Students will gain the experience of preparing a recipe from scratch using only healthy ingredients to create a heavenly-tasting treat. As we prepare our recipe together, students will learn many general baking tips as well as healthy cooking secrets. They will also learn how to substitute healthy ingredients into other favorite desserts and recipes, and why it is so important to do so! In this no-sugar-added recipe, we will use applesauce and honey as sweeteners, plain yogurt to add moisture, and lots of fresh fruit. Students will also learn about the amazing health benefits of blueberries and yogurt, in addition to the benefits of using organic, whole, and raw foods instead of standard processed ingredients. Since the purpose of this class is to learn to use healthy ingredients, it is highly recommended that you obtain the exact ingredients as listed in the "Materials" section below. If you are unable to do so, standard ingredients may be substituted, but will reduce the "healthiness" of your recipe. This recipe is best prepared by hand, using a wire whisk and a large bowl. Students will also need measuring cups and spoons, a standard muffin tin (for 12 muffins), paper baking cups (optional), and access to an oven. Students should have adult supervision unless they are familiar with the kitchen and have parents' permission to cook on their own.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Pensacola Christian College
Growing up, everyone in my family was sick, all the time. We tried dozens of methods to get healthy - conventional medicine, alternative medicine, vitamins and supplements, even a couple "miracle cures" that weren't so miraculous. After years of experimentation, we finally discovered that our diet was the culprit and that eating healthier was the solution! My mother later published a book on the subject, and I became passionate about teaching others how to cook healthier and "let your food be your medicine." The goal of my Healthy 'n' Heavenly Treats interactive cooking classes is to share healthy culinary secrets with others and dispel the myth that healthy foods and heavenly treats are mutually exclusive.
