12 Healthy and Unique Dessert Recipes for National Dessert Day!
A few weeks ago it was National Cupcake Week. Cupcakes for a week? Yes. YES.
October 14th – National Dessert Day. Does a day get any better than this?
The only official way to celebrate National Dessert Day is to actually make, eat and enjoy dessert of some kind.
After browsing through my LONG list of dessert recipes, found here on Whatrunslori.com, I have consolidated some of my favorites… I love all my dessert recipes but sometimes you’ve gotta pick a favorite… Even if some do contain vodka. Especially if…
In order to fully aid and abet this incredibly weird and impractical, made up but totally awesome day, here are 12 healthy, unique and totally delicious dessert recipes.
Drool on…
Raw Paleo Vanilla & Matcha Green Tea Macaroons
With all the fat-fighting power that coconut oil possesses, healthy fats, no refined sugars, no white flour, sugar, gluten, JUNK, you’ll never have to feel guilty about enjoying dessert again.
Paleo Sweet Potato Gingerbread Bars
In the spirit of warm, comforting foods making their way into Fall days, gingerbread spices, pumpkin puree, sweet potato, and coconut flour totally hit the spot. These Paleo Sweet Potato Gingerbread Bars are moist, delicious, low sugar, also low-glycemic, high in fiber, low in fat, sweetly spiced, and dotted with mini dairy-free chocolate chips.
Paleo Blueberry Vanilla Cream Parfait
This parfait is unlike other parfaits. This one is made with only raw ingredients, contains no artificial junk, no gluten, no dairy, no refined sugars, and is actually healthy for you. And delicious.
And it’s pretty.
Raw & Paleo Chocolate Frosted Brownies
Rich, delicious, decadent, and actually healthy dessert. You cannot beat this recipe.
Banana Bread Fit Bites
Enjoy this simple recipe filled with all natural ingredients, raw nutrients, and a delicious flavor-filled combination. The perfect recipe to replenish any muscle needing energy (fuel your workout!).
Flourless Primal Pumpkin Almond Brownies
Now you can have all a brownie that won’t make you feel guilty, won’t add pounds to that frame, won’t tell you any nutritional lies. The only lies this brownie may insinuate is that it’s filled with sugar, flour, blah! Nope. It’s just pretty damn good… and healthy!
Rich, delicious, decadent, ooey, gooey, GOOD. But don’t let those naughty thoughts go to your head… it’s just a brownie.
Raw & Paleo Pumpkin Spiced Carrot Cake with Walnut Pumpkin Frosting
This Pumpkin Carrot Cake was made in cute little pumpkin-shaped cookie cutters for single serving pumpkin “slices.” Easy to make, fun to eat, and delicious in taste. And so, so cute!
Vodka Induced Fudge
If there is anything in this world that is better than chocolate and booze, I’d really like to know. Chocolate really does pair harmoniously with vanilla… in vodka form.
Low-Sugar Spelt Chocolate Chip Cookies
When I want a cookie, I want a cookie! When I get that cookie, I try to make sure I feel great about it because it’s usually homemade, gooey, low sugar, soooo good, and added with love (<–it really is the secret ingredient in everything, ya know). Made with spelt flour, coconut flour, raw honey, and chia seeds, these chocolate chip cookies are a secret ingredient to eating those healthy desserts.
Paleo Peach Coffee Cake with Coconut Crumble Topping
This coffee cake bakes up perfectly for a morning treat, an afternoon snack, post-dinner/post-workout dessert. It’s slightly sweet, perfectly moist, crunchy on top but soft and fluffy inside.
Open-Faced Oreo-Nut Cookies (Raw & Paleo)
With a Reece’s Peanut Butter Cup influence, how can you not want to make these healthy oreo cookies?
Sexy California Mud Pie
Delicious, vegan, Paleo, uncooked (raw!), nutritious, easy, filling, decadent, yummy, the list could just go on and on… Do you need another reason to make this Sexy California Mud Pie?
