Dessert!

I know I'm not much for providing dessert recipes. I figure there are many sources for that. But lately, we've been experimenting with a few "healthier" ideas that I thought I'd share with you.

The first is from Elizabeth at Sienna Wellness and is an approximation of a crumble. Elizabeth calls it Raw Peach Blackberry Cobbler. It was perfect both for dessert and for breakfast the next morning with yogurt. To me, it approximates the feel of a cobbler without all the butter and sugar (just a little maple syrup sweetener). To you, it might be a bowl of fruit with a little topping, but either way, it works! Right now, when peaches are drippy fresh and exploding, this is amazing. In fall, I could see doing this with apples and cranberries or persimmons.

Yesterday, Maddy tried out the Sweet Potato Brownies from Deliciously Ella. These are also gluten free and vegan but, I have to admit, less appealing for me than for her. She loves chocolate and a healthier approximation of a brownie is more interesting to her. She, on the other hand, disdains potato chips, so, to each her own.

I found these good, but tasting more of date and sweet potato than brownie. I think I'd add in some dark chocolate chips so that there is more chocolate flavor. The texture is nice and gooey, fudgy, so that parts works really well.
