The Easiest Ways to Make Healthier Desserts

You can cook and bake healthier desserts that will make your family smile and lick their plates. You simply have to adjust some ingredients and techniques to make them a reality.

Try these ideas:

1. Use more fruit. Using fruit instead of sugar is one of the easiest ways to create healthier desserts.  

  • The fruit has naturally high levels of sugar, but it’s also packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber. It’s better for you to eat an apple than a donut because the donut won’t provide you with vitamins, minerals, or fiber.
  • Fruits like bananas, strawberries, blueberries, and others are easy to incorporate into many recipes. They can help you reduce the amount of white or brown sugar you add to recipes. They can also help you create a unique taste to your desserts that will amaze your family.

2. Change your butter or oil. Another way to make healthier desserts is to change the butter and oil in the recipes. Butter and oil can add fat and extra calories to your dishes.

  • Instead, use applesauce. Many healthier desserts taste better with applesauce instead of butter or oil.

  • Another option is to use mashed beans instead of oil.
  • Tofu can also work as a substitute for butter. You simply have to ensure it’s soft and pureed.

3. Switch to whole flour instead of white flour. By switching the type of flour you use, you can get a healthier dessert. Many recipes allow you to use whole flour instead of white flour.

  • Whole flour adds fiber that is necessary for a strong digestive system. Sadly, many desserts don’t have much fiber.

4. Use beets to reduce sugar. It’s hard to make a sweet dessert without sugar, but beets can help you cut down the total amount you need. You can use raw, grated beets instead of some of the sugar in a recipe.

5. Make smaller portions. You don’t need to make giant chocolate chip cookies that cover the whole pan. Instead, focus on smaller portions that are healthier and still fun to eat.

  • Experts recommend making your cookies and other dessert servings smaller. You also want to limit how many you eat in one sitting.

6. Use more bananas. Bananas can be turned into ice cream, pudding, and many other healthy desserts.

  • You can use a food processor to turn plain bananas into creamy ice cream with no extra sugar or other ingredients. Freeze them after you’re done, so they can be transformed.
  • Bananas are high in potassium and have other vitamins and minerals.

7. Use more dates. Dates are fruits that have a sticky texture. Dates are a fun option for making healthier desserts. They can hold together cookies, bars, tarts, and other baked goods. They also have high levels of fiber and other nutrients.

  • They’re naturally sweet, so you don’t need to add much sugar to a date recipe.

Experiment with healthier desserts. You don’t have to completely cut out dessert from your life. Instead, consider ways you can experiment with healthier recipes in the kitchen.

Healthier desserts can be fun to make with your family. They can be a delicious addition to your meal plans and don’t have to be filled with a ton of sugar or calories. You don’t have to sacrifice taste and texture to reduce calories or sugar.
