Healthy Desserts She’ll Love on Mother’s Day

dessert table

We all know the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, but the same can be said for a woman! What better way to show the special woman in your life how much she means to you on Mother’s Day than preparing a tasty sweet treat, all while keeping things healthy.

Here are a few recipes that can help you get started on a special Mother’s Day treat!

Brownie Batter Pancakes

 

(Serving size 6-8 silver-dollar pancakes)

  • 1/4 cup spelt, white, or ap of flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp dutch cocoa (Note: You can substitute this for regular cocoa, but I haven’t tried it in this recipe and therefore can’t personally vouch for the taste)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp sweetener of choice
  • 1/16 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tbsp applesauce or oil (Note: I use 1 tbsp oil and 1/2 tbsp applesauce, as I don’t like the taste of fat-free pancakes)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 4-5 tbsp milk of choice

Mix dry ingredients very well, then add wet. Make pancakes!

Vegan Raspberry Marzipan Muffins

  • 6 tbsp flour (Note” I use 60g spelt or ww pastry)
  • 1 and 1/2 tbsp veg oil or coconut oil (Note: You can substitute this with applesauce if you like the taste of fat-free muffins)
  • 3 tbsp liquid (eg. almond milk)
  • 1/4 cup chopped (or smushed) raspberries
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp pure almond extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/16 tsp salt

Sweetener (Note: If making these for others, I’d use 2 to 2 and 1/2 tbsp of sugar or 2 packets of stevia. Or, if you want to use liquid sweetener, cut back on the other liquids some.)
