Wholesome Food Dessert Recipes the Kids will Appreciate
Can you be responsible with the way you enjoy your dessert? Does wholesome whole-grain goodness have a place on the foodie’s menu at all? Let’s look at two recipes – one, a sinfully chocolatey but still responsible, whole-grained cookie, and one, that’s just toss-your-shoes-out-and-skip-in-your-bare-feet friendly. So let’s skip the main course and get with the wholesome food dessert recipes we’re really after.
Our first recipe is for chocolate chip cookies that will yield you a harvest of about 15 pieces. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Get a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in readiness for what is to follow. Take out a bowl, put in three-quarters of a cup of whole wheat flour, a little more than a quarter cup of cocoa powder (with no sugar added), a half-teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Mix it all up; and in a separate bowl, throw in a half cup of unsalted butter that’s been left out to thaw long enough, and add a half cup of sugar. Use a wooden spoon to knead it altogether until everything is light and fluffy before you add in half a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
It’s time to bring it all together now. Sift the flour mixture onto the butter as you keep stirring. It’ll really be firm at this point now as all cookie dough is; add in a quarter cup of oats and a handful of chocolate chips. It’ll be so stiff at this point that you can’t use anything but your knuckles now. Knead thoroughly. Now that you’re ready to bake, roll out balls of the dough and set on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball until each looks like a cookie, and bake for about 15 minutes. Once they have cooled, you should have a real job on your hands keeping the kids off. But wait a minute, you don’t need to keep the kids off!
Up next is a great little number that your kids should go crazy for. It does take all night to get ready, but your kids will have something to look forward to in the morning. It’s a Mexican-food dessert recipe called Horchata Raspados Shaved Ice – and we are flavoring it with strawberry this time. Get your oven preheated to 350 degrees. Bring out 2 cups of almonds, chop them up and lay out half of them on a cookie sheet to toast in the oven until golden brown. The remaining almonds, you’ll need to mix with three-quarters of a cup of long grain rice, a piece of Canela, the Mexican variety of cinnamon, and 3 cups of warm water. Let it soak in there overnight in the refrigerator.

In the morning, throw the whole thing in the blender to puree with a can of condensed milk, a can of evaporated milk and a pinch of salt. There is bound to be lots of coarse particles in the mixture now, so straining everything with a colander should be a good idea. Mash up a pint of strawberries and put some down as a bedding for your horchata in a tall glass. Top it up with a handful of shaved ice (you can make some in the blender), and top it up with the gooey rice and almond mixture you just made. Sprinkle a little cinnamon and the toasted almond on top, and you should have a nutritious and fun snack your kids will get into fights to get more of.
