3 Dessert Recipes that Won't Break Your Diet

I don't know about you but whenever I decide to go on a diet, I immediately start craving junk food (my mind likes to play tricks on me).  I can go months and months without indulging in a cupcake but the minute I restrict myself, all I can think about are moist cupcakes piled high with cream cheese frosting.  I have begun collecting healthy dessert recipes to tame my sweet tooth.  While this may sound like an oxy moron, in truth, they are just a better way to eat some of my favorite foods.  I get to feel like I am indulging in something sinful while also staying on course to shed my holiday pounds.  These recipes stay away from gluten, refined sugars, and limit fat.  Until I meet my cupcake again, these delicious substitutes work wonders.
