Looking for healthy recipes to make for Valentine’s Day? Here are over 50 recipes with everything from dessert to main dishes and beverages!
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and whether you have a romantic date night, Galentine’s party with friends or a solo self-care night planned I wanted to round up some healthy Valentine’s Day recipes for you! I’ve got you covered with everything from desserts (lots of chocolate!) to main dishes and beverages.
We usually plan a night out for Valentine’s Day (which also happens to be my birthday), but with getting older and having kids we’ve been really enjoying our date nights in, so that’s probably what we’ll do this year. Might even take out the cloth napkins and fancy wine glasses. #adulting
Desserts
It’s so easy to just pick up a box of chocolates at the store for dessert, but if you really want to elevate your Valentine’s Day dinner I highly recommend making one of these homemade treats instead! With so many delicious options, from brownies and chocolate cake to chocolate-covered fruit and strawberry sorbet, there’s definitely something for everyone!

Healthy Valentine’s Day Recipes + Flourless Chocolate Cake
By: Brittany Mullins
Here you'll find over 50 different healthy Valentine's Day recipes as well as a recipe for flourless chocolate cake.
Prep Time: 8 minutes minutes
Cook Time: 22 minutes minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes minutes
Servings: 16
Ingredients
Cake
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- ½ cup solidified coconut oil
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup cocoa powder
Chocolate ganache
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- ¼ cup non-dairy milk, almond, oat or coconut milk work
Topping
- Powdered sugar, for topping
- Fresh raspberries, for serving
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F and grease an 8 inch cake pan or 8 inch springform pan.
Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until fully melted. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments, stirring in between until the chocolate has melted.
Let chocolate cool slightly then add coconut sugar, salt and vanilla and stir to combine.
Whisk in eggs.
Gently add cocoa powder and stir to combine.
Pour chocolate mixture into greased or parchment-lined pan and bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Let cake cool for 10-15 minutes before removing from pan. When removing the cake from the cake pan, loosen the edges with a butter knife and carefully turn it upside down onto a plate or serving platter. The bottom of the cake will now be the top of the cake! Let it cool completely before topping and serving.
While cake is cooling, make chocolate ganache by adding chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl. Melt chocolate chips in the microwave using 30 second increments and stirring between each. It shouldn’t take more than 90 seconds or so. Once chocolate is melted, add milk to the bowl and stir until well combined. Pour chocolate over the cooled cake and spread to cover.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with fresh berries.
