These oatmeal cookies have a seasonal twist, combining tangy tangerines and jewel-like cranberries with a buttery, chewy oatmeal dough.

Chocolate-orange flourless cookies atop sweetened Greek yogurt dazzle the taste buds while beautiful blood oranges add extra eye appeal. 

A rich chocolate guilt-free treat!  It’s a great way to make a dessert with extra CSA sweet potatoes. Vegan, Gluten free, and no added sugar! This recipe was entered in our We ♥ Local Sweet Potato recipe contest by Rebecca Mulheron.

Enjoy pure lemony bliss with these light, bite-size cheesecakes. You can make these ahead, and store the cheesecakes, without the marmalade topping, in the freezer in an airtight container for up to three months. To serve, defrost in the refrigerator for about 4 hours, and top with marmalade. 

High in protein and fiber, these crunchy, quinoa crispy treats are the perfect dessert to kick off the New Year! 

Quick, easy and irresistible, these bars are a perfect holiday treat or DIY gift. This salty-sweet, crispy and chewy treat will disappear quickly, no matter what you do! Make a double batch and wrap half of these bars in a decorative box as a quick gift for party hosts, or for your office “secret Santa.” 

This moist fruit-forward cake really requires no frosting, but you could add a decorative sprinkling of powdered sugar to the top before you serve with dark, rich demitasse cups of espresso.

Baking this rich yet tart dessert in a spring-form pan makes it easy to create a show-stopping presentation for your holiday finale. Use your very best cake plate, and decorate with candied chestnuts and twists of lemon peel around the base of the tart.

Treat yourself (and your guests), with this unique twist on whipped cream! Delicious on any pie, cake or crumble. If you don’t have an electric mixer, you can do this by hand with a whisk, but be warned it will take quite a bit of muscle and time to achieve nice, soft peaks. 

Give this sweet, seasonal recipe a try. The fresh cranberries make this crumble pleasantly tart and the oats add a nice crunchy bite. Enjoy with your favorite non-dairy vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of maple syrup.
