Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
The Minimalist Baker

These cookies are flour and processed sugar free, vegan, and irresistible. They have oats in them too. Don’t let the aquafaba scare you. It is the brine or liquid in a can of garbanzo beans. I now keep some in my freezer in case I want to make these cookies, but do not want open a can of beans. The Minimalist Baker is my favorite food blog!

Flourless Chocolate Chip Cookies (made with beans!)
The Betty Rocker

You would never know the base of these cookies is beans. I have quizzed many after their first bite and no one guesses beans. They are super nutritious as far as cookies go and are a favorite at our house. I use peanut butter and this makes them even more delicious.

Naturally Sweetened Candied Pecans
COOKIE + kate

These make salads taste like a treat! And they are great on their own too. I used butter, but I bet a vegan butter/oil would work well too. I skipped the cayenne so my son would eat them.

No Bake PB Brownie Bars
Minimalist Baker

I love peanut butter and chocolate and have been on the hunt to find the best healthy combinations. These bars are my favorite of those that I have tried. They aren’t too sweet, just perfect. I cut them into small pieces so I can make them last. I like that they are stored in the freezer as well.

No Bake Chocolate PB Oat Bars (4 Ingredients!)

I know I said the bars above are my favorite, but these bars are amazing too (and my husband’s favorite). These bars are sweeter. Almost like candy. So good and such a healthy dessert.

The Best Healthy Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins
Ambitious Kitchen

These muffins are sweet, light, and my son’s favorite of all the muffins I have made for him. Warming a muffin up and adding a little butter (or butter alternative) is heaven on a plate.

Strawberry Greek Yogurt & Oat Muffins
Moon and spoon and yum

These are delicious and my son’s favorite muffin these days. They are made with oat flour instead of regular flour or almond flour. I like to put a pecan or two on top for crunch.

Pumpkin Protein Muffins
Betty Rocker

I have made these muffins too many times to count. Sometimes I add cranberries, dark chocolate chips, and nuts. They are filling and can be eaten as a meal or a snack.

Almond Flour Bread
All Recipes (& Honestly Fitness)

This bread is really easy and you may already have the ingredients on hand (except for the flax meal which you could keep on hand from now on). This bread is almost like cornbread, but not dry at all. We love it with some vegan butter and paired with soup or salad.

Asian Kale Salad
Minimalist Baker

This salad is extremely flavorful. I tried out a new ingredient I had never used before and loved it, chili garlic sauce. It has some heat, but the heat can be controlled by using less or more of this sauce. I doubled the garbanzo beans and the dressing to have more on hand to be enjoyed with the leftover salad ingredients.

Black Bean Sweet Potato Enchiladas
COOKIE + kate

These enchiladas are so delicious, I promise you won’t miss the meat. They are great for having company over (I double the batch to ensure we still have leftovers). I omit the jalapeño usually and there is plenty of flavor from the green chilis and spices.
