Let the aroma of cinnamon and peaches wake your family up in the morning with this overnight Paleo Peach French Toast. This recipe contains no grains and the almond flour makes it super moist and delicious! It’s great to make ahead for a brunch crowd as it has to sit overnight in the fridge.

Paleo Peach French Toast

The Easy Almond Bread is so versatile, you can eat it on its own, or toast it and have it with jam, or even make a sandwich with it. You can make the loaf ahead and keep it in the freezer until you are ready to use it.  You’ll need lots of eggs for this recipe. This is a protein filled breakfast.

I also recently discover Elmhurst  Nut Milks because let’s face it, sometimes it’s just convenient to buy nut milk already made, but unfortunately most are loaded with unhealthy ingredients like carraganeen. Unsweetened Elmhurst milks are just nuts and water, and they taste delicious!

No need for syrup on these! The peaches give it just the right sweetness. Try adding some chopped pecans for a bit of a crunch! Let me know how it turns out in the comments below.

You’ve got to try these gooey Fudgy Paleo Protein Blondies! Blondies have always been one of my favorites! I wanted to see if could convert my almond butter chocolate chip cookie recipe into a blondie. I still don’t know the science behind it, but baking with nut butter gives an awesome rise and a super moist texture without using any xanthum gum!

Fudgy Paleo Blondies

The coconut flour in this recipes gives it added protein and the coconut oil gives it that nice shiny, crackly surface that every good brownie should have. Without any grains, these blondies are gluten-free. Also using coconut sugar and honey makes healthier baking  possible and just as delicious!
