If you think whole wheat desserts are dry, tasteless, and not worth your time, I would ask you to think again! We have been baking with whole wheat for a few years now and I can honestly say these whole wheat desserts are delicious, moist, and are true family favorites!
So try one or try them all, you will not be disappointed...but I will warn you now. You will want to scroll all the way to the end, because we are always updating this great list of Delicious Desserts that are Whole Wheat and Good to Eat!
Our Favorite Date Cake. This was a family favorite that I could not wait to convert to whole wheat flour, and this version is just as delicious! Even my hubby, a died in the wool white flour lover, loves this cake...
Easy Saucepan Salted Pecan Squares is just the "need it now" cookie recipe you have been looking for! One pan for mixing and one pan for baking! Plus who doesn't love salted pecans in a cookie square?
Cherry Cobbler Skillet. When pie cherries come off the trees, stock up because this could grace your table a few times in the season and you would not get tired of it, I promise!
Mocha Date Cake is one step up from Our Favorite Date Cake, and just the ticket when you need something that is just a little bit more...add a touch of whipped cream or ice cream and watch as the smiles appear!
Jessica's Favorite Deep Dish Pecan Pie. This pie is on the list to be baked for every Thanksgiving, if not a couple time throughout the year. This is the one for all the folks that love the sticky middle, in their pecan pie...
The truth is, you will find several bread pudding recipes in this collection, however this is the only one made with honey! Honey Bread Pudding will be your new favorite dessert with no refined sugar.
Whole Grain Applesauce and Spice Chocolate Chip Cake, is so easy, not even a mixer is required! This delicious, moist cake is the one to make ahead and have ready for busy times when friends, family and neighbors stop by...
Dried Apple Pie AKA Schnitz Pie. Dried apple pie has been a favorite for centuries, and it took me awhile to get around to finally making one, but now that I have, there will be more set out at dessert time!
Sweet and Salty Cashew Blondies, only three ingredients and a few moments stirring time for a pan of chewy blondies! Looking for less sugar in your baking? If so, you will want to try this delicious bar cookie...
Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie. When you have guests on the way, throw one of these in the oven, because everyone loves chocolate chip cookies, and this pie is the adult version of cookies and milk! Plus it is perfect served warm...
This tender almond topped applesauce and honey cake is one you will want to make again and again! Honey and Applesauce Cake is so easy all you need is a wooden spoon alongside your mixing bowl...
I have to say that chocolate cake was the final test in our house for whole wheat baking. My family loves chocolate and a dry cake would never do! And the boiled fudgy frosting on this Buttermilk Chocolate Cake is a snap to make...
Choose your favorite fruit for this one. It is easy to make and everyone will love it! Personally, I am all about the crust...in this Crust Lovers Fruit Cobbler.
Carrot cake has always been a favorite of mine, and this tender version with the soft creamy topping, is my new favorite. Plus One Bowl Carrot Cake is super easy to make!
Bread pudding is a time-honored favorite, and for good reason. Not only is it delicious, but frugal as well. Everyday Bread Pudding calls for pantry basics and using the Instant Pot/Electric Pressure Cooker makes it fast and easy on the cook!
You can't go wrong with this rich and fruity Fruit and Nut Brownie Bread...it just might become a family favorite at your house.
Everyone needs an easy-to-make Date and Walnut Bar recipe. Perfect alongside fresh fruit or piled on a serving platter and offered on their own.
Simple Nut Bread, but don't let the name fool you. This moist loaf is delicious and has no refined sugar...

Tender, rich, and delicious Whole Wheat Cream Cheese Banana Bread. Add Walnuts or chocolate chips...or maybe both?
This will become a new family favorite, Easy One Bowl Apple Cake. In our family Apple cakes are looked forward to, the year round.
Nectarine Galette in Whole Grain Pastry, only looks like a fancy dessert, but in reality it is one of the easiest desserts that you will ever make. And the best part? It is delicious!
Whole Wheat Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are the bomb! The success of this recipe encouraged me to continue forward and only bake with whole wheat flour...
Whole Wheat Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Rich, and delicious. Also made with whole wheat bread...Custard Bread Pudding is quick and easy when you use your Instant Pot / Electric Pressure Cooker.
We originally made these as a quick dessert in our little RV, but they are too good to save for camping. Double or triple the recipe for Individual Blueberry Cakes as needed and don't forget to add a bit of whipped cream...
Sugar cookies are the little black dress of desserts, everyone needs a good recipe. These Whole Grain Quick and Easy Sugar Cookies are delicious as is, but for a more festive touch add a bit of vanilla buttercream frosting and some sprinkles.
For banana bread lovers and those times you have bananas that need to be used. This recipe for 5 Ingredient Banana Bread is perfect and one that the kids can help with or make and bake...
Don't let the secret ingredient (peanut butter) put you off, it adds a rich buttery flavor to the crisp topping, so don't leave it out! Slow Cooker Apple Crisp will be your new fall favorite!
Because everyone needs a good recipe for Whole Wheat Jam Crumble Bars! The perfect use for homemade jam...or use your favorite flavor from the market.
This delicious old-fashioned Creamy Butterscotch Meringue Pie is just like your grandmother might have made, and recipes don't get much better than that!
Fudgy Chocolate Pudding Cake is delicious, fudgy, and made in your slow cooker! Perfect for busy days, and the recipe is so easy this is one the kids can put together!
Do you remember G.O.R.P. the snack mix made out of raisins and peanuts? If so you will love Good Old Raisins and Peanuts Honey Cookies! And yes, they pack well for hikes.
Applesauce Spice Chocolate Chip Cake is sophisticated but not fussy. Perfect with some whipped cream or a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. Moist, a little spice, and oh my, those chocolate chips...

If you are a banana bread fan or not, this festive loaf of Carrot Cake Banana Bread is what you are looking for! To be fair it is not carrot cake, but it sure does taste like one!
Toffee and Walnut Oatmeal Cookies is a delicious riff of my master cookie recipe for Oatmeal Cookie Dough for the Freezer. Yes, you can keep cookie dough in the freezer, ready to bake at a moment's notice. And who doesn't like fresh baked cookies?

If bananas stack up at your house, you too may be looking for a different way to use them other than another loaf of banana bread. Which is exactly how this creamy Banana Cream Bread Pudding was developed! Add a touch of whipped cream and freshly sliced bananas and dig in...
Whole Grain Mocha Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies is another convenient cookie dough for the freezer. This delicious flavor is especially geared towards the grown-up folks around the table, with the added espresso powder.
