Farewell, Twenty Twenty-One
As another year comes to a close, it's fun to look back and reflect on all that 2021 brought.
It was a weird year. I struggled more than ever before. (Hello, anxiety. You, too?) But there was a lot of good, too (I got a new puppy!) And got to make some really fun new recipes.
It's always interesting to see which recipes get the most love from you guys. So, what recipes were most popular on Pretty Pies this year? Honestly, I'm a little surprised at the list!
Without further ado, here are the TOP 10 most-viewed recipes on Pretty Pies from 2021:
Top 10 Desserts
1. 4-Ingredient Keto Ice Cream (Dairy-Free, Paleo, Vegan)
This classic vanilla ice cream has been super popular for years now. Can you believe it's just FOUR simple ingredients? And dairy-free! Don't forget to check out ALL the ice cream flavors I created using this as a base. (Hello Healthy 'Reese's' Blast! - my fav!) Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe Here
2. Low-Carb Peanut Butter Granola Balls (Oat-Free, Paleo, Vegan)
This reader fave is a remix of the ever-popular "Energy Bites" that I used to make many years ago when I could still tolerate oats and honey. Now you can make these without grains (oats!) or honey! They are low-carb and gluten-free and full of yummy PB chocolate flavor. Granola Ball Recipe here
3. Edible Brownie Batter (Dairy-Free Keto, Paleo, Vegan)
The indulgence of BROWNIE BATTER, to eat with a spoon! And none of the inflammatory ingredients! Did you know traditional brownies are mostly SUGAR?? Not here! This keto delight is loaded with wholesome, natural ingredients you can feel good about. Brownie Batter Recipe here
4. Berry Blender Cheesecakes (Dairy-Free Keto, Paleo, Vegan)
This method: REVOLUTIONARY (a blender!!) This color: GORGEOUS. The EASIEST way to make beautiful mini cakes! Without dairy, eggs or baking! This is one of my favorites to make for family gatherings. Blender Cheesecakes recipe here
5. Healthy Frappuccinos (6 Flavors! Dairy-Free, Keto, Paleo, Vegan)
Who needs Starbucks with its dozens of unnatural ingredients and LOADS of sugar (plus $$$ prices) when you can make your own homemade frapps with just a few simple ingredients (and a fraction of the price?!) It's a no-brainer. Choose from mocha, caramel, classic and more! Healthy Frappuccinos recipe here
6. Blueberry Lime Cheesecake (Paleo, Vegan)
Did you know this is my most popular recipe of ALL TIME - by far! With over half a MILLION views over the years. And over 22 million views on the video!! Crazy. It makes my top 10 every year. And for good reason. It's SO GOOD. Blueberry Lime Cheesecake recipe here
7. Key Lime Pie (Paleo, Vegan)
The creamiest, dreamiest key lime pie. A major CROWD-PLEASER. This pie is perfect to serve your family - even if they're not into clean eating, paleo diets or veganism. Nobody can tell it's actually AVOCADO. Yes really! This is a family favorite at my house. (My hubby begs me to make it lol) Key Lime Pie recipe here
8. Pumpkin Cake Balls (Dairy-Free, Keto, Nut-Free, Paleo, Vegan)
CAKE BALLS, but - spoiler alert - there's no "CAKE" in them, ha. But there is the rich taste and indulgent texture a la cake ball! But with much healthier ingredients. These have real pumpkin, a secret ingredient and warm spices you'll LOVE. Just one carb each! Pumpkin Cake Ball recipe here
9. Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars (Dairy-Free, Keto, Nut-Free, Paleo, Vegan)
This recipe is an excerpt from my latest cookbook, YAY It's Sugar-Free! It's an EASY, no-bake recipe that is a MUST for pumpkin lovers. The texture is DIVINE. And it's surprisingly NUT-free, too! Pumpkin Bars Recipe Here
10. No-Bake Cinnamon Donut Holes (Dairy-Free Keto, Paleo, Vegan)
These are the viral sensation that nobody can believe. Not only are they wholesome, you DON'T bake them! They magically come together in a perfectly dense and cinnamon-"sugar" coated bite-size treat! No-Bake Cinnamon Donut Holes recipe here
Surprising Things About These Recipes
Woah. I just realized: Not a single recipe requires BAKING or cooking in the Top 10! Everybody loves a good EASY recipe, right?
They're all EASY recipes-- which has become one of my hallmarks. I don't do complicated, difficult, culinary-degree required type of recipes.
Some people may. look at a photo of my pretty pies and think, "that's too hard. I couldn't make that" but it's just not true! These recipes are easy. Especially the no-bake ones, but the baked ones, too.
I love making quick and easy treats that are SIMPLE, using mostly pantry-staple ingredients and whole food ingredients as much as possible.
And always dairy-free, gluten-free, egg-free and refined sugar-free! With mostly low-carb and keto-friendly treats your whole family will love.
Honorable Mention: Most Loved
These others didn't make the top 10 THIS year, but they were close!
And, surprise number 2! They're all BREAKFAST treats!
In the past couple of years, I have added more than just desserts and I'm so happy you guys are loving them as much as I do.
Here are some of the most highly-rated (fan-favorite) recipes on Pretty Pies:
-
Pancakes (low-carb, egg-free)
(Super Highly rated!) Typical low-carb pancakes are made with dairy and eggs or psyllium or weird ingredients, but NOT HERE. These egg-free almond flour mix pancakes have a GREAT texture. Pancake recipe here
-
Classic Scones (low-carb, egg-free)
This is a personal FAVORITE that I have been making ALL the time. Maybe the one thing I've made the most!! SCONES. Amazingly low-carb with the same fluffy center and crisp exterior as traditional scones, but none of the flour, butter, eggs or SUGAR. Scone recipe here
-
No-Bake Keto Granola
This recipe is a GAME CHANGER. Ultra crispy and crunchy with toasted almonds, coconut and cinnamon. But NO grains, no oats, no eggs, no butter and NO BAKING. It's made in a skillet, and it takes just 10 minutes or less! Granola recipe here
