Naturally sweetened treats

I classify naturally sweetened treats as treats sweetened with just whole fruit. This is in line with my current way of eating: I emphasize vegan whole foods. Eating mostly whole foods makes me feel good, that’s why I love this way of eating. And how I feel daily encourages me to continue. I’m loving my new relationship with food: it’s a healthy one.

I’m not 100% whole foods eater though, I would say I’m about 70 % and that’s good enough. I have a very bad experience with extreme diets, which you can read more about here if you wish. I’ve found a great balance now and this balanced diet includes mostly naturally sweetened treats and other treats too.

My favorite natural sweeteners are bananas and dates and they both work well in no bake treats and baked treats like this gluten-free vegan banana-sweetened berry galette.

Gluten-free vegan banana sweetened berry galette Bananas as sweetener

Don’t be afraid to try bananas as the only sweetener in your baked goods! The sweetest bananas are the spotty ripe ones (before they turn brown and totally mushy). These are the same bananas you would peel and freeze to use for a nice cream or smoothie.

I baked a banana-sweetened cake earlier this summer, and have been baking banana-sweetened cookies too (recipe coming soon).

The sweetness of this rustic galette is also due to amazingly flavorful summer fruits: strawberries and cherries. They become jammy, soft and sweeter when roasted in the oven.

Dates as sweetener

I also love to sweeten treats with dates. Dates make the best caramel (check out this tahini caramel โ™ฅ) and bananas + dates make a great sweetener together too, like in these kombucha muffins. You can adjust the sweetness level by changing the banana / date ratio.

Adjusting the level of sweetness

If you’re very used to sugary treats, then this galette is perhaps not sweet enough. My suggestion is to add a drizzle of syrup on top of the galette, just like you would on top of pancakes.

So basically this really is a breakfast galette ๐Ÿ™‚ Can’t think of a better breakfast!

Lots of love from the forest โ™ฅ

ps My next recipe is basically the opposite of this: a delicious sugary sweet treat with lots of fluffy cream..stay tuned ๐Ÿ˜‰
