What are healthier alternatives to flour?

Regular flour is often processed, which means that it can be bad for your digestive system. Instead, use wheat, oats or brown rice as healthier substitutes. When you use flour substitutes, you may notice a bitter taste so we can add natural sweeteners.

What are good natural sweeteners?

Instead of using processed sugars or corn syrup, use healthier and more natural ingredients like honey, maple syrup or agave nectar, which is made from the blue agave plant. This way, our baked goods are just as sweet as their original versions but much better for us.

What are other good alternative sweeteners?

Besides natural sweeteners like honey, you can also use fruits such as strawberries, apples and bananas to make healthy and delicious desserts. Simply mash the fruit into a smooth puree and add to your base.

Why should we add vegetables to our desserts?

Chefs like to bake desserts with vegetables such as sweet potatoes, beets and zucchini because they enhance the flavor and improve the texture of the baked items. To incorporate vegetables into desserts, shred them into tiny pieces and add them to the base. The end result is more delicious and healthier as well.
