What You Need To Make These Simple Healthy Piña Colada Popsicles

  • Fresh or frozen pineapple
  • Unsweetened Coconut milk ( You can opt for full fat if you like)
  • Lime
  • Sea salt
  • Rum (I went with Malibu since it is Gluten free)
  • Cane sugar or agave/honey
  • Popsicle molds and popsicle sticks ( I ordered molds from Amazon and they came with the sticks)

How much alcohol is actually in these?

Since alcohol doesn’t freeze, there is less than 2 shots of alcohol in 12 of these popsicles.

So, each popsicle only has .14 of a shot of rum in it.

Can I add more alcohol?

I wouldn’t advise adding more than an additional Tablespoon of rum.

If you add too much, you risk the chance of your popsicles not freezing.

Ingredients

I used the popsicle molds from Amazon that came with popsicle sticks.

Gluten Free Single Serve Brownie

Gluten Free Single Serve Brownie

Sometimes the best things in life are just for you…and there isn’t anything wrong with that!

This fudgy and decadent gluten free brownie for one is simple to make and meant just for YOU!

What You Need To Make This Gluten Free Single Serve Brownie

  • Egg
  • Brown sugar
  • Cane sugar
  • Butter of choice
  • Vanilla extract
  • Gluten free all purpose flour (I used the King Arthur brand)
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Almond milk
  • Baking powder
  • Sea salt
  • Chocolate Chips

What Is The Perfect Dish?

To make the ideal brownie size I recommend using a small standard size ramekin.

Anything larger may alter the baking time, but it could work in a pinch you just have to keep that in mind.

How To Make The Perfect Fudgy Brownie

The key here is too slightly under bake the brownie. Additionally, a few extra chocolate chips may help achieve this as well.

How To Make A Cakey Brownie

To achieve a cakey texture you will do the opposite of above. You will bake the brownie until it is completely done. This allows the baking powder and flour to rise to its full peak.

What You Need To Make These Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

  • Creamy peanut butter (not natural, use something like Jif. A natural one likely won’t work
  • Light brown sugar
  • Granulated sugar
  • Egg
  • Sea salt
  • Baking soda

  • Reese’s minis

How To Make The Perfect Dough

  • Remember to freeze the dough for at least 30 minutes! By Freezing the dough it helps limit the spread of the cookie but also helps it form a more moldable dough to roll into balls.
Flourless Gluten Free Peanut Butter Reese's Cookie Cups

Also, be sure to not use natural peanut butter. The natural oils in natural peanut butter will yield a different texture. I suggest using White Chocolate Wonderful by Pb & Co or something like JiF or Peter Pan.

Hershey’s Kiss Variations

As with any recipe you can substitute the chocolate as you see fit and also ditch the mini muffin tin if you wish.

If you swap out the muffin tin trade it in for a cookie sheet and add Hershey’s kisses to the center.

Description

Simple and Yummy flourless peanut butter cookies that are wrapped in a chocolate and peanut butter Rees’s center. These are gluten free and made with less than 6 ingredients.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (use Jif or any non-natural Pb)
  • ½ cup light brown sugar + 3 tbsp for rolling cookies in
  • 1/4 cup granular sugar
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 24 mini Reese’s 

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a mini muffin tin baking sheet with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients, except for the mini Reese’s minis. 
  3. Store the bowl of dough in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  4. Using a cookie scooper (mine was about 1.5 Tbsps of dough) drop the dough into the mini muffin tin. If you don’t want the cookies to have as much of an overflow than you may roll the dough into 1 tablespoon.
  5. After rolling the dough into a ball roll it in a small bowl of the 3 Tbsps of sugar. Make sure the cookie is evenly coated.
  6. Bake at 350°F for 13-15 minutes. The cookies  should have little cracks in them and be slightly browned. 
  7. While the cookies are baking unwrap all of the mini Reese’s so they’re ready for when the cookies are done.
  8. When the cookies are done in the oven press a toothpick into a cookie to check if there is any uncooked dough is present. If the toothpick comes out clean the cookies are ready!
  9. Once the cookies are done baking quickly press a mini Reese’s on top. Allow cookies to cool for at least 10 minutes and enjoy!

Notes

These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. You can also store them in the freezer for 2 weeks to a month. Just be sure to let them defrost before enjoying.

Simple High-Protein 6 ingredient Gluten-Free Granola

Simple High-Protein 6 ingredient Gluten-Free Granola

This high-protein granola is super simple and requires ingredients you probably have in your pantry. It’s quick, simple, and of course perfectly sweet (using only natural sweeteners).

This gluten-free granola is also dairy-free and can easily be made vegan with a few substitutions.

Simple High-Protein 6 ingredient Gluten-Free Granola

What You Need For Healthy High-Protein Gluten-free Granola

  • Your favorite natural nut-butter (yes- we’re talking the drippy stuff- other peanut butter like Jif may not work since it has added ingredients that alters it’s texture)
  • Vegan plant-based butter of choice (I used Earth Balance)
  • Honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
  • Vanilla extract
  • Certified Gluten-Free rolled oats (I get mine from Trader Joe’s since they’re the cheapest)
  • Collagen peptides (omit for vegan)
  • Your Favorite Dairy-free (or vegan) Chocolate chips
  • Your favorite nuts (I used honey roasted peanuts)
  • Cinnamon
  • Sea Salt
Simple High-Protein 6 ingredient Gluten-Free Granola

How To Make That Perfect CRUNCH

  • Remember to flip! Both sides of the granola should be flipped half-way through. This makes the granola bake evenly, making both sides of the granola as crunchy as it can be!
  • Watch the oven! Granola can get burnt very easily if you take your eyes off of it or forget to flip it. Once you see the granola turn golden brown, give it a good flip!
  • Let the granola cool for at least 45 minutes. The granola hardens when it cools so this is a critical step!
Simple High-Protein 6 ingredient Gluten-Free Granola

A Note To Remember about Natural Granola

Since this is natural granola, it will not be as crunchy as the typical store brand that has sugar cane and other preservative ingredients.

Simple High-Protein 6 ingredient Gluten-Free Granola

  • Author: Aimee Wera
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 30 minutes
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 10 half-cup servings 1x
  • Category: Snack, Breakfast
  • Method: Bake
  • Diet: Gluten Free

Description

High-protein Gluten-Free Granola made with simple ingredients. This go-to recipe can be made in a snap!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp natural peanut butter (The drippy kind)
  • 2 tbsp melted vegan butter of choice ( I used the Earth Balance brand)
  • Heaping 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 cups Certified Gluten-Free rolled oats
  • 2 scoops of collagen (2 scoops = 2 servings for the collagen peptides I used)
  • 3/4 cup chopped honey-roasted peanuts 
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F and spray a large baking sheet with non-stick spray. You can also use parchment paper.
  2. Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl, except for the chocolate chips. Mix everything well so that the granola is evenly coated in the honey and that there are no dry areas.
  3. Transfer the granola to the large baking sheet and spread it out into an even layer. A trick that works for me is hitting the baking sheet on the counter a few times. It makes the granola spread easier across the baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the granola halfway through. When the granola is done baking it should appear golden brown
  5. Let the granola cool for at least 45 minutes.
  6. Break the granola into clumps once cooled.
  7. Sprinkle the chocolate chips into the granola.
  8. Store in an air-tight container at room temp for about 1 week.
