Going Paleo means kissing goodbye to gluten-filled grains, refined sugars, dairy, and countless other not-so-good-for-you ingredients typically found in popular desserts.
The good news? You don’t have to completely eliminate desserts from your life; just find ways to use whole food ingredients to create delectable, and, dare we say, better than the original, treats.
We’re talking homemade candies like white chocolate, keto-friendly truffles, Paleo peppermint patties, Girl Scout cookie-inspired truffles, and more.
More of a sweet bar fan? We’ve got several of those too, from simple almond butter blondies to chocolate chip blondies, salted caramel brownies, cheesecake bars, and raspberry crumb bars.
Cakes and cookies abound also, including ooey-gooey chocolate lava cake, and simple and quick almond butter cookies. If you’re looking for something more unique, you’ll find Paleo monkey bread and cinnamon roll apple pie.
Whatever sweet craving strikes your fancy, we bet there’s a recipe here for you.
