100 Crock Pot Dessert Recipes: Whole-Foods Style

With the popularity of my 100 Days of No Processed Foods: Crock Pot Style post, I’ve realized there is a huge need and desire for crock pot recipes that don’t call for pre-packaged foods. When glancing through Pinterest, it’s evident that most crock pot recipes call for mixes, boxes, and cans of stuff from the grocery store. That’s why I so enjoy posting wholesome, whole-food crock pot recipes each Friday.

I got an idea in my head that wouldn’t go away. I have a dream – my dream is a huge list and resource of crock pot desserts that don’t call for cake mix, pudding, and canned pie mix. Did you know that before today, there isn’t such a list (at least not one that I can find). Well, BOOYA, BABY! I spent hours compiling this list for you. And it was a lot of fun hours, because as we all know, I love list making.

It’s hard to find wholesome slow cooker dessert recipes. Most of them are cake mixes baked in the crock – or a pie made with canned cherry pie filling. I know there is a need for healthy slow cooker desserts – and that’s why I provide a dessert section in both Crock On and Keep Crockin’. Because really, a girl should be able to get her chocolate on without eating it from a box.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

SPECIAL NOTE: In some of these recipes you’re going to see white sugar, white flour, and even vegetable oil. I don’t use those things. For me, when I see them I just automatically substitute whole-food ingredients instead. It’s something that happens in my head – along with a host of other things, but that’s neither here nor there.

A few of the recipes call for graham crackers, but I’ve included a recipe for you to make your own. So, get creative! Instead of marking a recipe off because it calls for crushed, store-bought cookies, just make cookies and crush them yourself.

  • If it calls for all-purpose white flour, I use white wheat (from my Nutrimill, but you can buy white wheat at the store).
  • If it calls for white sugar, I use sucanat in equal amounts – coconut sugar or honey granules would work as well.
  • If it calls for vegetable or canola oil, I use melted coconut oil.
  • If it calls for cornstarch, I use arrowroot instead.

____________________________________________________________________________________

So, this list is for you – no mixes or boxes included. So you can make a crock pot dessert and make it wholesome.  Everyone needs a wholesome piece of dessert after having bacon dinner.

    This is a great post and I love that you said how you substitute the “regular” ingredients with healthier ones. Thanks for sharing at Mix it up Monday Stacy, it is greatly appreciated and very useful to my readers. I’ve had several people looking for low-sugar or sugar-free desserts; looking forward to passing this along 🙂

    My mom makes hot fudge pudding cake for my Brother and dad’s birthday every year – I’ll have to try this one!
    Also, they are finally reading stuff for themselves and are buying more healthy foods. Apparently they got some good flour for the cake a couple weeks ago and she said it was the best it has ever been! 🙂
