Strawberry Shortcake “Drop” Biscuits

Strawberry Shortcake is one of my favorite desserts, yet it is so simple to make. There are many ways to prepare “strawberry shortcake”, but I like to take the easiest route…drop biscuits. The flour is soaked before making the biscuits, so we can get all the nutrients possible out of this yummy dessert.

Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip “Mini” Pound Cakes

These little pound cakes are a great grain-free treat, perfect for Easter celebration or anytime. They are made with naturally sweet coconut flour, filled with shredded coconut, and kissed with chocolate chips. My kids especially love these little loaves…. their words exactly, “They’re yummy!” :)

Ultimate Whole-Grain Blueberry Muffins

These blueberry muffins are the ultimate in flavor and texture…it’s hard to believe they are truly made with only whole grains. The cinnamon-sugar topping adds to the deliciousness of these muffins, while it’s the soaking process that helps make the muffins so tender.

These mini-loaves of orange-glazed cranberry bread make terrific gifts during the holidays. They look so pretty and shiny from the glaze on top and they taste so wonderful that the lucky recipient won’t even realize how healthy they are ;) This recipe should make 4 to 5 mini-loaves, depending on the size of your pans and how much you fill them.

Banana-Chocolate Chip-Nut Muffins

These muffins make great little ’special’ treats for kids (or the kid in all of us:)). Use at least 60% cacao chocolate chips (70% is even better) as they have much less refined sugar. You can even omit the chips all-together and add more nuts and/or raisins, or even dried apricots are great as well. You really can change the add-ins to suit your taste.

Whole-Grain Oatmeal Raisin Muffins

These whole-grain oatmeal raisin muffins are reminiscent of an oatmeal cookie. They are deliciously soft and delicate with a touch of spice, made with whole grains, and sweetened with honey.
