Here are my favorite Paleo Valentine’s Day recipes. I’m not much of a romantic, so I must confess that Valentine’s Day is not my favorite holiday, however, there is an upside, and that is chocolate.
These gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo recipes are full of healthy ingredients such as coconut flour, almond flour, coconut oil, and dark chocolate. So give your loved ones some healthy paleo desserts, and save them from the high-carb hangover of traditional Valentine’s Day candy. If you’re on a hardcore low-carb diet you’ll love my Keto Brownies and Mint Chip Fat Bombs!
Some of the recipes below use honey or other paleo sweeteners. While a few may offer the option of agave nectar, please note that it is not considered a paleo sweetener. I offer this for the numerous vegans that come to my site for paleo vegan recipes. Please be nice to the vegans, and don’t yell at them about agave! I have an incredible Vegan Chocolate Cupcake recipe in my second book, Gluten-Free Cupcakes, that your vegan loved ones will absolutely adore!
You’ll notice there are quite a few brownie recipes below. That’s because my darling husband is quite passionate about brownies and that is what I usually make him for Valentine’s Day. My older son loves them too! My younger son is a big fan of my Paleo Sugar Cookies so I often make those for him during the year, and especially for Valentine’s day! ❤️

This is one of your most charitable gifts to your readers ( in a very long line of generous offerings)! Thank you Elana for your kindness!

Congrats Ares!
Thanks for putting all these great recipies in one, bookmark-able place :-) I’ll be referencing for a long time to come.
You’re welcome Emily!
I had a foot surgery a few days ago so I am not cooking anything (or even walking anywhere) this week. Too bad for my husband. We’ll celebrate another time with a nice meal. For now we are eating an expensive bar of dark chocolate together.
Hope you feel good again soon Sarah!
Thanks, Elana; I was wondering what dessert I was going to make the hubs! I think I’ll go for some chocolate chili truffles….yum yum yum. For the main course I will be cooking up some New York strip steaks with a brandy peppercorn sauce and sauteed mushrooms and onions on the side. Way better than buying the hubs a big stuffed bear, if I do say so myself :)
Sounds wonderful!
