It seems every recipe I click on lately contains almonds in one form or another….is it just me?
I enjoy almonds, but because I don’t tolerate them very well, I shy away from using them in recipes too much.
I thought there must be some of you in the same boat, so I compiled a list of 20 healthy, almond-free treats from the blog! Enjoy!
1. ‘White Chocolate’ Banana Pops
Frozen bananas are surrounded by a crispy ‘white chocolate’ shell – My kids love these fun pops coated with sprinkles. 🙂
2. Chocolate Pudding Pops
A surprising ingredient makes these chocolate treats rich and fudgy! These are a favorite around here.
3. Chocolate Cookie Dough Candy Bars
Oat flour-based cookie dough with a soft chocolate layer…swoon!
4. Paleo Ice Cream Sandwiches
Typically, a paleo recipe equals almonds, but these delicious, refreshing cookie sandwiches are nut-free!
5. Creamy Chocolate Fudge
A sneaky, high protein ingredient makes this fudge rich and creamy!…
6. Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
No almonds or oil in this one bowl cookie recipe that’s easy to whip up!
7. Oatmeal Snickerdoodles
An oat-based ode to the snickerdoodle and only five teaspoons of added sugar!
8. Fudgy Black Bean Cookies
These soft and sweet cookies are made with black beans, which provide a good dose of protein. Beans aren’t just for brownies, peepers!
9. Healthy Protein Frosty
This is such a great recipe, and it really tastes like a thick, chocolate milkshake!
10. Chocolate Chip Detox Fudge
High protein and nut-free, this creamy fudge is another offshoot of the above chocolate version.
11. Buckwheat Flour Brownies
What can I say, I love brownies!…so, I have a version with just about any and every flour, including my beloved buckwheat.
12. The Best Black Bean Brownies
In my opinion, these are the BEST black bean brownies! No flour or nuts needed!
13. Home Alone Chocolate Cake
A single serve chocolate cake WITHOUT any grains or nuts!
14. Homemade Chocolate
Make your own homemade chocolate bar with just a few ingredients! Video tutorial included with this one. 🙂
15. Chickpea Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
A recipe for those highly allergic individuals, made without grains or nuts…this one was super popular for a while around here.
16. Fudgy Brownies
Made with oat flour and….prune puree! The prunes really compliment the chocolate and make these brownies a crowd pleaser. I need to make these again! Video with this one too.
17. Strawberry Shortcake
This recipe is a surprising hit, and it’s free of grains and nuts. This is often requested around here for birthdays and special occasions.
18. Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bars
It’s officially August, so the pumpkin parade is almost here! Keep this low sugar recipe in mind when it arrives.
19. Pumpkin Seed Brownies
As an almond flour alternative, these fudgy, low sugar brownies are made with ground pumpkin seeds!
20. Blueberry Pie Bars
I love this fruit-based recipe, NO sweeteners or oils added! Soft crust with a gooey blueberry filling equals food heaven!

Thanks so much. I wanted to make vegan gluten free banana muffins today and was searching through Google for your banana recipes. All I was getting is almonds or ready mix flour!
I am sure you have a banana muffin/square or something. If it has eggs, I could easily use flax. But somehow I couldn’t find anything and I was in s hurry! I did manage to find a recipe (I needed to use up the sad bananas! ☺️
I thought I will take some time and search through your recipes list. Well, your 20 Healthy Treats has reminded me of so many recipes I had wanted to make. Thanks again. I have been a long time follower with a different ID (Begum)! ☺️
