These gluten free raspberry chocolate chip cookies are the perfect rich chocolate and sweet fruit combo! They are easy to make and allergy friendly.
gluten free raspberry chocolate chip cookies
Honestly, chocolate goes with almost anything, but chocolate and raspberry is one of my favorite combos. I love raspberries more than strawberries, so my pick is always a raspberry-chocolate combo over a strawberry-chocolate one. And these cookies are the perfect combo in my humble opinion.

You can use fresh or frozen raspberries in this recipe, I’ve tested both. I love making these when fresh raspberries are in season, but this is also an amazing recipe to save for Valentine’s day. You just want to make sure your raspberries are torn up in smaller pieces. If using frozen, just mash them lightly to break them apart.

These cookies are made with a mix of gluten free flours, coconut sugar, vegan butter (but you can always use regular!), and an egg. You’ll fold in your raspberries and chocolate chips of choice, but my favorite is dark chocolate. So, how do you make these cookies?
Beat together the the softened butter and coconut sugar for a couple minutes, until fluffy and lighter in color.
Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flours, baking soda, and salt. Add to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
If using fresh raspberries, use your hands to gently tear them into pieces. If using frozen raspberries, smash them to break them up a bit. You want to avoid smooshing either berries.
Fold the chocolate chips and raspberries into the dough and place in the fridge for 10 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350F.
Using a tablespoon size scoop, place balls of cookie dough 2 inches apart on a parchment lined baking sheet. You will have to bake in batches. Bake the cookies on the middle rack for 10-13 minutes until edges are set and tops are beginning to golden.
Remove cookies from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
These gluten free blueberry oat muffins are the perfect breakfast muffin- filled with fiber, low sugar, and allergy friendly! These muffins are easy to make and ideal for meal prep.
gluten free blueberry oat muffins
Over this last year, I developed a new found love for oats in all forms (granola, cookies, muffins, etc), so I had to give some oat muffins a try. I don’t like when muffins have too many oats though. It can’t be overbearing! I love these gluten free oat muffins because there is only a 1/2 cup of oats in this recipe and plenty of blueberries.
gluten free blueberry oat muffins
These blueberry muffins are also completely refined sugar free. They are made with maple syrup and only a touch of it. These are the perfect, healthy breakfast muffin as they aren’t sugar loaded, but are packed with fiber from the oats and blueberries, and contain a good heaping of cinnamon. If you want your muffins to be a little sweeter, I suggest sprinkling the tops with coconut or brown sugar before baking or just drizzling your muffin with honey when ready to eat.

I love these paleo cookies! They pair perfectly with tea or coffee and aren’t too sweet. They contain no refined sugar, as long as you make your own powdered sugar with coconut sugar.
gluten free cookies
These gluten free cookies come together easily. You’ll start by making the cookie base, which is just a blend of paleo flours, olive oil, maple syrup, and an egg. The crumble topping is where the walnuts are that give these cookies the perfect crunch. The dairy free icing that pulls these cookies together is something you can’t skip! It’s just made of a mix of powdered sugar and yogurt of choice- feel free to use a dairy variety if desired.
These walnut crumble cookies are the perfect mix of soft and crunchy. They are completely paleo, gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free. Enjoy for dessert or with your morning coffee!
For the cookies, sift all dry ingredients together in a bowl.
Beat the oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and egg together in a large bowl on medium low speed until combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet and beat on low (or use your paddle attachment to combine) until just combined. Dough should be pretty wet.
Place the dough in the freezer for 10-15 minutes or in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350F while dough is cooling.
Combine all topping ingredients in a small bowl during this time. Everything should just come together and be slightly crumbly.
When dough is more solid, remove from fridge and form 12 balls. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart (cookies will spread) and press down into cookie shape about 1/2 inch thick.
Sprinkle the topping mix on top of the cookies and gently press down so it sticks to the cookies (it’s okay for cookies to flatten a bit more during this process).
Bake one tray at a time on the middle rack for 14-16 minutes, until edges are just golden. Let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling before icing.
While cookies are cooling, make the icing.
Place 2 Tbsp of yogurt in a small bowl and then add your powdered sugar 1 tsp at a time (start with 3-4 tsp, then add one at a time after that) until you get your desired consistency (the more you add, the thicker it will get so it’s less runny).
If you’re looking for an easy and healthy snack, then look no further than these gluten free protein oat bars. Made from real ingredients and whole proteins, these oat bars are far cleaner than anything you’d find in the store.

Snacks are my love language and I always have something in my purse for emergencies, but a lot of pre-packaged snacks and bars are filled with fake sugars, weird flavors, and gut-disrupting ingredients. Having an easy, healthy, and high protein snack on hand for that afternoon slump is a must. That’s where these gluten free protein oat bars come in!
These oat bars are easy to whip up, made from real, whole food ingredients, and will last you the week.

Ingredient Notes
Oats: To keep this recipe gluten free, make sure to use certified gluten free oats.
Protein: These homemade protein bars get their protein content from oats, egg whites, and protein powder. This recipe calls for pea protein as it acts like a flour. My favorite pea protein is from Sprout Living as it has no other added ingredients, flavorings, or sugar alcohols. Use code LEMONSNLYME20 for 20% off your order!
Wet ingredients: A combination of butter, maple syrup, and egg whites is used to hold these bars together. You can use real or vegan butter. I use vegan to keep it dairy free, but either works and adds to the flavor of these oat squares. This recipe uses real maple syrup as it’s better for your gut than a fake sugar substitute. Lastly, we’re keeping that protein content boosted with a few egg whites.

To top off these homemade oat bars and make them perfect, you can’t skip out on the chocolate drizzle! I mean is it really an enjoyable snack or protein bar if there isn’t some chocolate involved?! You can use whatever your favorite chocolate is, just melt it down with a little coconut oil and then drizzle it over the top of the baked oats.

Line a 9×9 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
Pour your oat mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Bake oat bars for 30-35 minutes, until slightly golden. Let cool completely before cutting into 9 squares.
When bars are cooled, melt your chocolate chips and coconut oil together until smooth. Drizzle over the oat bars (or dip them into the chocolate). Place in the fridge until chocolate has set.

protein brownie bites
This gluten free treat is quick and easy to make. First, you’ll make a no-bake and vegan protein brownie batter from my favorite pea protein (use code LEMONSNLYME20 for 20% off) with cocoa powder, maple syrup, and water. This batter will be stuffed inside some Medjool dates and then drizzled with melted chocolate. I love topping these off with some flaky sea salt for the ultimate sweet and salty combo!
Can I use a different protein? Pea protein is unique in that it acts like a flour. It absorbs moisture instead of dissolving into it like many other proteins. This recipe does require pea protein or pumpkin seed protein. Both proteins can be found here.
This gluten free and vegan treat is the perfect healthier Valentine's Day dessert. Higher in protein and utilizing natural sugars from the dates, you'll love this quick and easy no-bake treat!

Mix together the protein, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and 5 Tbsp of water in a small bowl. If the batter is really dry and crumbly, add 1 tsp of water at a time until it comes together but isn't too runny.
Open your dates along one side (don't split them completely in half!) and make sure the pit is removed. Take ~1 Tbsp of batter and stuff it into the date. You should get about 10-12 dates total.
Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together.
Place the stuffed dates on a parchment lined plate then drizzle the chocolate on top. Finish off with some flaky sea salt then set in the fridge to set until chocolate has hardened.

chocolate truffles
How do you make truffles?
These chocolate truffles are easy to make. You just combine granola butter with melted chocolate and a few other ingredients, then mold the truffles and pop them in the fridge to set. You can always add the truffle batter to a silicone mold to make the forming process easier.
If you decide to mold your truffles by hand, just be aware that it does get messy and you’ll need to work quickly as the heat from your hands melts the chocolate. Once the batter has set, you can scoop out small amounts and roll them into balls with your hands before popping them back in the fridge.
Once set, coat them in a layer of melted chocolate and top them off with flaky sea salt.
What is in truffles?
The base of these truffles consists of granola butter and melted chocolate. The granola butter keeps this recipe completely nut and seed free, but you can always use whatever nut/seed butter you like.
Coconut oil, vanilla extract, and coconut sugar are added to the base to bring truffles together. Then they are coated in a layer of melted chocolate. My favorite chocolate to use is Enjoy Life because it is free from the top 14 allergens.
This recipe makes about 14 truffles, but you can easily double the recipe
These homemade chocolate truffles are completely allergy friendly and easy to make. They are gluten free, dairy free, and nut/seed free. They're perfect for Valentine's Day or to quell a chocolate craving whenever I might pop up!
Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together on low over the stove or in the microwave at 30 second intervals.
Combine the granola butter, melted chocolate, vanilla, sugar, and salt together in a bowl and stir to combine.
If using a mold, pour your batter into the molds and place in the fridge to set for 30-60 minutes. If not using a mold, put batter in the fridge for 10-30 minutes, until set, but not too firm. Using a small scoop, scoop tablespoon size amounts of batter into your hand and form into a ball. Work quickly as the heat from your hands will melt the chocolate (this process will be messy). Place the balls on a parchment lined plate and set back in the fridge to set for at least 30 minutes.
Once truffles are set, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil for the coating together in a small bowl. Coat each truffle in the melted chocolate then place back on the parchment lined plate. Sprinkle with flaky salt while chocolate is still wet then put back in the fridge until chocolate is set.
