  I would say cakes with fruits or vegetables incorporated in them, so carrots, courgettes, beetroots or bananas for example.

  Butter!

• t.t  on  May 26, 2016

  I'm a great fan of adding fruits or vegetables (e.g. zucchini bread, banana bread, etc.).

  Coconut flour

• nellybligh  on  May 26, 2016

  I love using coconut sugar – a lovely caramel flavour & so much better for your blood sugar levels.

• JanScholl  on  May 27, 2016

  I try to use only organics and get as close to vegan as I can. I make a mean black bean brownie with no sugar, no flour and fresh Michigan walnuts.

  I always use organic cane sugar which tastes so much better than conventional and is healthier ( a little at least!) for you.

  I've recently been on a gluten free/few grains diet and I have enjoyed using alternative flours like coconut flour, almond meal and polenta in baking.

• lauriesk  on  May 27, 2016

  I incorporate olive oil into a lot of my baked goods.

• sgump  on  May 27, 2016

  I love to replace as much fat (butter or oil) as I can in baked goods with applesauce (or pureed carrots, or pureed prunes).

  Well, healthy is a relative term. Butter is better than some other fats, but I also use olive oil in some baked goods. Buttermilk, whole grains/whole grain flours, nuts …

  coconut oil, because it makes everything better!

  I love using lemons and oranges, they add such a wonderful flavour to cakes. My favourite cake is orange and almond cake, .. it uses pulped, whole oranges and almond flour instead of wheat flour.

• SLane  on  June 18, 2016
