After forty days of giving up their favorite sweets, most people are ready to treat themselves. Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday, kicks off the Lenten season and Easter brings it to an end which means that many people splurge on the snacks they were separated from. There are plenty of recipes that are perfect for enjoying during Easter with more wholesome ingredients than the junk foods people often give up for Lent.
Look for baking mixes that are free of GMO/gluten/soy/grain and are low in sugar while being high in protein. Their products and recipes make the perfect addition to the snack table at every gathering. Some popular recipes on the company website include Speckled Vanilla Cupcakes, Toasted Coconut Cake, and Savory Bread Pudding.
Speckled Vanilla Cupcakes
These cupcakes made with vanilla cake baking mix are perfect for any Easter gathering. Cocoa powder is speckled within the vanilla cake mix to create a blend of the two classic flavors. The sweetest thing about these cupcakes is the wholesome ingredients used to make them which reduce the amount of empty calories and added sugar while still tasting delicious! Add a swirl of colorful frosting on top to make the cupcakes a beautiful addition to the dessert table. Recipe
