Many of us have a sweet tooth that just won’t go away. We can resist the urge to eat tasty treats for a while, but if you’re like me, then at some point the want for sugar-packed treats takes over and you end up eating way too much sugar then you should be. These dessert recipes are easy and delicious treats that will fill your cravings while avoiding the guilt of indulging on desserts we shouldn’t be eating everyday. They are also quick and easy, so it won’t take too much time out of your busy schedule.

These Flourless chocolate brownies are surprisingly delicious and only contain four ingredients, none of them being butter, oil, flour or sugar. They are made of pumpkin puree (which can be substituted for banana or sweet potato), almond butter, cocoa powder, and a sweetener of your choice such as maple syrup, honey, or stevia. They also have 3 different options for frosting: coconut, protein, and cream cheese. These brownies are naturally gluten-free, vegan, paleo, and free of refined sugars, and the only step is to mix all of the ingredients in a bowl and throw it in the oven for 20 minutes.

The only steps to this recipe are to heat up the coconut oil and maple syrup in a pan, combine all of the ingredients and put them in the oven for 12 minutes. I love this recipe because it’s highly adaptable and doesn’t taste healthy at all.

Even though carrot cake sounds healthy, it’s usually packed with tons of sugar in both the cake and the frosting. This recipe is a healthier paleo-friendly gluten-free cake with naturally unrefined sugars.

The frosting is made of cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar (or paleo powdered sugar), vanilla extract, and almond milk. The steps are fairly simple for this carrot cake: You’ll need to combine all of the dry ingredients and all of the wet ingredients, and then mix them together and bake for about 25 minutes. Although it has quite a few ingredients, this carrot cake is definitely worth it.
