Happy Veganuary everyone! I hope your year is going well so far.
For the last few years, I’ve always used January as a month to cut down on my sugar intake. A fresh start, if you will. I wouldn’t ever want to cut out dessert completely because I have a HUGE sweet tooth but there are definitely healthier options to the sugar and flour-laden treats I usually make.
If you’re like me and trying to eat a bit less sugar, this round-up post will help you out. I’ve teamed up with some fellow food bloggers to bring you 40 of the best healthy vegan desserts out there. It has something for everyone, including low-fat Veganuary desserts, quick and easy healthy desserts, keto desserts, gluten-free desserts and paleo treats. There are also some raw desserts, nut-free desserts and desserts that are free from all allergens. No one gets left behind!
I hope you enjoy the post. If you make any of these healthy dairy-free desserts, do let me know how you get on by leaving a comment at the bottom of the page. Happy baking! xo
