If you love baking, it's the perfect time to dust off your recipe book and mixer. With fall in full swing, we're dreaming about all the warm breads and seasonal spices. The only problem is, baked goods tend to be loaded with sugars and other not-so-nutritious ingredients. It got us thinking, are there baked goods recipes that are both delicious and healthy? (Thankfully, yes!)
Here are a few of our very favorite breads, muffins, and baked goods that are good for your soul and for your body:
