This white chocolate & dried cranberry oatmeal combination is another one of my homemade energy bar favorites and as with the other flavors, you won’t even notice that the healthy snack bars are full of wholesome goodness {whole wheat, wheat germ, oatmeal, flax seed and Greek yogurt!}.

Maybe it’s the thought of Easter bunnies munching on carrots but carrot cake makes me think of spring and Easter. In reality, the warm, spicy flavors of ginger and cinnamon make this an equally satisfying treat during the fall and winter or any other time of year.

I have always wanted to make a pumpkin bread {or pumpkin muffins, in this case} and be able to call it healthy. I have always wanted to be able to say: it’s a serving of fruit/veggies, right?! and not have it be a joke. I have finally achieved this with these nutrient-loaded pumpkin muffins that provide a serving of pumpkin and satisfy your sweet tooth at the same time.

Bagels, specifically pumpkin bagels, have been on my baking list for a long time now. I decided that it was finally time to tackle bagels this fall in part because I was having some serious cravings for pumpkin bagels with the arrival of autumn and in part because my son is at a stage where he loves kneading and making things with dough.

Though chocolate and avocado seem an unlikely pair, they share some rich, comforting qualities and make a surprisingly good match in this chocolate avocado cake.

Turn one of your pizza dough balls into breadsticks. The sourdough starter imparts a subtle tang to the breadsticks and gives them a light texture and a depth in flavor. Serve them with warmed pizza sauce for dipping.

I wanted to be able to enjoy the zucchinis that are in season {and get my son to eat the healthy green veggie} without also consuming an abundance of butter or oil. So I made zucchini bread with low-fat yogurt instead of oil. Between the grated zucchini and the yogurt the bread was incredibly moist and my family didn’t miss the oil at all.

Substituting low-fat yogurt for the shortening in my family’s classic banana bread recipe makes for a healthier banana bread that is still moist and flavorful.
