I’m not sure if I really even need to explain why chocolate sandwich cookies are amazing. I mean, what kid does not point to prepackaged sandwich cookies in the store and beg to buy them? Only, these are not prepackaged, from the store, or full of refined sugar.
This healthy chocolate cake for kids is truly decadent yet totally guilt-free. Your kids will beg you to make this cake for them … and you’ll probably say, “Okay.” Because this cake is not only irresistibly delectable, it is also naturally sweetened with maple syrup, making it a much healthier alternative to the typical chocolate cake.
I originally came up with a homemade healthy chocolate recipe as a coating for my strawberry cake pops. It turned out to be the perfect coating, but it also seemed like it would make perfect homemade chocolate for baking and making candies.
I baked these chocolate chip cookies made with dates one time and they were instantly loved by every child who tried them – both my own and others in the neighborhood. And since that first time, these perfectly balanced cookies have become one of my regular recipes to make for my kids and as special treats for others.
This strawberry jam thumbprint cookies recipe was the answer to lowering my kids’ chocolate consumption. My kids are chocoholics, no doubt about it. I’ll admit that there is a maternal history of chocoholism in their family line, so they come by it naturally. And chocolate is just plain addicting for anyone, after all.
Is it just my kids who love jam? I mean, they think it’s a treat. Maybe it’s because I don’t buy jam on a regular basis because it’s loaded with added sugar. Prior to making my own homemade healthy strawberry jam recipe, I usually opted for alternatives (like honey or fresh fruit) to avoid that extra refined sugar.
If you have kids and you ever bake, you know the tug-of-war feeling of wanting to make a fun treat for your family while also wanting to feed their little bodies with nothing but the best. But when you naturally sweeten your baked goods and treats with dates, you can have the best of both worlds!
Healthy homemade buckeyes are a novelty we didn’t always have access to. But traditional buckeyes were one of my favorite treats to make with my mom during the Christmas season as a kid. Who can resist the rich and satisfying flavor of sweet peanut butter covered in a thick layer of chocolate coating?
Rice Krispie treats are a classic kid snack/dessert. But, honestly, I do not understand why they are sometimes given out as a snack at group events. Rice Krispie treats have no nutrition! If you are nodding along in agreement at this point, here is why you are going to be excited about these healthy rice Krispie treats kids love:
This homemade fluffy whipped cream is exactly what you need to top off any kid’s dessert. And you can’t buy whipped cream like this at the store.
Here’s what I love about this whipped cream: Everything! It is completely processed-sugar-free, it is super easy to make, it only requires 3 ingredients, and most importantly, it tastes incredible.
If you were to ask my toddler what she thinks of this silky chocolate tahini buttercream frosting … well, she wouldn’t say a word. Because she would be too busy licking every last bit of it off of her spoon 😀 I recently made my decadent chocolate layer cake, and I used this frosting for both the filling and the external frosting.
These healthy chocolate cookies are a classic. From the first time I made these, my kids, my husband and the neighbors all wanted more. And there are some very good reasons why these cookies are loved by all. For one thing, they are chocolate. Enough said. But beyond that, there is just something about these particular chocolate cookies that is addicting.
