Abs are really great… but what if you could have abs and dessert? All my life I’ve struggled with having a balanced diet. I tried calorie deficit, intermittent fasting, and crazy diet plans. What I found that works best for me is to not limit yourself to the yummy foods you crave most. Let yourself have that brownie! Throughout the years, I have noticed that some unhealthy ingredients can be replaced with healthier options so I have compiled four recipes that will give you abs while also giving you dessert!

  1.  Pumpkin Muffins   
    1 cup oat flour
    1/2 cup almond flour
    1/2 cup almond milk
    3/4 pumpkin
    2 eggs
    1 cup rolled oats
    1/4 cup syrup (used lakanto)
    1 tbsp baking powder
    Pumpkin pie spice
    Splash of vanilla
    Chopped walnuts
    Bake for 20 min at 350!
  2. Cookie Dough Freezer Fudge
    1 cup Peanut Butter
    1/2 cup Cashew Butter (you can also sub for more PB)
    1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
    1/4 cup melted coconut oil
    1/4 cup chocolate chips
    1 tsp pure vanilla extract
    Optional: 1-2 scoops of vanilla collagen or protein powder
    1 tsp sea salt (for topping).
  3. S’mores Bars
    2 cups almond flour
    1/3 cup coconut flour
    1 tsp baking powder
    2 tbsp olive oil
    1/3 cup creamy almond butter
