Warm and juicy baked apples contain all the delicious flavors of apple pie, stuffed into a convenient package. This recipe is a fun way to enjoy the wonderful flavors of apple pie without all the fuss.

The natural gooey, sweet flavor of dates is complemented beautifully by creamy, slightly tangy goat cheese. Topped with a sprinkling of ground pecans, each bite is like a slice of pecan pie with cream . . . delicious!

The roasted, salty flavor of pistachios surrounded by deep, smooth, dark chocolate will have your palate dancing. The flavors complement each other beautifully with the perfect mix of salty, sweet, and just the right amount of crunch.

Fresh lemon fills every bite of these vanilla muffins. The golden batter with tiny black freckles throughout, contains the warm, sweet flavor of vanilla, and is accented with a fresh burst of lemon. Enjoy these with a hot cup of tea.

Coffee ice cream was my favorite flavor from the time I was very small. With this recipe, we successfully recreated the deep creamy flavor of coffee in a custard-like ice cream. This recipe brought back all the memories of enjoying coffee ice cream growing up.

With pumpkins in season, October is perfect for enjoying fresh pumpkin ice cream. This delicious treat is like a scoop of frozen pumpkin pie, especially when topped with chopped pecans and a dusting of cinnamon.

Chocolate pudding pie was always served at Thanksgiving by my Grandma Jo. This pie is my dad’s favorite, and we created our version especially for him, for his birthday. He loved every bite!

When you’re looking for a sweet-something to treat yourself, few dessert options have that “je ne sais quoi” like cheesecake. On a scale of one to ten on the cheat-o-meter, this is pretty much an eleven. We’re not saying to avoid this recipe, just find many friends to share it with.

In Pittsburgh there is a bakery known for its Burnt Almond Torte cake. This is a light and fluffy two-layer cake with a middle layer of creamy custard. The frosting is a lightly whipped vanilla frosting, all topped with toasted almonds. We recreated that amazing dessert by filling vanilla coconut flour cupcakes with coconut vanilla custard, topped with vanilla frosting and toasted almonds.

Chocolate and raspberry mini muffins are tasty and adorable! We enjoyed making these mini muffins together over Valentine’s Day. Mini chocolate chips and raspberries fill every bite, nestled in a bed of spongy vanilla cake batter. Your special valentine will be sure to say “be mine” after a bite of these cuties!

I am a complete sucker for chocolate ice cream . . . all things chocolate actually. This flavor already has the chocolate thing going for it, but is enhanced even further with the addition of delicious, creamy almond butter.

My sister’s favorite ice cream flavor has always been chocolate chip cookie dough. This flavor was often to be found in our freezer growing up. We knew this recipe was a winner when my sister quipped, after tasting it, that she’d like to be paid “in cookie dough.”

There is something really wonderful about the texture of frozen, yet soft, cream with the crunch of chocolate throughout. The crisp, refreshing peppermint ice cream is complimented beautifully by the deep tones of the dark chocolate chips.


Coconut macaroons bring a taste of the tropics to your dessert plate. With the addition of fresh vanilla bean to this recipe, you will enjoy a hint of vanilla in every bite of coconut.

As far back as I can remember, my mother has asked for a carrot cake for her birthday. This past year, we surprised her with a grain-free version, which was a huge hit. After sharing this recipe on our website, we received feedback from many followers that this was not only a great grain-free substitute, but the best carrot cake they've ever had!

If you have never thought to add crisp, smoky bacon to a sweet treat, think again! This recipe came to us upon request, and although we thought it odd at first, they quickly came to be our favorite grain-free treat yet. When bacon is in the mix, you really can't go wrong!

Birthdays come just once a year (for better or worse). This grain-free cake is a decadent way to celebrate growing a year older without fully going off the wagon. The chocolate ganache, which is kind of like a hard chocolate shell around the cake, brings an interesting texture to the cake.

Gingerbread cookies are a favorite holiday treat of mine that I’ve enjoyed my whole life. The crisp, yet chewy texture of our cookies is a perfect analogue to conventional recipes. We’ve shared these with non-paleo family members, and they have been given unanimous approval.
