This treat is one of the many healthy dessert recipes out there that truly will make your mouth water in anticipation the moment you smell them in the oven. Cinnamon rolls are also, in my opinion, some of the fattiest desserts out there. I know for me, I’ll always have at least two or three from any batch before I realize I’ve consumed thousands of sugar-filled calories. But with these healthy vegan cinnamon rolls, having an extra one won’t make you go into a sugar coma afterward.

While oats and raisins are already pretty good for you, there are plenty of recipes out there that really go out of their way to add much more butter and sugar than needed to create these special batches. For these healthy oatmeal cookies, just add in a good bit of quinoa and flax followed up with sweetening them with honey and raisins! Easy, and good for you!

This was probably the most surprising recipe I found during my research for healthy dessert recipes that are capable of being made in anyone’s home. We all know that normal donuts are fried, carb-filled treats that are absolutely amazing sided with coffee. But we all know that they aren’t exactly great for our bodies either. These healthy chocolate glazed donuts taste just like any other donut, maybe even better! Instead of using flour for these desserts, the recipe says to use sweet potato instead! Crazy, but delicious!

Apple pie is known for being America’s fan-favorite dessert. And for me, nothing is as comforting as eating a spoonful of sweetened apples and crumbly crust! Especially if it’s healthy! This recipe replaces regular old flour with a much healthier version such as wheat flour. For the crust, coconut oil is suggested and ensures that there isn’t any unnecessary fat. This is a crucial step for making sure it turns out flaky! These steps are only the beginning of a whole recipe that replaces sugary and fattening ingredients with far healthier ones!
