This Paleo Peppermint Brownie Roll is a guest favorite at holiday parties!

December is always a challenging month when it comes to food and trying to stay healthy. It seems like every weekend in December there is a Christmas party of some sort that we are invited to attend. And when there’s a party, there is food. In the past, party foods have been a bit of a struggle for me, especially the desserts at parties. I’ve found that it’s easy to stick with healthy choices for pretty much everything else except desserts.

Before, I’ve given into the temptations of beautiful looking, sugar loaded cakes and pies at parties that have left my tummy feeling awful. So I came up with a new strategy and it’s been working really well for me. I now bring a “healthier” dessert to parties. Even if I’m asked to bring something else, I’ll always bring a dessert, too. I make sure my dessert is full of wholesome ingredients that aren’t loaded with refined sugars or grains. And it’s something I can feel good about eating, too. The best part about bringing your own dessert is that it’s a great opportunity to show others that healthy doesn’t have to mean boring or bland.

And I think this paleo peppermint brownie roll is anything but boring and bland, don’t you agree?! Not only is it fun to look at and so festive, but it’s also ridiculously good. It’s so good that my friends and family are requesting that I bring the peppermint brownie roll at every Christmas party. The first time I made it, everyone was floored that it didn’t have grains or dairy in it – they were shocked to know that is was full of healthier, wholesome, real food ingredients! Love that! 🙂



I hope you and your guests love this as much as mine do! Please let me know if you make it!
