Peach Cobbler Bites

PEACH COBBLER BITES

One of my favorite things about summer is the fresh fruit. My favorite fruit is watermelon but if you get a sweet juicy peach it rivals it! One of the very first things I learned to make on my own was a peach crisp. I had flour and sugar everywhere! Now I have  changed up my baking habits to healthify everything and I figured out how to make a little peach cobbler bites!

They are pretty simple and taste divine.I topped mine with  cinnamon coconutter sweet spreads! Its a wonderful litter company thats sells amazing coconutter spreads with 6 different flavors. You have to check them out! They will change your life!  www.sweetspreads.com .

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Chewy Bars

PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP CHEWY BARS

So... I LOVE Peanut butter and when I make a healthy protien packed bar out of it its even better. These are sooooo good. SO SOFT AND CHEWY AND TASTY AND PEANUT BUTTERY! Ok I will stop drooling over here! Plus they are Gluten and dairy free. They are the best no bake protein bars! I dont even like to call them a protein bar because I have been breaking them apart and putting them on my ice cream as a desserts (HALO Ice cream..google it . Its awesome!)

In the summer it get REALLY HOT in Arizona. We are alwats in the 100's so i want treats but dont want to use my oven! These are perfect! All i need is a good food processor! Hope you guys enjoy them as much as I do!

Ingredients:

2 cups Peanut Butter protein Powder

 (I used Try About Time peanut butter protein: link to order is at the bottom of post) OR Vanilla Protein

1 cup Almond Flour 

1 tsp vanilla

1/4 tsp salt

1/3 C peanut butter of choice (I used Peanut butter Co White chocolate wonderful)

 17-20 drops sweef leaf stevia or 2-3 packets of stevia

3 tbs maple syrup or honey (I used walden farms)

5 tbs water

Optional but nessecary: 16-18 ghirdeilli's milk chocolate chips chopped in half or mini chocolate chips

HERE IS THE DEAL:

Combine protein powder, almond flour, vanilla, salt, peanut butter, and stevia. Add in 1 tbs of water and 1 and 1 tbs maple syrup at a time and mix. Continue to add and mix until the alotted amount is used. This is to ensure it mixes well because the dough can become very dense in the end. 

Once everything is well combined and the dough is formed  press into an 8X8 pan covered  in tin foil and sprayed (foil needs to cover the sides enough to pull out later for cutting ) Add chocolate chips by pushing them in the top of the dough ( you can mix them in but I like them this way  because seem to use less)

Let set for at least an hour. You don't  have to do this I just feel like the flavors mesh better and the bars form better for cutting if I wait but it is not a must. I normally make mine and leave them over night and cut them in the morning.Cut with sharp knife . Store on Baggie or Tupperware. 

TIP: I love freezing mine and pulling out one to microwave for 15ish second to eat warm and a little gooey!

Gluten Free Strawberry Cupcakes

Strawberry Cupcakes

Strawberry Heaven right here. I love light and fluffy dessert in the summer. Things they dont leave you feeling sluggish and heavy! Well this Gluten free, no refined sugar , or unneeded oils cupcake is perfect!! These are Delicious and a secret ingredient gives them the texture of a pound cake!

3/4 tsp baking powder

Strawberry Banana Trifle

Strawberry Banana Trifle

This is a GREAT dessert for any spring or summer gathering.  A GIANT Strawberry Banana Trifle!! Its light and fluffy and tastes so refreshing when it gets really hot outside! Its feeds at least 10-12 people easily and probably more! Now I will be honest its not totally clean BUT I believe in moderation especially on holidays and on a scale of good better best concerning health this is a better option then most!!  BUT I will also give you a cleaner version that does not use the cake mix! So now you have TWO options to decide how you want to make your yummy cake

Its super simple to make but looks fancy. I got the dish from walmart I think for like ten bucks and it was worth every dime. 

Layer one CAKE:(Option 1)

1 white cake mix

2 light raspberry or strawberry yogurts of choice

4 eggs whites

1 &1/4 c water

Mix together and bake cake based in instructions on the box

Layer one CAKE : (Option 2)

1 tsp vanilla extract

Then add

2/3 c coconut flour 

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

1.5 tsp baking powder

Bake at 350 for about 28-32 ish minutes. I check my cakes alot because based on elevation the bake time changes. Take a tooth pick and poke a hole in the middle if it comes out clean its done.

Pudding Layer:

One sugar free fat free white chocolate or vanilla pudding mix

2 cups milk( so I tried to use almond milk first and it didn't. Who know almond milk wouldn't make pudding but it doesn't ! So you can use skim milk)

Raspberry Fluff layer

1.5 cup of 1% cottage cheese

2 raspberry yogurts of choice 

8-10 drops of vanilla stevia or a packet or two stevia measure based on your taste buds

1/4-1/2 tsp xanthan gum (its a thickener so its optional but makes the fluff thicker )

Layer in cake , pudding , bananas and strawberries,  raspberry fluff, cake ,pudding , strawberries and bananas, raspberry fluff and  top with fruits - optional you can add a layer of fat free cool whip and then top with fruit.
