One of the things I love about creating recipes is all the additions and changes that readers suggest. I feel equally happy about recipe testing and happy accidents. When a reader, Bhavna, told me about adding a cup of coffee to my blondies recipe, I immediately thought I need to try that! I only had …
Peanut Butter & Jelly Cupcakes
It’s likely you could live on these cupcakes for a few days, if you had to. I speak from experience. I really just wanted to have some fun with the nut butter cream frosting I created, and I love peanut butter and jelly. And, of course if you can’t eat peanut butter you can use …
Nut Butter Cream Frosting
This frosting is decadent. Which is why it has a post all to itself. I was going to call it “nut butter frosting” but it’s definitely a level above frosting due to the butter component, making it more like butter cream frosting. And any nut butter will work with this frosting. If you prefer almond …

“Oatmeal” Raisin Cookies
My recipe for faux oatmeal cookies originally appeared in my SCD cookbook, and then appeared on Deliciously Organic. There’s no grain or gluten in these cookies—just nut or seed butter, and a few other ingredients. And some great news for egg-free eaters and flaxseed lovers—it works well with flaxseed meal in place of an egg. …
Brownies {Almond butter}
Brownies are definitely not seasonal. I can eat them any time of year. So you might be thinking, how does one turn a brownie into something healthy? It’s not hard, and, for a treat, this recipe provides a great shot of protein and nutrients. You can make it with almond butter, or another nut butter …
Nut Butter Truffles
I always get some help with these – mostly with the clean-up (also known as the “lick-up”). There are two parts to this recipe: making the peanut butter truffles, and then dipping them in dark chocolate (this part is optional). The second part was inspired by my kids’ desire to have peanut butter cups. My older …
