If you're following a balanced eating plan, then pie might not be the first dish you're rushing to try. In fact, you might be avoiding sweets altogether. While indulging in tasty desserts like pie is fine in moderation, we've come up with a recipe that allows you to have your pie and eat it, too.

One of the things that make store-bought pies so unhealthy is their high sugar content. Store-bought pies often contain processed sugars, artificial flavors and even additives like hydrogenated oils and trans fats. For a healthier pie option, we recommend making one at home. Making a homemade pie gives you control over the ingredients that go into it. When made with healthy, wholesome ingredients and all-natural sweeteners like honey, pies don't have to be bad for you. In fact, they can be a convenient way to get a healthy serving of fruits.

For a delicious pie recipe that won't derail your diet, make this Honey Blackberry Pie. In this dessert, sweet honey is combined with tart blackberries to create a perfectly balanced treat free of processed sugars. Additionally, our Gluten Free Pie Crust Mix is used in this recipe to create a gluten free base for all of your favorite pie toppings. So go ahead, have a slice of pie,  and feel great knowing that every bite is made with whole food ingredients. 

Honey Whole Wheat Popovers Recipes

These treats will have you wondering why you didn't try sweetening baked breads with honey sooner. In our opinion, popovers don't often get the recognition they deserve. If you're unsure what a popover is, let us explain. A popover is similar to a dinner roll with an airy, crispy exterior and a luscious, custardy interior. Popovers were named as such because when baked, this delicious treat often begins to pop over the sides of the pan. They're ideal when served as an appetizer or as a side at your next dinner party. Plus, this fun and festive treat is simple to make!

Though the structure of a popover may seem intimidating, this Honey Whole Wheat Popover Recipe uses approachable steps to ensure a no-fail result. Made with just five ingredients, it's an easy-to-memorize method that can be mastered in minutes. In this dish, our Bob's Red Mill Whole Wheat Flour is paired with naturally sweet honey to create a flavor combo that even the most picky eaters will enjoy.

Aside from its incredible flavor profile, honey has some pretty impressive health benefits. Packed with antioxidants and antimicrobial properties, honey plays a vital role in a balanced diet, from helping with seasonal allergies to providing a much needed post-workout energy boost. The positive effects of honey on a well-balanced diet are endless. 

We hope that these recipes with honey have inspired you to start adding this sweet treat to your weekly meals.
