I am always trying to come up with pumpkin recipes for the fall that my kids will actually like. They aren’t huge fans of pumpkin, so it’s no easy task. Which is why I am so surprised that both of my kids have been absolutely loving this pumpkin cake pops recipe! But this great success has not come easily.
You know, kids are some of the most wasteful creatures when it comes to food. It’s pretty rare that my kids finish an entire muffin in one sitting. That’s why these mini chocolate chip muffins are just right for mini mouths. Mini muffins are just the right size breakfast or snack for kids of all different ages. For toddlers, one is just right.
I want to get back to basics and clarify the roots of why I started Naturally Sweetened Kids. I want to talk about the giant M&M in the room: Why is sugar such a big deal? Keep reading to find out why we need to be proactive in educating our children about sugar consumption.
I used to bake with sugar alcohols (primarily xylitol) for a time because I needed to reduce my first daughter’s consumption of all carbs and sugars drastically. This was in an effort to fight a candida overgrowth we had been battling since she was born. Xylitol seemed like an amazing alternative to sugar. It did not contain any sugar or carbs but still made baked goods taste sweet without an aftertaste.
Are you looking for a soft chewy caramel corn recipe that you can feel better about giving your children this Fall season? Well then, have I got a treat for you – literally! Without a doubt, caramel corn is one of the most popular and festive Autumn desserts. But with a very poor nutrition profile, the additional facts that this traditional treat is also hard on teeth and a choking hazard for small children makes it hard to justify letting kids indulge.
I’m not sure what it is about strawberries, but it seems to be the one fruit kids can’t get enough of. Whether it is fresh strawberries, strawberry popsicles or homemade strawberry cupcakes like these … strawberry anything is hard to keep on hand for more than a day at our house. If you can relate to having a strawberry-loving child, this healthy cupcakes recipe is just what you need.
This chocolate pumpkin candy is so incredibly easy to make. Even the busiest of parents can spend five minutes in the kitchen to create this delightful Autumn treat. You only need four simple ingredients and a pumpkin candy mold to make this no-fuss Fall dessert. This is pretty much a fail-proof recipe, so even those who are not used to baking and treat-making can easily produce this pumpkin spice-infused chocolate candy.
The inspiration behind this strawberry cake pops recipe was two-fold. First, I wanted to create something really fun for kids (and what could be more fun than cake on a stick?) that would not cause sugar-rush anxiety for parents. And secondly, I am always racking my brain to come up with naturally sweetened treats my kids will actually like that don’t contain chocolate.
If you are looking for a fall cut out cookie recipe that won’t give your kids a sugar rush, you have arrived at your destination 😀 Because these no chill sugar cookies are sweetened only with raw honey. But don’t be fooled! This healthy version of cut out cookies is every bit as desirable to kids as the traditional sugar cookie recipe.
You might not believe this … but these frozen yogurt berry bites for toddlers are actually magnets.
It’s true! These little frozen bites of protein are taste bud magnets. Because once toddlers get a taste, there’s no keeping them from consuming the entire batch in one sitting. Trust me, I have personal experience with my own toddler.
Cheesecake in a ball. I’m not sure who thought of it, but it’s a genius way to make and serve these chocolate cheesecake balls to kids. Sometimes the thought of making a cheesecake is a little too much. I mean, we adults are busy. If we want to make a snack or treat for our kids that needs to be baked, it requires schedule-rearranging and time management skills.
A healthy waffle recipe for kids that tastes great and is super easy to make? Now that sounds like the kind of breakfast plan every parent needs on a Saturday morning. If your kids are anything like mine, you probably spend most Saturday mornings making something a little bit extra special for them to enjoy on their day off from school.
