Strawberry Apricot Tarte (GF)
Are you looking for an easy and healthy sweet treat? You can throw this strawberry and apricot tarte together in no time. Modified from one of my favorite cookbooks, French Provincial Cuisine by Christian Delu (1981), this quick, easy, and light tarte will satisfy your craving for sweet summer fruit.
Berry Crumble Pie
Here is my easy gluten-free, low-sugar berry crumble pie. In this simplified version, I use a frozen gluten-free pie crust and frozen berries. If you have more time, you can incorporate a homemade crust using gluten-free or nut-based flour. Fresh berries are a welcome substitution when available.
Oatmeal Banana Cookies
This delicious oatmeal cookie contains less sugar than your typical treat because it’s mostly sweetened with banana.
Healthy Mocha Muffins
These black bean muffins are grain, gluten, dairy, and processed-sugar free! See the variations below to substitute aquafaba for eggs to make them vegan. When leaving these treats for my son’s preschool class several years ago, I was told that all the kids loved them. One boy even asked me for the recipe after class. They’re preschool approved!
Chocolate eclairs
An early holiday memory involves the aroma of milk heating as I stand on a chair to stir pudding for the Chocolate Eclair filling. After my son was diagnosed with multiple food allergies, I modified our traditional family dessert.
