Healthy Desserts
My collection of healthy desserts are the perfect treat when you don't want to feel guilty for splurging. Even, though they are healthy doesn't mean they aren't tasty. Just like all desserts, these are hard to keep to just one serving, but since they are healthier you won't have to feel bad about having seconds. Plus, almost every single one is vegan, dairy and gluten free, too!

Andes Chocolate Mint Pie
This pie is not my usual healthy recipe...I made this pie up many years ago for a Holiday dessert and ever since that first year, it is requested every year. Everyone always compliments me on it and my family fights over the extras, if there are any and usually there aren’t...It’s ready in about 10 minutes...
Apple Oat Protein Bars (No Bake!)
I wanted to make a fall style dessert, but since I live in a warm state I didn’t want to turn the oven on. I love apples, I have one everyday. So, I was inspired to make a fall dessert that was influenced by one of my favorite foods, apples...
Apple Protein Crumble

Brownie Batter Bites
I scoured the internet for a healthy brownie batter bite and I couldn’t find any that I would consider healthy, that actually sounded like they would taste like a brownie...So, I figured out a way to make them myself.

Caramel Filled Pecan Pumpkin Pie Bites
These taste like a bit sized pumpkin pie, with an added bonus of pecans and caramel. They are not the usual texture of a protein bite. They are a creamy smooth texture, just like pumpkin pie. I wasn’t lying when I said they were pumpkin pie bites...
Chocolate Chip Cashew Butter Cookies
After figuring out a delicious, healthy brownie... figured I try my luck with making chocolate chip cookies using chickpeas as a base....I tasted the batter before popping them in the oven, and was very pleasantly surprised that at my first attempt I had the perfect combination of ingredients...These cookies are gooey, and stay gooey.
Chocolate Protein Pudding
I love pudding, but don’t want the dairy...So, I tried making my own....So, I grabbed my handy helper (Xander), and we tested out a made up recipe, that just so happened to turn out delicious....
Gooey Black Bean Brownies
I have to admit that these brownies are so good that I had one with vanilla coconut milk ice cream the other day for dinner. It was so gooey and delicious! To be completely honest I wanted to have seconds, but I didn’t. Not because it would have been bad for me to have seconds. I mean these brownies are super healthy for you...
Healthy Spiced Apples
These spiced apples are the perfect combination of sweet and a bit of spice. They are great as a topping over vanilla coconut ice cream, or traditional ice cream if you eat dairy. I like to warm them up a little bit first and then top the apples with chopped pecans for a little crunch. Don’t get me wrong these are delicious all on their own too...
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars with Creamy PB Frosting
These brownies are truly super good for you!...The creamy peanut butter frosting on these brownies is super scrumptious! By using the peanut powder instead of actual peanut butter, I was able to cut the calories down but still get the full flavor of the peanuts...

The crisp smell that is in the air makes you crave everything fall. The sweet, the savory,...the sweet! One of the most popular sweet treats in the fall is pumpkin pie. Which, is hard to make, because it's difficult to find the time to make it...(My Pumpkin Fluff Pie with Pecan-Graham Cracker Crust) is super quick to make with no cook time. You can whip this pie up in a fraction of the time it would take to make traditional pumpkin pie...
Quick Spicy Oatmeal Pan Cookies
These breakfast cookies are a great alternative to the same old oatmeal routine. They are so delicious and have a unique spice, which is great. Especially when you are in the mood for something different and exciting. These cookies are great anytime of day, but are perfect for a morning snack or breakfast, because of their metabolism revving ability. I love to eat these delicious cookies topped with greek yogurt and blueberries, yum!...
Trail Mix Candies
These are so addicting! Right after I made these, I ate one and then a second and then later that night I shared a thrid with my 3 year old son, Xander. He loved these too! They were so easy to make too! The best part is that they are made with healthy ingredients...
