Why I Love These Chocolate Recipes
When you want something chocolatey and you want it now, turn to my collection of enticing chocolate recipes. (I’d say “Who doesn’t love chocolate?” but I’m sure there are a few outliers out there.) For the rest of us, let’s indulge in our favorite treat. I could eat chocolate every day, and I often do! Especially when it’s added to all sorts of dishes that don’t just have to be limited to dessert.
If you want to start the day on a chocolate-packed note, pour yourself a big bowl of Chocolate Granola that features glorious chunks of chocolate twirled with toasty oats and crunchy nuts. Or, make a breakfast your kids will get excited about – and that you’ll love quickly whizzing up in the blender – in the form of Mini Chocolate Banana Pancakes (you can even make them more special by drizzling some homemade Chocolate Glaze on top). And I always love a warm batch of Gluten Banana Muffins dotted with chocolate chips.
For a snack later in the day, you can choose from energy balls and bites, like Chunky Monkey Banana Energy Balls, Cherry Chocolate Chip Energy Balls, or Banana Peanut Butter Energy Balls. All of these recipes are fruit-sweetened so go ahead and indulge yourself.
Sip on a Mexican Hot Chocolate and nibble on a Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookie while you plan dessert. Then bring out the big guns with a foolproof Gluten Free Chocolate Cake or Chocolate Cheesecake to serve after a comfort-food dinner. Or make a fluffy batch of Gluten Free Chocolate Cupcakes that all ages will love.
You’ll find these recipes and many more outlined below. I hope you love these chocolate recipes as much as I do!

Another great Joan story 🙂 Her life was full of fun and laughter, I pray we can all learn from how she lived to the fullest!!
Yes, I definitely need to carry some of those life lessons with me!
I never had the chance to meet Joan but from all that you and her other friends have said she was one incredible woman. She set an amazing example for all of us and for me, that means she will be long remembered, with joy as well as sadness. My heart goes out to all who loved her, but especially to her kids and other family members.
Yes, in this time of sadness, I am trying to focus on the joy that radiated out of her to life me up. Thanks Laura!
Joan would have LOVED that you shared “new” to you talents along with her amazing treats! She was one of the good ones that is for sure. and that picture of you dancing on the tables- PRICELESS
I’m so glad to have that memory of her! Thanks Heather.
Oh, Brianne, your post brought tears to my eyes. I love that you were the one to share Joan’s 2M+ fans—a fun memory of a special time. You’ve described Joan just perfectly–and I’m glad we both got to see her this summer. xo
I’m honored to have been part of such a huge milestone. She deserved every bit of her success!
What a special memory! Thank you for sharing it with us! She will be greatly missed.
I never thought I’d be sharing it. I can’t lie, I wish it were still our secret, but it seemed fitting to show the proud and humble person she was, and why that combination made her so special.
Joan was such an incredible person, I know we’ll all miss her <3
She was. I hope she realizes how loved she was!
oh, I love this post with my whole heart. That you found new people to share along with Joan’s treats has me crying all over again. What a beautiful way to honor her and keep things how she liked it. Nothing thrilled her more than finding those hidden treasures and featuring them on her page. It was so much fun to hear that someone’s day had been made with her shares.
It was always so great to hear someone saying they got so many pageviews and couldn’t figure it out, and it ended up being because Joan shared one of their recipes. Love her heart!
