I had misplaced this recipe for about 2 years and wanted to make them for the last couple of months. I was determined to find it today and did! Hurray! It had fallen out of my top kitchen drawer down below all of the other drawers. Here’s my recipe. These gluten-free carrot muffins are unique because they contain some Italian chestnut flour, which really makes the muffin. They are heavy like brownies which make them very satisfying. I hope you enjoy them!

After watching this video recipe on Raspberry Ganache Fudge Cake I have been wanting to try it. Unfortunately, I had no avocado for the frosting, nor raspberries for the filling. Darn! I tried a different spin on things and made a small portion of what I really would like to call “guilt-free” fudge brownies. These make a great dessert as well as snack. It is vegan, gluten-free, dairy free dessert and low sodium dessert!

If you enjoy ambrosia, but are searching for a healthier alternative check out this recipe. This recipe contains Greek yogurt, which contains live cultures; and other ingredients that are known to aid in digestion; and are natural.
Greek Yogurt Ambrosia
Cinnamon’s health benefits are multiple, and aiding digestion is one of them.
FAGE Greek yogurt (non-fat version) does not contain any fat, but has live cultures. A live culture means that it has friendly bacteria which is good for you. Live yogurt is helpful for the gastrointestinal system. However, FAGE’s non-fat yogurt does contain 3 grams of sugar (none added) and 20 grams of protein. See FAGE Greek yogurt nutritional facts. Also see what FAGE has to say about how they make their products here.
Stevia is a great natural sweetener substitute. My favorite brand of stevia is Stevita which comes in powdered or liquid.

My husband is an onion ring lover. I have been working on a healthier, lower fat version compared to the deep fried rings. I explain the various ingredients that you can use for low-fat; milk-free, gluten-free, or high fiber diets. I came up with a very crispy onion ring!
