Healthy Mother's Day Desserts

Mother's Day is coming up and sweets tend to be a popular thing to give our mom's to show them how much we love and appreciate them. I have scoured the web trying to find some delicious but healthier alternatives to make for mom. She is guaranteed to love them!

Chocolate Covered Strawberries: If you dip them in dark chocolate you have an antioxidant packed treat!

Baked Donuts: They are all the rage on the Internet. You can buy a donut pan online for $10 or less but if you don't want to splurge on a pan you can bake them into muffins. I recently bought a pan and love the results! They taste just as delicious as their deep fried counterparts but are baked in the oven so you don't have to feel  guilty about indulging a little on them.

Grapefruit Brulee: All you need is a grapefruit cut in half, sprinkled with a little raw sugar and then throw it under the broiler until it is golden and delicious smelling.  Keep an eye on it though so it doesn't burn!

Parfaits: Instead of cake and pudding in your parfaits try layering healthy yogurt and fruit and some homemade granola or nuts for a tasty treat.  This also makes a delicious and healthy breakfast.
