Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth The Right Way!

I have created a few concoctions worth sharing (or at least I thought so). Forgive my awful photography skills and just trust me when I tell you how these deserts are delicious and incredibly healthy!! Indulge away. :)

  

2 Minute Muffin:

1 Cup Shredded Wheat Cereal (I use unfrosted shredded wheat cereal)

1Tbsp Egg Whites

1tsp Vanilla Extract

4 Dates (pitted)

1/2tsp Baking Powder

1/4 Cup Vanilla Unsweetened Almond Milk

1Tbsp Spelt Flour

In a food processor/blender/ninja/etc. blend all ingredients together until smooth. Put the mixture into a coffee mug and microwave (yes, microwave) for 2 minutes on high. Pop out of cup and eat on plate, or just eat it straight out of the coffee mug!

Chocolate "Milkshake":

One Frozen banana (the greener the better when you freeze it! It gives it less of a 'banana' taste, but if you like that flavor go for it at any ripeness)

1/4 Cup Oats 

1Tbsp Cocoa Powder

1tsp Vanilla Extract

2Tbsp Unsweetened Almond Milk (more or less depending on how thick you like your milkshakes)

1/2 Tbsp Honey (more if you like things really really sweet)

Crushed Pure Dark Chocolate for  topping

Blend all ingredients together in a food processor/blender/what-have-you, top with crushed dark chocolate and enjoy!

No-Bake Fig Cookies: (Makes 5 Cookies)

About 8 Dried Figs

1/2 Cup Oats

1tsp Cinnamon

1/2tsp Vanilla Extract

(optional) 1/4 Cup Blueberries, Dried or Fresh

Mix everything in the food processor or something similar and form into balls, let sit for a firmer texture or enjoy right away!

Chocolate Chunk Cookies: (Makes 5 Cookies)

1/4 Cup Spelt Flour

1/4 Cup Oats

4 Dried Figs

1tsp Cinnamon

3 Tbsp Egg Whites

1tsp Vanilla Extract

1/2 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk

1tsp Baking Powder

Dark Chocolate for topping

Mix all ingredients together in a food processor, place on cookie sheet and top with the dark chocolate.

Bake at 350 for about 7-8 minutes or until desired 'doneness' is achieved.

Let me know how these things work for you, and please please let me know if you find a better way of making any of these items. I'm always up for new ideas!
