Below, we share a list of recipes with healthier ingredients you might like to try. | | | | To life,

| |  | | | Tips for making more nutrient-rich desserts | | There's little harm in eating the occasional sugary dessert. But if you like to treat yourself more often, it may be a good idea to increase the nutritional value by swapping out an ingredient or two for healthier alternatives. Some changes may also help people with chronic conditions or dietary restrictions manage blood sugar levels, allergic reactions, or symptom flares. | Substituting ingredients doesn't mean sacrificing flavor, either! Here are seven simple swaps you can make to bake more nutritious desserts: - Swap milk chocolate for 70% or higher dark chocolate to reduce added sugar and boost antioxidant levels.
- Use fruits, like dates or bananas, in place of refined sugar to benefit from their fiber and nutrients.
- Try plain Greek yogurt instead of butter to add protein and a creamier texture.
- Substitute white all-purpose flour for other flours, such as whole wheat or gluten-free blends, to increase fiber.
- Skip flour entirely and use beans for extra potassium.
- Whip coconut cream instead of heavy cream for vegan or dairy-free fillings and toppings.
- Add unsweetened applesauce instead of oil, egg, or sugar.
