Healthy Dessert Recipe Collection

A healthy dessert recipe can taste just as yummy as a naughty one! 

With a few swaps you can create some old favorites with healthier ingredients and no one will know the difference. 

Here at Chocolate Candy Mall, we have a LOT of naughty recipes.  I love their sweet gooey goodness, whether they are chocolate based desserts or not.

However, the older I get, the more I appreciate the importance of being a bit more sensible when it comes to a healthy diet. 

Cutting back on sugar intake is a great place to start, but there are other substitutions that can be made to turn less healthy treats into healthier options. 

In fact, it's about time we start a Healthy Dessert Recipe Collection. 

I'm adding a form down below where YOU can submit YOUR own favorite healthy recipes for desserts.  I especially look forward to your ideas for healthy chocolate desserts.

My friend Becky from Wisconsin has agreed to start us off with our first recipe.  I put out a request for homemade goodies and she was quick to share this cake recipe that she whipped up for a family birthday.  I hope you'll like it as much as I do.  Thanks Becky!  :)

Healthy Dessert Recipe For Chocolate Chip Cake
By Becky Kielas

I don't bake desserts very often but I am today. 

I'm making a cake for my mother in law's birthday. ;)

She doesn't have to eat healthy, but I do, and I want to enjoy cake with her, so I am making it with coconut flour, coconut sugar, and coconut cream.  

Here's my CHOCOLATE CHIP CAKE recipe...

• 1/2 c butter melted
• 1/2 c coconut milk
• 12 eggs
• 1 c sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 c sifted coconut flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 c sweet chocolate chips

1. Blend together everything except the flour, baking powder, and chocolate chips to make a wet batter.
   
   
2. Combine the coconut flour with baking powder, then whisk into the wet batter until there are no lumps.
   
   
3. Fold 1/2 cup of chocolate chips into the batter. Pour batter into a greased 11 x 7 x 2 inch or 9 x 9 x 2 inch pan. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips evenly over the top of the batter; they will sink into the cake while cooking.
   
   
4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 C) for 40 - 45 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool and frost.

This recipe is from the book, Cooking With Coconut Flour by Bruce Fife.
