As you can imagine, Easter treats are huge in Italy! And because I wanted to stick to this delicious Italian tradition, I created a fun recipe for Paleo Easter Egg Cookies together with a quick video that shows you how to make them. Not only are these healthy Easter treats free from grains, dairy, nuts and refined sugar, they are also suitable for those who are on the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) and have already reintroduced egg yolk successfully.
You should really be in Italy at this time of the year: Chocolate Easter eggs are ubiquitous, chocolate shaped rabbits and hens are in every store, and all of the bakeries and pastry shops fill their windows with amazing sweet and savory treats, from Colomba to Torta Pasqualina (a delicious spinach quiche).
There’s really something for everybody: while Italian kids start collecting dozens of chocolate Easter eggs 2 weeks before Easter, lining them all down on top of the kitchen cabinets, adults go crazy over “Colomba”, a soft, spongy cake shaped like a dove, and scattered with candied orange peel and caramelized almonds.
And, another typical Easter treat we make in Italy is Tiramisù (and if you can tolerate gluten free grains, I created a dairy free version for it here).
All of these treats are of course delicious (and in the past, I admit, I had my fair share of them), but from a health standpoint they are not that recommendable ?
For this reason, together with my mom, I created a great recipe to make Paleo Easter Egg Cookies and in this short video I show you guys how to make them.
They of course have no gluten nor grains and they are dairy and sugar free as well. And the presentation… well, that speaks for itself!
