We're firm believers in enjoying the little luxuries in life—including dessert—as often as we can. We're also major advocates for feeling our best and performing at the highest level. Los Angeles–based Crosby Tailor knows this and is on a mission to bake sweet, clean treats.

Tailor is a Los Angeles–based modern-day renaissance man: He's a health and fitness coach, a model, a sugar-free dessert chef, and the founder of Crosby's Baking Co. He was long dissatisfied with the way that traditional desserts left him feeling, so he began to experiment with creating sugar-free, nutrient-packed recipes. The results were clean and delicious, so he started to publish the results on his Instagram—landing him more than 80k followers who were dreaming of his superfood sweet creations.

He recently founded Crosby's Baking Co., a sugar-, gluten-, and grain-free dessert company born from a labor of self-love. He hacked the clean dessert world and has come up with countless guilt-free recipes—each boosted with superfoods and beneficial ingredients that promote health, and each void of sugar and other harmful ingredients. When he's not at Erewhon, in the kitchen, or at the gym, Tailor is sharing his wealth of knowledge via his Instagram, @crosbytailor, where he shares his recipes, workouts, and health/fitness tips—with a focus on gut health.

Here, three recipes from Tailor's Los Angeles kitchen that will sweeten your days and leave you feeling amazing.
