I decided to put a summer spin on the usual indulgent, comforting, classic coffee cake with the addition of zucchini! Made with coconut butter instead of dairy butter or oil, this treat has the same nostalgic scent and taste as the classic but with whole food ingredients. Of course the best part is the buttery, cinnamon-heavy streusel and I find that almond meal and maple syrup are an amazing pair for creating the perfect topping! […]

My goal with this Berry Crisp Ice Cream Pie was to capture all my favorite desserts into one delectable no-bake treat. At the first sign of warm temps and sunshine this Spring, I prepared my ice cream machine, stocked up on berries + ordered my favorite small-batch Paleo granola perfect for all the no-bake cookie crust/crumbles/bites I’m dreaming up for the coming months.   (Fun Fact: June is Paleo Month!)

(Anyone else have extremely fond memories of eating cinnamon toast on white sandwich bread?!) And when you have a bunch of bananas staring at you on the counter, you […]

That’s why I worked long and hard to create a healthier cookie that still checks all the boxes for being delish!!!  A few key ingredients for a […]

After lots of love on Instagram and Facebook I am finally sharing the official recipe for this healthyish yet super decadent tiramisu torte! Confession: Although I love the flavors of tiramisu I dislike how the texture and layers become very “muddy” and become one homogenous mess despite all the work that goes into each component. So I dreamt up this torte with more firm and distinct layers that also cuts and photographs so well! Each […]
