Enjoy some tasty chocolate treats that are healthier without being bland or diet tasting. These healthier chocolate recipes are sure to be a hit!  

I love chocolate. Like seriously love chocolate. It’s an indulgence, it’s decadent, and sometimes it is just so needed. When a chocolate craving hits, you can grab a bite of dark chocolate, but sometimes you just want some tasty homemade baked goods. These healthier chocolate recipes are sure to satisfy.

Nothing is as fabulous as a freshly baked treat. The whole home smells warm, welcoming, and beyond wonderful. 

Baked treats don’t have to be bad for you. All of these reader favourite chocolate treats are made without butter or oil. Instead, these desserts are baked (almost all!) with milk, Greek yogurt, apple sauce, banana, or avocado. Yes, avocado! You won’t taste the difference. All you’ll taste is chocolate, decadently tasty chocolate. 

While I can go on forever talking about my love of chocolate, I’ll share some recipes. Some of them are romantic (wink! wink! Valentine’s Day). Others are perfect for any (or every) day of the year. It’s hard not to love these 10 Healthier Chocolate Recipes!

Peanut Butter Banana Bread

If you’ve ever enjoyed a peanut butter and banana sandwich, this is the bread for you. Instead of spreading the peanut butter over the bread and covering it with chunks of bananas, Peanut Butter Banana Bread batter is filled with these two delicious ingredients. The banana keeps the bread moist while the peanut butter adds a savoury pop of flavour. Yum! Plus, there are wonderfully melty chocolate chips bakes throughout.

Avocado Chocolate Truffles

Are you looking for a heavenly chocolate indulgence? Avocado Chocolate Truffles are as decadent as your favourite truffle. Filled with a rich and creamy middle, every truffle bursts with pure chocolate flavours. While the truffles taste like a true chocolate indulgence, these sweet treats are a much healthier alternative.

Instead of being made with cream, these truffles are made with avocados. Avocados are the perfect base for chocolate truffles. They’re naturally rich and creamy and when they’re combined with cocoa powder, they create a decadent dark chocolate flavour. [Check out the recipe for Avocado Chocolate Truffles]

The batter has the perfect combination of cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin batter, and wonderfully melty chocolate chips. I could rename these Heavenly Pumpkin Bars.
