FAQs

Are these recipes kid-friendly?

Yes. Start with the parfait, granola, apple muffins, and overnight oats. Adjust peppermint strength in the shake for younger palates and chop nuts finely or omit for little ones.

Can I make these without dairy?

Absolutely. Use plant-based yogurt/milk, dairy-free chocolate, and a vegan protein powder where applicable. Protein content may vary slightly with swaps.

What if I’m gluten-free?

Choose certified gluten-free oats for granola and overnight oats. The keto muffins and tiramisu are naturally gluten-free when made as directed.

How low is “low sugar” here?

These recipes minimize added sugar by using Pyure organic sweeteners and organic sugar-free syrups. Some include natural sugars from fruit (banana, dates, apples), but there’s no refined sugar added in most cases. Check each linked recipe for full nutrition details.

Where can I buy Pyure products?

Find Pyure at major retailers, many natural grocers, online marketplaces, and directly from PyureOrganic.com.

Can I prep these ahead?

Yes. Granola keeps 1–2 weeks in an airtight container. Overnight oats hold 3–4 days refrigerated. Muffins freeze well up to 2 months. No-bake brownies are freezer-friendly.
