Can’t put down that post-dinner chocolate, cake or ice cream? If you need your daily dose of sweetness, there are plenty of healthy, plant-based dessert swaps you can make for a guilt-free treat! 

I’m a pancake lover through and through, but I love getting creative with plant-based powerhouse ingredients like Medjool dates, cacao powder, oats, and peanut butter.

Try these mouthwatering plant-based dessert recipes for an easy and guilt-free treat at any time of the day! 

Date-Night Rice Cakes

• peanut butter powder (the one I use here) OR regular peanut butter
• cacao nibs
• pitted Medjool dates
• rice cakes

Then simply load up those rice cakes!

Cacao Chip Balls

• 1 cup cacao or carob powder
• 1 tsp vanilla flavoring
• 1/2 cup peanut butter powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 cups oats
• 5-6 pitted Medjool dates
• 1/3 cup coconut nectar

Pulse until well blended (if mixture needs moisture add more nectar), and then add 1/2 cup cacao nibs and 1/2 cup crushed hazelnuts.

Continue pulsing until all is mixed in. Place mixture into a container with parchment paper. Let mixture stand in the fridge for 30 minutes, then form/roll into 1 inch balls. Coat in shredded coconut flakes (and/or more hazelnut pieces) and place balls back into container and chill in fridge for another hour before serving.

Peanut Butter Vanilla Oat Cream

• 1 frozen banana
• 1 scoop peanut powder
• 1 pinch sea salt
• ½ cup oats
• 1 cup ice
• 1 tsp vanilla (opt)
• 1 tsp maple syrup
• ½ cup non-dairy milk

Blend until creamy!

Top with coconut, cacao nibs, fresh berries….whatever you want!
