13 Heart Healthy St. Patrick’s Day Dessert Recipes

I have *sort of* been to Ireland. At the time, I was about negative 3 months old (as in, not yet born) and therefore didn’t get to see any of the country. But technically, I was there.

Just as I’ve not really been to Ireland, some of the Healthy St. Patrick’s Day desserts of this post are not really Irish (Nanaimo bars, for example, are Canadian) and are included in the recipe round-up due to their festive color. Next year’s round up will most likely contain more actual traditional Irish desserts, as researching for this post got me inspired. Bread pudding? Apple oatmeal crumble? Chocolate cake made with potatoes? I want those!

    Katie ~ I just have to tell you, your recipes and pics make my mouth water. I swear, I can taste the food just by looking at it. Thank you so much for all your hard work! I have been following your blog for quite a while now (about 2 years), I have made a number of your awesome recipes, and I have never had anything that tasted awful. I especially love your recent oatmeal recipes. I try to follow a low carb, low glycemic diet , and use as many raw foods as I can. I know it is a mix of “whatever”, but I love, love, love your desserts. I usually sub out stevia or xylitol for all the sugar, and sometimes I have to play around with the tastes and textures because of that, but I have never been disappointed enough to chuck the whole batch of whatever it is–I usually end up incorporating my “not so great” experiments into some kind of a smoothie, so I don’t waste ingredients. Also wanted to let you know—I am a retired grandmother so your blog doesn’t just appeal to the “younger generation” I Just wanted to tell you—-YOU ROCK! Keep it up—we love ya!

    Love your site Katie. Use your recipes everytime I feel like baking. A little challenge for you: Can you come up with a healthier recipe of chocolate fondant cakes? 🙂
    Have a fab day!
