Hey party people!
Party food often times is an excuse for us to throw our healthy eating out the window. After all, it’s a celebration. Throw calories to the wind. And I am 100% with you on that. If only a girl could eat on brie and sweets alone.
But, what if there were delicious party treats that felt like indulgences but healthy? Wouldn’t that be a cause for a spontaneous confetti shower?! Well, today, I’m going to share a really delicious and healthy dessert recipe. This would be a fun addition to a girls night out party, a kid’s movie party, or to enjoy while you watch the Bachelorette (um…what a weird season this is?!).
These are what I call Chocolate Coconut Almond Cups. They were created as result of my husband’s pleading. He loves coconut and nuts and wanted a sweet treat that was healthy too. He’s now been pleading with me to make a healthy version of baklava. What? Not sure if that’s possible.
These sweet treats are GLUTEN FREE, DAIRY FREE (if you get the dairy free chocolate chips), and REFINED SUGAR FREE! They are pretty fantastic on your taste buds, too.
[yumprint-recipe id=’7′]See, super easy.
As a side note: We get our coconut oil at Costco. It’s much more affordable and lasts a long time. We were getting our almond butter there, but they raised the prices. Trader Joe’s has a pretty good price on almond butter.
Hope you enjoy your healthy and delicious treat…party-guilt free!
Party on!
Heidi! These look amazing!! I am planning a wedding shower and I think these are going to be an amazing addition!
Thanks Sarah! Just make sure it’s a REALLY cool room if you’re going to serve them out. If you want to make sure that coconut oil stays solidified, could pour a little bit of melted chocolate at the bottom of the cupcake liner, let that cool, pour the almond & coconut oil batter in, let that cool, then spread another layer of melted chocolate and let that cool. The chocolate will help keep the coconut oil in check. Hope the shower is a huge success! <3 Heidi
