Easy to make dessert and sweet treat recipes! Delicious cakes, brownies, cookies, bars, crisps, and everything else in between.  A mix of healthy and indulgent too!

Healthy Chocolate Banana Bread

I am a major fan of and a firm believer in cake for breakfast. Especially if that cake is chocolate cake! Which is pretty much exactly what Healthy Chocolate Banana Bread is! A decadently delicious chocolate treat that is good enough for you to be enjoyed as your morning meal. […]

Homemade Funfetti Cake

Funfetti is my family’s tried and true favorite cake! We’ve had it at almost every birthday celebration since I can remember and we typically always make a boxed, sheet cake version. Which is of course delicious, but I have been wanting to create a homemade version for quite some time […]

Gluten Free Copycat Cosmic Brownies

Do you remember that classic lunchbox treat of your childhood, Little Debbie’s Cosmic Brownies? I am almost positive that you do because they are truly iconic. Pretty much pure nostalgia! But also let’s be honest … kind of pure junk. Now trust me I do not mean in taste, they’re […]

Gluten Free Lemon Cookies

What do you do when life gives you lemons? You make Gluten Free Lemon Cookies of course! Or lemonade, but I’m choosing the cookies. Gluten Free Lemon Cookies are like soft & cakey sugar cookies with an added burst of lemon flavor. They’ve got fresh lemon zest mixed throughout, plus […]

Vegan Edible Cookie Dough

I think we can all agree that one of the best parts of baking cookies is eating the raw dough. Lets’s be honest, sometimes we even skip the whole cookies part all together and go to town on the tub of dough! I mean everybody has those days! And that’s […]

Almond Butter Blondies

Blondies have got to be one of my favorite dessert inventions. They pretty much combine two of the best desserts out there, chocolate chip cookies and brownies, into one delicious cookie bar creation. And I am so here for it! So as I do, I created a better-for-you version of […]

Cherry Pie Crumble Bars

A sure sign of summer in my house is when we’ve got loads and loads of fresh cherries on hand. They are just the fruit of summer for me! I love cherries in my oatmeal and own their own as a healthy snack, but my favorite way to enjoy them […]

Healthy Peanut Butter Cup Brownie Bites

I’m sure my love for the peanut butter chocolate combination comes as no surprise to any of you! My favorite candy growing up was alway Reece’s peanut butter cups, so i’m truly not shocked that the love has transferred into a lot of my recipes. It’s just an irresistible combo! […]

S’mores Brownies

Summer equals s’mores and s’mores equals summer. At least for me! There is just nothing better than a bonfire on a summer night complete with a delicious s’mores in hand. I was inspired by the classic summertime treat, to create these S’mores Brownies. They are everything a brownie should be […]
