15 Gluten Free Vegan Healthy Holiday Dessert Recipes (V, GF, Dairy-Free, Paleo) (1)

Every year, the holidays roll around, and every year, it’s friggin hard to find healthy holiday desserts!! Amiright?

I used to feel this way every goshdarn year for like a decade (when I started giving two sheetcakes about eating anything healthy)… until I just decided to start writing these recipes myself. Yeah!! Just call me a dessert self-starter. 🙂

Obviously, eating all of these deeeeelicious desserts has gone to my head.

So this year, I thought it’d be fun, helpful, delicious, cool, but mainly really delicious, to share some of my favorite healthy holiday desserts… so far. I’d like to say“of all time,” but there are so many more recipes for me to write and to discover. Cue the abundantly attractive salivating noises.

Gather ‘round the (computer) table and let’s count all the ways we’re gonna be kitchen heroes this Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/after-dinner-dessert-period-when-folks-ironically-get-salty-while-they’re-looking-for-dessert! Woot woot!
