If your healthy diet is boring, you\u2019re doing it wrong! There\u2019s never been a better time to whip up healthy recipes. Discover the 13 most popular ingredients for healthy baking recipes (then get cooking with inspiration from recipes on The Core<\/a>\u2122<\/strong>).<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve never tried using your protein supplements and Active Foods<\/a>\u2122<\/strong> in home baking, you\u2019ve been missing out! Our healthy ingredients are amazingly versatile, lending themselves to healthier, protein-packed versions of your favourite treat recipes.<\/p>\n Pure Whey Protein\u2122.<\/strong><\/p>\n Our best-selling Pure Whey Protein<\/a>\u2122<\/strong> powder comes in 20 flavours (for now!) making it the perfect protein powder ingredient for healthier cookies, bars, cakes, and muffins.<\/p>\n Organic Virgin Coconut Oil.<\/strong><\/p>\n Organic coconut oil is a great ingredient for greasing and lining baking tins, adding moisture to recipes, or even spreading on hot, fresh baked goods. Yum! Because coconut oil is a healthy MCT<\/a> fat, it\u2019s a popular choice of fat ingredient for health-focused bakers.<\/p>\n VitaFiber\u2122.<\/strong><\/p>\n If you haven\u2019t tried VitaFiber<\/a>\u2122<\/strong> yet, you need to get on it! It will transform your protein baking. With just two ingredients (Pure Whey Protein\u2122<\/strong> and VitaFiber\u2122<\/strong>) you can create tasty, low carb cookies like these VitaFiber\u2122<\/strong> Protein Cookies<\/a><\/p>\n Liquid Egg Whites.<\/strong><\/p>\n Keep at least one bottle of liquid egg whites <\/a>on hand (bonus: they don\u2019t need to be kept in the fridge until they\u2019ve been opened). You\u2019ll have the option of adding loads of protein (and practically zero carbs or fats) to baking recipes, omelettes, frittatas and more. If a recipe calls for several whole eggs, replace one or more with liquid egg whites to suit your macros.<\/p>\n Chia Seeds.<\/strong><\/p>\n Chia seeds swell up in water, making them a fantastic binding ingredient for healthy baking. You can also make them into Chia Pudding, add them to your morning oats, use as a granola ingredient, or pop some in your shake. Chia seeds<\/a> add healthy fats, fibre, and some extra protein.<\/p>\n Peanut Butter.<\/strong><\/p>\n Why limit your baking repertoire to peanut butter when we have so many nut, seed, and flavoured nut butters<\/a> to choose from? Nut and seed butters add flavour and fats to your recipes, or you can spread them onto your homemade breads, cakes, and muffins. Some customers put nut butter on their sweet potatoes – we\u2019re not judging!<\/p>\n Liquiflav\u2122.<\/strong><\/p>\n Our sugar-free sweeteners are a brilliant way to flavour your sweet recipes. Use Liquiflav<\/a>\u2122<\/strong> add plenty of sweetness without any calories or macros. And you don\u2019t need much, so one little bottle goes a very long way. Use in recipes, in your oats, with plain Greek yoghurt or cottage cheese, or in your coffee.<\/p>\n Stevia Extract.<\/strong><\/p>\n If you like your sweeteners to be all-natural, keep a bag of Stevia extract in your baking cupboard. Stevia<\/a> is a non-sugar sweetener derived from the Stevia leaf. It is macro and calorie free, and delivers a lot of sweetness. Ideal for any recipe that calls for sugar, and great in coffee, tea, and porridge too.<\/p>\n Quinoa Flour.<\/strong><\/p>\n Quinoa flour is a low-GI source of carbohydrate which has the added bonus of being gluten free, and suitable for vegans. You can use quinoa flour in place of other flours in any sweet or savoury recipe. It\u2019s ideal for protein mug cakes. Here\u2019s one of our favourite recipes on The Core\u2122<\/strong>, the Vegan Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Stuffed Cookie<\/a>!<\/p>\n High Protein Flapjack Mix.<\/strong><\/p>\n Flapjacks + protein, hot from your own oven? Yes please! It could\u2019t be easier with our High Protein Flapjack Mix<\/a>. The only additional ingredients you\u2019ll need are honey, coconut oil or butter, and milk or dairy-free milk substitute. You could add cacao nibs, cocoa buttons, goji berries, or nuts if you wanted\u2026 who are we to tell you how to eat your own protein flapjacks?<\/p>\n Chia Seed Muffin Mix.<\/strong><\/p>\n Chia seed and chia flour is a great baking ingredient. We\u2019ve made it even simpler for you to create Chia Seed Muffins<\/a> with this done-for-you muffin mix. All you need to do is choose from Vanilla Sponge or Chocolate flavour, and add eggs, coconut oil or butter, and milk or an alternative. They\u2019re great hot from the oven, or cooled for snacks during the week.<\/p>\n Cacao Protein Brownie Mix.<\/strong><\/p>\n Everyone loves brownies. You can whip these bad boys up for guests, housemates, or for your own enjoyment. The mix makes it easy: just add eggs, coconut oil or butter, and milk or an alternative. They\u2019re made with our Pure Whey Protein\u2122<\/strong>, cacao powder, VitaFiber\u2122<\/strong> and flaxseed powder making them the healthiest ready-made Cacao Protein Brownie Mix<\/a> around.<\/p>\n Let us know what you\u2019ve been making and baking – share your creations with us on Instagram for a shout-out.<\/p>\n About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n Nicola Joyce has been writing for (and about) sport, fitness, nutrition and healthy living since 2004.
