Date-sweetened oatmeal brownies with cocoa swirl bring a deep chocolate flavor with a soft, almost fudgy bite that feels familiar and comforting. The sweetness comes entirely from dates. The oat base adds structure and makes these feel more substantial than a typical brownie. They’re a great option when you want high-fiber brownies that still feel like a proper dessert.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup packed pitted Medjool dates (about 10 to 12 dates)
  • ½ cup hot water
  • 1½ cups rolled oats
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • ¼ cup neutral oil (avocado oil or light olive oil)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Cocoa Swirl
    • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 1½ tablespoons hot water

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides.
  2. Place the dates in a heatproof bowl and pour the hot water over them. Let soak for 10 minutes until very soft. Transfer the dates and soaking liquid to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and glossy, with no visible date pieces.
  3. Add the rolled oats and pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse flour. Stop before it turns powdery. Add the cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract. Blend just until smooth and evenly combined. The batter should be thick but pourable.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the cocoa powder and hot water for the swirl until smooth and thick.
  5. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Spoon the cocoa swirl mixture over the surface in small dollops. Use a skewer or toothpick to gently swirl the cocoa into the batter.
  6. Bake for 25-27 minutes, until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter. Cool completely in the pan before lifting out and slicing into squares.

There’s something classic and inviting about strawberry chia jam thumbprint cookies, especially with the jam set neatly into the center of each cookie. The chia thickens the strawberry filling just enough to keep it from spilling while still tasting bright and fresh. The cookie itself stays tender rather than crisp, which balances the fruit nicely.

  3. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated. Add the flour and salt and mix just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  4. Scoop the dough into 1 tablespoon portions and roll into smooth balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

  2. In a medium bowl, toss the diced apples with granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, salt, and cornstarch until evenly coated. Divide the apple mixture evenly among the jars, pressing lightly so the apples sit compactly but are not packed tightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir together the rolled oats, flour, inulin powder, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour the melted butter over the oat mixture and stir until the mixture is crumbly and evenly moistened.
  4. Spoon the oat topping evenly over the apples in each jar, gently pressing just enough so it sits level without compacting.
  5. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, until the apples are tender, bubbling slightly at the edges, and the topping is lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. The filling will thicken as it cools.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place four small oven-safe ramekins on a baking sheet.

  3. In a separate bowl, stir together the rolled oats, flour, resistant starch, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and sliced almonds. Pour the melted butter over the oat mixture and stir until evenly moistened and crumbly.
  4. Spoon the crumble topping evenly over the pears, lightly leveling the surface without pressing it down.
  5. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the pear filling is bubbling gently around the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. The filling will thicken as it rests.

Strawberry Ricotta Cups With Citrus Fiber

Layered strawberry ricotta cups in clear glasses with creamy ricotta filling, fresh strawberry slices pressed against the glass, and a light citrus zest topping on a marble surface.

Light and creamy, strawberry ricotta cups with citrus fiber have clean flavors and neat layers. The ricotta mixture stays smooth while the strawberries add brightness throughout. A fine citrus finish ties everything together without overpowering the fruit. These cups fit naturally among healthy sweet treats that still feel dessert-forward.

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups whole milk ricotta cheese
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup heavy cream, cold
  • 1 teaspoon citrus fiber powder (orange fiber or citrus fiber)
  • 1½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
  • ½ teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  • ¼ teaspoon finely grated orange zest

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk the ricotta cheese until smooth and creamy. This step is important to remove any graininess. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and citrus fiber to the ricotta and mix until fully combined and smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream to soft peaks using a hand mixer. The cream should hold its shape but still look soft. Gently fold the whipped cream into the ricotta mixture in two additions, using a spatula and light strokes to keep the mixture airy.
  3. To assemble, place a spoonful of ricotta cream into the bottom of each serving glass. Add a layer of strawberries.
  4. Spoon more ricotta cream over the strawberries and smooth the top. Repeat the layers once more. Finish by lightly sprinkling lemon and orange zest over each cup.
  5. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld.

Ingredients

  • 1¾ cups full-fat canned coconut milk, well shaken
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons powdered gelatin
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon citrus fiber
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon or orange zest
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the cold water. Let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes until fully hydrated and spongy.
  2. Add the coconut milk, sugar, salt, citrus fiber, and citrus zest to a saucepan. Heat over medium-low, stirring frequently, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling. Do not let it simmer or bubble.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the bloomed gelatin and whisk gently until completely dissolved. The mixture should be smooth with no visible gelatin granules. Stir in the vanilla extract. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring jug to remove excess zest and ensure a silky texture.
  4. Pour the mixture evenly into 4 small glasses or ramekins. Let cool at room temperature for 15 minutes, then refrigerate uncovered for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
  5. Just before serving, top with a light sprinkle of freshly grated citrus zest.

Ingredients

  • 3 large ripe bananas
  • 6 wooden popsicle sticks
  • ¾ cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon acacia fiber powder

Instructions

  1. Peel the bananas and cut each one in half crosswise. Insert a wooden popsicle stick into the cut end of each banana half. Place on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for at least 2 hours, until completely firm.
  2. Add the dark chocolate and coconut oil to a heat-safe bowl. Melt gently in the microwave in 20-second intervals, or over a double boiler, stirring until smooth. Stir in the acacia fiber powder until fully dissolved, and the chocolate looks glossy and uniform.
  3. Working one at a time, dip the frozen banana halves into the melted chocolate, coating the banana end opposite the stick. Let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
  4. Place the dipped banana pops back onto the parchment-lined tray. The chocolate will begin to set quickly. Return the tray to the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chocolate shell is fully hardened.
  5. Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and keep frozen until ready to eat.
