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!

    i will have to wear green because i have red hair and I’m going to be pinched either way. Most likely i will have to deal with “abby its your heritage day for your people” . haha i am a natural red haired girl so i guess that is what i get

    Guess what everyone? I FINALLY nabbed some cocoa powder from visiting my house this weekend, so the Guinness brownies are a go. I guess I’ll be spending my Patty’s day whipping them up whilst doing homework and wearing my Green Bay Packers apparel as it’s the only green I have. I’m not Irish, so this isn’t much of a holiday for me whatsoever. Though, my mom’s name is Patricia, and she gets all excited because it’s her “patron saint” day. At least she brings some UNF to this holiday in my household!

    Oh my goodness these look so delicious, how it is possible that they are all healthy?! I would eat these just because they taste good- being healthy is just a bonus!
