If, like me, you have a sweet tooth, but also don’t care to ingest nutrient-depleting sugar heavy desserts, then planning healthy desserts is the best solution. Let’s pause for a moment here and analyse what we really mean by the words ‘healthy desserts.’ Are they cakes that simply replace refined flour with whole wheat; what about the other sugar, butter, and oil content?
