I always try and take a second to explain what makes each recipe fall into different dietary categories so that you can adjust it to meet your own specific needs if possible. Paleo is a diet that focuses on eating real whole foods, avoiding all things that are overly processed and inflammatory. The inflammatory categories include dairy, gluten, grains, refined sugars, and legumes. So a traditional bread is made with flour, which we swap out for grain-free almond flour. Instead of butter, we use unsweetened applesauce, and we replace refined white sugar for pure maple syrup. While maple syrup is allowed on Paleo, you want to make sure that you don’t go overboard, because it is still a sugar. For the frosting, we skip the confectioners and sweeten with a little more maple syrup. To keep it paleo, make sure you use a dairy-free cream cheese. I love kite hill brand (not sponsored, just a brand I really enjoy). If not dairy-free, you can use regular cream cheese and two tablespoons of butter instead of coconut oil.
