4 Tips To Make Healthier Desserts

If you want to make your own healthier dessert recipe like the ones above, here are my top 4 tips for doing so:

  • Make them flourless. You don’t need white flour to make a healthy treat…there are so many other options these days. For example, you can use almond flour, coconut flour, oats, flax meal or even chickpeas. And, I promise you, you won’t find much of a difference.
  • Use a nut or seed butter and dark chocolate. Once you get used to eating dark chocolate, you will never want to go back to the sugary type. It took me less than a month to switch to eating 85% chocolate and adding in some almond butter or peanut butter really takes it over the top. If you’re a fan of chocolate and are trying to reduce your sugar intake, you need to try this.
  • Sweeten with fruit, honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar. Now is it true that these ingredients also affect your blood sugar levels, but they are more nutritious than white sugar. It’s even better if you go for fruit like bananas or dates to sweeten your desserts.
  • Add fruit or a vegetable. To bulk up your desserts, but keep them low in calories add a fruit or a vegetable to your recipe! Perfect examples here would be bananas, zucchini, pumpkin or butternut squash, pears or apples. This way you could eat dessert while getting your daily serving of fruits and vegetables in!
Super easy healthy chocolate rice bars - delicious and only 5 ingredients. These healthy bars are made with peanut butter, rice cakes and dark chocolate and are a great healthy meal prep recipe too! You’ll love these when you have chocolate craving - they’re a great healthy dessert and so easy to make.

18 easy healthy dessert ideas perfect for snacks as they're low in calories, nourishing and all delicious! These easy dessert recipes include no-bake desserts, flourless desserts and kid-approved treats!

Ingredients

For the Chocolate Rice Cake Bars

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped chocolate
  • 6 rice cakes
  • 1 tsp almond flour
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Melt the chocolate with the coconut oil in the microwave in 20-30s intervals, until completely melted. Stir in between to speed this process up. It actually took me one interval of microwaving to melt the chocolate.
  2. Stir in the peanut butter until well combined.
  3. Break/Crumble the rice cakes and add them to the mixture.
  4. Add a tsp of almond flour and mix it all together until all the rice cakes are covered with the chocolate.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the mixture evenly.
  6. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until completely firm.
  7. Slice in pieces and enjoy! Keep refrigerated as these bars melt pretty quickly at room temperature.
