Baking can be fun, but there are also times where you need exact measurements of ingredients, precise hand mixing skills, and the waiting time for your product to bake isn’t necessarily fun. Plus, sometimes even homemade pastries can be unhealthy. Fortunately, with a little bit of creativity, you can actually make healthy pastries that are also super easy to make! Want to know more about how to make them, then just keep reading!
1. Quick Bread.
Quick bread is bread loaves that are not made of yeast. Because of that, the dough does not expand in size, and they are easier to make because of that, just as the name says. They usually come in flavors made of vegetables or fruits, such as banana cake, carrot cake, zucchini cake, and a lot more. Because they can be made with minimal and simple ingredients, they are fairly easy to make. The ingredients used are also flexible, such as substituting butter with applesauce, chia egg, or even banana! Just mix up all the ingredients and pour the mixture into a loaf tray and bake it.

2. Muffins.
Although not as unhealthy as cupcakes, muffins also do have the reputation of being unhealthy. But with healthy ingredient substitutes, they can totally be made healthy as well. As muffins usually come in fruits, vegetable, or nut flavors, they can totally take over the other ingredients. Muffins are similar to quick bread, where you just mix the ingredients and pour the mixture into muffin cups and bake them. The good thing about them is that they are convenient and portable, making them great breakfast on the go.

3. Oatmeal Cookies.
Oat cookies you bought in stores are usually very unhealthy, as they are usually added with lots of sugar, white flour, flavorings, and so on. So a good option is to make them on your own. When you are making oat cookies, you get to control the portion on your own, meaning you get to use more of the healthier ingredients. They are fairly easy to make as well. It is just as simple as mixing all the ingredients, and use a spoon to estimate the size of the cookie and place them on a baking tray lined with a baking sheet, and then bake them and you’ll have convenient breakfast cookies.

You get to control what ingredients to put, and how much you want. Just mix up the ingredients, the line into a huge square or rectangle on a baking tray. There are some granola bars where you have to bake, but also recipes where you only need to freeze! When they have hardened up, just slice them into granola bar size and you got yourself some healthy pre-workout snacks!
