Let’s say you’ve just made a delicious batch of healthier vanilla cupcakes for your child’s birthday party. Time to frost them. But with what? How about this honey-sweetened vanilla buttercream frosting recipe!
It’s just plain tough being a health-conscious parent in the heat of summer when sugary frozen treats abound, isn’t it? Well, fear not because these healthy chocolate popsicles for kids are the perfect antidote to the ice cream and popsicle treats your kids’ friends get to have every hot summer day.
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.
I can think of nothing else I loved to lick off of a beater more than chocolate chip cookie dough as a kid (who am I kidding? That’s still my favorite thing to lick off of a beater!). And that is the inspiration behind these chocolate chip cookie dough energy balls.
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.
After reading the title of this recipe, you might be thinking to yourself, “What is a pancake muffin?” Well, let me just explain it to you this way: This blueberry pancake muffins recipe delivers the taste and texture of a pancake without you having to stand over a hot stove practicing your flipping skills for a half hour.
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.
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.
I had to go through a couple of recipe trials to arrive at this perfect buttermilk pancakes recipe. Although making pancakes from scratch is pretty easy with a recipe, it is a little more challenging when you are trying to be innovative.
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!
