Delicious Dairy-Free Recipes

Paleo strawberry banana bread is moist, flavorful, healthful and absolutely delicious! With a berry-studded spin, this recipe is made with coconut flour and coconut sugar and is oh-so comforting.

Banana bread enthusiasts, and lovers of berries, you’re going to go BONKERS over this deliciously moist and flavorful Strawberry Banana Bread!

Grain-free, refined sugar-free, dairy-free, and sweetened primarily with bananas, this paleo banana bread recipe not only tastes amazing, but it is nutritious as well. We’ve made banana bread countless times on this blog, but I must say I adore the simplicity of a berry-studded banana bread topped with sliced almonds. It just does the body well!

Made with coconut flour, tapioca flour, and coconut sugar, this recipe is lower glycemic than traditional banana bread, plus provides a nice boost of fiber, thanks to the coconut flour. 

If you’ve made my Coconut Flour Banana Bread, this recipe is very similar! We simply make a couple of tweaks to accommodate for the added moisture from the strawberries. 

Let’s bake a loaf!

As we all know, I’m a major salmon lover. Just check out my extensive salmon archives! 

In spite of the fact that I can put my Teriyaki Salmon Bowls, Mediterranean Salmon, and Pesto Salmon in Parchment Paper on repeat over and over, I’ve made it my mission to branch out to the other fishies.

Enter: Cod.

It’s no salmon, but it’ll do 😉

What I love about cod is it absorbs flavor of marinades really well, as it has a subtle, buttery flavor. For this recipe, I whipped up an easy coconut milk-based marinade using full-fat canned coconut milk, fresh basil, ginger, and lemongrass.

The result is magnificent! If you have your own favorite marinade, you can always whip that up instead, or just drizzle the fish with some avocado oil and lemon juice and a sprinkle of sea salt and call it bueno.

Serving the cod salad  with cherry tomatoes, avocado, and roasted pumpkin seeds, along with a homemade basil-walnut pesto as the dressing takes this fishuation (<- get it? fish…situation…buhdumching…??) up another 17k notches.

So let’s do it already!

Easy Indian Chicken Biryani made in just one skillet. This delicious flavorful meal is perfect for a lovely evening in and is awesome as a meal prep recipe.

Have you ever tried Biryani?

Biryani is a classic Indian dish, which includes aromatic basmati rice studded with raisins, pine nuts, and/or almonds. It typically includes some form of animal protein, such as lamb, chicken, beef, pork, or shrimp.

When I go out for Indian food, I always order a biryani dish – it’s always so difficult to decide between the lamb, chicken or shrimp for me! 

While it may seem like a complex dish, making chicken biryani at home is a cinch! It requires a long list of ingredients, most of which are spices, but don’t let that fool you. There is nothing complicated about preparing the meal, and all you need is one large skillet.

In fact, I posted a One-Pot Chicken Biryani  recipe years ago, but have since modified it to be even easier wth fewer ingredients.

The dish is often served with a yogurt raita sauce, which I absolutely adore! I don’t often make raita myself, because it contains dairy and I typically limit my intake to certain types of dairy. BUT just know you can absolutely whip some up for your own adventure.

The end result is a flavorful rice dish with a nice protein infusion, which you can either treat as a main dish or a side dish. It makes for a lovely evening in for those times you’re craving takeout. 

Let’s make Chicken Biryani!

Vegan Strawberry Scones made gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free! This easy scone recipe makes a great breakfast or snack.

My love for scones goes way, way back. In fact, the first recipe I ever posted on this blog was Almond Flour Ginger Scones with Honey Orange Frosting ..Followed years later by Raspberry Vegan Scones, Gluten-Free Maple Walnut Scones , and Vegan Pumpkin Scones with Coffee Glaze.

WELL, recently I seem to have gone on another scone bender, posting Paleo Vegan Lemon Poppy Seed Scones, Paleo Cranberry Orange Vegan Scones, and Paleo Pecan Chocolate Chip Scones all within the last few months.

Suffice it to say, the love for scones is real. I always make them gluten-free and dairy-free. Most of the time, I go egg-free for a vegan version AND often grain-free for a paleo version. Basically, we’ve got scone options.

This recipe for Vegan Strawberry Scones is yet another ultra tasty and super shareable recipe. It’s great for lazy weekend mornings, for packing up and taking with you on hikes or road trips, or for bringing to work to impress your workmates.

If you’ve been a long-time follower, it’s no mystery that my Almond Flour Pancakes have been one of my most popular recipes of all time. 

Because many of you have an egg allergy or follow a vegan lifestyle, I thought it only appropriate to re-make my classic almond flour pancakes into a vegan version. 

The swap for eggs couldn’t be any easier – I simply whip up two “flax eggs” using ground flax seed and water as a replacement.

Serve these beauties up with a dollop of vegan “butter” spread and pure maple syrup (or regular butter if you can do dairy), and dive into the fluffiest, moistest egg-free pancakes that ever did exist!

If you’re struggling to keep mealtimes interesting, I gotchu! I have found the key to maintaining a “healthy” diet AND not getting bored with food is in simply changing up the flavors. Recently, I’ve been on a teriyaki kick. The salty-tangy-sweet-umami flavors really hit your palate in all the right ways!

I make my homemade Paleo Teriayki Sauce  (or use this store-bought brand <- not sponsored) and use it as a marinade for meat, or for stir frying vegetables. Let’s face it..sometimes I douse rice with it and call it a day.

This Teriyaki Vegetable Stir Fry with Rice recipe is an excellent clean side dish for serving alongside your favorite main entrees. Pro Tip: if you’re a lover of bowl food like me, whip up this recipe and use it as your base for your bowls!
