Love, love, love this recipe.  These are the most amazing cookie ever. I don’t feel deprived at all, as they are so moist and delicious.  This recipe is from The Urban Poser and has become a favorite holiday cookie at my house.  I usually double the recipe, as they don’t last long at my house.

This is another tasty cookie, so easy to make.  You can always sprinkle with a little coconut or regular sugar. too.  I like the cookies with palm shortening but feel free to use ghee or coconut oil.

Avocado Mousse

This is a sweet treat that will take you by surprise.  It is rich and silky smooth.  It is actually a pretty healthy treat but does have honey and maple syrup.  Experiment with the recipe and decrease the sweeteners to your taste.  It is hard to believe that  there are monounsaturated good fats in this delicious recipe.  Top with coconut cream for an extra punch.

This is a hearty, very moist muffin that you can enjoy for breakfast or a snack. It is loaded with fiber from the almond flour and coconut.  The muffins are best eaten warm with a little bit of honey drizzled over the top.

Choco Pumpkin Bars

Choco Pumpkin Bars

This paleo bar is so moist and with the hint of chocolate it is decadent. I have even made this recipe as muffins. If you want a shortcut, add 2 1/2 t. of pumpkin spice and forget the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.  My recipes are always dairy and gluten free.
