5 Healthy Holiday Dessert Recipes

[Puppylove94]

If you're trying to be a bit healthier this Christmas, here are some of my "go-to" recipes over the holidays.

1) Eggnog

Recipe:

2 cups Almond milk
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1/3 cup sugar or sugar substitute
1/4 tsp xantham gum
1 T freshly grated nutmeg

Cinnamon to taste
spiced rum (dark) to taste

Blend it in a blender so the Xantham gum can make it thick

2) Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge

Recipe:

1/2 cup coconut oil

1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup + 2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
salt to taste
1/3 cup + 2 tsp maple syrup

Melt the coconut oil and add in the dry ingredients. After it's smooth, add in the peanut butter. Put it in the fridge or freezer to solidify.

3) Reeses trees/buckeyes/whatever

Recipe:

Chocolate Layer:
1/4 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or skim milk)
1/4 cup Plain low fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
2 tbs Protein powder (or additional cocoa powder)
1 tbs Baking stevia (or 2 tbs sweetener of choice)
Peanut Butter Layer:
1/4 cup pb2
1/4 cup +1 tbs Water
1/2 tbs Baking stevia

Make each separately. Spray muffin tin with cooking spray. First spread chocolate layer, then peanut butter, than chocolate again. Put in fridge/freezer until solidifies.

4) Chocolate-Chip Cookies

Recipe:

2 tsp vanilla extract
3 T egg whites
4 tablespoons dark brown sugar, lightly packed
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 and 1/2 cups oat flour (regular oats blended)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

I'm not a big fan of sweet foods. They all look sweet to me.

But thanks for the idea. Someone should write a Take on savory holiday desserts.

[Puppylove94]

Savory desserts? No thank you haha like what?

[Opinion Owner]

A dessert is basically a meal after the main course. It may be sweet or savory. A savory dessert would be cheese, but I'm not a cheese person because they tend to make me thirsty afterwards due to the salt content. So, I'll go with salted nuts.

[Cccgala]

This Take is amazing! I'll see this as a future reference when I will make some of these dishes.

Whenever, wherever, chocolate chip cookies will always be an all-time favorite.

[MarkRet]

They all look great, except for the eggnog. I had eggnog once, and it was nasty! I'll never drink it again!

[Agirlwithalemon]

*Gasp* I feel bad for you. You need to try a good cup of eggnog.

[COCOCHANEL]

cool i actually have a lot of oats to use up
i'm going to make those cookies!

[COCOCHANEL]

[Puppylove94]

Here's the link I used 😊 Completely forgot about that! Be sure to follow the exact directions. If you don't leave the cookies in the ridge before you bake them, they really are super flat haha

[COCOCHANEL]

thankz (*ﾟ∀ﾟ*)

[Adigelunar]

Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge ı liked that good source of protein

[NightOwl8801]

[Cosytoasty]

[Puppylove94]

its AMAZING- I literally just made it. I actually added a peanut butter layer to it tho (same recipe but dont add cocoa powder) and swirled it in because i love peanut butter haha

At least you didn't say a vegan donut. I'm still trying to wrap my head around that one.

[Puppylove94]

It's easy enough... only difference is almond milk instead of regular milk and flaxseed meal instead of eggs

[AlwaysBelieving]

I'd try a Luther burger before a vegan donut. Yeah, I know. 😛🍩🍴🍽

[Autumn-Bunny]

Meeeeeehhhhhh none of these are vegan.

[Puppylove94]

You could easily make them vegan haha

[Autumn-Bunny]

I know... I just hate it when I go to someones house and I have to watch people people eat because nothing is vegan... now I know how my mom feels.

[Puppylove94]

Haha well why are you vegan?

[Autumn-Bunny]

Because I believe in it and I don't want to be a hypocrite

[Anonymous]

Who care about being heatlhy in Holliday XD

[Puppylove94]

Hahah I wish I didn't

[Opinion Owner]

Personally I don't :)

[venomhbk1313]

[Puppylove94]

[venomhbk1313]

Or splenda

[Puppylove94]

[venomhbk1313]

😉😉😉😉😉

[Zorax]

Interesting recipes, nice Take :)

[Smmyskittles]

<3 I was just looking for some of these!!

[ASEXY]

I only like number 4

[Puppylove94]

Why don't you like the others?

[ASEXY]

They don't fit my tastes.

[Puppylove94]

What are your tastes?

[ASEXY]

I like recipes that have vanilla, chocolate, coffee, sugar, whipped cream, cinnamon, and/or lemon. I'm not a big fan of mixtures that include nuts and peanut butter. I like nuts and peanut butter to be separate.

[lumberman9]

I'm not a dessert guy but those look good

[jjesica346]

Looks so good!

[cupidkisses]
