Buckwheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

I find it SO hard to exercise any level of self-restraint when faced with a freshly-baked batch of cookies. The luring aroma, the melted chocolate chunks, the appeal of biting into a warm cookie paired with a cold glass of almond milk or a warm, foamy latte is to me, one of the greatest simple pleasures in this life. These cookies offer a healthier spin on the classic chocolate chip variety; made with naturally-gluten free buckwheat flour and sweetened with coconut sugar- you will love the taste and texture!

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Energy Bites!

I wanted to try some bliss balls with benefits; and these cookie dough energy bites are just that. They have the goodness of old-fashioned rolled oats, ground flax seed meal, dairy-free dark chocolate chips, creamy (all-natural) peanut butter and a tiny dash of raw agave and coconut or MCT oil for some healthy fat action. Oh and they DO taste like raw peanut butter cookie dough. Win-win? 😉

Deliciously Healthy Apple Crisp

I have a well-known penchant for ALL desserts that involve baked apples. Simply said, there’s a very special place in my baker’s heart for apple pie, apple crisp, apple tarts, apple muffins… you name it! the list goes on… and on! There’s nothing better than the dispersing smell of warm, cinnamon-dusted apples, with a little nutmeg sprinkle. I wish I could bottle up that scent and share it with you all. They should totally make apple pie scented candles, I am 100% behind that.

Easy Chickpea Flour Banana Bread

OK: as weird as this combo may sound; don’t let that deter you from trying this. You are literally 7 ingredients away from some of the best banana bread of your life. Take it from this banana bread monster (AKA: connoisseur) 😉 I have tried baking brownies with canned chickpeas; but this one is completely different. Like, totally different texture altogether. Say H-E-L-L-O to chickpea (or fava) flour! It’s super affordable and naturally gluten-free. It looks like a light, yellow-ish flour; somewhat similar to cornmeal. It’s not dense nor will your baked goods feel heavy, either.

S’mores Skillet Cookie (paleo, dairy-free + gluten-free)

Is there anything better than a gooey, melt-in-your-mouth ginormous chocolate chip cake-like cookie?! Nope… I didn’t think so. Unless (of course) you can make it yourself; with ALL clean ingredients and minimal prep time. Double WIN. This, my friends, is the answer to all your dessert dreams. One-bowl, minimal mess, and a foolproof recipe!
