Posted on Jun 28, 2019

Adhering to a healthy, balanced diet doesn’t have to be boring or restrictive. Put down that candy bar and dig into one of these three delicious recipes for healthy baked sweets!


1. Apple and Carrot Muffins

These "Superhero" muffins from Cookie + Kate are a sweet, delicious bit to have for breakfast of as an afternoon pick-me-up. They are jam-packed with grated carrots and apples, chopped walnuts, and almond flour for a filling muffin that is gluten-free and naturally sweetened.

This recipe calls for almond meal or flour, old-fashioned oats, cinnamon, baking soda, sea salt, honey or maple syrup, eggs, unsalted butter, Granny Smith apples, and carrots. Mix in chopped walnuts, pecans, raisins, or chocolate chips for added texture, heartiness, or sweetness!

There are plenty of ways to alter the recipe to meet your dietary needs. Replace the almond flour for whole wheat flour and use raisins or chocolate chips instead of nuts for those with nut allergies. While the eggs are more difficult to substitute, you can replace the butter with coconut oil to lower the dairy content.

This recipe yields 12 muffins to help keep your sweet tooth at bay.
