healthy fruit desserts for one

as i have said before, i have quite the sweet tooth. put a dessert in front of me and i will 9 times out of 10 eat it. most of the time when i make dessert, i try to make it as healthy as possible. still, there are some recipes that just can't be made healthier (aka no bake cookies - we tried and failed). lately though i have taken quite the liking to fruity desserts. the ones i have made so far are single serving and made quickly in the microwave! perfect for conquering that sweet tooth craving without ruining your diet!

warmed pear

1 pear, sliced

honey

cinnamon

1 tbsp dark chocolate chips

1. place sliced pear in a microwave safe, shallow bowl. drizzle honey and sprinkle cinnamon to taste. add chocolate chips on the side to dip pear in or sprinkle over top as well. 
2. microwave until soft, about 30-45 seconds.

warmed banana

1 banana, cut lengthwise in half

1 tbsp Better N Peanut Butter

1 tbsp dark chocolate chips

cinnamon

1. place banana in microwave safe, shallow bowl. spread peanut butter evenly over banana. sprinkle chocolate chips and cinnamon on top.
2. microwave until banana has softened and peanut butter and chocolate chips are melted, about one minute.

warmed apple

1 apple, sliced

cinnamon 

honey 

peanut butter

butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, etc.

walnuts, granola

1. place sliced apple in a microwave safe, shallow bowl. top with selected toppings from above (any combination is delicious).
2. microwave until apple has softened and toppings of choice have melted. 

these are all especially good topped with a spoonful of whipped cream, greek yogurt or ice cream! they really do satisfy that sweets craving and are healthy too! indulge guilt-free!
