I was shocked the first time I made these marshmallows – because I could not believe I had actually just made marshmallows from scratch! Even better than that, this healthy marshmallow recipe does not contain a speck of refined sugar. As I finished mixing up my very first batch of DIY marshmallows with maple syrup, I was surprised that my grade A dark maple syrup could turn so … white!
I’ve always found it odd that those little sugar-filled packets of gummies for kids are called “fruit snacks”. I mean, giving kids a packet of sugar is hardly what I would call a snack of fruit. But this healthy gummies recipe for kids actually can qualify as a snack without any guilt!
What kid (or person for that matter) doesn’t love a soft, sweet cinnamon roll fresh from the oven? But today I have something even better than typical cinnamon rolls for your kids to enjoy: Healthier cinnamon rolls that are refined sugar free and dairy free! This cinnamon rolls recipe is super soft and sweet, but it is so much easier on a parent’s conscience.
This super easy banana cake recipe that requires just two ingredients is delicious and suitable for children of all ages. Even babies who have started eating solids can partake of this simple and nutritious treat. This simple banana cake recipe without flour, eggs, dairy or sugar works for so many diet restrictions without sacrificing taste.
When I decided to create a dairy free recipe for healthy chocolate peanut butter cups that are entirely refined sugar free, I honestly thought it would be super easy. How hard could it be to make chocolate and peanut butter taste delicious together? But it’s not quite that simple when you are using unprocessed whole food sweeteners that contain moisture.
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 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.
My kids literally cannot get enough of this creamy strawberry popsicles recipe. And, to be honest, I am surprised. Not because I don’t think they are good. But whenever I make a new recipe, it’s really a toss-up as to how it will go over with my kids. My 7-year-old is incredibly particular. My toddler is not so particular, but she’s still … a toddler.
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!
