Hi.
Another day.
Another three ingredient recipe.
Another no bake recipe.
Sue me.
There was a time I would take what other ‘seasoned’ bloggers advice as gold and would comply as though it was their way or no way. They claimed multiple antics which were supposedly blogging ‘taboo’ and that bizarre recipes were lame. I’m glad to say I’ve stopped being so submissive and trusting myself and my ideas and my….lack of baking.
Maybe when the colder months come, I’ll turn on my oven to bake something.
Maybe when the colder months come, I’ll turn on the oven to keep myself warm.
Maybe when the colder months come, I’ll be dancing at an ice hockey event with a watermelon on my head.
Regardless, I’ll be posting what I want- Cooked, fried, sautéed, transformed into a ball gown and (no) baked.
Anyway, I’m back today with some of my favourite bloggers with our monthly ingredient round up…and we have a new friend joining us! This month, our ingredient was Alexis’ homemade splenda.
Just kidding, it was almond flour/meal! We each created a recipe featuring this as our ingredient and I made a 3 Ingredient Paleo and vegan friendly fudge but I’ll share that at the end. Let’s see what the others contributed-
Lindsay shares with us these small batch chocolate chip cookies. Small batch = All for me. Right? Right.
Julia puts the NYC pizza joints down the road from me to shame with a Caprese Pizza on an almond flour crust!
Friends, please welcome Sarah who has THE recipe to use up those zucchinis piling up in your kitchen- Gluten Free Zucchini Bread.
You should have heard what Alexis originally claimed her recipe to be. Luckily, you don’t need to because she actually made these Vegan Mocha Chip muffins!
Kylie has us wanting to diss the pancakes in favour of these delicious almond flour crepes!
Now my contribution- Healthy Three Ingredient Fudge. This fudge could not be any easier and I was stoked with how well it turned out using almond flour. Long term readers know I am obsessed with coconut flour (one of my flours of choice!) but almond flour/meal- It’s not used TOO often here. However, after some trials with various sticky sweeteners and nut butters, we come to this (delicious) conclusion.
This Healthy Three ingredient fudge literally takes five minutes to whip up and is customisable depending on what nut butters or sticky sweeteners you have on hand. Not only that, it’s suited to most diet lifestyles out there- Paleo, vegan, gluten free and, depending on what ingredient combination you use, Whole 30 compliant!
For this recipe, I used pure maple syrup and cashew butter you can use what you have on hand. If you aren’t paleo, you can definitely use peanut butter and if you’re not strictly vegan, you can use honey/brown rice syrup- Just make sure you read the notes.
Make this healthy three ingredient fudge and have a simple, delicious and melt in your mouth snack on hand all the time.
Healthy No Bake Three Ingredient Fudge
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour can sub for almond meal*
- 1/2 cup cashew butter can sub for nut butter of choice*

Notes
Fudge is best kept in the fridge but can be frozen.
Have you ever used almond flour/meal before?
Do you tend to follow your intuition or stick to things which have been tried and tested? Sorry for the philosophical question today. Call me Aristotle. (Don’t)
Well you clearly rock it in the no-bake department so I think it’s a good thing you chose not to follow others advice. How you even think to come up with stuff like this is beyond me. You’re so creative! Now I just need a piece of this in my face!!
Speak for yourself, Sarah- I am in awe of your amazing recipes which I can never tell are vegan! I’m actually going to try out your bread, especially to use up the brown rice flour!
I bake in the middle of summer and make freezing cold smoothies in the middle of winter… and somehow it works. Actually, some of my best posts/recipes ended up being the ones that I questioned the most. Go figure.
Right? You and me both! And can we discuss the oatmeal thing…hot oatmeal = Summer.
Clearly you are a no-bake genius. Plus with three ingredients, how could i not try these?! They look so good!!
Thanks so much, Megan! 🙂
I am loving all the no bake recipes, there is no way I want to turn on my oven right now in NYC or Connecticut! Can you say 98 degrees yesterday?
Omg. I am actually melting right now. I went to shoot an ice cream recipe today and not even kidding, melted by the time I set my lens up.
Dislike. I want to see this ice cream recipe!
LOL. Next Summer now!
Fudge with ALMOND MEAL?! That is a genius idea!!!! I am absolutely in love with all of the other almond meal recipes you listed–especially the crepes, bread and pizza 😀
Thanks so much, Cassie!
The texture of this fudge looks like perfection! And I love that I can make it with things I have on-hand already!
Thanks so much, Dani!
Shut the front door! Yet another delicious no bake treat! You, my friend, are the master. And these look delicious.
Thanks so much, Heather!
yummmmm. I don’t have almond flour, but I’ve been told I need to branch out. I’m obsessed with Trader Joe’s cashew butter, so I have a feeling I would love these. I tried the Jif cashew butter one time and it just didn’t compare!
OMG. Someone on IG said the JIF was better. I nearly cried.
Oh God! Everything looks so delicious. The fudge sounds perfect. I like simple things. I will have to make a special Pinterest board called “Arman’s recipes I need to make when I am back from vacation”
On being philosophical: I rely on intuition. Always. Because I could live with a fail if I failed my way but not if I had acted against my feelings! Does that make sense?
That totally makes sense 🙂 Love it.
Omg this recipe is way TOO simple and delicious and healthy. I’m probably going to make some today to celebrate the weekend no joke!
Please do, Selena! 🙂
this is insane! I can’t believe it’s only 3 HEALTHY ingredients! totally need to make this asap!
Please do- They are delicious!
It’s hard to believe that something that looks THAT good has only three ingredients. Killin’ it again, Arman!!
Thanks so much, Jess!
I love the missing bite out of your fudge. It’s perfection.
Also perfection is that Caprese Pizza. It looks heavenly.
You wish it was your bite 😀
Looks tasty and is easy to make. Thanks.
You are so welcome, Magdalena! 🙂
