary peanut butter and partially-hydrogenated oils. My ten year old self thought way different about food than I do now.

My ten year-old self’s mentality was more like this about “healthy food:” “oh these granola bars are healthy and good for me? I’ll eat ten in one sitting.”

Okay, maybe not in one sitting, but I could easily polish off a box in one day. They were my favorite part about lunch time at school, afternoon snack when I got home, and my post-dinner snack. Ok, so I guess you get the picture about my love for granola bars.

Thankfully in my later teenage years, I realized that these granola bars dubbed “healthy” were actually not healthy at all. And I figured out that making my own granola bars are not only fun to create, but also extremely easy to make!

Coconut, fig and pecans are amazing flavors, but when put together , they become a unity of glory. They are sweet without any refined sugars, soft and chewy with all-natural ingredients! Oh, and you can make them in 10 minutes flat! Need I say more?

Sticky Bun French Toast Rollups

December 17, 2015 by Bethany And Rachel 35 Comments

These Sticky Bun French Toast Rollups will soon become your family new favorite and special way to eat breakfast!

I vividly remember a Mother’s day a few years ago when I forgot to my Mom a gift the night before so I thought it was a great idea to make her sticky buns for the next morning at 11:30 pm. It was all going pretty well until I put them in the oven and fell asleep somehow, needless to say I woke up two hours later after I smelled something burning.

My mom woke up and asked me what that smell was, at least she appreciated the effort! It took me about an hour to clean up and on Mother’s Day morning I went to the local supermarket and bought sticky buns. It’s clear that making sticky buns is not my happy memory for me, until now. Yes friends, the French Toast Rollups are back in action, and these are the best yet!

Sticky Bun French Toast Rollups are my favorite kind of French Toast Rollup, sticky bun filling rolled up in bread and then dipped in egg wash and pan-fried in a skillet, then topped with honey or rolled in cinnamon-sugar.

Now if you think that sounds and looks amazing, wait until you try it! After one bite, you’ll never want regular french toast again. You can thank me later!
