Paleo Desserts -- Holiday Dessert Recipes

You won't believe how amazing these paleo desserts are! They are all gluten free, and great for enjoying the holidays without feeling--or being--deprived!

Holiday Paleo Dessert Recipes--More than 30 recipes! Gluten free, Paleo, Primal, Grain Free. Some are Dairy Free, GAPS and SCD legal. Lots of choices for every preference!

Many are also GAPS Diet legal (you may need to omit a starch ingredient, or swap honey for maple syrup or another sweetener to comply with GAPS, but that is usually easy). I have rounded up a collection of tantalizing treats for you from many of my favorite food bloggers. Enjoy!
