Who doesn’t like to indulge a little bit every once in a while? Take a break, eat a lot of sweets. But then we start considering how binging can be super destructive to our long-term health goals. But hey! What if we tell you that you can fulfil your sweet cravings while taking care of your health? Read on about these recipes compiled by Wedding Affair to find out. These are some better (calorie-controlled) versions of desserts that you will love!

Gluten-free chocolate chip cookies

These almond butter chocolate chip cookies are gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and grain-free thanks to almond butter, maple syrup, and almond flour. They’re the perfect healthier substitute for your traditional choco-chip dessert! Chewy, perfectly sweet, easy to make, and loaded with chocolate chips, you’re going to love this guilt-free treat. Gluten-free, paleo, keto-friendly, refined sugar-free…the list goes on, but most importantly these choco-chip cookies taste just as good as the real thing. Check out more at Broma Bakery’s website. This needs all-natural ingredients: almond butter, maple syrup, eggs (or flax eggs if you’re vegan!), almond flour, and dark chocolate. The result? A damn good healthy chocolate chip cookie.

Baked Apple Slices

It is different from other apple desserts, yet taste like the real deal. Naturally sweet and quintessentially fall, when apples are baked, their juices concentrate. The apples become a little jammy without falling apart, making them ideal for scooping by the forkful. Baked apples are the epitome of an easy apple dessert. As with these Hasselback Apples (another lazy efficient apple recipe), you don’t even have to peel the apples prior to baking, or fuss with a pie crust or crumble topping, to create a cosy fall treat that earns high marks. Enjoy these versatile baked apples for dessert (mmm, ice cream), breakfast (yoghurt and granola, please), or even a side dish (they pair fantastically with pork). (Source: Well Plated)dessert

Sesame panna cotta with maple toffee crisp

Combine ground seeds, milk, maple syrup and vanilla bean in a saucepan. Stir over low heat until the mixture almost boils. Remove from heat and set aside for 5 minutes to infuse. Remove vanilla bean. Meanwhile, place the gelatine and boiling water in a small heatproof bowl. Stir until the gelatine dissolves. Pour the gelatine mixture into the milk mixture. Stir to combine. Add the cream. Stir to combine. These are a couple of steps that initiate the process of panna cotta dessert making. To check out the full recipe, head to Taste.

Yoghurt and Cool Whip Pie

If you’re looking for an easy no-bake dessert, this quick and easy Cool Whip pie recipe is the one to try. It will be a welcome treat on a hot summer evening, especially when served with fruit that is in season. It only takes five minutes to make if you have a ready-to-use graham cracker crust. You pop it into the freezer for a couple of hours to firm it up. Once in the freezer, it will keep for days, so you can make several ahead of time. This light pie is fairly low in calories for a dessert. To reduce fat and calories, this recipe can be made with reduced-fat or no-sugar varieties of Cool Whip, yoghurt, and graham crackers.

Mousse au Chocolove

Rich, silky-smooth chocolate dessert that’s made with avocado and sweetened with dates. Check out Blissful Basil’s take on this dessert. Mmhmm, that’s the kind I’m talkin’ about. The kind that makes you feel as good as it tastes. This drool-worthy chocolate mousse recipe is from Rebecca Leffler’s Très Green, Très Clean, Très Chic: Eat (and Live!) the New French Way with Plant-Based, Gluten-Free Recipes for Every Season. This “Mousse au Chocolove” is both decadent and nourishing, and Rebecca provides several flavour variations, including chai-spiced, chocolate mint, and açai. This treat is intensely chocolaty with a pillow-like texture. The recipe calls for 1 Medjool date to sweeten.
