- If you're tired of scouring the internet
for clean treats and healthy desserts,
the cookbook that you've been waiting for is here.
That's right, I am so excited to add my fifth book
to my incredible collection
of already family friendly cookbooks,
the Clean Treats cookbook.
Unlike the others,
this book is solely dedicated desserts and snacks
and is not just for kids.
It's for everyone.
It is not a low carb, low fat,
keto or any fad diet cookbook.
Although, nearly all those recipes fit
many of those descriptions.
It's simply a really good desserts cookbook
made with no refined ingredients.
So if you're tired of converting recipes
from across the internet to suit your clean eating
and gluten-free dietary needs, this book is for you.
Let me show you what's inside the Clean Treats cookbook.
I divided the cookbook in three main sections,
oven-fresh treats, no-bake treats,
warm drinks and smoothies, shakes and frozen treats
essentially from the oven, no oven and everything else.
If you think dessert
and immediately look for baking recipes,
recipes like the blueberry oat bread,
the pumpkin spice coffee cake,
a double chocolate banana bread, hold up.
Let's take a look at that banana bread up close.
Wow.
The brownies, a lemon loaf that's as good
if not better than the coffee house one.
Also, all the recipes in the cookbook
are gluten-free but in addition,
I've marked which ones are also dairy free,
egg free, vegan and nut free
and because I want everyone to grab a copy
of the Clean Treats cookbook
and not be limited by food allergies and intolerances,
I have an entire section dedicated to modifications,
substitutions and tips on how to make those swaps
and enjoy an epic, healthy treat.
Most importantly, all the recipes have been tested
with the dietary modifications
leaving little to the imagination
or wondering if it will actually turn out.
You'll also find lemon bars, carrot cake bars,
raspberry crumble bars and pies in the baked section.
For many of us, baking means cookies and the like.
So from soft baked ginger snaps to snickerdoodles,
chocolate cookies and scones, that section is incredible.
The hardest part
will be waiting for the treats to cool down.
There's a section called Bite-Sized and Delish
that is filled with snack bites, truffles, no-bake cookies
and almond butter or peanut butter cups
that 100% compete with my favorite Halloween treat.
Now, the no-bake bar section is epic
from easy granola bars you can whip up quickly,
salted peanut butter treats
and magic bars with a gooey caramel top
and yes, I also give you my secret recipe
to the homemade caramel
creamy and delicious strawberry shortcake bars
that taste like summer
even if it's in the middle of December
and you just want to use up those frozen strawberries
from the summer
to a bar that is so epic I didn't know what to call it
until the last night before I had to turn in the book,
moon bars.
Check them out.
A crispy nutty base, a cream like middle
and a sweet and salty top layer
that simply melts in your mouth
and has had me many nights at 3:00 AM
sneaking to the freezer for just one more bite.
I shall leave no celebrations hanging
with the no-bake Pies and Cheesecakes section.
It is really hard to believe
but every single recipe is gluten-free,
dairy free and egg free
and they taste like a million bucks
from banana cream pie
that will leave you licking the spatula
as you spread the cream topping,
a chocolate cheesecake so epic
I kept eating the frozen slices one bite at a time
to a blueberry cheesecake
that will impress even the strongest critics
to a pumpkin cheesecake
that will surely be enjoyed year-round
to a peanut butter cup cheesecake that is out of this world.
I know, I know these might all sound a tad indulgent
but like Amy from the Health Beet said,
"Laura proves that you can stick to your health goals
without feeling deprived"
and friends, the last thing I want for you
is to feel deprived when it comes to desserts.
For days where you just want something sweet
and the drive-through of your favorite coffee house
is calling your name,
the caramel macchiato and the pumpkin spice latte
is just what you want.
I've left no area of healthier baking
and figuring out what to make as a healthy dessert
with clean ingredients with this cookbook.
Make sure to grab a copy with the link below
so you can make some of the recipes
that I'm gonna be sharing in future videos.
Let's do this.
