I'm not sure if you've ever noted but we are pretty partial to sweet treats and baking in our house. Now that we eat clean 80 - 90 % of the time it's no reason for us not to have treats but my rules are simple - no butter, no refined sugar, no sugar replacements other than honey or pure maple syrup ( or agave at a push ), no processed white flours.
At first it was pretty daunting but now I am well into the swing of it and have worked out what will come out well and what end up in the bin. There have been plenty of fails along the way. I began with stalking blogs and today I am going to share my top 5 favourite
"NO FAIL - tastes and looks great wouldn't know they were healthy treat recipes"
with you.
The looks good thing is important - at first when I started sending some stuff to school it kind of looked umm well brown and umm healthy and the girls were not impressed.
These 5 recipes will keep all tummys well and truly happy!
1. Choc Chip Cookies by Teresa Cutter
2. No Bake Oatmeal Bites by Jessica

( Just a note on the Zoku pops - if you don't have a zoku just make them as you would in a normal iceblock mould :-)
