Paleo Dessert Recipes

With 4 different flavors to choose from, these pudding pops are tastier and healthier than the store-bought version. No dairy, cornstarch, or refined sugar.

Dairy-free yogurt options at the store have all sorts of strange and potentially dangerous ingredients (carrageenan, anybody?), and make a true dairy-free yogurt at home is expensive and time-consuming. This instant “yogurt” uses only 7 basic ingredients and is ready in under 5 minutes.

While not strict paleo (this recipe uses actual white rice), it’s the perfect way to enjoy a classic holiday favorite without all the dairy and sugar. Coconut milk, cashew milk, and pure maple syrup combine to make a perfectly creamy dessert.

Our family is always on the go, so finding so finding ways to stay nourished while we’re off on an adventure is important. These little cookies are the perfect mix of soft, chewy, crunchy, and chocolatey. Perfect for a hike in the mountains.

Eggnog is a holiday season staple for most people, but for those of us with sensitivities to dairy, it’s not. There are plenty of dairy-free options in most grocery stores, but they are filled with thickeners like carrageenan which have other negative effects on the body. Why do that to yourself when making it it home is so easy and tastes better than anything store-bought?

For personal reasons, we don’t drink coffee, though we do enjoy the occasional mug of herbal tea (mmm, peppermint is our favorite). I kept hearing about butter coffee, but since coffee’s not my thing, I never tried it, even though I love me some butter. I’m also not wild about large amounts of caffeine, so when I heard about brewing chocolate, which is naturally low in caffeine, I perked up a bit {see what I did there?}.

Why buy almond butter in the store when you can make it at home? It tastes better and you control the ingredients. I mean, this is white chocolate almond butter! Way better than anything you’ll find in the store, trust me.

These nut-free, grain-free, egg-free perfect paleo chocolate chip cookies will be the best cookies you’ve ever eaten. Period.

This will be crunchiest best grain-free granola I’ve had. While you can douse this granola in either coconut milk or almond milk, chocolate almond milk is actually our family’s preference. Topped with fresh berries, this is my favorite non-egg breakfast. And maybe my favorite late-night snack.

Plain ol’ Banana Bread is fantastic in it’s own right, but add coconut and lime to the mix, and you have a new combo of flavors that blows the ‘plain ol’ right out of the water. If you’ve never ventured beyond the bounds of standard banana bread, I suggest you try it now…
