hey everyone and welcome back it to my channel welcome if you're new my name is
Liv and I make lots of healthy recipe and lifestyle videos on this channel so
make sure to subscribe if you haven't today we are making some single serve
healthy desserts because sometimes you just want to make one of something or
you could even just make two of something as well and these are all
super delicious we're making a chocolate chunk or chocolate chip cookie a fruit
crisp along with a chocolate cake so you pretty much have one of all the classic
desserts and not gonna lie the chocolate chip cookie might be my favorite
chocolate chip cookie recipe I've ever made in like the history of me making
recipes which is pretty amazing so let's just go ahead and get right into it so
the first thing we're making is this chocolate chip or Chocolate Chunk cookie
I'm starting off with some coconut oil a little bit of coconut sugar you can also
use monk fruit here and a mini flax egg which is just 1 TSP of flex with 1 TSP
of water then I'm adding in a half a teaspoon of blackstrap molasses it's
important to get blackstrap because that's the one that has all the benefits
in it so you don't want to get this the regular one make sure it's as black step
on it then you're gonna stir it together all of our wet ingredients until it's
nice and combined this just helps to make sure that the cookie gets an even
color and even distribution then I'm going to be adding in 3 tablespoons of
almond flour almond flour is loaded with healthy fats vitamin E fibers minerals
and it's gonna help satisfy you because it's high in healthy fats
I wouldn't substitute this out for another flower this one's kind of key in
here a coconut flour just doesn't have enough volume in order to create this
cookie so go ahead and stir that together until it's all combined then
add in eighth of a teaspoon of baking soda and what this is going to do is
this is gonna help the cookie basically turn into a cookie otherwise it's gonna
be very dense this one helps to make it nice and fluffy I'm adding in a
tablespoon of sugar free chocolate chunks this one doesn't have any
bizarre sweeteners so I would really look for one too just keeping your
pantry that you can throw in to your desserts that has good ingredients it's
also dairy-free and all of these things are really important when making healthy
desserts and placing that on my baking sheet and I put a couple of the
chocolate chunks on the top just to make it more aesthetically pleasing and you
get this warm gooey cookie I cook it in the oven at 350 for about 12 minutes or
until it's golden and you have this wonderful single could serve a cookie
that not only tastes delicious but it has 18 grams of fiber next up we are
making a fruit crisp so I'm gonna start by chopping up some strawberries
strawberries are one of the top things on the Dirty Dozen so it's very
important to buy these organic if you can't buy them fresh you can also buy
frozen organic strawberries and they are more cost effective with this dessert as
well you can definitely change up to fruit to whatever is in season so you
could do blueberries you could do peach any of those things so go ahead and chop
that up into small chunks so that we can put that into the crisp if you want even
smaller you can do it in two cubes as well but I like just doing sliced
strawberries add that to a bowl and then we're adding in some tapioca flour which
is kind of my secret along with the vanilla to making really good tasting
fruit so the vanilla makes the fruit taste super delicious because it has
like a vanilla fruit flavor to it but the tapioca helps to absorb any of the
excess liquid that comes out when you bake fruit so you get this wonderfully
like jammy fruit for the topping I'm using some almond flour as well as
walnuts which are a great brain food a little bit of coconut sugar and some
coconut oil just to bind them all together walnuts are super great for you
they're high in omegas but you can definitely switch up the walnuts for a
pecan or almonds or any kind of nut that you like but I really like the added
crunch so I would highly suggest picking your favorite nut and adding that one in
so go ahead and put your berries into a ramekin that's oven safe and then put
your topping on the top and you're just going to bake this until it bubbles and
I leave all the directions in the description but this is such an easy
dessert because you can change up the fruit to whatever is in season it's
delicious and so much natural sweetness to it and
lastly we're making a chocolate cake which is a nice classic recipe to have
on hand I made a flax egg with three tablespoons
of ground flax and one tablespoon of water I'm adding in some coconut oil as
well as some coconut sugar and what you're gonna love about all these
recipes is that not only are they paleo but they're planned face in they're
vegan so literally everybody can enjoy them and they're delicious too so I'm
adding in some cacao and some almond flour as well as a pinch of Himalayan
salt which really helps to bring out the chocolate flavor a little bit of baking
soda which is gonna help it rise and get that nice cakey texture and be nice and
moist stir that together until everything is combined and then add it
to your oven safe ramekin I sprayed mine with a little bit of coconut oil just to
make sure that it doesn't stick place that in there and then once you bake it
off you can drizzle it with a little bit of almond butter you can eat it as is
or put a little bit of coconut whip either way it's a super delicious recipe
it's so dense and fudgy and chocolaty plus it's full of great things for you
