I love peanut butter cookies but they are always a little greasy. I came up with this healthier version and it’s a little less greasy. I love it!
Healthy Desserts
Healthier Big Soft Ginger Cookies
These are just what they say: big, soft, gingerbread cookies that stay soft. This healthier version of the original recipe uses butter instead of margarine, less sugar, and some white whole wheat flour.
Sweet Baked Apples
Red apple slices baked in a caramel sauce with a hint of spice. Substitute cloves for cinnamon, if you like.
Apple Slump
This was a wintertime dessert when I was growing up. Sometimes served with ice cream. It’s still one of my favorites.
Oven-Fried Bananas
A unique and delicious low-fat dessert! For a chocolatey twist, coat the bananas in crushed puffed cocoa cereal instead of the breadcrumbs. Serve while hot, on top of fat-free ice cream. Alternatively, you can melt 2-3 tablespoons of ice cream and use to dip bananas in.
Lime and Tequila Infused Strawberries
This is a grown-up only recipe that can be eaten plain or turned into some adult strawberry shortcakes by serving over cake and topping with whipped cream.
Apple Snow
Fluffy and sweet, this apple treat is from the UK and goes great with ladyfingers and cream. This recipe contains raw eggs. We recommend that pregnant women, young children, the elderly and the infirm do not consume raw eggs.
Vanilla Frozen Yogurt
This frozen yogurt is so much easier than homemade ice cream! Just so you know, this freezes a lot quicker than ice cream. Also, if you want tart frozen yogurt, feel free to decrease the sugar!
Strawberry Champagne Soup
A wonderfully decadent summer cold soup to beat the heat and warm the senses. Soooo simple!
Candied Apples I
This recipe produces a very red, shiny candied apple. You can substitute a drop of cinnamon oil for the candies. After the apples are cooled, you can wrap them in colored plastic wrap and tie shut with curling ribbon. Makes a nice Halloween party treat.
Healthier Bread Pudding II
For a family that LOVES bread pudding, double this recipe and bake it in a 9×13-inch pan. Enjoy this healthier version – which features whole wheat bread, reduced sugar, and apple or pear – for breakfast or dessert! Optional: Dust lightly with confectioners sugar before serving. Yum!
Cranberry Ice
A frozen cranberry sorbet, cut into squares, that goes great with turkey. My kids love it!
Apple and Honey Sorbet
This is the sorbet I served on Rosh Hashana meal between first and main course. It is white flecked with bright green, tangy from the green apples, and sweet with honey. Fresh and fabulous. Shana Tova! I recommend eucalyptus blossom honey, easily found in Israel.
Flax Seed Carrot Cake
A sin-free, delicious, and fruity version of the ever-popular carrot cake. The flax seed meal may be omitted, but it can easily be found in health food stores. This cake is best served chilled because of its moist quality.
Raspberry Sorbet or Granita
No ice cream machine required! Partially sweetened with honey to give it a delicious sun-ripened quality. Very tart and very flavorful. This recipe is versatile, as the finished product can be an icy granita or smooth sorbet.
Apple and Pumpkin Dessert
I combined my love of apples and pumpkin to create this absolutely delicious dessert or snack I can easily make in my dorm. I’m convinced it’s better than pie!
