Treat Yourself to Healthier, Real Food Desserts
Does eating healthy, real foods mean giving up all desserts and other sweet treats?
I definitely don’t think that the eating well and enjoying dessert have to be in opposition to one another. In fact, it’s really about the ingredients that you use, far more than about the particular dish that you’re creating. So in theory, we should be able to swap in some better, alternative ingredients and simply enjoy our goodies.
One challenge, however, can be finding dessert recipes using those wholesome ingredients, that don’t taste bland, dry or just plain old blah. Ever had any “healthy” desserts like that?
The ebook I’m giving away today is a fun compilation of tempting, delicious treats full of real food goodness. They make use of old-fashioned fats, soaked whole grains or nutritious nut flours, unrefined sweeteners, and absolutely none of the junky stuff like hydrogenated oils or high fructose corn syrup. But these recipes actually taste GOOD.
Kate, author of Treat Yourself: Real Food Desserts, had this collection of 32 cakes, cookies, cupcakes, frostings, pies, frozen treats and more carefully tested by a team of recipe testers (you can see the entire list of recipes included in the book here).
Although I wasn’t a tester myself, I did decide to treat our own family to her Chocolate Cake I, with Cream Cheese Frosting for my husband’s birthday. It was just as I think chocolate cake should be. Moist, lightly sweetened (but not overly sweet), rich chocolatey flavour, with a perfectly sweet and tangy frosting.
Naturally-sweetened desserts like these may not have that same confectionary taste as their white-sugar bakery counterfeits, and they won’t last indefinitely on the shelf or in the fridge, either. It might take a small bit of getting used to for those accustomed to store-bought treats, but once you do, I guarantee you won’t want to go back. I love that I can fearlessly indulge in the occasional goodie, without guilt, and the whole idea of this aptly named ebook is that we can “treat ourselves” without having to compromise.
It’s killing me that I’m writing this post as I finish up my last few week’s of a completely sweetener-free diet, because I’ve got so many recipes in this book that I’m eager to try out… carrot cake, chocolate eclairs, vanilla bean cheesecake. Mmmmm.
I love just about anything with real, dark chocolate. Since I have started eating dark chocolate, I hardly ever touch the fake, waxy stuff (kisses). This book seems great. I guess you can have your cake and eat it too!

My absolute favorite dessert is a brownie sundae but the whole food desserts that I’m most interested in are probably frostings.
My favorite dessert would have to be key lime pie!
I would love to know how to make healthy cakes. That is something I really miss.
Oohh it all looks wonderful. I think we’d like to make the spice cake first (and then systematically try everything else). Yum!

My very favorite dessert on the planet is fruit pizza. I think it would be an easy enough recipe to make wholesome, but I wouldn’t have a clue where to start. I’d LOVE to win this book!

We are new to the real food way of life so I haven’t tried my hand at many desserts yet. Right now we are hooked on pumpkin bars.
I would like anything chocolate or any kind of fruit cobbler…it’s hard to get those with out sugar. Thanks!
Cheesecake. Preferably with chocolate. But I’ve been using a lot of honey and sucanat and frankly just cutting the amount of sugar in half sometimes, things like that.

Real food desserts are a challenge for me, especially because my husband LOVES candy and store bought junk foods. I cook most of our meals and stock the pantry with healthy snacks, but he regularly brings home this crap (which of course, the kids then want). I keep trying though. *sigh*

I would love to have a book with healthy dessert recipes. I bake all the time and I only use whole wheat flour when baking for my family. I am always trying to tweak recipes to make them healthier. My family never knows what my goodies are going to taste like. I have had some not too great desserts but also alot of desserts that did turn out. Our desserts just have a different texture 🙂
My family loves brownies and anything chocolate.
Lemon custard! Yummm 🙂
Cheesecake! I’m not sure it would be a good idea for me to make, though. I’m sure I’d eat the whole thing by myself!

Hi Stephanie! So my favorite dessert… oh man. I will tell you this – I make some phenomenal cinnamon rolls. Better than cinnabon. I only make them once a year for Christmas breakfast but believe it or not, those cinnamon rolls represented to me what I was giving up by switching to a primal diet without grains. It took a while to make the plunge, though I told myself there was no reason why I couldn’t still have them once a year, right? So they would be the favorite, though I love a lot of other holiday treats. I might try to sourdough them this year and see how it goes!

I would love to win the cookbook so I could make scones for my family. My daughter became very sick four years ago. We went to one doctor after another each time they would give her a pain reliever and a muscle relaxant. God is so good. He puts christian people in our lives when we need them the most. While we were transitioning our farm to organic we met a christian couple that treat people naturally. After examining her they said that her body can not handle refined flour or sugar to switch to organic spelt and honey. We went home and changed our diet. Praise God she is healthy as long as she stays away from refined flour and sugar.
I love cakes and cookies.. oh and ice creams too.. its hard to decide!

Hi. I SO want to make the cinnamon rolls! I’ve been trying to transition my diet since I have been in pain for 2 years after a bad car accident (drunk hit me). Since beginning the transition a month or two ago, my pain levels have decreased from 8 to 4 (on a scale of 1-10)! Praise God! He knows what makes our bodies heal! I haven’t been able to find and “healthy” desserts for my sweet tooth, though. This will be perfect!

I have completed a 21 cleanse and realize that white flour and sugar are not working for me. In fact they work against me, causing weight gain, fatigue and a myriad of other symptoms. I will need to change my cooking and eating habits after 52 years–tough job. Having the opportunity to make desserts that will not send my body back to where I was would be so great. I have been working on eating real food–and bought real food on a real budget hard copy a couple of months ago. I would love to have this book also. Thanks for your help, getting me back on track.
I LOVE to bake. My favorite dessert will always remain angel food cake with strawberries. My husband prefers tiramisu (in cake form), so that’s always a yearly birthday staple.

I love trying new recipes! My favorite recipe is oatmeal scotchy cookies! Especially when they’re fresh from the oven 🙂
I love fruit pies! I’d love to learn to make an even healthier pie crust. I already use whole wheat flour and butter but I’m sure there are even better ideas.

I would love to try the lemon cake and love how many grain free recipes there are! Half of our family is gluten free and it can be difficult to find good gluten free dessert recipes.
