White Chocolate Cranberry Scones (Gluten Free)
Listen to me when I say this: these scones are everything you need in your life. They are sweet, moist, and surprisingly healthy. There are 5 main ingredients, and they take 10 minutes to make, and 10 minutes to bake. When you think of scones, you think of carbs and butter. You will be shocked to find out that these scones have no regular flour, no butter, and are made with raw honey. The almond flour in this recipe is blood sugar balancing, and bonus, makes it gluten free. The eggs give it that fluff and moisture that is needed. White chocolate chips provide a crunchy sweetness. The honey is…
Homemade Healthy Grain Free Granola
It is 2022 and everyone is looking to start eating healthy. You are finishing off the last of those gingerbread cookies, licking that last candy cane, and resolving to eat “better” this year. My wish for everyone is that this year is not the year of fad diets, purges, and “cutting out sugar”, but that living a healthy lifestyle, means eating more fruits, veggies, and good protein. This doesn’t mean you have to cut things out completely, or cut back on carbs and sugars. I think it means making wiser decisions in every day life. Eating healthy can be fun and flavorful, it doesn’t have to be boring or be…
Gluten & Dairy Free Healthy Breakfast Sandwich (w/ green avocado sauce)
This is a delicious and deletable breakfast sandwich that I recently starting making, and it has quickly become a favorite lunch or breakfast meal in my household. It has lots of protein (bacon, eggs), flavor, and as far as breakfast Sammys go, healthy! No gluten, no dairy, and lower fat (because of the turkey bacon) I currently cannot have pork or beef, due to a health issue I had awhile back, so I eat turkey bacon and turkey sausage. I found out how to to make my own hash-browns when I was on the Whole 30 and couldn’t find any frozen premade hash-browns that didn’t have any sugar in them.…
Gluten Free Silver Dollar Pancakes
Happy Monday! These silver dollar pancakes are SO cute and tasty. They are perfect for adults and kids will love them. They are made with almond flour and almond milk, making them gluten and dairy free. They also have honey as the sweetener, making it even better for you. I like these pancakes because the ingredients are simple, it takes 5 minutes to make the batter, and you can just throw all the ingredients in a bowl and mix! Couldn’t be easier. You can also substitute maple syrup in the pancakes if you don’t have honey. They are a great breakfast item that you can pair with scrambled eggs, bacon,…
Whole 30 Banana Muffins
(Gluten, Dairy, and Sugar-Free)Hey there friends! I am almost done with the Whole 30, I have 5 days left. I am in the home stretch! It has been difficult, but I am definitely feeling good. I have energy, my blood sugar has been more stable, my skin is clear, and I have even lost a few pounds. My best friend’s mom came to visit us a few weeks ago, and she shared with me a great muffin recipe she had found and modified. She had done the Whole 30 previously this year and these muffins were a life saver for her sweet cravings. I asked her if I could try the recipe, I…
Homemade Crepes with Fresh Strawberries and Lemon Juice
This is a recipe I am super stoked to be sharing with you guys. These crepes have been in my family for a long time. I am releasing this super secret family recipe with you because it needs to be SHARED! It is subtly sweet, tasty, and perfect. It is extremely simple and hard to mess up. The crepe recipe is literally five ingredients that most people have in their fridge and pantry. Milk, butter, eggs, flour, and sugar. It cannot get easier than that. I used a food processor to make mine this time, but normally a blender works just fine. My blender is broken however, so that is…
Moist Almond Poppy Seed Muffins (Refined Sugar-Free)
I am a huge fan of eating baked goods, pastries, bagel, etc. for snacks. Yes, it isn’t the healthiest, but carbs just taste SO good sometimes. In the afternoon, when I am getting the munchies, and I am heading out the door running my last errand of the day, and I know I will be hungry and peckish soon, I love grabbing an apple, some cheese, and maybe a handful of trail mix. But occasionally, it is just easier and more fun to grab a good ol’ baked good. I love grabbing a muffin on the way out, and just eating it, in the car, possibly getting crumbs everywhere. I…
The Best Blueberry Crumb Cake
This easy and simple blueberry crumb cake is so moist, fresh, and the streusel on top makes it completely crumble in your mouth. The fresh blueberries bring a perfect zesty finish. This cake is perfect for a breakfast treat (who said you can’t have cake for breakfast?), a dessert, or have them as a mid day snack with a cappuccino or some creamy milk. It is similar to coffee cake because of the cinnamon crumb mixture on top, but the flavor is different, since the blueberries are added. The lemon zest, gives it the acid it needs to balance out the sweetness. The vanilla and almond extract gives it a…
Easy Gluten-Free Cinnamon Coffee Cake
So I wanna give a quick backstory on how I came up with this Gluten-Free Cinnamon Coffee Cake recipe 🙂 When I was 15 years old, I found out that I was gluten intolerant. It was 2006, and there weren’t many options for gluten free items. I ate a lot of rice cakes, popcorn, and plantain chips. Gluten free flour consisted of either almond flour or coconut flour. It was boring and it sucked. But luckily, today in 2020, we have SO many options for gluten free items. It is amazing what they have been able to come up with. Gluten-free no longer means, boring and bland. It also does…
Gluten and Dairy Free Churro Waffles
Not only are these waffles, soft, delectable, and sweet, they are Paleo approved AND dairy/gluten free! Although these are dessert type waffles, you can have them for breakfast, brunch, or even an afternoon snack! I would also suggest serving them at parties like baby showers, bridal showers, or even a breakfast themed birthday party! These waffles can be topped with 100% pure maple syrup or fresh berries and ghee. The texture is fantastic, the batter is a normal consistency, and they taste great. These will not let you down. Also, these waffles were featured in a Buzzfeed article as well, which is super fun. If you wanna check it out,…
