13 Heart Healthy St. Patrick’s Day Dessert Recipes

I have *sort of* been to Ireland. At the time, I was about negative 3 months old (as in, not yet born) and therefore didn’t get to see any of the country. But technically, I was there.

Just as I’ve not really been to Ireland, some of the Healthy St. Patrick’s Day desserts of this post are not really Irish (Nanaimo bars, for example, are Canadian) and are included in the recipe round-up due to their festive color. Next year’s round up will most likely contain more actual traditional Irish desserts, as researching for this post got me inspired. Bread pudding? Apple oatmeal crumble? Chocolate cake made with potatoes? I want those!

    We don’t celebrate St. Patrick’s day in Germany, but it’s my MIL’s name’s day which she celebrates. She’s totally sweet toothed, so I’m going to make one of these recipes for her and tell her about St. Patrick’s day 🙂

    So I’m sitting at my desk and my tummy is grumbling for lunch (and it’s only 10:38 am!) already despite my Vega smoothie this morning. I wish I had all of these desserts right now!

    Every time you post that mint chocolate pie, I make a mental note to make it…and never do. Maybe St. Patrick’s Day is the push I need! Thanks for sharing 🙂

    As for St. Patrick’s Day, I work at a school, so we’re all festive over here! I may drink some Jameson and make some soda bread.
