RAW RASPBERRY TART
Make these tasty tarts for a bright and sweet treat this spring! This easy no-cook recipe works great with any berries you like, and the nutty crust is the perfect complement to the tart berry filling. These are the perfect little desserts for spring brunch or your next summer BBQ.
This recipe also features our VANILLA Infused Sugar, which you can shop here!
PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
I've loved Peanut Butter Cookies for as long as I can remember - soft & chewy, filled with peanut butter flavor. SO good.
Try to use the best quality peanut butter you can find - it really makes a difference in how these cookies taste.
You can also drizzle these with chocolate for a little extra oomph!
APPLE CINNAMON COFFEE CAKE MUFFINS
These Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake Muffins are full of warm cinnamon and juicy apples, and are topped with the most incredible coffee-cake style topping.
I recommend buying XL cupcake liners so as much of the topping as possible stays on the muffin while they bake.
SALTED VANILLA CHOCOLATE CHUNK BLONDIES
Have you ever tried a blondie? They are similar to a brownie in shape and texture, but a blondie will use vanilla and brown sugar to get its flavor, versus a brownie that uses white sugar and chocolate or cocoa. The end result is buttery, slightly chewy, and seriously delicious. Especially when you add rich chocolate chunks and sprinkle flakey sea salt on top.
I added a holiday touch to these brownies by also including red and green M&Ms, but you could absolutely use whatever colors you like!
Red & Pink for Valentine's Day, Purple, Orange & Green for Halloween - have fun with these!
PUMPKIN BREAD WITH CHOCOLATE CHIPS
My Pumpkin Bread With Chocolate Chips recipe is so simple and delicious, you'll find yourself baking this all autumn long.
I love the combination of pumpkin plus white chocolate, so that's what I used, but feel free to use your favorite milk or dark chocolate chips, nuts, or omit all together. Don't skip the sugar topping though, especially if you have my PUMPKIN SPICE Infused Sugar on hand - it adds the most delicious flavor & crunch to every bite.
This pumpkin bread is delicious plain, spread with butter, or you could drizzle over a cream cheese glaze (mix together 4 ounces of cream cheese with a few tablespoons of warm milk, 1-2 tablespoons of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla, then pour over the cooled loaf.)
PEANUT BUTTER RICE CRISPY TREATS
Growing up, Rice Crispy Treats (or Rice Krispie Treats) were a major staple in our house whenever it came time to prepare for a bake sale! I don't think I realized as a kid that my mom likely made these because they're so, so easy. There is practically no cooking involved, just melting of the marshmallows and mixing it all together - boom. Make these for your next BBQ, summer cookout, or any time you want a quick and easy sweet treat!
This recipe also contains one of our Balanced Bites Spice Blends - CINNAMON and VANILLA Infused Sugars - which you can shop here!
FLOURLESS DARK CHOCOLATE BROWNIES
Rich & fudgy, these brownies are the perfect recipe to satisfy any chocolate craving. Try to use the best quality chocolate you can find – it will make a big difference in the end result.

EASY SNICKERDOODLE TRUFFLES
Impress guests with these easy homemade truffles that look elegant but use ingredients you probably have lying around in your pantry.

Inspired by the bright and bursting flavors of summer berries, this simple ice cream topping will wow your tastebuds. Pair it with one of our granolas, (we recommend our peanut butter granola!), and it makes the perfect dessert!
NUT-FREE LEMON BLUEBERRY SCONES
“Oh no, I'm one of them!”
Admittedly, this is what ran through my head the day I realized (months ago now) that I could no longer eat nuts.
I know that nut allergies are a big struggle for many of you, so rest assured that I now know how you feel. It stinks. And, truthfully, I don't even care much anymore about baking treats very often, so it's not that. It's more the sprinkling of the crunchy, fatty, flavor-filled bits that I miss incorporating into recipes. You see, when you develop an allergy to something that you have eaten all your life, you know what you're missing.
I miss walnuts. And strawberries…
I've had an oral allergy to both walnuts and pecans for many years now (along with strawberries and kiwi – sigh…), but after the stress of writing two books in less than a year (you've all read Practical Paleo, so you are well aware of how much stress can affect immunity, right?), the allergy expanded. And, no, this isn't the type of allergy that will likely improve or go away if I work on gut-healing or an AI protocol. So, please be aware that this is not a food intolerance – it's an allergy – and it could potentially be dangerous for me to eat these foods. It's not surprising to me to have this allergy develop as I'm already allergic to bee stings, penicillin, and prone to sinus infections (which I rarely get anymore since changing my diet).
I can no longer eat almonds or hazelnuts either. So, as you may imagine (or know first-hand if you share this allergy), this can make the idea of enjoying a grain-free treat quite daunting.
While lots of folks out there may think that it makes more sense to just enjoy “the real thing” once in a while, referring to gluten-filled goodies that are everywhere, that's just not going to happen. I don't eat gluten. There comes a point in time when you just would rather make something from scratch, from high quality ingredients, than eat some junky donut or cupcake just because it looks good or it's easier, or you think it's “real” versus a grain-free one that isn't?! I don't understand that logic, to be honest. And I know a lot of you are with me on this, because you've eaten them after not eating them for a long time – and they're not as good as they look.
All that said, sometimes it's nice to enjoy the texture of a baked good on a cold day with your cup of #coffeewithben or tea. And understand that, for all you with nut allergies while eating a grain-free Paleo type of diet, I feel you.
Give these grain-free, nut-free scones a shot.
These are a bit more dense than traditional scones, but their mildly sweet taste is just right. If you tolerate dairy, a bit of butter as a topper on these would be perfect!

PUMPKIN CRANBERRY MUFFINS
While I love to make these Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins in the fall, they'll be sure to be a year-round favorite in your house! Plus, they're a great way to use up canned pumpkin.
If you can't find cranberries, try swapping in chocolate chips or chunks – yum!

CHERRY VANILLA SMOOTHIE
This quick and easy protein smoothie comes together in a jiffy, and is perfect for the whole family to enjoy. Simply multiply up for more than one serving.
I whip this up after I workout, but it would make a great breakfast-on-the-go, afternoon snack, or even a late night dessert treat!
Try it in a smoothie bowl (simply serve in a bowl!) with some berries, toasted coconut flakes, and crunchy granola!
GLUTEN-FREE BANANA BREAD
This Gluten-Free Banana Bread is the perfect quick and easy, low-sugar treat. Loaded with mini chocolate chips, moist, and delicious, this banana bread is perfect even for breakfast. Whether as a healthy treat, a snack, or even for a breakfast on-the-go, you'll make this banana bread over and over.

DIANE'S MORNING POUR
Do you drink iced coffee? One of my friends got me into year-round iced coffee ages ago, which isn’t such a stretch in San Francisco since our *winter* low temp is usually around 50 degrees.
It’s something I don’t make myself, and I don’t want to start. For all the things I *do* make, this is one I enjoy outsourcing.
I’ve loved Chameleon Cold Brew since early 2013, when I tried it for the first time. It wasn’t even nationally available at that time, I’m an OG fan. I know many of you have tried it from my recommendation as well. While I use the sold-cold version in jars at home, the canned versions are shelf-stable and ready-to-drink, so you can enjoy them anytime, on the road, etc.
You guys are always asking me how I mix up my cold brew coffee, so here you go! It's SO easy!

BANANA VANILLA BEAN N'OATMEAL
Not in the mood for eggs? Try my Banana Bean Vanilla N'oatmeal with fresh berries and granola on top!
Better yet? It can be eaten cold or warm and keeps well in the fridge for a couple of days. Now that's what I call a breakfast win!
CARAMEL HOT CHOCOLATE
When the weather turns chilly, I love a mug of hot chocolate. It's just that most can be so disappointing. Sickly sweet. A laundry list of ingredients (that should never be found in hot chocolate.) This is different. Elevated. Trust me when I tell you to make this the second your CARAMEL infused sugar arrives on your doorstep.
This recipe also contains two of our Balanced Bites Spice Blends - VANILLA and our seasonal CARAMEL Infused Sugar - which you can shop here!
GLUTEN-FREE SOUR CREAM COFFEE CAKE
I love coffee cake, but I really wanted to find a gluten-free coffee cake recipe that used sour cream. I first tried searching for one, but I couldn't find one I loved. So, I tinkered until I created this Gluten-Free Sour Cream Coffee Cake.
This gluten-free sour cream coffee cake is easy to create using any gluten-free pancake mix you have on-hand.
It's important to use a pancake mix because it has a balance of flours as well as texturizing ingredients to achieve the right texture. This recipe won't work as well with a basic 1-for-1 gluten-free flour blend. I tried it, and it wasn't a great result.
I even tried it with a blended all purpose gluten-free flour and some xanthan gum and I didn't love that result either.
This sour cream coffee cake recipe is rich and decadent, you'll never guess it's gluten-free!
I made it with peaches here, but I've also tested it with blueberries and even a cooked-down strawberry mixture – any fruit works or none at all.

HOLIDAY LATTES: EGGNOG, GINGERBREAD, AND PEPPERMINT MOCHA
There’s a chill in the air and San Francisco finally feels like winter! Christmas trees are popping up in our neighbors' windows, the skyscrapers downtown are putting up their decorations and lights… hooray for the holidays!
And what better way to celebrate than whipping up a delicious homemade latte?! Cozy up in front of the fire (er, or some clanking old-school heating pipes) and watch Elf on repeat. You know you want to!
Try these with my Infused Sugars – COCOA, VANILLA, CINNAMON, & CAFE MOCHA!
PUMPKIN PANCAKES
When fall rolls around, it seems only natural to want to make as many recipes as possible that use pumpkin! This is a quick and easy pumpkin pancake recipe to take an inexpensive ingredient (canned pumpkin) and turn it into something delicious.
VANILLA BEAN COCONUT ICE POPS
Ice pops are a fantastic, nostalgic treat, but clearly what's available in stores is an array of overly sweet treats – often made with high fructose corn syrup or, worse, artificial sweeteners. This recipe is really easy to modify by adding any type of fruit or berries you like.

TWO-BITE CHOCOLATE CREAM PIES
These little chocolate pies are perfect when you just need a little bite of something sweet. Our two-bite chocolate cream pies freeze perfectly, too, so they're great to keep in your freezer!

FLUFFY BANANA PANCAKES
I’ve been working on a fluffy pancake recipe for years now, ever since the thinner, more delicate Pumpkin Pancakes became a reader favorite. While the pumpkin version is lower in carbs and perfect for everyone, this version packs more carbs for those who need them, and it has a fluffier texture that’s much closer to the grain-based pancakes you’ve left behind. These reheat beautifully, so go ahead and make a double batch!

Elevate your baking!
This gives a great crunchy topping to muffins or quick breads with an extra sweet vanilla flavor. Just a little mixed in a recipe takes it to a next level vanilla flavor with very little effort!
