I was always a terrible baker and frankly, as a sugar addict, Paleo treats scared me. I flash back to the childhood in which I could eat 12 slices of french toast or 9 donuts for breakfast without breaking a sweat, and I am immediately terrified that I still would not be able to stop myself if something sweet were set in front of me. But in the years since I began blogging at the start of my Paleo journey, that is no longer a problem–not really. I have no trouble having this stuff around and saying no when I know that I wouldn’t be able to stop myself (usually because I’m stressed out or upset). Because, as good as this stuff is, I don’t want it more often than once or twice a year on my birthday or someone else’s. I’d rather have some pineapple. Which, incidentally, would be super delicious with this light, fluffy cake. You can skip frosting and top yours with sliced fruit if you like. Mmmf.
Looking for more easy AIP recipes?
I know diet change can feel overwhelming. I started the autoimmune protocol at a time when only four other people were writing about it, and over the years, I’ve striven to give you the resources I wish I’d had when I got started. Not just recipes, but ways to implement them. My first ebook 28 Days of AIP is a meal plan that will help you get going (or get back on the wagon) with as little fuss as possible. With a variety of simple, delicious recipes, plenty of leftovers so you don’t spend all your free time in the kitchen, and shopping lists ready to go, all you have to do is follow the plan, then sit down and enjoy your meal! It’s available as a digital download for $9.99.
