We love fall! And our team, collectively, has a sweet tooth! We enjoy desserts all year round. The secret to sticking to a health plan is allowing yourself to enjoy foods while not overdoing it and sticking to healthier choices. By choosing better-for-you options, you can avoid craving unhealthy foods. That’s why we share so many recipes for desserts. There’s no harm in eating dessert as long as you account for the carbs and incorporate them into a healthy diet!
Today, we are sharing delightful desserts with fall flavors that are low in carbs! We talk frequently about eating seasonally because it adds more variety to your diet. That goes for seasonal desserts too! It can spice up your routine. And, as we have been saying frequently, enjoying the flavors throughout the season makes you less likely to crave the higher-carb versions you encounter at parties!
Soft or crunchy, we love gingerbread and cookies in the fall. The warming spice immediately makes us feel cozy inside. These cookies are soft and chewy. The chewiness comes from a little gelatin that helps mimic the texture of a traditional molasses cookie. The cookie still has a touch of molasses, but nowhere near the amount that would be in a regular ginger cookie. However, the swap does mean that these cookies are unsuitable for vegetarians. A serving has 157 calories, 4.2 grams of carbs, 1.9 grams of fiber and 13.6 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
There’s always the argument over whether muffins are a breakfast or a dessert. We think these sweet treats are best in the afternoon with coffee. But you can enjoy them any time you want! Cardamom is another warm spice that tastes like the holidays when combined with orange. We love the flavor profile and the walnut crumb topping that adds extra texture. A serving has 180 calories, 7.2 grams of carbs, 3.1 grams of fiber and 14.9 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
A dessert with a crispy top and a warm, gooey fruit filling is perfect for fall! This recipe is excellent for fall potlucks and celebrations. The streusel on top is sweet and crumbly with crunch from pecans. Almond flour and ground flaxseed replace the normal flour to cut out carbs but still give you a delicious, traditional flavor. This is the perfect recipe for cold nights. A serving has 206 calories, eight grams of carbs, four grams of fiber and 11 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
Apples can often be seen as a forbidden fruit when you have blood sugar concerns. They are quite high in carbs. When combined with all the other components of a dessert, it can be difficult to enjoy them without spiking your blood sugar. However, this cake uses apples, apple pie spice, a noncaloric sweetener and coconut flour to solve the problem. There are also directions on making it a mock apple dump cake using zucchini if you want to make it even lower in carbs. Either way, you’ll be delighted with the results! A serving has 162 calories, 10 grams of carbs, five grams of fiber and 11 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
We hope you make one of these recipes soon and bring the fall flavors into your home. We know that they won’t disappoint!
