Plant-Based Dessert Recipes for Your Health-Conscious Sweet Tooth!
Got a sweet tooth but a love/hate relationship with sugar? Me too. Luckily, we can have our sweets & eat them too!
Here you’ll find plant-based dessert recipes that are vegan (with the exception of honey) & mostly gluten-free.
Most are made with unprocessed or minimally processed sweeteners like maple syrup & raw honey, however, there’s the occasional recipe made with organic cane sugar.
And here’s the best part: these recipes all incorporate culinary & medicinal herbs for added health benefits.
For example, did you know that one of the health benefits of chamomile is that it can help to slow down the digestion of sugar & may help to prevent that oh-so-awful sugar crash?!
