10 healthy gluten-free desserts
1. Crunchy Chocolate Bars with Almond Butter
These Almond Butter Crunchy Chocolate Bars are a quick, healthy and delicious gluten-free dessert or treat idea. They require all gluten-free ingredients, only require 10 minutes of active preparation, and can easily be modified for my vegan friends.
2. Brownies with collagen protein
These gluten and dairy free brownies are packed with protein and healthy fats. They make an awesome healthy dessert and have a pointy texture. You will love them!
3. Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Cookie Cake
Someone say gluten-free cake!? This healthy COOKIE has a bonus dose of protein and healthy fats. It uses rice flour instead of regular or gluten-free all-purpose flour, so it’s much lighter than a flourless chocolate cake! It’s gluten-free, low-sugar, and… it’s a cookie cake. Well, you need this.
4. Crispy Chocolate Strawberry Truffles
Everything about these truffles is perfect: they’re crunchy, sweet and they taste super decadent – even though they’re pretty low in sugar.
5. Gluten-free chocolate chip cookies with avocado oil
Avocado oil gave these cookies a light, beautiful texture (they’re perfectly soft and chewy), plus a dose of heart-healthy fat, while brown sugar ensures they’re plenty sweet. These cookies take about 10 minutes to put together and are kid-approved.
6. 4-Samoan ingredients via Eating Bird Food
