  On Monday I shared ten paleo lemon treats ( cookies, cakes, and bars) and today I wanted to share one more that has quicky become my favorite. I found this recipe for Paleo lemon brownies through pinterest. I modified it a little to make it dairy free because my husband doesn't tolerate butter. Below are the ingredients I used: Ingredients 1/4 cup almond flour 1/4 cup tapioca flour 1/4 cup coconut flour 1/3 cup honey 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup coconut oil melted 2 eggs 2 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest 2 Tablespoons lemon juice (juice of half a lemon) For the glaze 2 Tablespoons coconut oil 2 Tablespoons honey 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon lemon zest Pinch of salt I followed the directions in the original recipe with the exception of one thing: I did not use my food processor or electric mixer. I stirred everything by hand. They still came out great! (I find it easier to wash a spoon than the mixers or blades to the processor and I could use the exerc

Even though lemons can be in season year round, something about spring and summer makes me want lemon flavored goodies this time of year. Before our diet change, one of my favorite candies was Lemon heads.

This post contains affiliate links. Last year my husband and I completed a Whole30 program and it made drastic and significant health changes for us. So much that we continue to eat this way about 80-90% of the time. We have a few off plan items now and then and occasionally eat gluten free grains like oatmeal and rice, but for the most part we follow the Whole30/ paleo protocol.   While on Whole30 you don’t make paleo substitutes for old foods, like muffins, but now that we are not on the strict version of the diet, we have paleo compliant muffins, waffles, pancakes, etc. One of my favorite go-to muffins as a breakfast or snack is this Post Workout Spice Muffin from Awkward Girl Gets Fit . We love them and our non-paleo friends and coworkers give them rave reviews. Post Work-Out Spice Muffins makes 10 3/4 cup butternut squash puree 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup 3 eggs 1 Tablespoon clarified butter or coconut oil, melted 1.5 cup blanched almond flour 1/3 teaspoon sea salt 3

Here are ten recipes that are paleo, gluten free, and or/dairy free. You can easily make them more compliant by substituting honey for sugar, almond milk for regular milk, and coconut oil for butter. I can't wait to try some of these.   Crockpot pumpkin oatmeal
