Wait, did you say, 30 minute desserts? Like, I can make all these healthy recipes in 30 minutes OR LESS?!? Oh yes, yes I did, my friends. From cookies to krispy treats to fudge to mousse to dips, even ice cream. And they’re all good for you too with options for everyone — whether you prefer sugar free, gluten free, dairy free, or vegan treats, or maybe you’re looking for something specific, like low fat, low carb, or high protein recipes — so you’ll be sure to find something you love.

These 5-ingredient, 50-calorie Healthy Chocolate Fudge Truffles taste like heaven in a bite-sized package. They’re so sweet, chocolatey, and fudgy, you’d never be able to tell they’re low calorie, low carb, sugar free, high protein, dairy free, and vegan!
.
These Healthy Buckeye Balls are sweet and fudgy, peanut buttery orbs of magic surrounded by a layer of rich and decadent dark chocolate. It’s hard to believe they’re refined sugar free, low carb, high protein, and gluten free!
And while you’re here, I think you’ll also like these Peanut Butter Protein Balls. And the Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Balls 😉
.
These Healthy Fudgy Pumpkin Pie Energy Bites have got all the flavor of pumpkin pie, but in a portable, bite-sized form! You’d never know they’re refined sugar free, high fiber, gluten free, and vegan either. These are so good, I’m not even surprised that they’ve been pinned over 64k times.
If you’re an energy bite lover like me, I think you’ll also like these Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Energy Bites.
.
This recipe is a free sampler from my DIY Protein Bars Cookbook! It is honestly one of my favorite recipes from the book, even though it’s so simple. You can’t go wrong with chocolate+peanut butter, and the fact that these are beyond fudgy and delicious, but also low calorie, low sugar, gluten free, dairy free, and vegan, makes me love ’em even more.
.
This recipe is one of the most popular recipes from my DIY Protein Bars Cookbook (probably neck and neck with the Matcha Green Tea Fudge Protein Bars). I also have a video tutorial making this recipe on my YouTube channel:
.
Granola bars are great and all, but most recipes require baking and call for a ton of honey, maple syrup, or sugar. NOT THESE. Healthy No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola Bars — chewy and hearty, sweet, chocolate-peanut butter deliciousness. Secretly refined sugar free, high protein, high fiber, and gluten free too!
.
You really can’t go wrong with Krispy Treats — they’re crunchy, they’re chewy, they’re super sweet, and they’re packed with fluffy marshmallows. Oh wait, yeah, that’s the problem… they’re full of fructose and corn syrup, preservatives, and artificial food dyes (yuck). That’s why I made these Healthy Krispy Treats!
.
This is another recipe from my DIY Protein Bars Cookbook. I have made this recipe over 50 times (no joke) and they have been a hit 100% of the time. This is my favorite recipe to make for charity bake sales and they’ve sold out each and every time!
.
This Healthy Single-Serving Funfetti Microwave Cake is soft, fluffy, and moist. It’s buttery without the butter, sweet without the sugar, and rich without the excess calories. Oh, and it’s sugar free, low fat, low carb, high protein, high fiber, and gluten free too!
.
These uber chewy Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies don’t taste healthy at all. They’re flavorful, rich, and decadent, and practically bursting with peanut butter essence with every whiff, and obviously, every bite. They’re also full of sweetness and an addicting chewy texture.
.
These Chocolate Chip Cookies are soooo soft and chewy — definitely my favorite recipe from my Naughty or Nice Cookbook.
.
These cookies are adapted from the Chocolate Chip Cookies above, and are just as soft and chewy with a hit of matcha flavor.
.
YASSSSS gummy bears fo’ life! I also recipes for Strawberry Gummy Bears (a ton of readers have made this recipe, so I’m not surprised that it’s been pinned 57k times!), Orange, Green Apple, Blueberry, and Peach Mango. All of these recipes have been hits!

Definitely one of my all-time favorite 30 minute desserts. This has the full essence of rich, toasted hazelnut flavor, along with chocolatey sweetness and a creamy texture.
I came out with my original Nutella recipe years ago and it quickly gained so much popularity, that I revamped the recipe for a better texture and flavor in my Naughty or Nice Cookbook. I won’t lie, though, both recipes are absolutely mind-blowing. And both are sugar free, low carb, low calorie, low fat, gluten free, dairy free, and vegan too!
.
Like chocolate chips, but BETTER! These are like chocolate chips on crack. The chocolate and Nutella combine to make the most decadent and satisfying chocolate-hazelnut chips one can wish for! Out of all the Nutella recipes I’ve made, this is definitely one of my personal favorites 🙂
.
Add a little hit of peanut butter to cookies, brownies, oatmeal, ice cream, and more with these Healthy Peanut Butter Baking Chips!

This Cake Batter Dip tastes exactly like a slice of cake, just in dip form! It is smooth and creamy, sweet and buttery, and rich and flavorful… you would never guess that it’s healthy, all natural and actually good for you.
.
When you’re in the mood for cheesecake but don’t want to bother with all the hassle, waiting, baking and unhealthy sugar and butter, THIS is what you make!
I’ve also made a ton of Cheesecake Dip variations: Red Velvet, Pumpkin Pie, Oreo, Strawberry, and Apple Pie!
.
This super easy 4-ingredient Healthy Cannoli Dip is so sweet, smooth, and creamy, you’d never know it’s refined sugar free, fat free, low carb, high protein, and gluten free too!
.
This Healthy Mocha Mousse is so thick and rich and chocolatey and sweet and delicious and addicting.
.
Seriously?? Healthy Peanut Butter Cookie Dough?! I think I’m crying tears of pure joy.
.
.
.
.
This Chocolate Fudge Protein Ice Cream is so incredibly smooth and creamy, rich and sweet, drool-worthy and delicious, and it’s made with only 5 ingredients!

Hope you enjoyed this list! Nothin’ better than a healthy dessert ready in no time at all 😉
