I could go for peanut butter cups any time of year! These clean-eating peanut butter cups from The Gracious Pantry are gluten-free and really are clean eating for desserts.

Ooooh. These peanut butter balls from Oh She Glows are no bake and gluten-free.

These pumpkin spice balls from The Big Man’s World aren’t what I would normally go for, but they just look good, don’t they?! These are gluten-free, vegan, and paleo.
I just love the taste of cookie dough! This super-quick cookie dough Greek yogurt recipe from Dashing Dish could even double as a snack. Just don’t add too many chocolate chips. 🙂 This is gluten-free.
This is one of the healthiest desserts and only contains two ingredients. This strawberry yogurt bark from Hello Wonderful can also double as a snack. This recipe is gluten-free.

Filled muffins … so yummy from The Big Man’s World. For the filling, there are a few different options, some healthy and some not so healthy. I would try the version of the recipe using yogurt as one of the ingredients in the filling. These are gluten-free and have a vegan option.
Yay! Another protein-based dessert recipe! I always try to add protein into my baking. To make this healthy, I would try this recipe without the cream cheese in the topping and a healthier flour like garbanzo bean flour (from Courtney’s Sweets).
