It's safe to say dessert might just be the most important part of any meal, right? OK, so that's a bit of a stretch, but there really is nothing better than indulging in something sweet after a savory, satisfying dinner. But the thing with desserts is that they are sweets, so yes, they are often high in sugar and calories, and aren't necessarily the best for keeping on track with your weight-loss goals, especially if you order one while dining out at a restaurant. But that's where our homemade healthy dessert recipes come in.
Whip up any of these, and you'll see it's possible to still make your sweet tooth happy without having it harm your waistline. And just because these healthy dessert recipes are good for you doesn't mean we sacrificed on taste. You won't be able to tell that these cookies, brownies, pies, and cheesecakes are healthier variations of your favorite classic treats. Did we mention they're super easy to make, too?
Check out our list of homemade, healthy dessert recipes. Just a warning: you're going to want to get in the kitchen and start baking right away, so don't say we didn't warn you!

Best Fudgy Brownies
Per 1 serving: 200 calories, 12.5 g fat (6 g saturated), 16 g sugar
When you look up a recipe for a "healthy," low-calorie brownie, you'll often notice that there are butter, egg, and sugar substitutes that most of the time end up changing the flavor and consistency, so you basically end up with a sad brownie that simply doesn't leave you satisfied. So in our recipe, we still use all the classic, real brownie ingredients—just less of them. With a lower amount of butter and sugar and plenty of antioxidant-rich dark chocolate, you're going to end up with the tastiest, perfectly fudgy brownie.

Apple Pie With Crunch Topping
Per 1 serving: 360 calories, 14 g fat (5 g saturated fat), 38 g sugar
