Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Published on by wellbymel_4 Comments

✨Healthy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies✨ Fun Fact: when I was younger oatmeal raisin were my favorite cookies, but none of the other kids ever liked them because they were “healthy” cookies. The other day, out of curiosity, I looked up oatmeal raisin recipes and realized there is nothing healthy about them! So I decided to make my own. Warning: these are addicting!

Unlike most oatmeal raisin cookie recipes that are made with white flour and refined sugar, this recipe is made with real food ingredients, gluten free, and rich in fiber.

Lite Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Added Sugar Free Pumpkin Bread

Published on by wellbymel_Leave a comment

I made my Gluten Free, Added Sugar Free Pumpkin Bread a little bit differently this week. It is a very similar recipe, but has a lite spin on it. As usual, it is made with real food ingredients And let me tell you it is GOOD! This recipe makes 1 loaf, which I typically cut into 6 slices. The best part is, it is LESS THAN 200 CALORIES PER SLICE (1 slice = 1/6 loaf). That is correct! It is less calories than those bars most people are snacking on and waayyyy more delicious. Check out this easy recipe below and please comment if you give it a try!

Sugar-Free Chocolate Almond Butter Bars

Published on by wellbymel_Leave a comment

I have a few guy friends who have found a lot of success on the keto diet and were able to lose a decent amount of weight. I’m overall neutral when it comes to the keto diet. I’m not a proponent of the keto diet, or against it. I enjoy eating fruit (as you can see by my frequent smoothie bowl posts), so I don’t think it would be a sustainable or satisfying diet for me. However, after hearing friends’ success stories on the keto diet, I am now curious.

So what does this mean?

No, this is not turning into a keto blog. I am not going keto. However, I will be introducing keto recipes to my blog! So if you are a proponent of the keto diet, or the keto diet works well for you, be on the lookout for keto recipes on my blog, starting with this keto dessert recipe.

Chocolate Chip Tahini Balls

Coming at you with another recipe to repurpose almond pulp! If you are unfamiliar, almond pulp is what is leftover part of the almond when you make your own almond milk. If you haven’t yet seen it, check out my  previous post on how to make almond milk.  Making your own almond milk is very simple, avoids the use of thickeners and preservatives found in store bought almond milk, and tastes delicious! It also reduces waste by not purchasing store bought almond milk in single-use containers.

Repurposing almond pulp reduces food waste by using all of the almond when making almond milk. When I first started making my own almond milk, I had no idea what to do with the leftover almond pulp. Now that I’ve been making almond milk for some time, I’ve found several easy, delicious, and healthy ways to repurpose nut pulp! For more idea, check out my tab of nut pulp recipes.
