Mothers’ Day Desserts!
Here are 10 healthy recipes that would be perfect for Mother’s Day:
This recipe is probably the easiest “fancy” dessert you could ever make.
On the page, you’ll find recipes for Strawberry Shortcake Pancakes, Snickerdoodle Pancakes, Red Velvet Pancakes (sans food coloring!) and even Chocolate-Chip Cookie Dough Pancakes!
If your mom likes banana bread, she’ll like these even better!
This recipe makes just two muffins: one for you, and one for your mom!
Big Fat Coconut Breakfast Cake
This cake-like bread would go perfectly with a breakfast scramble and tall glass of orange juice.
Chocolate Strawberry Truffle Pie
Do you want a show-stopping fancy dessert that looks like it took hours to make but can really be prepared in just 5 minutes? This is the one to try!
Flourless Chocolate-Chip Cookies
This is one of my mother’s personal favorite recipes, so I had to include it on here!
Your mom will never guess the secret ingredient.
This recipe is my mom’s #1 all-time favorite recipe on my entire blog!
Question of the Day:
What is the best thing about your mother?
After telling me, be sure to go tell her if you can.
Love the jelly roll! How’d I miss that one?
So so glad you’re cutting down the round up posts, I always like to just see a recipe best. I understand you enjoy writing those posts though, I just don’t like reading them and always get disappointed when I see one, so … phew…. as it happens it’s been a while since I looked at your blog because the lack of new recipes and frequent round up posts made it less appealing to me, and when I saw another round up post I was about to give it up for good, but then I saw what you wrote and that you had got feedback you were taking on board and thought that’s great – but why has she then gone and done it again… what the…?!!! Anyway… recipe… please please… that’s my feedback… I feel like since you’ve one pro I can, for your sake mind, express my views more freely, even… er… be a bit demanding…. still the best healthy dessert blog in my view and my favourite by a mile… 🙂
Sarah, you need to read this: https://lett-trim.today/2012/05/10/from-breakfast-to-dessert-10-healthy-mothers-day-recipes/#comment-353725%3C/a%3E%3Cbr /> And the three posts under it as well.
As for your claim that CCK is posting a “lack of new recipes”, well I count three new ones this week and three the week before. What do you want, one every day? Maybe if you actually paid her, she’d give you one every day! I think you need to think about how ungrateful and self-centered your comment sounds. 🙁
It should be possible to post honest feedback!? Ungrateful and self-centred is a bit harsh! Maybe I could have put the point better, all I was saying was that I agreed with what she said in her post and the feedback she said she had got. Yeah one every day would be really nice!!! but I can’t say I’m not grateful for any or all of the ones I’ve seen and often followed. It would be a perfect blog for me if every time I looked there was another recipe but on the other hand it’s perfect for others to have the round robins so a balance is great and I don’t expect the blog to be just tailored to me! I’d also value being able to be honest and free to comment without a slanging match. But yeah, sorry if my comments came out the wrong way, this really is my favourite dessert blog (healthy or otherwise :-))))
WHO forces you to read them and wears you out?! There is a delete button on every one of these modern new machines! Honesty is great but there is no need to be negative to someone so giving. Yours is a totally unnecessary comment designed to make someone very generous feel like they have been a burden to you. Good grief! Thank you Katie for the FREE recipes – I love the round-ups as they remind me of recipes I have forgotten and show me ones I haven’t seen being somewhat new.
Lets not forget who is the blogger and who is the reader here.
My mom is an adventurer! She lives abroad and travels the world every second she gets. I am so proud of her!
PS I don’t mind the recipe roundup posts – it’s nice to be reminded of older recipes that I might not have seen
Girl, it’s your blog! I think that pretty much gives you the right to post as many “recipe roundups” as you want. I, for one, enjoy them! Especially since I’m a newer reader and I haven’t had the opportunity to browse through your whole collection. 🙂
Sidenote: I made the Banana Split Pancakes this morning. One word: delicious. Thanks! 🙂
CCK, don’t EVER stop posting your round up posts! They are my absolute FAVORITE b/c I can sort through any recipes I may have missed on your wonderful blog. 🙂
All of these look incredible. My mom would love each and every one. Now, which one to choose… 🙂
Wow, these are such fun recipes..perfect for Mother’s Day! She’s honest, even when it hurts, she is the one you can count on to tell you the truth….
Hey Katie! Any ideas on how to healthify this? http://www.onsugarmountain.com/2012/05/birthday-cake-fudge.html
That looks fun! Maybe this recipe: https://lett-trim.today/2011/01/24/%E2%80%9Cgood-girl%E2%80%9D-vegan-fudge/%3C/a%3E%3Cbr /> with sprinkles blended into the mix? I’ll have to work on something. I’ll put it on my to-do list!!
Im one of those daily readers rarely commenters and i just want you to know how fantastic your recipes are and how much i appreciate your hard work. I cant even imagine criticizing something that you do for us because you truly enjoy it. With so many readers, I dont think it is even possible to please everyone, so post what makes YOU happy. This blog is special because it is so obvious it comes from your heart and you love doing it. I would hate to see that compromised !! What is the saying..the squeaky wheel gets the oil? Lol Well instead of all the complainers i think more of us need to speak up and say THANK YOU! I know i speak for a lot of us!
Now as for my mother, we butt heads a lot but i love her very much. She sure has helped me perfect my arguing skills though! Lol 😉 she loves desserts, cant wait to make her one!
Kate, thank you so much. I can’t even tell you how much your comment meant to me.
Kate, I couldn’t have said it better!
As for my mom, I wrote this poem for my mom & posted in on Facebook last year for Mother’s Day. If you share it, please just be sure to include my name and that I authored it 😉 THANKS! And Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there!
When I was a little girl
You looked upon me with a mother’s eyes
You loved me unconditionally
Laughed when I laughed and cried when I cried
You set a fine example for me
Of what a person- no, what a woman should be
Giving, honest, strong, and determined
A high standard for me to reach
And now that I’m a grown woman
And even a mother myself
As I reflect on what you have given to me
I feel that it’s time to share the wealth
You, my dear mother, are truly one of a kind
Beautiful, feisty, giving, strong and simply sublime
And every compliment that is bestowed to me
Reflects back to you, I hope that you see
Now I look upon you with a daughter’s eyes
And say “This is my mother “with such a sense of pride
I am blessed to be like you in so many ways
Your enthusiasm and generosity always amaze
I wish I could take back all of the grief I gave to you
You tried so hard to warn me about all of the things you knew
And though I fought you then, now it would be a lie
If I said you had not been right, each and every time.
I hope that in my adulthood
I have become all that you hoped for
I thank you for your guidance,
For always pointing me toward the right door
And now a lifetime of loving
Has come full circle you see
For you, my wonderful mother
Have made a good mother of me.
Karen, that’s beautiful!!
First of all, I want to say I love this blog and look forward to your posts (they’re so entertaining) and recipes (they’re also amazing) coming to my mailbox all the time! I wish I could try everything you post haha! Please keep posting…this is my favorite blog in the world! 😉
Aw thank you, Danielle!
oh! I’m going to have to try the Peach Breakfast Bake. I love peaches. In fact, my favorite breakfast is A slice of toast covered in fresh peaches. mmmm. You about can’t beat it! 🙂
And hey! check out my Healthy Chocolate Fruit Pizza Recipe! 🙂

I am a mom and let me tell ya, I would be thrilled to have any of the 10 desserts you posted!! I am with your mom though, the frozen hot chocolate looks SOOO good! I think I may just make that for myself tomorrow. Best part, I don’t have to feel guilty about it. Whoo Hoo!!!
As a brand new reader, I love the idea of roundups of previous posts! It gives you all the appropriate recipes for a certain occasion in one convenient place 😉
The best thing about my mom is how she always wants me to be my best, no matter what! Whether it’s a test in school or a softball game, she wants me to try my hardest.
I want to do something nice for my mom tomorrow. Today we went shopping, and it was a blast, but I am going to try to do something extra special. I will probably surprise her with a clay sculpture (that’s what I do to earn a little money but I also love giving them as gifts) and make one of your yummy looking recipes 🙂 I’m searching for something that’s pretty quick and also that will taste good to someone who likes normal “non-healthy” desserts. I might try one of the one-minute cakes with some of your frosting, or possibly some no-bake PB cookies! Thanks for all the great ideas!
Personally, I love the recipe round-ups! Oh, and I’m pinning the peach breakfast bake and the big fat coconut breakfast cake! Can’t wait to make these for my family for breakfast soon! Keep it up Katie! I always look forward to your healthy, beautiful posts!
I’ve never had actual frozen hot chocolate, but if it’s your mom’s favorite, I might have to give it a try!
I’m making her raw vegan lavender and lemon cheesecake 🙂 http://www.thisrawsomeveganlife.com/2012/01/lavender-cheesecake-with-lemon-honey.html#.UXVXk79XJFI
