Healthier Holiday Baking

Send to a friend

Nothing smells more like the holidays than warm pies and fresh-baked goodies.

Unfortunately, nothing feels more like the holidays than the rolls that follow them.

Instead of putting away your oven mitts, try these healthy new ways to have your bake and eat it, too.

Fill up a pie with one of Wholly Wholesome's natural, organic and vegan pie shells or crusts. They're made without the sneaky hydrogenated fats and synthetic sweeteners in traditional versions.

Get a sweet treat with Stevita's selection of stevia-based products. They've got everything from a spoonable sugar alternative to chocolate and fruit-flavored extracts, all without calories or artificial ingredients.

Bake from a box with the help of Naturally Nora's baking mixes. They're all-natural, dairy-optional (you can add a milk alternative if you prefer), and the festive flavors won't disappoint.

Minimize the fat and calories in your holiday favorites by replacing chocolate chips and nuts with crunchy antioxidant-rich cocoa nibs. Making something fruity? Swap out seasonal candied fruits for delicious dried mulberries.
