3 Healthy Dessert Recipes for Children’s Day

Choosing Stevia syrup is a fantastic alternative for kids’ treats. It helps reduce sugar intake, which prevents tooth decay and avoids the “sugar rush” that can lead to hyperactivity.

Note: Since Stevia is significantly sweeter than regular sugar, always add it sparingly and taste as you go. Here are three easy, kid-approved recipes for this Children’s Day!

1. Mixed Fruit Yogurt Bark

This treat is like eating “sheet ice cream.” It’s refreshing, fun to eat, and packed with protein from the yogurt.

• Ingredients: Plain yogurt (Greek yogurt works best for a creamier texture), Stevia syrup, fresh fruits (strawberries, blueberries, ripe mango), and nuts or granola (if no allergies).

• Instructions:

  1. Mix the yogurt with a small amount of Stevia syrup until it reaches a mild sweetness.

  2. Spread the mixture onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper, about 1–1.5 cm thick.

  3. Top with fresh fruits and granola for a colorful look.

  4. Freeze for 3–4 hours until completely solid.

  5. Break it into shards or bite-sized pieces and serve immediately.

2. Fresh Orange Jelly

Kids and jelly are a perfect match! This recipe uses real fruit juice, allowing you to control the sweetness and avoid artificial colors.

• Ingredients: Freshly squeezed orange juice (or any fruit juice they love), agar-agar powder or gelatin, and Stevia syrup.

• Instructions:

  1. Warm the juice over low heat. Add the agar-agar powder and stir until fully dissolved (do not let it come to a rolling boil).

  2. Stir in the Stevia syrup to enhance the natural fruit flavor.

  3. Pour the mixture into fun cartoon molds or various shapes.

  4. Refrigerate until set. You’ll have soft, bouncy jelly with no refined sugar or food coloring.

3. Banana Oat Pancakes

This menu works perfectly as a healthy snack or a hearty breakfast. It’s filling and very high in fiber.

• Ingredients: 1 ripe banana, 1 egg, finely blended oats, a pinch of cinnamon (optional), and Stevia syrup.

• Instructions:

  1. Mash the banana thoroughly, then whisk in the egg and oats until combined.

  2. Add a tiny bit of Stevia syrup (be careful, as the ripe banana is already naturally sweet).

  3. Heat a non-stick pan over low heat and drop small spoonfuls of batter to make “silver dollar” pancakes.

  4. Flip once the bottom is golden brown and cook until done.

  5. Serve with fresh fruit or a light drizzle of Stevia syrup as a healthy substitute for honey or maple syrup.
