A recipe round-up of 15 Paleo Dessert Recipes with Coconut. Because coconut makes everything better!
Just five years ago my feelings toward coconut were exactly like my feelings towards raisins, mushrooms, and seafood: gross! I would not touch any of them with a ten foot pole.
Then I started eating healthier, experimented with a pescetarian diet, and then made my way to the Paleo lifestyle. And while I generally still feel pretty “meh” about mushrooms and some seafood, I am 100% on board with coconut and raisins. Put the two of them together in a dessert and they are even better!
The Paleo community is absolutely obsessed with coconut, especially among those who eat nut-free. Though I am still eating some nuts, I would honestly choose coconut and coconut butter over nuts and nut butter on nearly every occasion.
With my love of coconut at an all-time high, I have had it on the brain a lot lately. I’ve been cooking with it like crazy, but now I am thinking some sweetness action is in order. Anything with coconut flour, coconut sugar, coconut milk, coconut butter, or just straight up coconut flakes will do. Who wants to help me decide which recipe to try first?

Oh no girl you have to love mushrooms 🙂 just kidding though I love them my husband can barely even look at them!
coconut though I think everyone should love! i cannot wait to try that espresso dessert out..yum yum!!
Don’t they all look so good? So many people aren’t fans of coconut, but I am so glad that I finally am. I’ll try to work on the mushroom thing now 😉
Came across your blog while trying to find out if frying eggs in coconut oil was advisable. I thought it would taste horrible, but it was actually really good. And putting a lid on the pan had never occurred to me. Thanks 🙂
I’ve been perusing your blog since then and noticed you’ve been trying different diets to heal your chronic pain/GERD issues. I used to have chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia, and I tried numerous diets and other therapies, to no avail. But about a year ago I came across this program (https://retrainingthebrain.com/), and it changed everything. I have zero pain and zero fatigue now. I tell everyone I know about the program now, especially those with pain/fatigue/IBS etc.
Thanks so much for sharing, Connor. I appreciate it. I will definitely check it out! Enjoy your eggs 🙂
All of these look sooooo tempting! Good job with this round up 🙂 The coconut butter stuffed dates is da bombdiggity for sure, especially with a bit of drizzled tahini. Those banana breads are definitely on the list to make!
Everything looks SO good, right? I want to make them ALL right now 🙂
