Baking

I don’t bake all that often, so when I do, it’s got to be worth it.

I try to focus on nourishing recipes made with fresh ingredients and whole grains that I can feel good about indulging in – and this collection of healthy baking recipes delivers.

Here, you can find everything from cookies, cakes, and cupcakes to hearty quick breads like oat bran banana bread and savory carrot muffins. You’ll even find a few satisfying pancake and waffle options for breakfast alongside baked fruit desserts like pear-cranberry crisp and baked ricotta-stuffed apples.

Whether you’re craving something comforting and sweet or just a little special homemade treat, these recipes make every baking session count.

So preheat the oven, grab your favorite mixing bowl, and get ready to have your cake and eat it, too! 😉
