NOTE: There is an updated version (sweeter, fudgier, better texture) here: Fudgy Plantain Brownies 2.0 This post is all about chocolate. I absolutely adore chocolate. The darker, the better. I’ve noticed that the longer I eat paleo/low sugar, the more sensitive my tastebuds are to sweetness. Instead of coffee (which makes me…
Strawberry Shortcake Paleo Pancakes
I have the best memories of Mom’s strawberry shortcake pancakes. She would whip up her amazing, fluffy, whole wheat pancakes, and then she would top them with fresh sliced strawberries and whipped cream. She only made it in springtime because that’s when strawberries are on sale. I always knew it was spring when Mom…
Paleo Banana Mug Cake
Happy Easter everyone! Sorry the blog has been a bit slow lately; I’ve been hard at work on the cookbook! I am obsessed with mug muffins. I really feel like there is no end to what you can do with them. They also have healthy protein and fat from the egg, so they’re fairly nutritious. …
Spiced Paleo Pear Muffins With Crumb Topping
Sometimes an idea for a recipe just jumps into my head. We had these beautiful red pears in our fruit basket, and they were at the peak of ripeness. I thought they would be just fabulous in a spiced muffin. I was right! These fine-textured muffins are full of spices like cinnamon and sweet…

Chestnut Flour Muffin
We have discovered another amazing grain-free flour: chestnut flour! Made from starchy chestnuts, it’s easy to use and has a slightly sweet, whole-wheatish (that’s totally a word) flavor that makes this bread taste so much like real bread that you’ll wonder if there’s wheat in it (but there isn’t)! This muffin is great with breakfast…

Chocolate Orange Paleo Brownie Mounds
I had the hardest time naming this recipe. I was originally aiming for a chocolate-coconut pavlova with raspberries, but the result of my pavlova attempt was too substantial to be called a pavlova. Then I realized that we didn’t have any raspberies! So I made lemonade out of lemons and recalled that oranges and chocolate…
Paleo Coffee Cake with Cinnamon Swirl
Ever wonder if it’s possible to make a healthy cinnamon roll? I did. I looked up recipes and even concocted one of my own, but it was a lot of work and left a lot to be desired when it came to flavor. Then, it hit me. Why not make a plain cake with a…
Paleo Strawberry Shortcake
I think this may be one of the best desserts I’ve ever created. The shortcake is moist and delicious, perfectly complemented by the whipped cream and strawberries. Julia had two huge pieces, Mom raved, Clint lapped his up, while even Dad, who doesn’t eat coconut flour as a rule, liked it. The cool thing about…
