A Roundup of Healthier Valentine’s Day Treats

Who needs a box of chocolates for Valentine’s Day when you can celebrate with these healthier, homemade treats instead. From mini chocolate cupcakes made with wild blueberries, whole wheat flour, and a lightened-up frosting to brownies sweetened naturally with dates, surprise your family with one of these better-for-you desserts from dietitians who still love to splurge.

If you think registered dietitians don’t love sweet-tasting desserts, guess again. But like me, as you’ll see from these dozen-plus Valentine recipes, they can’t resist adding nutrient-rich, naturally sweet ingredients to everything they make.

Chocolate cupcakes get a healthy fix. Watch me cook up these mini treats on YouTube.
