35 Paleo Cookie Recipes for Easter

By Julianna Pacinhik When I think about Easter cookies a few things come to mind. Bunny cutouts for sure, but also certain flavors of spring like carrot cake, citrus, coconut and chocolate (always chocolate). Cookies are an easy dessert that doesn’t have to be formal. You can have several different flavors to please a variety of guests. I always look forward to carrot cake and lemon desserts! There are an incredible amount of grain and refined sugar free options, its time to make holidays a little healthier! Easter cutouts and Nests Easter Basket Cookies (aip/paleo) Paleo Peeps (Raspberry and coconut lemon) Paleo…

Pumpkin Bread I Don’t Hate Myself for Gorging On

Whenever I bake a new treat I have the hardest time not devouring the entire thing myself (that’s not an exaggeration). If I love it, I’ll just keep eating it until it’s gone. As you can imagine, that’s not going to help me lose this baby weight any time soon. My advice:

Plus I don’t even feel guilty because it’s literally just some soy-free chocolate, almond butter, almond flour, vanilla and sea salt. When dessert is this healthy I’m totally cool with it ending up as meals 😉 The recipe is from Buzzfeed (thank you!!!), I…

Best. Brownies. Ever.

No really. I’ve made this recipe dozens of times for non-paleo family and friends and have yet to receive one even slightly negative comment. They’re also a delightfully unexpected lactation treat; I have more than enough milk whenever I eat them (which is often, for this very reason). I’ll bake a batch once a week and store them in a ziplock so I always have a delish and healthy chocolate treat ready when my sweet tooth kicks in (which, again, happens often). I even took a batch to the hospital when my baby was born because I knew we’d need…
