3 Good Choices:

• Coconut oil
• Instead of a processed oil, like canola oil, or heavy oil like extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil is very light and tasty!
• Natural Pumpkin Puree
• Be careful when buying pumpkin puree; check the ingredient label for added in sugars and preservatives! 
• Salt and Cream Butter
• Use a natural salt and cream butter over a standard margarine. Salt and cream butter has less saturated fats, and more healthy fats  

Baking is one of my favorite things to do, and making healthy and tasty desserts makes it even better! As fall is in full swing, pumpkin muffins are perfect for a tasty snack or breakfast accompaniment! And the colorful cone cakes are great treats any kid would love. We also have more muffin recipes here that are nutritious and family favorites. And kids of all ages love ice cream and cupcakes so why not try this creative way to bring those two worlds together. I made the cones with one of my best friend on the weekend just for fun! And we loved expressing out creativity, it was like an art! We went around and gave them to friends to make their day into something special, and we were happy to share. Adults loved them, teenagers and kids did too! I can't wait to try them for my sister's next birthday or something!
