Coconut Chocolate Chex Mix is an easy, dairy-free, sweet Chex mix made with coconut butter and maple syrup. A healthier gluten-free and vegan Chex mix recipe!

Chex mix is one of the few nostalgic favorites that wasn’t taken away when I went gluten-free.

This Gluten-Free Apple Tart with an Oatmeal Cookie Crust is an easy dessert recipe made with an oatmeal crust, a layer of date caramel, and topped with cinnamon apples. Prepare the crust and date caramel ahead of time for easier assembly.

The last few months have been a bit of a blur for me. Things have felt non-stop (in a good way). With Thanksgiving break in sight, I’m looking forward to the change in schedule and keeping things simple.

And while I love all that Thanksgiving meals entail, easy and no-fuss is what this year’s celebration needs most….
