Gingerbread Spice Cake

Image and Recipe from HERE

What we love: "Gingerbread is one of our favorite holiday flavors and we've never even ventured to make anything gingerbread-y! Pathetic? Yes, we agree! This recipe is super easy to follow and we also love Jessica's idea of handing out the yummy loaves as gifts!"

Black Forest Vegan Chocolate Cake with Hot Chocolate Sauce

Image from HERE / Recipe HERE

What we love: "You don't need eggs to make a scrumptious and delish fluffy black forest cake. If we don't get to try our hand at this recipe during the holiday season, we'll surely surprise the Hubster with this one night...even though he's the master of layered cake making (HERE)."

Pear-Raspberry Jelly Roll Shortcakes

What we love: "The recipe doesn't seem all too demanding for such a visually appealing and gorgeous desserts. Raspberries are one of hubby's fave fruits and again, we're suckers for anything sprinkled with powder sugar! One thing we'd definitely have to buy: a jelly roll pan!"

Banana-cake-recipe

Moist Banana Cake 

Image and Recipe from HERE 

What we love: "First of all, this nutty, banana and chocolatey goodness combines three of our favorite food groups (ha!) Also, we think this would be great for a sweet breakfast option on Christmas morning!"

Vegan twix bars

What we love: "Umm, besides the fact that we're wiping the drool off of our Mac, these stunners look every bit decadent and delish. Yep, mouth...is...watering! Also, when you check out the recipe make sure to scan down to the bottom of the post for a Chocolate Pudding recipe too, mmm!" 

Mint-chocolate-oatmeal-cookies-5c

Mint UFO Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Image and Recipe from HERE

What we love: "Mint and chocolate as a combo is always a hit at CasaCullen. These cookies are crunchy (just the way hubby likes them) and include three great and healthy ingredients that we already eat on a weekly basis; oatmeal, flax seed and nuts!"

Ok, we officially can't look at this post any longer. Why? Because our sweet tooth is just screaming to take a nibble from every single image, ha! An awesome round up of healthier dessert options, we're certain we'll try one during our Holiday vacation. Let us know if you give one a go too and what you think! Also, do you have a recipe you're just dying to share with us? We'd love to try and feature it! Email us via CasaCullen@Gmail.com!
