3-Ingredient Guilt-Free Brownies

3-Ingredient Guilt-Free Brownies

This post is sponsored by Blue Diamond Almonds. I was compensated and all opinions are 100% my own.

These no-bake brownies are vegan and gluten free and made with just 3-ingredients. The best part is- they only take 5 minutes to make! 

3-Ingredient Guilt-Free Brownies #glutenfree #vegan

No-bake recipes are actually the best thing ever. Especially ones that are date based! Fun fact: I think dates are gross plain, but adore them mixed with other ingredients. It’s like tomatoes and ketchup. I used to HATE tomatoes, but love ketchup. #theworldmayneverknow

I was really excited with I got Blue Diamond’s latest flavors in the mail: Honey Roasted Chipotle and Honey Roasted Vanilla. I struggled using them in a recipe because I actually almost ate both cans before I even started in the kitchen. #oops #toogoodtoputdown

Random side-note- I remember when I first met Blake almost 3 years ago…he didn’t know what a hashtag was Today, I find myself talking in hashtags more and more. Best part is…Blake does it too now!

3-Ingredient Guilt-Free Brownies #glutenfree #vegan

GUILT-FREE) GOOD.

 Made with only three ingredients, too!

You could add additional flavors too like….vanilla, sea salt, chocolate chips, shredded coconut, seeds, etc! 

3-Ingredient Guilt-Free Brownies #glutenfree #vegan

You could totally try subbing the cocoa powder for chocolate protein powder to boost the protein content in this recipe…or even do half and half! 

Storage tip: I like to keep these in a tupperware in my freezer. I put them on a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper, freeze them, and then transfer them to the tupperware. They will last longer if you do this, plus I think they taste better frozen…but that’s just my opinion! 

3-Ingredient Guilt-Free Brownies #glutenfree #vegan

 Like I said before, this recipe would be delicious with any of Blue Diamond’s almond variations (especially the mocha or honey roasted!).

Cheers to healthy, no-bake desserts!

Grain-Free Protein Peanut Butter Cookies

Grain-Free Protein Peanut Butter Cookies

It just hit me that I’m only going to be able to run/walk/frolic outside for a few more months (comfortably). I really do enjoy running to the gym, lifting, and running back. Or taking a last minute stroll around Lake Harriet after dinner. I’d say summertime is the #1 reason why I love Minnesota. Winter is the #1 reason why I dislike (majorly) Minnesota.

Speaking of running to the gym. I have an awesome workout coming up later this week that I did last week I’m still sore. #toomanyreps

Grain-Free Protein Peanut Butter Cookies #healthy #glutenfree

That workout is what sparked me to make some cookies that are protein-packed. This girl loves her pb cookies…why not add a few protein shots to make the cookie worth while! 

So I have a confession. I know I am suppose to be this “fit foodie,” but I have a huge thing for Jiff All Natural Peanut Butter. Ra ra ra ra you can tell me that it has bad stuff for you in it (and I know that!), but it’s what I grew up on! I LOVE IT and no one is going to change my mind! #momslikeyouchoosejif

I’m not even a mom and I choose Jif. 

Grain-Free Protein Peanut Butter Cookies #healthy #glutenfree

This recipe is a spin off of my Grain-Free Peanut Butter Cookies I made last year. Those were good, but these are better Just saying. If you want- you can always mix the two together and add in some chocolate chips

Grain-Free Protein Peanut Butter Cookies #healthy #glutenfree

Ingredients for Grain-Free Protein Peanut Butter Cookies

  • peanut butter
  • coconut sugar
  • egg
  • vanilla protein powder

I’m savoring these bad boys. I ate one of them right away and put the rest in a zip lock bag and into the freezer. That way. I don’t eat the entire batch in one day! It really does work. I still have some 3-Ingredient Brownies left Good thing Blake rarely goes in the freezer. All for me none for him.

Single Serve Maple Pistachio Cinnamon Roll

This delicious, single serve cinnamon roll is gluten-free and vegan, filled with flavor, and made in less than 2 minutes!

Skinny Single-Serve Maple Pistachio Cinnamon Roll #vegan #glutenfree

Soooo I just started book three of 50 Shades of Grey. GAHHHHHH! I listened to book 1 while at Mountain Trek, finished Book 2 a few weekends ago in Kansas, and just started numero tres. It’s one of those books that I just can’t put down. I  even listen to it while I’m working out or in the car…and giggle to myself when I do. If only people knew the kinkyness coming out of my headphones

I’ve never been much of a reader…or writer for that matter. The sister got those traits. Audiobooks are my new bff…I can multitask and read at the same time!

Skinny Single-Serve Maple Pistachio Cinnamon Roll #vegan #glutenfree

So this cinnamon roll.

No words. 

It’s so easy to make and only takes like 90 seconds! Did I mention it’s refined sugar free, gluten-free, and vegan?! #winning Mega winning.

Skinny Single-Serve Maple Pistachio Cinnamon Roll #vegan #glutenfree

I made a handy dandy image of how to make this baby.

Ingredients for Single Serve Maple Pistachio Cinnamon Roll

  • flour
  • baking powder
  • coconut palm sugar
  • cinnamon
  • pistachio nuts
  • maple syrup
  • applesauce
  • coconut oil
  • almond milk

It really is a lot easier than it looks! The best part is, it doesn’t have to be perfect because you’re just going to devour it the instant it comes out of the microwave

Skinny Single-Serve Maple Pistachio Cinnamon Roll #vegan #glutenfree

If you want to use your oven to bake this guy- I suggest using a ramekin. I did not try it this way myself, but I would guess around 18-20 minutes at 350ºF.

Almond Butter Sea Salt Cups

Almond Butter Sea Salt Cups

Almond Butter Sea Salt Cups

Yes. Yes, you read that correctly. Almond Buter + Sea Salt + Dark Chocolate.

HEAVEN.

With the Pinterest success of my first Healthy Peanut Butter Cup recipe…I thought I would give it a mini twist. This recipe is a litte bit different. I didn’t use any coconut oil and I used actual dark chocolate.

It’s pretty simple to make and uses minimal ingredients. Feel free to add a touch of honey or maple syrup to your almond butter if you like it a little bit sweeter.

Almond Butter Sea Salt Cups

I filled mine about 3/4 of the way and sprinkled just a few pieces of sea salt on top. It really brings out the chocolately flavor!

Almond Butter Sea Salt Cups

It only took about 15 minutes for my cups to harden.

Almond Butter Sea Salt Cups

If you eat them right away, the almond butter should still be drippy on the inside. If you let them sit in the freezer for an hour or longer, then the almond butter will be frozen.You should be fine to store them in an air tight container in a dark, cooler place in order to have the almond butter stay melty. I kind of like it frozen though

And before I let you carry on with your beautiful Monday night: meet my Monday night Yoga Sculpt Crew…

These gals (and guy) are why I do what I do. I look forward to my Monday night class because I know I will get to spend time with them. I’ve gotten to know each and every one of them and couldn’t be more proud of how far they have come! They inspire me every Monday to keep teaching and doing good for my body.

Namaste.

Maple Sesame Cashew Butter Cups

These maple sesame cashew butter cups are the perfect homemade, healthy treat. Best part is, all you need are a few ingredients! 

Maple Sesame Cashew Butter Cups a paleo, vegan, gluten-free homemade treat!

Who needs Halloween candy when you can make your own! However, I do have a thing for red Dots and yellow Starbursts. Only the red and yellow, though. It’s like the worst day ever when I get 2 green Dots…yick.

I got today’s glorious recipe idea from a few readers who commented how delicious my Maple Sesame Cashews would as a nut butter. Ga Ga Ga Genius.

Maple Sesame Cashew Butter Cups a paleo, vegan, gluten-free homemade treat!

A few months back, I did a similar butter cup recipe…Almond Butter Sea Salt. Those lasted about 2 days. #eatallthechocolate

Ingredients for Maple Sesame Cashew Butter Cups

  • Maple Sesame Roasted Cashews
  • coconut oil
  • chocolate chips
  • Sesame Seeds

All you need are 2 ingredients…why wouldn’t you make your own butter cups?!

Melted chocolate + cashew butter + melted chocolate.

I feel like this would be a great project to make with kids. They can help you melt the chocolate and pour it into cups, add the nut butter, and top it with more chocolate. It may get a little messy, but it’s all in good fun!

Plus- it only needs to sit in the freezer for like 10 minutes and the chocolate magically hardens.

Hey gluten-free, paleo, dairy-free friends…these cookies are for you! 

One of my favorite things to do in the kitchen is to take a classic and make it healthy! I have a wee obsession with almond and cashew meal and LOVE baking with it! Fun Fact- Most of the recipes in my Single Serve Dessert E-Cookbook are made with a nut flour! 

Healthy Thumbprint Cookies Chocolate Pistachio

How gorgeous are those pistachios?! I love pistachios…almost as much as peanut butter.

But seriously nothing can get between me and peanut butter.

  • cashew meal
  • cocoa powder
  • coconut palm sugar
  • baking powder
  • egg
  • coconut oil
  • vanilla
  • pistachio nuts

UNLESS you go to Israel for 10 days and peanut butter is nowhere to be found.  I was literally having withdrawals. They had tahini galore….but the peanut butter was scarce.

The icing on the cake for these cookies was the sprinkle of sea salt on the chocolate glob. HUBBA HUBBA. 

PS: I used the last of my Homemade Vegan Chocolate Chips for part of these! Boom-shaka-laka.

Save Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cashew meal
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ⅓ cup coconut palm sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil, partially melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ⅓ cup pistachio nuts, raw
  • ⅔ cups dairy-free chocolate chips
  • Himalayan sea salt

Instructions

  1. First, preheat oven to 350ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place all the wet ingredients in a large bowl and mix (minus coconut oil). Then, add in dry and mix until combined. Then, add coconut oil (you add it last so that the coconut oil doesn’t harden). It should be very similar to classic cookie dough consistency. Set aside.
  3. Prep pistachio nuts, but finely chopping. Place into a bowl.
  4. Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of dough. Roll into a ball. Then, roll into chopped pistachio nuts making sure 3 of the 4 sides are covered. You will have to apply slight pressure to make sure the nuts stick!
  5. Place cookie on baking sheet. Then, using your thumb, press in the middle of the cookie to create your thumbprint. Repeat
  6. Bake at 350º for 10-12 minutes.
  7. Once the cookies come out of the oven, you may need to re-thumbprint the cookies to make sure the impression is deep enough. Let cool for about 10-15 minutes.
  8. To create the chocolate center. Melt about ⅔ cups of dairy-free chocolate chips. Spoon about 2 teaspoons into the center of each cookie. Then, sprinkle on some sea salt.
  9. Place in freezer for about 20 minutes to let the chocolate set. EAT!
