One of the Top 25 Food Blogs in America
Meet Katie: a girl who eats chocolate every day and sometimes even has cake for breakfast.
After creating a small food blog just for fun, Katie watched the blog suddenly skyrocket in popularity, quickly becoming the #1 source for healthy desserts and comfort food recipes and ranked as one of the top 25 cooking websites on the internet – with up to 8 million viewers each month.
Katie has been featured by The Today Show, USA Today, Time, CNN, The Food Network, Bon Appétit, Cooking Light, People Magazine, the msn, yahoo, and aol homepages, and the ABC 5 O’Clock News.
The Huffington Post selected Katie as one of their Best Healthy Food Instagram accounts to follow, and Amazon chose her debut cookbook as one of their Top 20 Cookbooks of the Year.

Katie, we NEED to see a picture of ya GORGEOUS face on this page!!! BE VAIN!!!
Doris says
How can we print a recipe without all the pictures and comments. I tried to print the Healthy Chocolate Fudge Zucchini Brownies and ended up with 8 pages of stuff that I didn’t need or want.
Unofficial CCK Helper says
I’ve printed some of Katie’s recipes before. What I do is hi-light the recipe, then right-click and hit “save;” then I open a new Word document, right-click and hit “paste.” This saves the recipe (and any photos, etc., that I’ve hi-lighted) in a new document, that I then re-name and save in my “CCK Recipe” folder.
Kim Meseck says
She also has a Pinterest page where you can just pin her recipes to. For recipes with no Pins, I also do what Unofficial CCK Helper does.
Rachel says
When you go to print instead of printing “all” click select page and type in the page number that holds the recipe.

Hi Doris,
When you print, you have the option of choosing which pages. Try this:
Print>Page range>Pages [insert specific pages here, for instance, 1,2]>OK. Another option is to HIGHLIGHT the pages you want to: Highlight>Print>Selection>OK. Hope this helps.

Hi Doris,
Do this: highlight recipe you want to copy (from any website). Bear in mind, sometimes when you highlight the recipe, it will include the picture and it cannot be helped. That’s ok. Include it, bear with me on this. Now, copy to Word document. Click on Paste Special. Then click on ‘Unformatted Text’. You will now have the recipe you wanted and the picture or photo will NOT be included. I do it this way all the time and once I’m in Word, I can format it the way I like.

Donna, thanks for your great explanation of how to print what you want. I was not familiar with all the steps you use, but you brought me and many others, I’m sure, up to speed. Thanks a bunch!😊🇺🇸
Jackie Davis says

Highlight what you want…
Click print…
In the print dialog, check Selection.
Then ok.
Yes it works well.

In most browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari or Windows – Google Chrome hold down the ‘Control’ key and quickly tap the “P” key) in the menu bar at the top left of the browser window you can click on “File” then “Print Preview”. This will show you the pages of the article in print form. Find the pages you want to print and note the page number(s). Then click the Print button in the upper left corner. The print window will open, go to the Print Range and in the put the number of the first page in the left box and the number or the end page in the right box (just one page – use the same number) and left-click the “OK” button.
No menu bar? – right-click on an open spot to the right of an open Tab. Then select “Menu Bar” from the window that opens up.
Martha says
Hi 🙂 Doris, the info that Bruce shared is really very easy and the best way to go in my opinion. That is the way I’ve done it forever and it always works. Also, in some OS, they have an option on the “print window” that you can do away with images. Thanks Bruce and all for sharing.
Thank you Katie for such great recipes, a wonderful blog and for sharing your pic. You are indeed a very pretty lady but even better a very intelligent and creative woman. Happy weekend to all. 🙂 <3 <3
PS will certainly "like" on FB and post/follow on pin (as soon as I find my password LOL)!!! <3 <3

if you have WORD, highlight just the text you want to print>right click>select “copy”>open a WORD document >right click anywhere on the document >select “paste”.
repeat until all desired text/photos are pasted.
edit as desired>print preview>print.
you can store all your recipes on a usb/flash drive and build your own customized cookbook. I always include a citation and date the website was accessed. ( I don’t like plagiarism). thanks to everyone for sharing! my hubby is in the hospital due to complications from chemo and I joined a conversation in front of the cafeteria when I overheard “black bean brownies”. Hubby is on a high protein diet for cellular recovery and he loves brownies!

If you’ve got a Mac, what I do is press command, shift, 4. That gives you a target shaped cursor. With that click and drag over exactly what you want to capture. This is a screen capture. Once it appears on desktop just open and print . Voila, easy.
Joyce West says
Thanks for the Mac info!
I will surely get a lot of use from the instructions.

I use “print preview” rather than “print”.//then you can see which pages that need to print, I.e. page 1of1. Or 2-3, etc… I use this for everything. .bank statements, etc bcos the screen shot is not always” what you see is what you get” …I hate wasting an extra page that only has a header or footer or non- important info

linda says
To print:
1. Go to FILE, top left of page
2. Select PRINT PREVIEW
3. Type in only page nos. you wish to print
Good luck!
Teresa says
Hi Linda,
To copy a receipe without all the other stuff you don’t want, just highlight the recipe and paste it to a word document. At this stage, you can delete all the stuff you don’t want and keep only the recipe. You can also save the word document to your desktop into a Foods folder. Hope this helps.
Teresa
Jackie says
Highlight the entire recipe and paste it into WORD. Then go into WORD and delete/cut what you don’t want. Save it and then print. Almost every recipe fits on one page.
Vi says
Press shift+command+4 to take a screenshot of the recipe ( it will give you a cross-shaped cursor that you’ll box the recipe with and release to take the picture) The image will show up on your desktop where you can print it with command+p.
Chelsea B. says
Open a word doc and go to insert; add screenshot, and take a screen clipping of the recipe. This will eliminate all of the other stuff you don’t want.
Beth Shanahan says
Hi Doris – Hit the print button. See the word All on the print tab. Hit that and the option ‘Custom’ comes up. Hit that. Look at the recipe and note the number of pages and where the actual recipe begins after the text and photos. Then type in those numbers to custom. For example type 5-7 for only printing pages 5 through 7. Then hit print and voilá! All you will print is the recipe. Yours in good eating, Beth
Scott Hespen says
How are you printing it? If you hit Print Recipe right below the picture in the recipe next to the ingredients, you should get just the recipe without pictures. If you hit Print from the drop down menu on your web browser, it will print the entire web page top to bottom.
Peter says
I use Google Chrome as my browser and an extension called “Recipe Filter”. It cuts to the chase and presents the recipe without all of the background information. From there you can select print recipe and it will give you the option to print just the recipe without all of the blog and comments. If you care to read all of that you can simply click to close the popped up recipe and view the blog as normal.
Probably the most helpful browser extension I’ve ever used.
Doris says
How can we print a recipe without all the pictures and comments. I tried to print the Healthy Chocolate Fudge Zucchini Brownies and ended up with 8 pages of stuff that I didn’t need or want.
Doris says
Hi Doris, to print just the parts you want ,hi-light one part at a time and click and drag on to your desktop. I hope that helps.

Hi Katie,
I’m struggling to browse your website on my phone . There are just way too many ads that breaks up the blog to the point it’s hard to follow on a mobile phone. I love your recipes and have tried a few. The ads are stopping me from wanting to check out your blog. Overcrowds it. Sorry but I thought you should know.

Hello Katie,
I found your Blog while looking for articles on whether to use Blogger or WP. Apparently you are using both at this time.
Which are you liking more and why?
giving WP a quick look over I see that I can either use it via their free online service or install it on my own server. Has that been a consideration for you and do you know of any discussion of this topic?
Carlos
P.S. I noticed that you have your e-mail address in both your information pages (Blogger and this one). Spam Robots pick up on them quickly and so that is one of the reasons why you are probably recieving tons of Spam in you Spam box or (worse yet) in your InBox.
P.P.S. Your a real Cutie! (:>)

I am not a vegan, but try to eat vegetarian about 90% of the time. I have had vegan desserts before from a good friend who is a vegan, but they seem like a challenge. Any easy recipe you recommend?
Thanks!

Kelsey @ CleanTeenKelsey says
I would LOVE for you to cover those topics you listed! I have problems with all of them. My family was recently invited to dinner by another family and the main question was “what will Kelsey eat?” Not to mention, I go to camps and conferences all the time where food is provided, and here’s me, lugging in my cooler full of food. Any light you can shed on the matter would be wonderful. 🙂

Veganism is not a diet!
Jen says
Actually, yes it is. The definition of the word ‘diet’ is “the kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats.” So by eating vegan, that is your diet.

VeganJ,
I’m not sure what your comment means, as nowhere in my page does it say veganism is solely a diet.

Thank you for the great website, and I liked your advice about running and knees, as I’m a relatively new runner (2 years). Your two dogs are cute, I have a Cairn Terrier and a White Highland Terrier — very fun! Thanks for brightening my day! 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Thanks, Suzanne! And Molly and Henry (my crazy puppers) say hi :).
Cyndi says
Oh, wow! I thought I was the only one who calls my boys “puppers!” My guys are Eddie, a cute, loving mutt, and Kirby, who has the body of a fluffy little toy poodle and the soul of a Marine. (I know because my Dad was a Marine.)
I LOVE your website, and I’m totally amazed by your great recipes. I make them for my kids without telling them anything about them. They never know the difference between vegan or mainstream, low-sugar or full strength, etc. They just like them and ask for me to make more! Your recipes are the greatest thing for my family’s diet (as in what we eat, not weight-loss diet). We’re eating healthier and better since I found your site and I’m so grateful.
You’re already doing great things with your life as a college student. What are your plans for the future? I’m so impressed by you, you are really going places! And I wish you every happiness and blessing, you deserve them.
(BTW, no one likes their own picture. You should love yours, you’re so cute! No worries for you!)
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Thank you so much! I’m open to possibilities for the future. Maybe a second book, maybe television… But if neither of those happen, I’m still very happy just blogging 🙂

Nikki says
I love your style of eating/cooking. What are you most conscious about? how many calories something has? how much protein? how much fat? where the ingredients come from?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hi Nikki!
Hmmm… I actually don’t really pay attention to fat grams or calories or protein (except to be excited when I discover that something I like anyway happens to have a lot of protein).
I do try and eat organic for the “dirty dozen.” But if I happen to see a reeeaally beautiful peach or something that isn’t organic, I’ll still buy it. I’m pretty easygoing and just normally eat whatever my body’s telling me it wants :).

Hey darlin, I sent a mail to you and it just bounced right back (like, instantly), is that the wrong one to mail to you? I’m trying to send my Hug a Vegan blog link! Ack! 🙂 Thank you!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hmm… that’s the right address. But no worries; I got the link anyway (through a pingback). I’ll visit your site later today to see it!! And I’ll definitely include you in the wrap-up post :). You’re awesome!
Psyckoprincess says
Thanks!!! So are you 🙂 Hm I’ll try emailing again to that one sometime, I had a question for you but it’s slipped my mind…… lol (Seems like quite an awful lot of things slip through there these days haha!) I’m excited to see all the Hugga pictures, yay!

jess says
Hi Katie,
Can you give me an approx calorie count on your boatmeal for 1 recipe?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hi Jess,
It depends on a lot of things: the sweetener you use, the milk you use, the add-ins… But since it’s for one, you can easily just add up all the individual ingredients you use, and that’s your calorie count for it.

Katie–
Happy New Year to you!! Just wanted to tell you how much it means that you encouraged your readers to contribute to the matching challenge, and to tell you that….WE MET THE MATCH!! That’s right!! Folks from all over the country, but mostly right here in the Hudson Valley, contributed. We’re thrilled and humbled, and look forward to a wonderful 2011 doing some long range planning to use these funds to deepen our work on behalf of voiceless animals.
Lots of love and thoughts of chocolate to you from all your friends at Catskill Animal Sanctuary, and thank you again for your kindness.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Oh wow, Kathy, thank you SO much for taking the time to leave me a message! And I am THRILLED to hear you met the match. I kept checking and re-checking your website and twitter status for updates!
Please give my love to Rambo and all the other crazy animals lucky enough to have found you. I think you are one of the most amazing people in the world, and I am so thankful there are kindhearted souls in this world to care for those who can’t defend themselves.
P.S. I loved your first book, and I’m excited to start on the second, which I received for Christmas :).

Hi Katie, just found your blog and I really like it. I will be reading from now on. My hubby and I were vegans for abot 15 years but gave it up. Lots of things we still eat without meat. I want to try some of your recipes. Have a happy new year.

Hi Katie! I just discovered your blog & I wanted to let you know how excited I am to start following you! While I am not a vegan I have a few close friends that are and I am always trying to come up with new recipes to cook for them when they come to dinner at my house! Your website will now be my “go to” for vegan recipes and treats! 🙂

I know this page is still a baby but I like how organized it is. But you definitely are more than a diet so some information about your life, hobbies, etc. besides food will show us the real you.

I think it’s perfect as-is, with the emphasis on food because it’s a food blog after all. And I appreciate that you talk about your struggles, even though I know you said it’s hard to show you’re not “perfect”.
But I can relate better to bloggers who show their true selves. It makes ME feel better about not being perfect too. 🙂

this is a great page so far katie! I would like to hear more about your travels, the food you enjoyed while traveling, and maybe how your diet isn’t “perfect” and how that makes you human! I know you’ve talked about that before but it is helpful to hear again about your perspective on veganism.

Hey Katie! Would love to hear more about your running/weight lifting routines. Have you ever done any races? Half Marathons or Marathons? Just my 2 cents!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I haven’t done a race since high school! I really should!! I’d love to do a 15-K. Don’t think I’ll ever attempt any marathons, but a 1/2 might be fun someday! 🙂

Hey Katie, I’d already read your about me page once or twice of course, but it’s nice that you sprused it up and added some info (and the diet/blog intro!). I particularly love this sentence:
surprising others with yummy recipes they can’t believe are good for them.
haha, I just visualize people with their eyeballs rolling out. like when I told my friends tjhe secret ingredients to my chocolate truffle balls was TOFU. priceless, I tell ya.

I like the new page a lot, Katie! It is really fun to read a little more about you; as for more info on travels, college, etc., BRING IT ON! You’re such a fun, healthy lady, and it’s inspirational to read about. And don’t worry about sharing your struggles; it makes you real. People who want to say something negative because of that just don’t feel good about themselves, and have a lot to learn from you 🙂

I think this is a really good about me section. It hits on the major points that make up this blog (your path to veganism, your philosophy about food and diet, and your personality comes through). If you think you want to go into more detail about certain aspects you’ve mentioned, perhaps you can consider doing a series of “About me” posts where you talk about your travels and other non-food related things, and just link the pages here as you finish writing them (like you did with the other links above). That way, you can keep things short and sweet, and people can read more about you in more detailed posts if they choose.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Thanks! I really like your idea about just putting in a few links for the rest of the “about” so it doesn’t get too long.

Embodying Freedom says
I’ve always had trouble writing about myself/my struggles as well, especially since my blog is mostly about…me. But it does help to know that someone out there read what you wrote and felt less alone because of it. That makes the self-consciousness of vanity all worth it. Sometimes, listening to someone talk about themselves is exactly what WE need to process our own lives.

Alex@Spoonful of Sugar Free says
The page looks great as is! I really don’t think an “about page” needs to have your whole life story on it. People don’t need to know everything, and they need to respect your privacy!
One thing I would love to know sometimes, though, is about your travels! You said you moved around a lot (all over the world!), and I would love to learn about other cultures through your eyes.
Oh, and I forgot to tell you, but you reminded me when you said “your try to gain weight time…” I gained 15 pounds last summer (because I was too skinny. Unhealthy for me.) If you ever need advice, email me!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Oh my gosh, Alex, I would LOVE it if you could help me! I’ll be emailing you tomorrow when I get a chance :).

I want to hear about the wonders of moving around!

Where haven’t I lived? (Sadly, that answer is “California” hehe.) But I’ve lived in England, Pennsylvania, Japan, Texas, China, and The Philippines. 🙂

Hi Katie!
I just found your blog! I’m a very active vegan too (running, climbing, dancing :-)! And I’m working on gaining some weight (actually, right now, I’m pretty happy – at a nice sweet spot! Thanks to lots of pb, coconut butter, and tahini!! :-). So, I eat pretty similarly to you – lots of fresh stuff and veggies and high calorie nut related products :-). Anyway, I’m loving your blog. I think its going to be my destress tool of the semester! And next time I’m in close proximity of a blender I’m going to make some your babies :-). I get similar things from the awesome twins at Pure2Raw – they sell at the farmer’s market I run to on Saturdays :-).
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hey Mallory!
Ok, first of all I am completely jealous that you get Pure2Raw treats in real life (and even more jealous you actually know the girls in real life. They’re such sweethearts!). And also, your kind words mean the world to me. Thank you so much :).
Love (and chocolate!),
Katie

Lol, the comment section on todays post was closed (clearly you’re too popular for your own good!). I like the way that you’re divided this into sections and have provided links if people want to read more rather than potentially bombarding new readers with lots of information (personally, I love reading about you and how you got to be who you are now but I suppose it could discourage some). Looks brilliant so far, you coul also include a bit about your travel experiences if you wanted, as reading about overseas adventures seem to be universally enjoyed by all.

I always love everything you write, and everything you do that you write about. And never feel pressured to be perfect. There’s a super good article called ‘The Disease Called Perfection’ on the ‘Single Dad Laughing’ blog if you feel like reading the most inspirational thing on the internet. It follows your philosophy perfectly – just be yourself and you’ll be perfect. You are perfect at being you. (Song of the day: More beatiful You – Jonny Diaz)

Hey Katie- just stumbled upon your blog today while I was looking for a vegan recipe for German Chocolate Cupcakes to make for my brother’s birthday (who is the ultimate meat-eater, but I like to prove to him and the rest of my family that they’re just as yummy as regular).
I LOVE YOUR STUFF! I too am a self-proclaimed “choco-holic”, but am finding that it’s taking a toll on me. I have a 17month old daughter, and when she was 3 months old, we found out that she had a dairy allergy. In order to continue nursing, I had to change my diet to both dairy and soy-free. I could have started her on some dairy at a year old, but after reading how actually NOT good it is for you, I have opted to keep her dairy free, as well as myself. Upon making this diet change, I in turn lost almost 50 lbs, (my baby weight+an extra 25 lbs) and felt so good! Now, after I have stopped nursing, I have started to notice that I have started to put weight back on, (only like 5 lbs, but still) and don’t feel as good as I used to. Is it possible that my body has gotten used to this diet, and now I’m putting the weight back on because I’ve hit, like, a plateau or something? I have 3 kids, so I don’t get to “exercise”, but I do run around with them, do housework, and go for walks, but do I need to do more in order to lose more weight? I’ve never done well with calorie counting, and I’ve tried cutting out sweets all together, (but found I am on crabby mommy if I do that) and I love baking way too much to not do that! Just wanted your input on it, since you seem like you know your way around the kitchen and exercise world. 🙂 Thanks Katie.

Hey Erin!! Thanks so much for the sweet comment :). Unfortunately, I really don’t know much about losing weight or ways to do so. But I’m glad you found me anyways. Sorry I can’t be of more help!

Hey Katie- just stumbled upon your blog today while I was looking for a vegan recipe for German Chocolate Cupcakes to make for my brother’s birthday (who is the ultimate meat-eater, but I like to prove to him and the rest of my family that they’re just as yummy as regular).

Hey Katie, I am another now devoted follower of yours who just recently stumbled across your blog. I wish I had found it sooner but I’ve honestly been so addicted to reading your posts in the last week since I discovered you that I’m probably already caught up on all of your past ones too, haha. I love that your recipes are so simple, creative, & absolutely delicious. I’ve loved the few that I’ve already tried & have a growing list of ones I can’t wait to try. I tend to get stuck in the habit of eating the same things all the time, but now I feel like I can finally add some variety without straying from eating pure, natural foods. I also feel like I can completely relate to you in that I love to workout & struggle with keeping my calorie intake high enough to not lose weight so basically, I LOVE your blog!! Thank you for taking the time to share your awesome ideas, I look forward to reading every day :O)

Hi Katie!
I stumbled on your website and yesterday and it will immediately became one of my regulars! I’ve always wanted to try going vegan for a week and your blog gave me the perfect amount of inspiration…your recipes look amazing and accessible. Thanks for sharing with everyone…you seem so genuine and cheery and its a true pleasure to read. I’m a big runner, too, and your fudge babies will be my favorite pre/post run snack 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hi Jess! I’m so glad you found me! So nice to hear from another runner. But watch out for the fudge babies… they are addictive little things! 😉

Just wondering what camera you use and what you use for photoshop?
All your pictures are so pretty! 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hi Lisa!
Thanks so much for the sweet comment… I’m trying, but I really need to get better at working my camera! I just recently stopped using the automatic mode. Anyways, I have a Nikon.
For photoshop… well the very first thing I do when I open a photo in photoshop is to crop it. After that, I go to image, then adjustments, then “selective color.” I love playing with the selective color because it only changes the color of one particular aspect of the photo (as opposed to “color balance”, which changes the whole photo). I always make the whites have less black. And usually I go to brightness/contrast and add brightness too!
After that, I often blur the background, using the blur tool.
I kinda just play around.

Thank you for the recipes. My daughter and I can’t wait to try them and the pictures look great. I am really impressed with what you have started here and think it is wonderful that you are already into healthy nutrition. It took me 40 years.
Keep up the creativity and thanks for sharing! Sonja ❤

Thank you for such a great site and giving me the courage to use Almond Breeze to make alfredo sauce (while I didn’t follow your recipe, spur of the moment cooking…). My version turned out just fine. I’m looking forward to trying some of your oatmeal recipes…I love oatmeal.
Thanks again and keep the wonderful sounding stuff coming.

This blog gave me the confidence to start my own! I had to work to keep a steady weight while making the transition to veganism. All of your recipes are so creative and energy-filled, where do you find inspiration?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Awwww thank you!
And lol I get inspiration from the weirdest places… I’ve even gotten inspiration from Baskin Robbins before. Or magazines, grocery stores… I’ll look at candy flavors or ice cream flavors and say, “Hmmm, now what ELSE can I use that flavor for?” 😉

I love your website, I only discovered it yesterday but I have been reading through and drooling at all your recipes! You are so right about enjoying life and enjoying the things you love in a healthy way, that’s my philosophy too. I have one obstacle that stops me from making some of your recipes though, none of the supermarkets in my town sell coconut butter/oil (I live in Italy).:( I need to find a shop that’s NOT Italian produce-centric, that or wait til the summer when I can go home and buy what I need. I can’t wait to make that chocolate fudge cake, it looks amazing. Definitely an incentive to bake more.

Hi! I love your blog and have tried a lot of your recipes–you are truly a whiz in the kitchen! As far as your quest to gaining weight goes, have you considered lifting weights (heavy if possible) in order to put on some lean muscle mass? 🙂 Running is great, but definitely depletes your muscles.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hey Alexis!
I do lift weights… but I hate it :(. I wish I could be one of those people who loves weight-lifting! Basically, I force myself to do it 2-3 times a week (usually 2 because I am lazy!), and I focus especially on my arms. It’s helped a little! I use ten-pound dumbbells.

Just tried my first taste of Artisans Raw Coconut Butter and I’m in heaven. Kudos to you for such a wonderful site! BC

I remember when I first tasted the coconut butter… lol I thought it was going to be boring. My mom was like, “You have to try this!” And I didn’t believe her.
I need to learn, Mother always knows best! 😉

Katie, The thing that keeps me coming back to your blog is the fact that you’re very upbeat and you also cater to those who’re watching their weight—or just want lower calorie options– even though you dont need to. I think that that’s so kind of you and just awesomesauce 😀

Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Aw thanks, Jae! I do know that people reading my blog have all sorts of dietary preferences… I have to remember to tag my posts as gluten-free, soy-free, etc. Recipes are so easily adaptable to different diets, though. Especially low/high-calorie. Just by changing up the type of milk you use or the amount of fat added, you can make it as high or low-cal as you want! 🙂

I just found your blog and am really excited to try some of your recipies. I’ve been browsing for the last hour and have found so many recipies I want to try, especially some oatmeal and Larabars recipes. I love cold oats!!! And of course Jocolate Larabars, yum. I do eat healthy most of the time but do love healthy/naughty food too. ~Leslie

hi Katie!
just wanted to let you l know how much of an inspiration you are to me. I am recently recovered from an eating disorder and have just started reading your blog. i love all your recipies (especailly your chocolate chip blondies and carot cake shake! yummm 🙂 you have helped me in my journey to redisccovering that food, fitness and a healthy lifestyle can be fun. as i have recently taken up yoga, running and veganism. i fee like being vegan makes me much more conscious of my food choices and proper nutrition. anyway i was wondering if you have any tips for beginning bloggers?
thanks so muchh

Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hey O.c.
Your comment made me smile so much! I’m actually in the process of writing a post with blogging tips. But here are some quick tips off the top of my head: I think the BIGGEST thing you can do is comment, comment, comment on other blogs. Don’t just comment once on a particular blog; keep on commenting. It might take a while, but soon the blogger (and other commenters) will keep seeing your name pop up and start to remember you.
I commented a lot on other blogs when I first started out. If you’re just starting out, that’s a good way to get your name out there. Otherwise, no one will know your blog exists.
Also, twitter! I dragged my feet and didn’t get a twitter account until about 3 months ago, but it helped me find a LOT more friends!
Good luck!! 🙂

Hey!
I just wanted to let you know that I LOVE your website. I also want you to know that it has helped me tremendously. I am not a vegan by any means, but I have an incredible sweet tooth. This sweet tooth has led to periods of binge eating (and sadly, purging as well) and feelings of guilt, lack of control, and basically misery. I know that probably sounds overly dramatic, but to one with a food addiction, it is a vicious cycle that is difficult to break free of. Anyway, since finding your blog, I have found ways to satisfy these cravings in a more healthy way, which does not lead to guilt or remorse. I just had a post workout bowl of peanut butter chocolate oatmeal 🙂 and no crazy feelings of wanting to binge. I feel more connected to the food, since I am preparing and therefore I guess maybe I appreciate it and can really enjoy it. Plus, it’s more filling and filled with awesome ingredients, so I respect the food more (I know that probably sounds so silly, but it totally makes sense to me ;). And by the way, my almost 2 year old, who is probably THE pickiest eater in my house loves your snicker doodle blondies. I can’t wait to try more of your recipes!
Thanks for being awesome!

Anyway, since finding your blog, I have found ways to satisfy these cravings in a more healthy way, which does not lead to guilt or remorse. I just had a post workout bowl of peanut butter chocolate oatmeal 🙂 and no crazy feelings of wanting to binge. I feel more connected to the food, since I am preparing and therefore I guess maybe I appreciate it and can really enjoy it. Plus, it’s more filling and filled with awesome ingredients, so I respect the food more (I know that probably sounds so silly, but it totally makes sense to me ;). And by the way, my almost 2 year old, who is probably THE pickiest eater in my house loves your snicker doodle blondies. I can’t wait to try more of your recipes!
Thanks for being awesome!

Katie,
I worked on some homemade Larabars last night, and wrote a note about it on Facebook; at the end I posted a comment about your blog, as well as the photo of your original Fudge Babies, and I included a link. I didn’t re-post your recipes, because I want them to come here, and I wanted to let you know I’m determined to have every one of my friends become as hopelessly addicted to your Fudge Babies AND your site as I am. =)

I just read your About Me, and some of your recipes. Firstly, I am sorry people have left you rude/ mean comments, because you seem like a wonderful person who has a healthy outlook on life & eating. It is so refreshing to read about your love for food, when these days so many women are overly obsessed with calorie counting. There is no doubt in my mind that women are jealous that you do not have to work that hard to maintain a thin physique.
I can’t wait to try some of these delicious sounding recipes! Keep it up home girl, I am definitely a fan 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Thanks, Molly, for SUCH a sweet comment!! I am so happy you found my blog; your kind words put a big smile on my face :).

Saskia says
hey katie!
I thought today I’m gonna speak up to you and leave my first comment.
i’m from austria and slowly switching from vegetarian to more and more vegan. i don’t miss a thing when eating vegan, but it’s my family and friends who make some difficulties when it comes to this.(long story, don’t wanna bore you;))
First I really have to tell you how incredibly great your blog is. it’s beautifully organised, features awesome recipes and you yourself seem very very likeable!:)
i also totally know the quest of gaining weight in order to stop people making negative and rude comments about your weight, cuz i experienced this myself and still do.
it’s good to know i’m not alone out there!:)
anyway, i just wanted to say hi and congratulate you to your fabulous blog! 🙂
i also started a small blog, just for fun and to collect my recipes. it’s mostly written in german but I just started to post in english, so if you like, take a look(and don’t blame me for my blog-baby being too small, it’s just slowly growing:))
sending you my best wishes from austria,
saskia:)
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hi Saskia!
I’m so excited to hear from someone all the way in Austria! I’ve never been there, but I’d love to go someday… maybe I could meet up with you and we could eat vegan chocolate bars all day ;).
Saskia says
awww i’d love to! 🙂
austria is pretty great, and it gets more vegan-compatible every day!:)
great to see they offer tofu-snacks and even “vegan salads” with lenils etc. at the sub-station!;)

Hey Katie 😀
I just wanna say how much I LOVE your blog and how much its helped me! 🙂 I’ve been dealing with Anorexia Binge Purge Subtype (which was REALLY horrible because I LOVE food and cooking 🙁 ) but have been slowly over-coming it 🙂 I’ve became a Veggie (mainly because I love animals,Woop!) and I really wanted a healthier lifestyle for myself. I just wanted you to know that your blog has opened me up to a new world of healthy but DELICOUS food that I can enjoy and not feel guilty about eating 😀 Its been hard being a 15 year-old Veggie and my Mum (Yea, I’m English :P) hasn’t been the most supportive of people but I know I don’t really know you but it feels like your kinda my second-Vegan Mum 😀 I love your views on life and food and NEVER want you to stop writing! 🙂 Lots of Love from London 😀 x P.S sorry for my rambling 😛
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Wow! Thanks for such an awesome-sweet-adorable comment! Filled with smileys (my favorite!). And also, people from London are the kindest, most wonderful people in the world! True fact.

Wow! I love your blog and all the delicious recipes. But…and I say this with love, you are very skinny! If you are that skinny naturally, then great! But if you aren’t, I beg you to eat some more. If you eat all these yummy foods you will still be healthy. Just do what’s right for you, and eat more cookies! (:

Hi Katie, As I’m sure you can tell by all of my recent posts on your blog that I LOVE all of your delicious recipes. I think you are super cute and beautiful! It saddens me to read some of the negative and accusatory comments some readers post on your blog 🙁 You deal with them graciously and seem to take it all in stride. Please don’t let the negative comments bother you as I get the feeling others are jealous that you are naturally healthy and thin. Some think you are too thin but you are clearly at a healthy weight for your body, even your doctor agrees 🙂 I think it’s great that you strive to eat healthy foods and exercise because you love it. I also think it’s great that even though you are naturally thin you don’t use that as an excuse to eat junk food and processed crap all the time just because you can. I find your blog very uplifting and it motivates me to continue living as healthy a lifestyle as I can. PS I love all of you healthified desserts!!! Keep the great recipes coming! ~Leslie
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Aww thank you so much, Leslie!

Rebekah Strachan says
Katie, thanks to YOU, I spoke to my parents tonight and told them I’ve decided to become vegetarian and eventually am intending on introducing the vegan lifestyle!
Additionally, I am becoming a scientist in the kitchen! I made your fudge tonight (and am currently eating it!) and made little alterations to fit my cravings (hello peanut butter, frozen berries and vanilla!).
To top it all off, I went to the grocery store today and purchased wholefood products!
I’m so excited to start on this journey!!!!
Thankyou for your inspiration!!!!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Wow, I don’t even know what to say! Your comment just made me smile so so much… and I’m excited for your journey too! I think you definitely have the right idea to go vegetarian first. That’s how I did it too, and I only moved to veganism after getting comfortable with the vegetarian lifestyle for a year first. It’s a HUGE change! You’re awesome :)!
Rebekah Strachan says
Thanks for your imput!
Any tips on telling people you’re vegetarian? I’m not sure how my friends will take it!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I guess it depends on your friends… I don’t know them, so I can’t tell you how to tell them! But if you want them to see that your not going to be deprived in your new lifestyle, come equipped with AMAZING treats to share that you can eat too :). That way, they’ll think, “Maybe her new diet isn’t so strange after all!”

Katie-
I’ve made “inspired-by” versions of your recipes for a while, but I am going to be leaning on you quite a bit in the future: I’m working out a diet for newly-diagnosed GI issues, and one near-future restriction I’m sure of it a very low-fat diet! So…thank you for all of the low-fat and fat-free versions of tasty, delicious things! Now, I just need to get off this elimination diet to enjoy some deliciousness! 🙂
Thank you!!

Dessert sure has changed at our household since I found your blog. My fruit and veggie hating toddler is currently eating some peanut butter “fudge” and yesterday he was eating some “fudge babies.” I am so happy to find new ways to sneak in some healthy foods for him. Not to mention that this is going to help my waistline…

Very nice blog, Katie!
I hope you keep up the good work – seems a lot of people are like me, and generally fancy a place that collects useful information (irregardless of subject). The post from the “veggie-hating-toddler-mom” above is indeed a sentiment towards the quality of what you are doing!
I might drop you an e-mail. Or simply subscribe here. Either how, you seem interesting.

I really like your blog and recipes and I’ve added it to my Google reader.
I can’t be silent about one thing, though: you look ill. I used to have anorexia nervosa and have met other people with anorexia and with orthorexia nervosa, and I can tell when people are underweight. Your hands and head size paint a stark contrast to your painfully thin arms and torso.
Maybe you have a problem, maybe you don’t. I don’t know you and have never seen you in real life. But I beg you to get checked by a doctor and/or psychiatrist.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Meg,
Please read this post: https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2008/07/10/hello-from-ccv/
And please think about how hurtful it would be for a person who does not have an eating disorder to be on the receiving end of a comment such as yours.

Hey Katie!
I was wondering if you were taking any supplements, like, any additional B12?
I am considering to might get me some, but don’t really know what exactly..

Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I do take an omega 3 supplement, but not b12. But I make sure to get enough b12 with fortified foods such as nutritional yeast, energy bars, and almond milk.
saskia says
I may sound stupid, but is there no veg.food that contains omega 3? And thanks for answering me:)
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
There are, and I eat them. But I like to be on the safe side just in case :).

I just had to say how much I love your blog and recipes! I stumbled upon your blog while searching out diy recipes for Larabars and lo and behold your fudge babies! Totally in love by far my favorite is the Girl Scout cookie version of the caramel delight sooooooo freaking yummy! I so far have made quite a few of your recipes, the chocolate chip cookie oatmeal cake = AWESOMENESS!! I love how I can make naughty treats and still be healthy. The blondies are also super awesomeness, I can’t wait for the post on the peanut butter and jelly one’s. No one knows they are made with beans and I don’t plan on telling. Sneaking in healthy treats with my family is always a plus, especially when they are none the wiser!! Keep the yummy recipes coming!!! 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Thank you, Anita! I’m trying to work on new Larabar recipes… honestly I forgot about making new ones because I get caught up with making the older ones over and over! 🙂

Hey Katie-girl!
I am enjoying your recipes and the way you think about food.
A request? I’d love to see the fiber content included in the nutritional information going forward. I always note my fiber intake, and since you do the other recipe math, I thought maybe you could toss this number in for us too?
Glad to hear you are planning to keep up your blog. As a new reader, I would be disappointed to see it end.
Hope
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hi Hope!
All of my recipes are going to be higher in fiber than traditional recipes due to the fact that I ONLY use 100% whole grains. I really don’t like posting numbers (because I believe food is so much more than a number), so even providing the basic nutritional info for some of my recipes is more than I’d really like to be doing. I do it because I know the numbers are important to others. But I just list the basics… I promise to try and remember to include fiber in the future if a recipe is especially high in fiber :).

Hi – I just joined your following! I haven’t completely dug through all your postings yet but was wondering if you had a “pantry staple” or “grocery store staple” list posted anywhere…. Just skimming through some of your recipes, I never seem to have all ingredients on hand.
Thanks and I am looking forward to trying out some of your recipes!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hey Erin!
I am working on one, but it sadly isn’t finished yet. I try to use very basic ingredients (i.e. not so many hard-to-find flours or obscure ingredients) because I hate starting a recipe and finding out you don’t have all the ingredients! For baking, some of the things I have on hand:
1. baking soda
2. baking powder
3. salt
4. nondairy milk (I like Silk unsweetened)
5. cocoa powder (I use Hershey’s or Dagoba)
6. oats (I like Quaker or Old Wessex Irish)
And a lot (but not all) of my recipes also call for: ww pastry flour or spelt flour, bananas, nut butter, unrefined coconut oil (I’ll use any brand that’s cheapest), Artisana coconut butter, and the fudge babies call for dates. For the dates, I use SunMaid, and my favorite pb is WholeFoods 365.
🙂

Your blog freaked me out! haha Actually after reading it I love it, but when I googled “Chocolate Covered” and “Chocolate Covered Katie” popped up…. I was reluctant to click on it. I had to think back if there was ever a time that I might have been covered in chocolate. I’m glad I clicked. Your blog is very enjoyable and I will spread the word.

I always think it’s so funny that a vegan blog comes up when people search for chocolate covered bacon. I also love looking at my search stats, because people search for all sorts of fun stuff and end up finding me: chocolate covered bees, chocolate covered eggplant, chocolate covered grasshoppers… 🙂

I’m not sure where to ask this, but… do you have any recipes like clif bars? The list of ingredients on the label was so long… and it’s pretty sugar-y. But clif bars provide a good amount of energy from protein and healthy carbs and are a perfect on the go snack. I’d love a recipe recommendation!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
LOL I *just* started playing around with a recipe! I am actually very close (maybe next month?) to posting a Luna Bar recipe, but not yet Clif. Today, I’m actually posting a chocolate Larabar recipe. I think I remember seeing a homemade clif bar recipe online once, though. So I’d try googling “homemade clif bars” and see if it comes up :).

I’m not sure where to ask this, but… do you have any recipes like clif bars? The list of ingredients on the label was so long… and it’s pretty sugar-y. But clif bars provide a good amount of energy from protein and healthy carbs and are a perfect on the go snack. I’d love a recipe recommendation!

I have started eating wheat-free foods for health purposes, and I was worried I wouldn’t get to have the things I love most…all things chocolate! I just found your site last night and could hardly go to bed because I had so much fun looking at all the good things that you have posted that are wheat-free and chocolately! Thank you so much for your creativity that you share with us chocoholics and for making me feel like eating wheat-free can be fun and a cooking adventure. Blessings!

Hi, Katie!
I posted a post the other day but I cant find it 🙁 But anyway… I really love your blogs and I cant help but wonder how do you keep your hair so shiny!!! Whats your secret besides healthy eating? Hehe… anyway. I notice that you have all these amazing recipe ideas which I will DEF be using one day and I noticed that you dont have a pie recipe! Also, I want to know if you have any idea in which I can make a n oatmeal crust? :S But anyway.. I love your blog and I know you heard this many times but you are a great inspiration to me. I used to freak out about what I eat sometimes and many times my mother would tell me that life is too short and I should just enjoy it while I can ( the healthy way of course) and I saw that you said the exact same thing. Of course I rarely have any cravings as I dont have much of a sweet tooth but when I did.. I always ignored it :/ But this weekend im going to try one of your cookies recipe -if im in the cookie mood- as they are my favorites! Anyway… I hope I made sense… I tend to talk in circles lol. Thanks a lot! Wait… you said you have a pre-run snack… Do you eat right BEFORE you run. I tried eating a small snack before but it makes me feel like throwing up while I’m running >.<
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hi Janice,
You probably left a comment when I was switching servers. I lost a lot of comments in the move. Sorry about that. Thank you so much for the hair compliment!!! Here’s a post I wrote about my hair: https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2011/03/23/do-you-want-shiny-and-healthy-hair/
LOL I actually don’t like pie crust, which is why I don’t have a crust recipe. Maybe someday I will have to create one, though! I eat a piece of fruit (a favorite is a 1/2 grapefruit, but it changes) and a handful of nuts about 10-15 minutes pre-run. But that’s just what works for me. I know a lot of other people like the pb-banana thing… you just have to experiment :).

Hey Katie! I’ve read your blog before, but saw your post on ELR and those pancakes look INCREDIBLE! Definitely the next batch I try making. I’m always looking for fun single serving recipes and I get all whacked out if I eat too much sugar, so these are perfect.
Also – totally admire you for trying the blogging for a living thing. A dream of mine too!

Hi Katie! I just saw your guest post on EatLiveRun and those blueberry pancakes look to die for. Pancakes are, and have always been, my favorite thing in the world. I make them for dinner all the time…like last night I made banana pancakes, but I think I will be having them again tonight because I MUST try the blueberry pie!!!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hey Brittany! It’s so nice to “meet” another pancake lover… I don’t think I’ve ever had pancakes for dinner. Now I really want to!

Ooh I hope you like it! Be sure to use coconut butter… some people use the oil option and like it, but I really think it’d be MUCH better with coconut butter :).

Hi Katie, I recently across your blog. You really have some amazing looking recipes and I will be following you regularly 🙂 I haven’t tried any yet, but the spinach ice cream and oatmeal bakes are on the top of my list when I get a chance.
I’ve just started running recently and love it. I have a new blog about my running goals and will soon be adding recipes too. I hope this doens’t sound like shameless spam, but since you are a runner I wanted to mention my new blog, and I would love some support and followers.

Katie, I was wondering what kind of chocolate chips you use, when you call for them. Are they the regular ones like Hersheys, or something from the health food store?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hi Candy!
I’ll buy whatever vegan brand is cheapest, usually. Many brands of chocolate chips are vegan, including: Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet (the ones in the gold package), Enjoy Life, Whole Foods brand, Sunspire, some generic brands, Divvies, etc. Or, I sometimes even use Ghirardelli 100% baking discs or broken up chocolate bars (in different flavors), just for fun.

I brought your chocolate chip cookie dough dip to an employee potluck at the Terror Tram, an attraction in Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights. It was the most popular dish in the whole potluck. Everyone was talking about it. Nobody would ever have guessed they were eating hummus… basically. I served it with apple slices and graham crackers, for people to pile it on. One man who did learn that it was “healthy” wants the recipe for his son, who has multiple food allergies. Another woman whose daughter has an autoimmune disease was thrilled to find a dessert her daughter could actually eat without triggering a flare of her illness. And my daughters and I loved it because we are vegan health nuts, and after my cancer and my daughter’s Lupus and Crohn’s Disease diagnoses, we are being extremely careful to avoid toxic foods. I can’t wait to try some of the other recipes here. Thanks so much for sharing them. Wonderful!! You are making many lives better … and perhaps longer.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Wow, Sue, I am SO excited that you made it for them… and even more excited that everyone liked it! I can’t tell you how much it means to me that you’re spreading the word (by showing people) that healthy food can taste good.

Yes, it’s great that people love hearing that it’s vegan and healthy. I forgot to mention that my daughter Lisa Molenda actually made the cookie dough while I got ready for work. She makes up delicious vegan desserts and meals, too, but she is in awe of yours. Her vegetarian/anti-dairy sisters and I love your website, too. (We were vegan for years, but now we sometimes eat infertile, organic, free range eggs). You are SO creative. Great stuff!!

Hi Katie, I started looking at your blog earlier this year as I started to move my diet towards a more ‘paleo/caveman’ diet and someone (who also sticks to paleo diet) recommended to me the fudge babies. I first tried the diet to see if it made me feel better and it does (re energy, mood etc) so I decided to stick to it as a lifestyle choice (not just a fad). The fudge babies are absolutely AMAZING and I also tried the cookie dough ones which are awesome. I can actually just keep a stock of the fudge babies on hand for my chocy cravings and don’t get sick of them! and even people not doing paleo love them. I love the recipes of yours that I’ve tried and excited to keep trying more! Some of the recipes I tailor slightly to make them more paleo – essentially just subbing any grain flours for almond or coconut flour. Usually i don’t have to change much though as they pretty much are paleo anyway. Having your recipes to refer to so easily from the blog makes a big difference for me as I find the diet isn’t challenging and I can have fun with it as I do have a massive sweet tooth for desserts (not necessarily sugar but something a little desserty after dinner). I really like showing the recipes off to people who think they can’t eat ‘healthy’ and have desserts 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Aww thanks, Linda! I am so honored you like the recipes!! 🙂

Hi!
I am new on this blog, and I love you already!
I am a vegan (due to allergies, family health history, and love of animals), a total health nut, exercise fan, and horse/dog crazy person! I feel your pain when it comes to thinness; I was an anorexic, so during my recovery stage, people would be critisizing how thin I was (THAT did not help me AT ALL…..I am much better, but still health-concious).
Your recipes look really fab! I have yet to try one. Question: how many calories are in a tablespoon of coconut oil? And when you say T, is that a tablespoon or a teaspoon?
Love love LOVE YOU!!!!
—Kit-Kat (my real name is Katie, I just go by my nick-name)
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hi Katie!!! So nice to hear from another Katie/Kate 🙂 :). Yes, a T is my lazy way of saying “tablespoon.” For teaspoon, I’ll say “tsp.” And there are around 100-120 calories in a tablespoon of oil. I think that’s the same for any oil. (I could be wrong, though.)

I mean, i LOVE almost anything sweet, especially if it’s chocolate. I was excited to find your blog because I’ve been trying my darndest to not listen to my sweet tooth very much considering I’m not the thinnest person ever and I am having a little trouble weight wise but your blog got me thinking that maybe I can have my dessert and eat it too!

I tried the sugar free version of your cookie dough dip yesterday. I have to say that I am so impressed with it! It really does taste GOOD! I had gastric bypass a year and a half ago and I can’t have very much sugar. This is a terrible thing for someone with a huge sweet tooth. The high protein and low sugar versions of your recipes are perfect for someone that has had weight loss surgery. Thank you! I am going to try some other ones this week!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I’m so excited you liked it! I think I need to do a sugar-free version of the brownie batter dip soon…

Hi Katie — Not sure how I found you but I’ve really loved reading about you and your delicious recipes. I even posted one on my own blog and everyone seems to love it (I did give you credit so hopefully you’ll get some new followers out of it!). This blog thing still confounds me at times and I’m so impressed with what you’ve achieved.
Keep up the great cooking! My niece would not eat a veggie if it literally jumped into her mouth but yet, she scarfs down your “cookie dough” dip. My sister was so excited and eager to make the recipe that she’s debating putting it in a sandwich and sending it with her to school!
Delish!

Hi Katie,
Just found your site. I am cooking treats for someone with pancreatitis who CANNOT eat fat and you have great recipes. I’ve tried the banana bread (in the oven as we speak). Smells GREAT. I added extra cinnamon and used the pure banana version, with dried apricots and golden raisins for “chew”. Can’t wait to share a slice of her gift loaf (I’ll stay for tea.)
Thanks for doing this. Lisa

I found your blog through Pinterest! (My new addiction) Wanted to say that I LOve your blog. What I really like about the recipes is that the cookies don’t make 3 or 4 dozen. (I am known to eat an entire tray *yikes*) and with these recipes I get to feed the craving without feeding the crazy sugar monster.
My bestest to you!

I am new to your blog and must say – I AM IN LOVE! This is just an ideal site for me! You have it put together so beautifully and it is very easy to follow. I am running out to buy the ingredients for Chocolate Bar Pie now. As I was listing the ingredients out I had a thought:
Why not create a page of all of your favorite ingredients – with brands? I know you have suggestions within some recipes, but why not a list on a single page? So when you say “1 TBSP of Nut Butter” we can go to your ingredients page and see which brands/kinds you suggest?
I’m a HUGE supporter. Thank you for your everything you are doing. I’m VERY excited!!!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Aw, thanks, Mary!
I’ve been working (on and off) on such a page… but it’s so complicated because I like so many random products! Hopefully I will get it up someday!

Have u ever had arctic zero? I’m trying to recreate it with or without the protein. I think u would be e person to help me. I have tried
Xanthum gum and guar gum. If u haven’t had it you should try it and en help me out with some suggestions. Thanks!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Sorry, I’ve never had it so I have no idea what it tastes like!
leah newmark says
you should totally try it! I think you would LOVE it. Mint choc is the best flavor and tastes like a girl scout thin mint cookie. Plus, seasonally they have pumpkin which is also good. Im addicted! 150 calories per pint!

I came across this site on Pinterest, and I am IN LOVE with it!!! I have just become a vegan this past summer in an effort to be healthier. I have been researching JuicePlus lately, and I was wondering if this is a product you would recommend or know anything about. Thanks so much! I can’t wait to try some of these delicious-looking recipes!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Sorry, I’d never even heard of it until your comment. But I’m so glad you found me… it’s always nice to know another vegan :). Good luck!!

Thank you & God bless! You’re website is inspirational because I’m spending my 37th year transitioning into a vegan lifestyle. I have no support from my family in my decision & I look forward to your enthusiasm for being vegan veryday. I truly appreciate you.

Everything i’ve tried so far (skinny snickerdoodles, hot apple crumble bars, fudge, and Chocolate Fudge Pie) has been DELICIOUS, and no-one realised how healthy the things I shared were! I have passed your website along to some friends who are also very excited about trying some recipes =)
THANKYOU once again for your amazing blog

Katie,
My fitness class I belong to challenged us to do a “No Sweets November” meaning pastries, cake, cookies, donuts, etc. I have known about your site for awhile so I knew I would be fine because I can have my cake (or fudge babies…my favorite!) and eat them too. So when some of the other ladies were stressed about giving up the good stuff in life I introduced them to your site. I know that not all your recipes are sugar free, but lots are, so now we are happy and satisfied, but still accomplishing our challenge! My question is about agave, I know that it is a sugar substitute and totally natural, which I love, but when it processes in the body how does it compare with sugars? And would I technically be “cheating” if I was eating “sweets” containing it?
Thanks for making this month manageable!
Martina
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hey girl!
Thank you SO much for telling people about my site; it means the WORLD to me!
As for the agave question, I’m sorry to say I don’t really know… I do know that some people like it because it’s lower on the glycemic index than regular sugar so it doesn’t cause blood sugar spikes as much… but lol really I do not know ANYthing about the glycemix index or how it works! (Maybe google search “agave and glycemix index” to get more accurate info?) I do know that maple syrup and blackstrap molasses are also good alternatives to sugar because both have nutrients (vitamins, iron). And I try to list stevia as an option whenever possible in the recipes. (I like NuNaturals stevia packets or vanilla alcohol-free drops.)

Susan W. says
Hey, Katie. I’ve been following your blog for a couple weeks and so far I haven’t found a recipe I haven’t liked. Your Pumpkin bread in a bowl is awesome! I have used several different cereals and all work. I also made the Snickerdoodle Oatmeal (yummy!) but changed it with some egg free “egg nog”. Holiday in a bowl! Have you thought about writing a cookbook with all these recipes? Bet it would be a hit!
I have a friend who struggles to keep her weight above 100 pounds and she’s not anorexic or anything. She has a heart condition and has had a pacemaker since she was 18 years old, she’s now in her 50’s. I’m going to be copying your recipes for her (she doesn’t have internet, stupid husband issue!) so she can have quick healthy snacks anytime of the day. Beats the high fat/sugar stuff her doctor wants her to eat! Thanks for such a great blog!!!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
You are such a sweet friend, Susan!
And yes, there are definitely plans for a cookbook someday!! 🙂
Susan W. says
I just made your Raw Chocolate Fudge Cake. YUMMY! I used coconut butter but am thinking about using almond butter next.

How about some dessert shot recipes? Love to see what you could do with them. Great blog!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I’m thinking my Chocolate Bar Pie recipe would do really well in shot glasses!
Oh, and speaking of shots… someone told me there’s such a thing as chocolate-raspberry vodka… and it’s vegan! I have been on the lookout!

Hi Katie,
thanks so much for sharing all your recipes! I found your blog yesterday, tried your one minute cake today and will have your chocolate covered voluminous oatmeal tomorrow morning 😉
I’m not vegan and not even vegetarian, so I’m using just regular milk and butter so far, but I’m definitely going to try some vegan versions (usual milk is just much easier to find in a small town here). I just started a diet but found that the suggested meals are based on a lot too much meat (and definetly too less chocolate) so your website came just in time!
As I’m from Germany my name is not really Katie, but Katharina, but still my boyfriend and I just found chocolate covered Katie suits me just perfectly, so we adopted that nickname, hope you don’t mind 😀
keep going on with your blog, it’s just awesome, thanks!

I have a daughter with a milk (whey) allergy and I am so thankful for you and your wonderful recipes. I can’t tell you how good it feels to make your desserts that she loves and is excited about. Not to mention my other daughter loves them and I’ve felt so much healthier since I’m now craving fudge babies for treats instead of the junk I’ve been eating. You are so generous to share all this and I feel so lucky to have access to your brilliance!!! Thank you!!! Please tell me you have a cookbook coming out so I will have the perfect Christmas gift for everyone I know who likes sweets and for my family members who also are always trying to find recipes for my sweet daughter and so I have one for my kitchen – I have so many printed sheets and so many more I want to print and try. Thank you for truly making a difference to me and my fam. 🙂

Aww Libby, your comment was SO sweet and I am so glad you found me! I do have plans for a cookbook… but sadly it’s nowhere near being published yet!

Hey Katie! I’m soooooo in love with your blog right now! I *finally* bought a food processor, and have put lots of your recipes to the test, and everything’s turned out so good! I have like 3 different icings of yours in the fridge right now! I’m gluten intolerant and vegetarian, so I love that your recipes use things that I always have in my kitchen. I never would’ve thought it could be easy or so tasty to be a gluten-free vegetarian. Thaaaaaaaaaaaank you!!!
PS – Your single lady desserts are the bomb dot com… I love not sharing dessert. 🙂

I love your blog, and chocolate!!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hi Annie!
It’s such a good idea… I am running out of time, though, and probably won’t be able to get a post written before Christmas. I really like the jar idea, though. I think my chocolate-chip cookie mix would be really good for jars. I will definitely have to remember this for next year!
I wish Christmas weren’t coming so soon… there are so many posts I’m not going to have time to publish :-?.

woo! I had to comment, and as a perpetual stalker this is big. I’m a mom of three and an insomniac and found your site quite accidentally! after reading so many yummy recipes and really great comments and stories about you I had to jump in. I had a rollercoaster of college and drug addiction before I found my way to solid ground. even though I get slammed whenever I reveal that I’m stuck on methadone after a serious car accident left me nearly paralyzed, all people hear is the methadone and my reasons don’t always matter. in becoming aware of my problems I did alot of studying and found that my brains serotonin levels may never be the same and alot of opiate dependent people substitute chocolate for the opiate because it give us the same effect on our serotonin levels. add the chocolate to the fact that this medicine gives you a sloth like metabolism, and you see my problem. anyways, I am so excited to start trying these recipes and I plan to start implementing dairy free and organic foods into my family’s menu. with three kids I need more energy, and they need to be healthier, I can’t wait to see what happens! thank you so much for all the hard work you put into this!

A friend just gave me the link to your site and so far I love it. I’m a vegetarian and try to be vegan but I love cheese way too much so I look for local growers that I know and buy their cheese (next best thing). Anyway going to try your vegan pb cookies – they look yummy.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I hope you like them! 🙂 🙂

I can’t get the pumpkin bar recipe..can you post it or mail it to me?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bars
(These can be gluten-free!)
■1/2 cup spelt flour (or white flour, oat flour, etc.)
■1 tsp cinnamon
■1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
■1/2 tsp baking powder
■1/4 tsp baking soda
■1/4 tsp salt
■1 egg of choice (flax, chia, I used 1 tsp energ. If necessary, you can omit completely.)
■3 T brown sugar (or agave)
■2 packets NuNaturals stevia (or 2 more T sugar)
■1/2 cup canned pumpkin (or cooked, pureed pumpkin)
■2 T nondairy milk
■2 T oil (coconut oil is really good, but veg oil is fine)
■1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine dry ingredients, then add in wet. Spread into an oiled 8×8 pan and cook for 20 minutes. Note: You can sub agave for the sugar; they’ll just be fluffier/cake-ier.
Let the pan cool for at least ten minutes before cutting or frosting the squares. Also, the flavors seem to intensify and these taste even sweeter the next day.

Thank you Katie for making these recipes and posting them! I have a 1 yr old who is allergic to milk, eggs, and peanuts. It has been hard to find foods that he will eat. I am finding more sites like yours but I just wanted to thank you! I can’t wait to try some of these desserts, especially the milkshake! He sees his brother eating one and he wants it so it will be nice to see what he does when he actually gets it! Again, THANK YOU!!!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Aww thank YOU for such a sweet comment, Amy! 🙂
I really hope he likes the milkshakes… as someone who has a close-in-age sibling, I can’t even imagine how hard it must be for him to see his brother get to enjoy something he can’t have!

An idea for the week of Valentines Day…desserts for one or two!
I have made your single serve muffin…oh 5 times in 2 weeks? Just wish you can an icing for the single lady cupcake that didn’t need a food processor until i find one to buy that is small and has good reviews. A muffin shouldn’t have icing but a cupcake? Well it DEMANDS icing. (Umm these are obviously only my rules!)
Thanks Katie for your gorgeous recipes 😀
Andrea says
If you’re looking for a good mini food processor, I have the kitchen aid chef’s chopper! It’s super small, so sometimes i have to split things into 2 batches, but that’s pretty rare, and it’s only $40! It’s super portable, I share it with my friends all the time, and it’s pretty light. It’s strong enough that’s I’ve even been able to make crushed ice with it. (Plus- it’s really cute, mine’s bright red!!) The one really annoying feature is that you have to hold down the button when it’s going, you can’t just turn it on and walk away (like you would with a blender) and that drives me crazy sometimes! Sorry Katie– I hope you don’t mind me posting a response to her comment!! 🙂
Pat says
I have one also and absolutely love it. But I must agree that it is annoying that you have to hold down the button.

I think your sight is great, the recipes are fantastic! I was just wondering and I’m sure others have wondered too but do you suffer from an eating disorder? Don’t hate on me just hear me out, i think your beautiful so i just wonder about all your self control. I know what an eating disorder looks like, you have the knobby fingers, the almost grossly sinewy arms is that why you never post full body images? I do love the website, your gorgeous and a great inspiration.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Please see my FAQ page. No, I do not have an eating disorder.

Katie, I recently discovered your blog and I must say…I think I’m on your website more than facebook and my schools website and pretty much everything but pinterest..but when I’m on pinterest of course I’m browsing your recipes again haha. It’s addictive!! I really appreciate all these healthy options for desserts and non desserts that are low calorie but still freakin delicious!
Ive already made cookie dough dip, healthy chocolate chip cookies, deep dish cookie pie, brownie batter dip, and the brownie batter pancakes, which for some reason didnt turn out but was still tasty haha. Today I plan on making the fudge daddies if I have time 🙂
Dont stop doing what you do!!
Also, I know it might be a hassle, but I do appreciate the nutritional information, especially when I’m cooking for other people who have important nutritional guidelines, so if you could try to keep doing that I would love it 🙂
keeping adding the desserts, but I also love the non dessert recipes!!

Katie, I saw you on News 8 this evening and was blown away that all the people that tried your recipe, loved it and couldn’t believe it was healthy! I can’t wait to try some of your recipes as well. I read a few of comments that people left and was shocked that anyone could or would leave a message like that! Katie, just try to ignore them and pray for them. They evidently have a problem and that makes them feel better, by saying hurtful things about others. I saw you on TV (your WHOLE body) and you looked really cute and I’d love to have your shape! I just had to speak up and say something (positive). Keep up your good work and thanks for all you do!!

I found your website on Pinterest. I love it! I have not always been a “health nut” but I am definitely trying to make healthier choices. I have tried several of your recipes, I especially love the baked oatmeals. I make several at a time and keep them in the fridge and just pop them in the microwave when I am ready to eat! Love them!!!! Looking forward to many more of your recipes…….have a great day!!!

Katie,
I am very excited that i have found your website…. a friend had a link to one of your recipes posted on her facebook page. I have a 5 month old that is allergic to milk and eggs, and as long as i want to continue to breastfeed i need to cut those foods out of my diet. This was a huge challege to me, for i lived on cheese and milk. I have to say, not only have i lost weight by eliminating these foods from my diet, but i feel better. I am enjoying your recipes, for i was truly getting tired of eating potatoes, rice and chicken all the time. I am not sure what inspired you to share all of your recipes and ideas, but you have made me excited about food again. I absolutly love the single serving too!!!! Keep up the great work and some of these recipes will be making it into my husband diet too! 🙂
ps.. you have inspired me to start baking again. My current quest is to find a cake recipe so i can make my little guy a birthday cake for his first birthday! 🙂

I love your blog!!!! I wish I could make everything in one day! I really like how all your desserts are healthy and easy to make. I also have tried to gain weight by trying to eat a lot of fattening sugary desserts. It just makes me feel awful and gross, so I love that I can eat these desserts and know that they are nutritional. I recently made the nutella, and it was amazing! I also love all your single lady cupcakes. Don’t ever stop posting!

Oh, I’m so excited about finding this site! Thank you so much for putting together this! I am lactose intolerant and a lot of your desserts… I CAN EAT! :o) Sometimes I give up being “lactose-free” and majorly regret it later w/ a stomach ache. BUUUUT, now I have a newborn that we’ve figured out is lactose-intolerant, also, and he screams if I eat anything w/ lactose in it… so I haven’t had milk product in 5 months. You know how hard that is? Lol! But this blog I can have sweets… YUMMY SWEETS… without hurting either him or me!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! :o) I think you’ve just brought me back from the brink of insanity! Bahaha!! (I’m a chocoholic) Lol! 😉 Thank you!!

Hiya Katie – I had seen some of your recipes on Pinterest before and today I headed over to this, your lovely blog. I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for your recipes because I can’t eat wheat (and don’t eat meat) and from what I can see your recipes seem to be wheat free. I have chronic tum problems and have been on the FODMAPS diet for a while now. It is really hard to find tasty, sweet and healthy treats to fit in with this diet but yours seem just right, and if not (dried fruit) you suggest alternatives like nuts or chocolate which I can eat (triple yay!) along with spelt and oats. A lot of other similar recipes I found have been loaded with sugar (not good). A HUGE thank you! xxxx

Thank you so much, Katie, for the Vegan Whippped Cream recipe. I can’t wait to try it. The desserts sound so delicious – and like you, I am a chocoholic. I gave up sweets for Lent, but on April 8th – – – – watch out! Who needs regular food? I’ll just have dessert for breakfast, lunch and dinner that day – thanks to you!

Hi Katie,
I couldn’t figure out how to send you an email from your blog so I found you on FB. I just wanted to let you know you might want to check out this link…
http://www.damyhealth.com/2012/02/cookie-dough-hummus-5-minute-recipe/
and maybe send her a polite email asking her to give credit where credit is due. I posted a very nice comment “Yum! I love Katie’s recipes too! When I tried this I didn’t love the texture. Maybe more processing next time.” She deleted it right away. I was just trying to drop her a hint.
Anyway, if it were something like spinach ice cream I wouldn’t have thought twice about her claiming it as that’s more common that everyone does, but this recipe is definitely uniquely yours and I thought you should know. Not to mention, she didn’t even really change up the ingredients.
Thanks for all your tasty recipes

http://www.damyhealth.com/2012/02/cookie-dough-hummus-5-minute-recipe/
and maybe send her a polite email asking her to give credit where credit is due. I posted a very nice comment “Yum! I love Katie’s recipes too! When I tried this I didn’t love the texture. Maybe more processing next time.” She deleted it right away. I was just trying to drop her a hint.
Anyway, if it were something like spinach ice cream I wouldn’t have thought twice about her claiming it as that’s more common that everyone does, but this recipe is definitely uniquely yours and I thought you should know. Not to mention, she didn’t even really change up the ingredients.
Thanks for all your tasty recipes
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Wow, that’s incredibly disappointing :(.
Unfortunately, it’s not nearly the first instance of someone blatantly copying my recipe without credit… I find instances like that (or even worse!) every single day. I just can’t figure out why so many people didn’t learn not to plaigarize in kindergarten!
Mary says
Woah, I was just about to tell you the same thing and then I saw someone else noticed it too! I, too, left a comment for the blogger telling her I think it’s sad she went and posted your recipe and pretended it was hers. It said my comment was “awaiting moderation” but of course it never got posted :(.
Isn’t there a way to get this blogger’s site shut down? If she stole your recipe, I wonder how many other bloggers she’s stolen from. Plaigarism is NOT right, and she shouldn’t be allowed to make a living off stealing other peoples’ content.

Hey Katie!
Question– what kind of vegan chocolate chips do you use? What would you recommend? I’ve only ever used regular (not-vegan) chocolate chips before.
Thanks!!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Ghirardelli (gold bag) are really good! I also like Whole Foods mini dark chocolate chunks, Whole Foods vegan (green bag) or Enjoy Life brand.

Hi Katie,
So glad I found this site! I decided to go vegan for 30 days and in the beginning would have thought no way could I do this forever. After educating myself some and seeing this site, there may be hope as I discover more and more delicious food out there – all natural!
Thanks for sharing!!!

I just discovered your blog today, and I’m blown away! I have a huge “sweet tooth” and I don’t believe in giving up dessert, although I am on a quest to become healthier so I can feel better. I’ve been a vegetarian for 2 years now, and I love it so much, but I don’t think I could ever be vegan…Anyway, thank you for this inspiring website. I can’t wait to try your recipes! (:

Hi katie,
I just wanted to say that I am besides myself happy that I found your web site. Thank you for all your time and effort in putting these delicious recipes in writing to share with the world. The only problem I am having is getting just the recipes to print. There is no print key available on your web site and I have to use a lot of (expensive) ink to print the complete recipe pages. Can you offer a solution. Please let me know via my e-mail note above.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Cut and paste into a word document? That’s what I always do with recipes… and that way I can make the font really small so I can fit more recipes on one page and save trees 🙂

Thank you, Katie, for helping me satisfy my sweet tooth without sacrificing healthy eating.

Thank you so much for blogging such low calorie, low fat and for a fellow soy lover, lactous free recipes, with of course lots of chocolate! You should post breakfasts, lunches and deserts. No wonder you keep so skinny, you can have all the chocolate you want and just use better and healthier ingredents. Cause it’s no the chocolate all the time, it’s the other stuff! Thanks.

Hi Katie! I love your blog! I have a question about the deal dish cookie pie. I have made it and it was delicious! I want to make it for a party but I think it would be better in bar form. Do you think the recipe will work in a regular pan? What size do you think?
Thanks!!!

You can definitely do it in a pan! I don’t know what size, though.

Where did you learn to cool/bake? You seem to have mastered the art of “food chemistry” to a tee! I’m a kitchen warrior, in the sense that when I go into the kitchen I feel like I’m going into a war zone–and I usually lose the battle! No matter how many Food Channel shows I watch (particularly those that have to do with baking and sweet treats), I feel I can never quite “get it.” Thank God I found your blog, because now all I have to do is just go there and make those scrumptious things and be happy! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Oh girl, I wish you could spend just one day in the kitchen with me… it would make you feel so much better about your baking skills! 😉
I haven’t mastered it at all! I can’t tell you how many mess ups I usually have before a recipe will be good! My cinnamon rolls (still a work in progress) have gone through at least 8 trials. Really, I’m sick of making cinnamon rolls ;).
Through trial and error, I’ve been able to teach myself a lot (for example, I am now good at knowing how much baking soda, salt, etc. to put in a recipe based on the other ingredients). But I still have a lot of failures! I lose the battle quite often. You’re not alone!

I also think its fantastic that you politely engage with people who throw dangerous claims about you around so as to make perfectly clear the difference between healthy n fit and obsessed. One request – Please please please can you do more tiramisu recipes!

I have Ulceritve Colitis/Crohn’s and Splenda and Stevia seem to bother my system. Agave is okay sometimes but sometimes it changes the flavor just a bit. My solution is Coconut Crystals. I stumbled on them at Whole Foods and did a little more digging and found their site. They also offer Coconut Flour and Coconut Oil and such. I’ve been using lite coconut milk along with my unsweetened Vanilla almond milk for shakes and such. But I’m wondering if you have any experience baking with any of these products? Coconut has all sorts of health benefits and I’ve definitely noticed a positive difference. Here’s the site:

Yes, I’ve definitely worked with them before. I think you can use coconut sugar interchangeably for regular (white) sugar in recipes.
And I’m a huge fan of coconut oil ;).

Hi Katie-
I just wanted to thank you for this amazing blog! I am new to cooking (which I started doing when I decided to start eating more healthy), and every single recipe of yours that I have tried has been amazing! I am not a vegan or vegetarian, but I do have a huge sweet tooth, so I definitely have to watch to make sure I am not eating too much junk-and this website solves those problems for me! Thank you thank you 🙂 I’ve been making your chocolate chip cookie dough dip, and I have to tell you, my most favorite thing to do with it is put a spoonful (or two) in my oatmeal in the morning-chocolate chip cookie dough oatmeal is an amazing thing to wake up to 🙂 Thanks!

Hi Katie ! I am new to your site and I love it! I adore coconut and chocolate and have been striving to make the best healthier desserts for a while. You gave me some great ideas. My husband loved the choc chip cookie boat meal ( added coconut flakes) and the ice cream sandwhich. I kept the volume ice cream w added vegan choc chips for myself and made him the coconut whip cream for a topping.
Today I tried the oatmeal raisin larabars but w golden raisins. Came out great! I topped one half w mini choc chips and the other half w coconut shreds. Yum
Thanks for all the inspiration. I tried the blondies bc I stumbled upon your site looking for socca recipes. They did not come out great but I ate it in the cookie dough form before baking and was in heaven! The. I realized that this is already one of your top reccomendations!
Question- have you ever use soy lecithin or sunflower lechitin in your shakes or smoothies to thicken?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I haven’t. I haven’t even ever seen either of those products. Will have to look! 🙂

Today I tried the oatmeal raisin larabars but w golden raisins. Came out great! I topped one half w mini choc chips and the other half w coconut shreds. Yum
Thanks for all the inspiration. I tried the blondies bc I stumbled upon your site looking for socca recipes. They did not come out great but I ate it in the cookie dough form before baking and was in heaven! The. I realized that this is already one of your top reccomendations!
Question- have you ever use soy lecithin or sunflower lechitin in your shakes or smoothies to thicken?
Katie says
Have you ever made chocolate covered shrimp??
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
No, sorry… all the recipes are vegan, and I never actually liked seafood. Just something about the fishy taste :-?.
Kit-Kat says
Befor I was a vegan (soooo long ago) fish made me sick. I couldn’t keep any seafood down. :-b

Ok, so I stumbled upon your website while trying to find pumpkin brownies (Dr. Oz) and so I saw you had a pinterest. When I went to check it out, I was like HEY I recognize that desert I wanted to try! So I went to my sweets board and it looks like I already had 3 of yours pinned! SMALL world lol!! I just made the Healthy Blondie and it was AMAZING! (I added a little cinnamon applesauce to it and it added SO MUCH to it). Thanks for all your creative creations 🙂

That is so hard to believe! You look sooo young! I have a question about vegan butter, what is it made of and it is less “fatty” than regular butter? Thanks! (btw I am a vegetarian and always have been my whole life, I have never tried meat or fish in my life, so i really appreciate all of your recipes!)
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I’m not sure what you mean by “fatty” but the brands I most-often use are Earth Balance and Smart Balance light. 🙂

Hi there Katie,
I’m a recent subscriber (only the past couple of months) and fellow Texan; I love all your delicious vegan recipes! I was wondering if you could list out some baking staples that you keep on hand to whip up some goodies. Everything you make looks delicious and I want to try and stock up to satisfy my sweet tooth.
Thanks! And keep up the good work! 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I do have a basic list on my FAQ page (under the “recipes” category) https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/faq-page/
… it’s hard to list everything, though, since recipes are so different. Today I was trying to make a lemon bar and was all frustrated I didn’t have lemon extract on hand, so I completely know the annoyance of being in the middle of a recipe and not having ONE ingredient lol.

Your website is amazing and you’ve inspired me to start making more desserts! I am not a vegan or even a vegetarian (I am a teenager and don’t want to make it hard for my parents to cook for me) but I eat very little meat and I try to keep my diet balanced and healthy. About a half a year ago, I was underweight and unhealthy and had to put on some pounds, but now I’m at a healthy weight and a lot more athletic, and so happy about that :). Also, as a result I am a lot more motivated to STAY healthy and active and the recipes on your site are perfect for me. I’ve already tried the chocolate chip cookie dough (yum!) and the ice cream (which even my brother loved – and he hates anything “healthy” tasting!). I don’t do well with either too much sugar or artificial sugar so that’s a plus, too 😉 Anyway, thanks so much, and I can’t wait to see what else you cook up!

Just found your website this weekend and I have to say I love it! I am really excited to try some of these desserts! I am definitely a health junky but I believe that treats in moderation is a good thing! I tried the cookie dough truffles and think they are really tasty. I am looking forward to trying out some more of your recipes within the coming weeks.
Great job on the site, and what a cool idea! By the way – your ‘About Me’ picture = gorgeous!

Hi Katie, You have the most amazing recipes. I have been reading an awesome book… Eat To Live and it promotes a vegan diet. The author, a doctor, doesn’t say be vegan or do nothing he offers ways to cut back on animal so you can live a healthy life. I am slowly working my way into it. I don’t miss meat. However, I wanted to mention to you something Dr. Fuhrman reiterates in his book. If you follow his diet as he does it he says you will become thin… thinner than you may think is healthy and thinner than people who care about think is healthy. Don’t worry about that, he states your body will stop losing weight when it gets to your healthy weight. Unless you are very athletic you don’t need to worry. Increase nuts and other fats if you are worried. His book is very informative and has opened my eyes to a new way of looking at food. Anyway, I just wanted to share that with you, and thank you for the yummy recipes and thank you for being willing to share with the whole world. Chocolate OOOOO to you Anita

Dear dear Katie! I have been working my way through your phenomenal recipes, and–being more of a “silent” web user–I have left nary a comment. SO, I wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU so much for these wonderful recipes… of my favorites so far are the secret PB cookies (I added some oatmeal, cinnamon, and chocolate chips and they were to DIE for), the chickpea blondies and snickerdoodles (my favorite party trick now is to feed people chickpea dessert!) and the 3 ingredient peanut butter balls (I freeze them with your hot chocolate butter on top). Tonight I made the good girl fudge, plain and gingerbread flavors, and I am happily munching away! Again…many many thanks you talented chef-i-nista, and keep it coming!

Love the blog!! It´s amazing, and I´m glad to have found so many Larabar-style recipes while living here in Central America where you can´t get them 🙂 I am already hooked on the different cookie dough dips–what a tasty way to eat more beans! Just wanted to leave some LOVE and say keep up the great work, and your positive attitude and adventurous nature are just contagious. Keep smiling and God bless you!!!

Hey Katie Honey – still loving your work! I noticed when I looked at today’s post “Here is what happened on Saturday…” down the bottom of the page it has a “something else you may like” bit there is a picture of something delicious in a bowl with the words “my vegan photo shoot” but when I click on it I get a 440 error or something…. I MUST KNOW WHAT THIS DELICIOUS BOWL OF GOODNESS IS! Thanks again for a FAB blog (making choc pie this weekend!!!) xxxx

Hey Katie!
So I started reading your blog on like August 10, so I literally JUST missed your blog bake sale. I’m so bummed, I would have loved to bake something! Over the last month or so, you’ve totally changed the way I cook/bake– not only in that I literally make at least one thing from your blog almost every day, but also because I’ve totally started “vegan-izing,” all the recipes I see, based on your ideas! We’ve been not eating meat for a while, but we were using eggs and dairy at least some of the time, until we realized how easy it was to omit them, through all of your suggestions.
Anyway- I wanted to donate to Red Cross, in your name, since I didn’t participate in the bake sale. Two questions- 1) Would it be easier for you if I sent the money to you, or did you already send in your donation, in which case I’ll send it to the red cross. 2) If the latter, should I (did you, I guess) specify you wanted it to go to efforts in Japan, or just donate it to the Red Cross, to use at their discretion?
Thanks, Katie!
Andrea says
Sorry, when i said August 10, I meant April 10. But I just realized your bake sale for Japan was LAST April, not this April, lol! But, I’d totally still love to make a Red Cross donation in your name!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Thank you so much. That really means a lot to me. I’d just send it to Red Cross, since I don’t know if they even have a separate space for the Japan relief anymore (although I’m 100% sure there is still a need in Japan).

I cannot wait to get the ingredients to try them!

I’ve been following your blog for a while and thought I should just stop in to say thanks. I love the recipes, creativity and perspective you give. Like most people, I struggle with weight. I’m not overweight technically, though I go through periods where I feel like I could or should be thinner. I love your blog because it reminds me that balance is whats most important. When I was thinner, I wasn’t eating well, surely wasn’t eating chocolate and was miserable. Now, I’m still a healthy weight- but I love to enjoy your healthy recipes of food that is just delicious and I enjoy making. To me love, food and passion are all one and the same and you have done a beautiful job at expressing that here. Thanks again 🙂

Yes! By far totally the best hing to come across now. Newly vegan, two months, loving the results of health, but the carnivores I know will not let it go. I’m starting to see some ideas that will make them think twice, especially since i’m now covert vegan (claiming to quit) who just happens to love taste of nonfat soy milk. I have a feeling they will come around when there’s amazing food in these four walls again.

Alexy says
can I cover you in chocolate? NO? Ok…anyway, to address the vegan issue; Vegan does not always translate to “healthy”. In fact most OTC Vegan foods are very high in saturated fats. Why you ask? Because fat is flavor, and most vegan food is very shy on flavor. Vegan food tend to substitute whole veggy based fats fro the less saturated animal fats, like butter.
Ray foodies, as opposed to vegans, who sub a bit of hig quality, organic, minimally processed animal protien are far healthier, with fewer holes in their nutrient profile.

Hi Katie,
I was wondering if you’d consider adding a few more links to your special diet page? I have a friend who just became Vegan and has a severe nut allergy. I want to send her your way but am having trouble finding nut-free recipes (including coconut).
I’d also like to beg for a banana-free link on that page, since that’s my allergy. But it’s mild; not nearly as dramatic as nut-induced anaphylactic shock 🙂
Much Thanks,
Chelan
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hi Chelan,
I decided against doing a nut-free tag because I don’t know about cross-contamination in products that say “processed in a factory where peanuts are produced” or something like that. I didn’t want to confuse anyone or mislead them. Also, I didn’t know if people would count coconut as a nut.
As for banana, I usually offer substitutions in every recipe that calls for banana :).

Katie- I have been working hard to get fit and lose weight. I started 9 months ago and spent like 8 of those months depriving myself of sweets etc. I’ve lost 50lbs and gone down 5 pants sizes. I came across your blog about a month ago and I have to say, I make pretty much a different recipe from here every day. I’ve found a way to enjoy great things without destroying my hard work. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!! I’m planning to take the Cookie Dough Dip to a potluck and can’t wait to share it with my coworkers. Again, thank you! Your blog is truly wonderful. 🙂

I can’t even tell you how grateful I am that you took the time to let me know! I guess it’s been wrong like that for months :-?.

Hey there! I just discovered your blog and am really excited about it since I love healthy desserts!
You should know: the link to your facebook page at the bottom of your “about” page goes to your recipes, not to your facebook.

Katie, since I found your recipes and assaulted my blender making the amazing coconut butter, things have gotten very tasty here in Christchurch New Zealand. The nutella is already a hit with my friends (and me of course) and one of my Latvian friends who has decided to eat vegan has now been pointed in the direction of your blog. My cat may not like the blender usage (she’s terrified), but I am so happy! Thank you for being a food genius. Soon NZ AND Latvia will be all chocified.
Regards
Miriam

Katie,
We might need to break up. Every time I make one of your amazing desserts, I can’t stop eating whatever it is that I make! I always have good intentions of saving the food for a few days, but that doesn’t seem to work. 🙂
Keep up the great work!

Hi Katie,
I have recently discovered your website and I am so excited! I already can’t wait for your recipe book. I’m new to veganism and your recipes will really help. I’d love 1 or 2 really good mexican food recipes, if you are taking requests? Thanks for sharing so much!

Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I do have the Tortilla Soup recipe… and the Avocado-Free Guacamole (if you can even call that Mexican!) but other than that, I don’t think I have any. Maybe I need to make some spicy Mexican Chocolate recipes ;).

Hi Katie.
I think it’s great that you are doing a website geared towards guilt free indulgences that everyone loves, and it looks like you have a lot of great recipes that people love, but I as an aspiring Dietician, have some questions for you:
– Where do you get your nutritional information from?
-Do you research it?
-Do you have someone analyze it?
-How do we [the people making these recipes] know that this nutrition information is accurate?
-Are you trained in the Health Sciences as a Nutritionist or Dietician?
Thanks!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I often use Spark recipe calculator, but sometimes I do it by hand. I analyze it myself. No, I’m not a Nutritionist, but I have been doing this for quite a while!

I found you recently through VegNews article with choc chip muffins. You are a savior to the vegans out there who want to be HEALTHY if they are going to eat cooked vegan desserts, a battle we co-fight 🙂 I’m impressed at the simplicity of combinations, the use of a LOT of gluten and allergy free ingredients. My wife is not a sweet tooth, but I had to chain her to the stairs after making the above muffins. Words are only part of the thanks and gratitude we send you Katie. keep on.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Aw thanks, Andrew. I’m so honored you tried the muffins. I think that’s my favorite part of writing a website; when someone actually tries something I’ve posted :).

My dear, your blog is an incredible encouragement for me. I’m a proud vegan and am recovering from anorexia (some days minus the recovering). Something I struggle immensely with is dessert-y, indulgent sounding foods, as well as finding healthy things that fit my meal plan (I’m a health nut as well). A friend sent my a link to your blog and I was hooked – Healthy, vegan, single-serving… AND with nutritional info provided? Alright, everyone can go home now, Chocolate Covered Katie has won the internet 🙂
Keep up the greatness, and thank you!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Aw thanks, Helena. And good luck on the road to recovery. Life is short, and EVERYone deserves to eat what their bodies truly crave, to nourish our souls and spirits. Remind yourself that you don’t want to be 80 years old and saying, “I wish I’d allowed myself to eat more chocolate during my life.” 😉
Chocolate hugs!!

Katie, I’m so so happy I found your blog!!!
I’m from Germany and I’m vegan since three months now, not because of animals (don’t get me wrong, I love animals) but because of my skin. I’ve got neurodermatitis and it was really bad. No one could help me so I found a blog in the internet were other affected people told their stories and most of them said they were cured because of going vegan. So I tried it and I’m very very happy because now my skin is so much better! It’s not entirely gone, but on a good way to that!
I also omit sugar and wheat flour (I do that for 4 month now) and in the beginning it was very very hard because I have a really BIG sweet tooth (I love everything that is sweet, but especially chocolate and I really love recipes from the US (I just love your whole country (: !)), but after a while I got used to it.
And now, last week, I found your incredible blog an realized, I don’t have to give up chocolate, chocolate cake, sweets etc.! And I am so so happy! THANK YOU, Katie! Thank you so much!!

Just discovered your blog and am loving your recipes.
I want to try to make your Hot Cocoa Fudge babies, but I don’t have a scale. How many Tbsp or cups is 30 grams of cashews. Also, do I add these ingredients to the orginal Fudge baby recipe that’s posted or does the Hot Coca ones just have the 3 ingredients in them?
Thanks for all your sharing!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hi Gloria,
30g cashews is about 1/4 cup.

I have the worst sweet tooth and can’t cook to save my life. I have starting printing recipes and making them and read everything you write and love it. Your recipes are so great and I love that you have healthier desserts. Katie, I’ve seen people comment saying you are a genius, and I have to agree with them. Now I just have to get rid of the candy supplies…If only I had a job that I didn’t have to sit all day at. I think I love coconut more than candy though, so you have a lot of recipes that I can’t wait to make (if I haven’t already.)

You have NO IDEA how much I look forward to your posts! I have made great strides in having healthier foods for me and my family (65 lbs down and 25 to go!). My husband doesn’t have the same convictions that I do, which is ok. It can sometimes be discouraging eating another salad while my boys decide to run through the drive thru. Not only do you have fabulous recipes but I I feel like I have a girlfriend in my corner cheering my on! Thanks for rescuing me from salad purgatory!

I was ‘chasing rabbits’ online and came across your website. Originally coming here for the larabar recipes and realized your WHOLE site is full of delicious recipes for me to try! I have been mostly vegan for a little less than a year now but my family (children) refuse to follow along. So, I do what I can to make things vegan without them knowing. Think ‘sneaky VEGAN chef’ ! My oldest son is allergic to eggs and pork so I have been altering our diet to suit him for 10 years already. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that there is so much out there now for support and resources for vegans! You are part of that for me. Thank you very much. Blog on sista! : )

I just want to say thank you! I just recently went gluten and dairy free due to stomach problems. I also am very invested in keeping healthy, although we all get our cravings! Your blog and recipes has been so helpful. I’ve made and plan to make so many of your creations. I also have been using your substitution guidelines throughout my cooking. It has all been so helpful and useful, and I just thought you ought to know! So thanks!

Hi Katie,
I really enjoyed your post about Cake Batter Dip. I thought I’d reach out to you about some fun, unique and tasty giveaways for your blog!
Chocolate isn’t just for eating. Chocolate lovers and sweet tooths alike will love the smell and taste of dark chocolate and sweet raspberries in Yume (pronounced you-may) Blush’s line of organic and vegan edible line of body care. As if the name doesn’t say it all, this scrumptious body butter glides, slides, smoothes, and soothes skin just like massage oil. These products are pure and safe and even edible! Yume can soothe and soften irritated skin, treat burns, stretch marks, is anti-aging, and rejuvenates the skin!
I’d like to offer you a Yume Blush gift pack comprised of four ½ jars of Yume Blush in assorted flavors – you can choose from assorted chocolate flavors including chocolate raspberry, chocolate spearmint, chocolate orange or other custom chocolate blends. You can review it, offer it as a prize on your blog for your readers or keep it for yourself! We can even offer your readers the chance to win a special custom flavor of their choice.

I wrote a *little* bit about it here: https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/about/about-me/
Mostly, I’ve always loved desserts (especially chocolate), but I was getting headaches and feeling sluggish when I ate a ton every day. I didn’t want to give up my favorite foods because they made me feel gross… so I just changed them up a little :).

Oh my goodness. I am in LOVE with your blog! I just found it and I can’t WAIT to try out your recipes!! I want to try them all! Right NOW!! lol Where did you get your inspiration for all of these? They are you so creative!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I wish I could say that I had an organized little book of recipe ideas. The truth is that I have tiny sheets of scrap paper floating throughout the house… Ideas come up at random times (while I’m eating, sleeping, watching tv, or sometimes when I’m in the grocery store and see a picture in a magazine or even an ice cream flavor). The organized recipe book isn’t always around. 😉

Katie, you’re not only amazing in the kitchen, but your photography is excellent. I’m always impressed by the small details you include in your photos, which make them look completely professional! (Maybe I’m sounding really dumb here and you actually have a professional photographer but somehow I seriously doubt that…) Anyway kudos to you for taking as much time to make beautiful photos as you do making delicious recipes. (PS Thanks for saving my son…our homeopathic doctor suggested we take him off sugar due to a weak pancreas, thus a threat of Type 1 Diabetes. It’s been hard because he has a major sweet tooth, thanks to me, but your site has saved us both! We make several recipes a week and he doesn’t know he isn’t getting a huge “treat” every time!) Even my won’t-touch-a-fat-gram-ever husband loves them all. If a grown woman ever runs up and kisses you, you will know it’s me!! Thanks so much.

Hey! We just found your blog… the cookies are AMAZING!! My husband has non-alcoholic fatty liver and we’ve been working on watching what he eats. This recipe fits in perfect for us! Thank you so much.
I did have one question. How long have you been cooking? You seem so young in your pictures but so mature and knowledgable in your blog comments.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I mostly learned to cook after going vegan in high school… so around ten years ago :).

I realize this probably has been said before, but have you thought of putting your recipes all in one handy dandy book? You could use a website even like lulu.com where people can buy them one at a time–I did this with some blogs that I wanted to publish for some friends and family and it worked out great!
Anyways, your recipes are wonderful and I thank you for them! I have been a diabetic for 6 years now and have always loved baking. One day I hope to open up an alternative bakery/coffee shop using different flours/sugars/etc as there seems to be a lack of them. The last three years this really has hit home as I have a friend who has been house ridden because she is so sick and the doctors don’t know what is wrong with her. She has an extremely restricted dieted and I am always baking and cooking for her–your recipes have given me new ideas and her some new (and much needed excitement) in her life. So thank you!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Thanks, Kathleen!
I am working on a cookbook… it’ll have some of the old recipes and some new. Maybe after that, I will also look into putting all the other old recipes into an e-book or something :).

I’ve just added your link to my blogroll–not that my blog has anything to do with food, but just because I want to share it! Also sent the link to my favorite foodies.
Wonderful recipes, charming personality, careful writing, and good grammar. A perfect combination!

Hi Katie!
I used to run cross country, then got injured and really want to get back into running but just can’t find the motivation. What did you do to gradually work your miles up to a 10 mile run??
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Start out slowly, maybe running 10 minutes, then walking one. Repeat. I bet the runnersworld.com forums would have some great advice!

Katie,
Due to an accident 10+ years ago, I’m left w/out a right hip. Makes it a bit hard to excerise, but I’m crazy about chocolate, and I’m guilty as the next when it comes to WANTING some chocolate everyday, I know everyone hears workout, keep yourself healthy but w/out being able to walk alot of miles, go to the gym and the fact that I constantly have to watch myself so my hip(whats left of it) doesnt start the bad cycle of possibly breaking again, and restarting my bone disease called Gorhams Diease, or AKA vanishing bone disease I definetly have to watch the calories. So the point of my comment, I’m grateful I got on here today and discovered your page. Many thanks, and here’s to continuing onto reading what you have posted/pinned. Thanks for showing how yummy these healthy reciepes can be. With gratitude, Amanda K. Cardwell

I Love your blog so much mostly because I could not live without chocolate but I also have to follow a strict absolutely gluten free diet. I have been missing so many things in the past 6 years and up until last year when I found your blog I was convinced there were no healthy and awesome tasting desserts out there for me that I could make at home that didn’t include gobs of sugar!
I just wanted to say thanks and that I have now successfully tried 30 of your recipes as gluten free in the past year and have shared them all with my friends!

Hi there!
I love your blog, especially the recipes with chocolate!
I’m a student at Oberlin College, and I have recently done a lot of research into Fair Trade/fairly traded chocolate. After learning that the majority of the chocolate in production comes from slavery, including child slavery and trafficking, I became very committed to this cause. I love baking, especially with chocolate, and I have collection of food blogs that I love. I’m beginning to contact my favorite bloggers, one by one, and recommend Fair Trade, Rainforest Alliance, or other fairly traded chocolates, if you don’t know about or use them already.
Some of the “Big Chocolate” companies that use slavery in the production of its cocoa products include Hershey, Nestle, Godiva, Lindt, and many, many more. This documentary has absolutely changed my life. If you’re interested in knowing more about the horrible abuse and slavery happening right now on Africa’s Ivory Coast, please check it out!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Vfbv6hNeng
Thank you so much for your time, and for your beautiful blog. If you would like any resources about where you can buy slave-free chocolate, please let me know!
Sincerely,
Ari Mason
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hi Ari,
Thanks for the link. To be honest, I just recently (like a few months ago) started paying more attention to the idea of fair-trade chocolate. Yes, in the back of my mind I knew that there was such thing as the chocolate slave trade… but I’m ashamed to admit that, like many other people, I just put it out of my mind and didn’t seek more information on it.
Finally, when I did come to my senses and read up about it, I was appalled and disgusted that such things really still take place, and I vowed to never buy non-fair-trade chocolate again. So as of the last few months, all my cocoa and chocolate chips are fair-trade ONLY. (I didn’t have a problem with the bars- my favorite companies were already fair-trade!)
I was actually thinking of writing a post about it sometime in the near future. As a vegan, I’m concerned with the ethical treatment of all creatures, and that includes humans! Fair-trade cocoa might be a little more expensive (ok, a lot), but I’m guessing that’s because they actually PAY their workers! In any case, thank you for spreading the word, because people like me really shouldn’t continue to turn a blind eye as I did for too long.

Thank you so much for your reply, Katie!
I’m so glad you know about Fair Trade and the slavery in chocolate. I totally understand about turning a blind eye at first…I had no idea what Fair Trade meant, and I thought that it just meant that people got paid more money. I’m so glad that I know now! And I think it would be SO awesome to do a post about it!!!
I love to see food bloggers up on this stuff. Thanks for being awesome! <3

oh Katie, I haven’t found a blog this amazing for ages! Your blog rocks!!! I am a fan of healthy desserts for sure 😉 I looked around for way too long (sigh, i suppose three kids and a husband keeps me from drooling over food all day long) Anyways back to reality. I entered Zucchini in the search bar looking for an amazing zucchini desset (cookies?) and I didn’t see any…..so I thought you might want to experiment with that one! Right now, people have zucchini coming out their ears.
Best of luck! Wonderful amazing blog! Also, another idea….could you post YOUR top 10 favorite recipes in a post??? I’d love to see that….
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I have two recipes (zucchini bread an zucchini cupcakes), but I’m not sure yet which will go into the cookbook, so I haven’t been able to post either. Maybe I need to do zucchini brownies as well!
Not sure why it didn’t come up, but the Raw Coconut Cream Pie has zucchini! 🙂

I love your site. I am a holistic nutritionist and I bake healthy desserts for a living, serving them to students and teachers at the school where I work.
I frequently come to your site to look for recipes, and I have yet to try one that I didn’t like.
I am interested in winning the food processor. I am now a Pinterest Follower and just repinned your chocolate chip cookie dough dip. Can’t wait to try it!!

Hello Katie,
So thrilled to have found your site. I too love, love, love chocolate! I reprinted three of your recipes the cookie dough, the green lemonade, and the larimer (sp) bar. I would be honored to have a chance at the cuisinart. Our family is embarking on a new healthy path and your recipes fit the bill. Keep up the good work!

I found your site while browsing another health food blog I have been following http://existentialevolution.com. As a certified junk food addict I cannot wait to try your healthy versions of some old time favorites. Looks like a trip to the store is in order.

Hey Katie- I thought you might want to view this 2 minute video from YouTube. It’s regarding prop 37 which California is trying to pass- and I pray that it does and all US States pass this law to Force all Foods containing GMO to be labelled so we can all make informed decisions and not remain in the dark about the cancer causing effects of GMO. Thank You

Hi Katie! I’m laughing about your post today saying you got so many pins recently! I became a little obsessed with your blog although I already had you pinned to my pinterest as a favorite (I’d done it months ago but haven’t been pinning regularly…boy I got on a tangent yesterday though)! I’m staring my own blog which is http://outsideoftheboxeats.blogspot.com/. Feel free to drop by & offer any suggestions you may have. I read your advice already about blogging. I hope mine can be at least half as good as yours. I am inspired by special diets because my son has to eat vegan basically. He can’t properly digest certain animal (& some plant) proteins. You have some WONDERFUL recipes, so I keep coming back. I don’t think I need to look any further than your blog (& decided that yesterday!) 🙂 Keep them coming!

Absolutely LOVE your website. Seriously. When I found your site I didn’t realize it was vegan! It took me half an hour ( and in the mean time trying the No-bake PB& chocolate cookie dough, and loving it!) before I realized what this site was! You have rid me of all prejudices about vegan recipes, and I thank you for it. Also thank you for the chocolate! 🙂

I don’t usually comment on blogs as I’m not a very social network-y person. But I think there is a market for your recipes that perhaps you haven’t yet tapped–people with children. I found your blog because I was looking for almond milk ice cream recipes. My 3 year old’s favorite food is ice cream, and while I don’t forbid him to have dairy, I do like to limit how much he eats, because my feeling is that a ton of dairy is not so healthy. And since in the summer time, he can eat a lot of ice cream, I was finding that the store-bought vegan ice creams got very pricey, with not much nutrition in them. Anyway, I’ve made the 1 minute chocolate cake for him a couple of times. He loves it because he can “help” me make it and he can get almost instant gratification. And it actually has nutrition in it, which makes me very happy. The crazy ingredient chocolate cake is in the oven as we speak. I like the idea of serving up some veggies with his cake. Anyway, this is a long-winded way of saying that you could market your recipes to parents. Just an idea.
Also, on another note, I think you look good just the way you are, but if you do want to gain weight you might check out the book “Eating for your Type.” If you want to know more, feel free to email me.

Hi, I had a random recipe question and wasn’t quite sure where to ask it, so I guess here is as good a place as any. My sister found this recipe for a cauliflower pizza crust on another blog and we tried it the other night (http://stickafork.net/2012/04/cauliflower-crust-pizza/). It’s a wonderful idea and very tasty but I was wondering if you had any vegan ideas of how to make it and still have it hold together (her recipe has some egg and a lot of cheese as a binder 😉
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I never know how something will work unless I’ve tried it, so I really don’t have any ideas. But if you google “vegan cauliflower pizza crust” I do think I remember seeing a vegan cauliflower pizza crust on Pinterest a few months back! Good luck!

You are adorable so whatever new blog title you put on, as long as there is a picture of you, it will be great. Your recipes are our favorites and especially with my granddaughter who has celiac.
Every recipe we try, we LOVE (except the ones with Nutella – please try to creat a lower fat and sugar substitute). You are amazing. Keep up the good work. And I LOVE your comments/narration. You are gorgeous – why aren’t you married yet? (I am a matchmaker on the side 🙂 )
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hi Ilene,
Thank you!! I actually already DID post a recipe for healthier Nutella- my version even can be sugar-free :).

I am so happy I stumbled across your blog. I am not a vegan (or even a vegetarian), but I’ve lost over 120 pounds by trying to eat healthier and expand the variety of foods I try. But I still love desserts and your recipes are so interesting and sound tasty. I have tried a couple and am looking forward to doing even more. Especially love the ones that make only one or two servings, which helps prevent OVER-indulging. Thanks again for all your work and fun ideas!

We want to know more about you. Why did you start a blog about healthy chocolate? What’s your story?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Originally it wasn’t a food blog! I actually started it while in college at Bryn Mawr, as a means of keeping up with friends back in Texas. However, as I wrote about my vegan adventures through Philadelphia, other food bloggers began commenting on my site. I made friends with them and soon started writing more of a food blog… somewhere along the way, I realized that the posts I enjoyed writing (and photographing) the most were the posts about dessert!

I have a kind of random question. I’ve been reading some on vegan diets and found a recipe for cashew cream, but I’m allergic to cashews so I was wondering do you know if it would work with macadamia nuts? If so have you ever tried it?
I had a delayed food allergy test & discovered I was severely allergic to milk, and mildly to almonds, peanuts, cashews, & sunflower (the almond & peanut probably because I consumed so much of them lol). I’m hoping if I lay off these nuts for a time I’ll be able to reintroduce them eventually so I’m trying to figure out things in the meantime! I love your recipes and just wondered your opinion!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I haven’t personally tried it, but I am almost 100% sure it would work!

Hey Katie! I am SO glad that I ran into your blog!!! I don’t know HOW you come up with yummy, healthy recipes, but that doesn’t matter. You truly ARE a miracle and I can’t wait to try these recipes guilt-free.
I’ve got to tell you though, there’s only ONE problem with this blog. A Big problem. Very big. So big that it can even be called huge, enormous, gigantic… I’ll stop now and hopefully you get the point. The problem is… I spent a total of FIVE hours on this blog. Guess what the problem is yet? No? M’kay, it’s that your blog is ADDICTING!!! No, seriously, like chocolate. (Awesome, beautiful, ah-ma-zinggg chocolate.) I don’t know if there’s anyway that you can fix this ‘problem’, but if there is, I want you to promise me that you, under any circumstances, will not FIX this problem. It’s a big, beautiful problem, okay? Thank you. *end rant* XD So that was my sad attempt at trying to get you to fix the ‘problem’ but at the end, my true feelings about this ‘problem’ (that I didn’t want it to be fixed) won over. 🙂
Hope to see more recipes! 🙂

I have been needing to go off sugar but having such a hard time… =(
What is xylitol and how does it compare to Stevia?
That is what I try to use the most cuz it is natural so it is not too bad for you compared to all the other artificial sweetners but doesn’t always taste great in baked stuff.
I am sooooo extremely excited to find YOU and your recipes …
Can’t wait to try them out!!!!!!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
They are two different natural sweeteners. Which one to use depends on the recipe, I guess.

Just checking – have you ever thought about sending in a video for “Next Food Network Star”? You have such a unique niche and such great recipes – I think you would be great on this show.
Thanks for all your recipes – most all work for my diet. I had gastric bypass 6 years ago – have lost 226 lbs and kept it off (never gained any back) with recipes like yours! I appreciate all your creativity!

Hi Katie,
I just learned that my son is allergic to egg, dairy and wheat. His first birthday is coming up and I want to make him a delicous but healthy cake that my very non-vegan family could also enjoy. Do you have any suggestions? I am addicted to all of your recipes but was wondering if you have one in mind that would work best for a birthday cake.
Thank you!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Sorry to just be getting back to you now… I’m afraid my answer might not be helpful anymore :(.
But just in case, the Crazy Ingredient Chocolate Cake, Deep Dish Cookie Pie, or the Mint Chocolate Cupcakes are always well-received.

Katie,
Do you have a cookbook for sale anywhere? My mom who loves everything meat and non vegan loves your recipes that I have made. She is intrigued but I am not sure if she even knows what a blog is. I was hoping to give her a cookbook as a Christmas present. Thanks!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I’m hoping it will be out by next Christmas! 🙂

I didn’t see it in the “about me” section, and I’m wondering…are you vegetarian? vegan? gluten-free? If so, for what reasons? Just want to learn more about you.
I’m guessing on the vegan thing, but am pretty sure you’re a vegetarian based on your adopting a turkey. That’s a cute photo. I appreciate your overall care and concern for others, and desire to help them in real ways through your blog here. And of course love your recipes. 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Yes, I’m a vegan :).

How do you take such beautiful pictures of your creations? I’d like to do the same with mine to create a recipe book to help myself get more organized, and I want the pictures to look amazing like yours!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
That means a lot to me… because I am always working to try and take better pictures! I think the most important thing you can do is read your camera manual cover to cover. It’s also a good idea to not use the flash with food photography. And natural lighting is best if at all possible :).

Katie, you are beautiful! You are VERY thin though, almost to an unhealthy extent. I know you posted something before about eating disorders, which was great, but you have posted a lot of pictures of yourself that do not look healthy. It may send the wrong message to young girls.
rebecca ebert says
i just want to say that i absolutely DO NOT agree!! katie, you simply look like someone that eats healthy, doesnt overindulge and enjoys exercise…..actually very rare in our current culture. thank you sooooo much for everything!!!!

Kitty Bea says
If you haven’t made this other people MAKE IT NOW. 🙂 I just ate a big piece of it and had to make myself stop.
I was actually worried that with very little sweetener (just a few packets of stevia) that it wouldn’t be sweet. But the dates must work magic, and with the cup of 85% chocolate chunks I put in, it was divine. Eating healthy desserts is so easy.
Thank you so SO much Katie! I really appreciate all your hard work.

Hi,
I ran into your blog looking for recipes on how to make oatmilk. I have tried a few recipes since and I love them! I have some chocolate chip cookies waiting for me right now, just out of the oven 😉
Thanks for taking your time and sharing the recipes, and for making life on this planet a little bit easier for the animals, go vegan!

Hello!
I was wondering if you would say that your recipes are something diabetics should follow? I made your deep dish choc chip cookie and my blood sugars did not spike. What do you think?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I think it depends on the recipe. I know many diabetics have made some of my recipes. I honestly don’t know enough about the restrictions to give recommendations, but I do know (from people’s comments) that some of the recipes are suitable for most diabetics.

Hey Katie thank you for your site. These recipes are wonderful! Today I tried the single serve chocolate cake with my own chocolate butter cream frosting and it was awesome! I couldn’t believe I made it in a microwave!!! It was really to much though. Probably more like a serving and a half!! How do you do it without eggs I wonder??

Hi Katie, I’m a vegan in the Dallas area too! I became vegetarian 19 years ago and both my kids have been vegetarian since birth. My 8 year old son decided to become vegan on his own this summer and I joined him. (My 5 year old daughter eats “mostly vegan” now.) My brother inspired me first when he became vegetarian and then went vegan after one year. He’s been vegan for over 22 years now. He and his girlfriend–also a longtime vegan–own an online vegan grocery store in Austin–Rabbit Food Grocery. I had been wanting to go vegan for a long time, but was a little afraid of how hard it might be. Now that I made the plunge–thanks to my son–it was actually a really easy transition, in part because I had been eating mostly vegan for so long. I do wish there were more vegan-friendly or all-vegan restaurants here, like in Austin though. Spiral diner is yummy though. 🙂

Hello Katie!
A year ago, I was sick. well, actually I had been having major GI troubles for years. Doctors told me they just couldn’t do anything. My intestines pretty much didn’t function and i was miserable. So, I decided that food was probably a cause…more than doctors think. I tried different diets, starting with gluten and dairy free. That’s when I found your blog! Since then, I’ve found a good doctor who tested me for food allergies. Turns out, I had every major allergen in the book! through vitamins, whole foods living, exercise, and avoiding 15 food allergens at once, I’m now doing great! Almost healed! And I grew up in GA, where most people think fried chicken is a healthy meal. It’s been a huge change. My family though I was insane when I made a garbanzo bean pie. LOL. And I don’t think I could have done it wihtout some of your recipes. I’ve been able to easily adapt them to fit my dietary needs and feel like I don’t have to do without dessert. Thanks so much, God bless you!
Rachel says
oh, and I meant to ask….
I’m starting my own blog to help people experiencing food allergies. I want to teach how to adapt recipes and also about the importance of nutrition. I’d like to post some of your recipes, with a link to your blog. Would this be okay with you?
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hi Rachel,
Thanks for such a sweet comment. Please feel free to use any photos you wish. I only ask that people link to the actual recipe on my site instead of writing it out in full.

Hey Katie =)
I love your blog. You seem absolutely lovely, are stunningly beautiful and you have such fresh and creative ideas. I’m scared for you though. I know this is probably none of my business so feel free to just delete this, but in your photos you look extremely underweight and I am really worried. I know you say you eat what your body desires, but sometimes when someone has under eaten for a while the body doesn’t recognise hunger normally. Please consider receiving help and gaining some weight. You would appear so much healthier.
I hope I haven’t offended you! That really wasn’t my intention!
Kind regards,
Libby
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Thanks for expressing your concern in such a respectful manner. But please do not worry; I am very healthy and am taking in the proper amount of fuel for optimum health. It’s not always easy to tell if someone is healthy from looking at photos, but my weight is just fine for my body.

I just discovered your website and OMG!!! I decided to make the flourless chocolate chip cookies. I must admit that I had to improvise since I didn’t have all of the ingredients and wow they are amazing cookies. I used half oatmeal and half raw pecans instead of all oatmeal since that was what was available in my pantry. I also used macerated dates instead of the brown sugar. The husband is on a caffeine free, sugar free diet for a while. Everything else I kept the same and the cookies were soft, sweet and just plain delicious. I will be recommending your site to everyone from now on. Bravo.

Wow! Just made the flour less black bean brownies! They are so great! I know my family would have no idea that they are Vegan and made with black beans. I have so many diet concerns and this blog is such a god send! Thank you – keep writing it all down for us!!! I want to try substituting avacado for the coconut oil or as you said, a nut butter! Yummmm.

Hey, love it! All the recipes are beyond yummy, and adding the health makes it all the better. My friend and I have tried a lot of them, and they are SOOO good. The pictures you take rock, too. The single serve recipes are my favorite. One-minute chocolate cake is past genius!

Katie! Your dessert blog is awesome – thanks so much for doing this 🙂 I was wondering (and I’ll need to look through the comments to see if anyone else has asked for this) if you would tag your recipes or collect them under a high in healthy fats tag. I lost a bunch of weight, but one of the side effects has been hair loss, which I am trying to rectify with increasing my healthy fat intake.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hi Rachel,
I don’t have a healthy fat tag… just the peanut butter tag and the coconut butter tag. But my favorite high-calorie recipes are listed here:
https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2012/03/04/my-high-calorie-recipes/
Also, any of the ice cream recipes–when made with full-fat coconut milk–are high in healthy fats.
Hopefully that’s somewhat helpful!

I lost a bunch of weight, but one of the side effects has been hair loss, which I am trying to rectify with increasing my healthy fat intake.
Lisa Marie says
This website is awesome! I am from Germany and so I can’t get all ingredients for some recipes, but I can’t wait to try the other ones. I am so happy you post so many pumpkin recipes! Keep on doing this, it’s great!

Thank you for all these awesome recipes!
No one in my family is vegan, but I love how your recipes are dairy free (sister’s allergies)!
You’re so funny, and very pretty. I’m so glad I found your blog!
Thank you, from a fellow chocoholic!

LoveloveLOVE this site, it’s my first line of defense in a healthy diet (a HUGE switch from last year for me) Do you have any recipe ideas for a coffee creamer substitute? This time of year, the holiday flavors are my main downfall!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Maybe canned coconut milk (full-fat, like Thai Kitchen) with different spices or sweteeners added for flavors? To be honest, the only creamers I have ever tried are Silk plain or Silk hazelnut.

Katie,
This is the BEST website I have found for making healthy desserts!!! I love baking, and I try to eat healthy, but my two passions have always been enemies until now! I love the website and am very excited to try several recipes! 🙂

Hi Katie!
Firstly, let me just say how lovely, informative and delicious your blog is. I have tried several recipes and loved each and every one I am inspired by your recipes and success and am grateful for you sharing your talent!
I follow your blog and saw your post today about how much your photography transformed. I can relate!
Your post reminded me I wanted to reach out to you. I am an artist, graphic designer, illustrator and visual composer. I specialize in Branding & Identity for creative entrepreneurs like you! Why am I telling you all of this? I would love to work with you!
If setting yourself apart from others and having a brand that speaks your mission, style and aesthetic sounds like something you would like to learn more about and perhaps try, I would love to talk more.
I anticipate your response and next blog post!
Sincerely,
Meredith

Hi Meredith,
Your work is absolutely beautiful. I’m actually working with a web designer already. But we haven’t settled on a logo yet, and I might have to hire someone else just for that. Do you have any recommendations for a good CCK logo?

Hi Katie – my Early Childhood PTA group in Allen Texas is looking for a chocolate related speaker for our February meeting – Valentines day makes us think chocolate – funny how that works! We moms really really appreciate your fantastic chocolate and beyond recipes that are healthy too. Would you be interested? Feb 8th is the date – I know it is short notice. Appreciate your consideration.

Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hi Judy,
Unfortunately I won’t be able to make it. But I’m honored you even asked!
judy says
Thanks for the reply Katie. if you would ever be interested we’d love to have you as a speaker. We are a small group so its very informal and low key. Going on small group speaking engagements would be good training for your future book tours. I’m guessing you have that in your near future. We love supporting entrepreneurs and the topic of healthy desserts is one that interests moms very much. Love your creativity! Best of luck to you! Judy

I know the answer is somewhere on this site to be found, but just spent 30 min looking and out of time. How can I print a recipe? I try to copy and paste into Word on my iMac, but most often get a jumble. I know it wastes ink and paper, but I love to bring a recipe to the store to buy supplies & then use in the kitchen to follow. Then I save for another day or share. Am I missing something obvious. Thanks for your time – and an awesome bunch of recipes that you gift us!

You should make a list of recipes for people who have corn allergies. That would be extremely helpful 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I think the majority of my recipes are already corn-free. Maybe I’m overlooking a hidden source of corn, but I’d think the only ones you’d need to watch out for would be any that call for cornstarch (there aren’t many, and you can usually sub arrowroot anyway), cornmeal, or actual corn. But, as I said, maybe I am overlooking an ingredient. I am admittedly not very knowledgeable about that particular allergy.

Where have you been all my life??!! Or rather . . . all my VEGAN life??!! Which hasn’t been that long really but oh how I miss desserts, REAL desserts. NOT ANY MORE! My vegan-leery husband loved the Fake Vita Tops and tonight we are trying the Tater Like Tots.
One questions, can I use your recipes in my B&B and pass them on to my guests, giving you full credit of course?
I already recommended you on my inn’s FB page and my friends are lovin’ ya big time 🙂
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Aw thanks, Peggy :).
I’m working on a cookbook, and I’m not sure about copyright laws with the recipes that are going in the book. I think the publisher would rather the recipes not be reprinted… I think one would be ok, but for more than that could you possibly just give them the link?
Peggy says
I wasn’t going to print recipes out and giving them to people, I don’t think that would be right….I’ll just say where I got them and they can go check-out your website and fall in love with it too! BTW…the Tater Like Tots were a hit. The Mr. didn’t even know they weren’t made with potatoes…too funny 🙂

I would love for you to come up with some tartlet recipes. I just got a tartlet pan from Williams & Sonoma and was horrified at the 12 tablespoons of butter required for the crust. Now I’m thinking your pie crust would be great for most dessert-ish recipes, but do you have any thoughts on eggy, quiche like tartlets? I’m also thinking your strawberry frosting would be good in these mini tarts topped with fresh berries. Perhaps a chocolate frosting topped with chocolates shavings? I love your blog. I recommend it to everyone!!

Christine Moore says
I was thinking about this the other day: what do you do with the recipe products that “don’t make the cut”? I know you try to be as resourceful as possible, but is it part of the process as a recipe tester/maker that sometimes you do not want to give away or save your finished result so you end up throwing it in the garbage? I bet you’re very creative and avoid this last resort most of the time.
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Yes, it’s unfortunately inevitable that sometimes there are recipes that just aren’t edible.

I personally use Silk (not for coffee, but sometimes for other recipes). I don’t really know much about creamers… what about subbing canned coconut milk or coconut cream? I’ve done that before too.

LOVE your blog. I found this via another post through Pinterest and have been pinning some of the recipes. My husband and I are primal eaters and our downfall is almost always eating a dessert packed with sugar and then feeling not only crummy from the sugar, but guilty as well. Last night I made the coconut crack bars – we LOVE them!! Thank you so much for the recipes and the inspiration to take healthy eating yet another step forward. I’m looking forward to trying more of the recipes for sure! My husband is THRILLED! p.s. – it would be really great to not have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the feedback to leave feedback. My little iPad was unhappy. 🙂

I love CCK!
But, my tummy does not always love Xylitol in large quantities. Do you have recommendations for a sugar-free brown sugar? I tried the Xylitol + molasses approach, but suffice it to say, I regretted that decision after the fact. Your advice would be most appreciated! =]

Hi Katie,
I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to you for your wonderful website. My boyfriend and I have recently gone vegan, but the thought of not being able to bake and eat goodies terrified me! I love baking, and both of us have a sweet tooth, so we had to find a way to be vegan and still have our treats.
I come to your website almost daily for a new recipe of deliciousness. Just to give you an idea of how often I use it…my boyfriend went to grab the last lemon bar tonight for dessert (and to annoy me since there was none left for me!), but I made the chocolate peanut butter oatmeal with the frosting to annoy him…only to have him not only eat the last lemon bar, but half of my chocolate oatmeal as well!!! Good thing the lemon bars are low cal!
I’ve tried loads of your recipes and haven’t had one fail yet!!! Thanks so much!

Wish me luck!) and all I’m doing is surfing your blog for more and more recipes and making notes, like, okay, ” I can make this for my brother when he comes to visit” or “This would be perfect for my friend’s birthday” etc.
I have a feeling I’m going to fail-but be an incredible dessert-making failure!

Can you perhaps put a size reference in your pictures? For example, the poptarts you made. I thought they were as large as regular poptarts until I saw the strawberry next to it. Could you perhaps put some kind of universal size reference? (ie ruler, golf ball, dice, etc.)

Hi Katie……I was fixing to make a lemon flavored lara bar, so I went to your recipes and low and behold there was not one. I had told someone over the weekend that I was going to make them for our next meeting based on your recipe, and now I realize that I made a mistake in that I thought the sunshine bar recipe was a lemon one. I now have re-read the recipe and realized that it is pineapple based. So, here is my question……..what do you think I could use to make that recipe into a lemon flavored bar? Thank you a ton.
cck says
It is on my list of things to try!

I just wanted to tell you how much I love your recipes. This is me to a T “healthy but refuses to give up eating delicious desserts” I always loved to bake since turning vegan I am having to learn all over again. Your recipes are perfect. But have to tell you something funny. We had a friend over who is an Alaskan hunting guide (can’t always pick what your friends do) when I put a plate of chocolate babies in front of him he said it looked like moose scat. So he and my other half had a great laugh making fun of me. Even looked moose scat up on the internet and actually they looked alike. Lots of laughter but they did love them!! Also make the coconut macaroons which they loved even more. I can wait to try the frosting shot today! We had a great time and really enjoyed our treats. Vegan and carnivore come together!
Thank you so much!

Hi Katie!
Always enjoy getting your recipes. I wanted to try making the “hot choclate butter”, but I don’t like agave and cannot eat stevia, is there any other sweetener I can use (i.e. sugar, brown sugar, etc.)?

Pure maple syrup.

I just found your blog, and I’m SO happy! It’s amazing! I started myfitnesspal.com and I added one of your recipes to it (Hot Apple Crumble Bars). I made them tonight and actually cut them into small squares- 25! I’m so excited to be able to track sugars, have recipes that are much lower in sugar, and contain whole wheat! You rock! I have PCOS and we are working at having kids and your recipes are such a blessing to help stay healthy and enjoy yummy things! Thank you!!

Oh and I’m not a vegan, just a health-food junkie, and your recipes get my non-vegan seal of approval!
Keep up all the great work. I’m sure I speak for all of your fans in saying we LOVE YOUR CHOCOLATE-COVERED BLOG!!

I like your website, but as a nutrition editor of a major magazine, it would help to tell your readers the serving sizes on which your nutritional information is based. Otherwise, it’s not very helpful! Sometimes, your recipes indicate a range of servings (eg, 8-12), but the data doesn’t say if it’s for 8 or 12–and there’s a big difference in nutrition based on that serving range… And then other times, there is no suggested serving for recipes and it makes it impossible to know what your recipes are based on. Would just be so super helpful to have nutrition based on XYZ serving!!!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Hi Sarah,
As is standard practice in cookbooks (and major magazines, actually), if a range is given for servings, the nutrition information is always based on the larger number of servings unless otherwise stated.

Hey Katie! I love this blog! I keep wanting to make yummy treats for my family but we are all trying to eat healthier and I’m not helping! LOL.

I’m confused… I try very hard to post recipes that don’t call for complicated ingredients at all. 🙁
Most of the ingredients can be found in mainstream grocery stores. And you can always use the options. For example, most recipes will list spelt flour but also give an option for all-purpose.

katie, I just wanted to thank for all of your inspiring recipes!
they (and their deliciousness haha) never fail to amaze me (and my family, and no one ever believes they are vegan!).
I love baking and sweet things of all kind and you showed me that all my favorites could easily be prepared vegan without fancy ingredients or suffering in the taste sector or having a funny texture. Because of you I finally had the courage to switch to a vegan diet and I feel so much better now! I cannot thank you enough!
I live in Europe and am soooo hoping that I will be able to buy your cookbook here once it is released.
I wish you all the best for your life, stay the amazing, kind and funny person that you are and be brave in the kitchen 😉

Love, love, love your site. I am newly gluten-free and adjusting and I am also a lacto-ovo vegetarian. Friends of ours were recently in the States and came back raving about double dipped chocolate covered peanut butter malt balls. My kids and husband would love to try them (who am I kidding…me too!)…do you have a recipe for this sinful concoction? Thanks for your help! All the best!
Chocolate-Covered Katie says
I don’t think I have ever tried a malt ball… I will have to google it!

Have you heard of Xocai (sho-sigh) healthy chocolate.? What sets it apart from any other chocolate is that it is cold-processed, so retains the extremely high-antioxidant values of the cacao. It has amazing health & wellness benefits, as well as weight-loss.

Katie, would LOVE more recipes using almond flour! I’ve tried your single-girl cupcakes with it and it just doesn’t work too well. With spelt being a wheat flour, I can’t eat it, and nor can hundreds who are also a part of my local fitness program. I keep a weekly recipe blog for the group and love showcasing your ideas and directing people here to your site! Almond flour is my go-to baking product (though I occasionally use pulsed oats) so please know that I will jump all over any almond flour recipes you can whip up for us! Thanks!

Love your recipes! I make you chocolate chip, pumpkin cake at every oppportunity, at least once every two weeks. Yeah, I can’t stay away. Anyway, one thing that would really induce my salivary action is a healthy recipe for cinnamon rolls. If you are so inspired, I would be too!
Thank you,

Hi Katie, Absolutely love you and your website. Have you tried coconut flour in any of your recipes. Especially interested in your “single lady” recipes. I have tried most of them using spelt flour, and they are amazing. But I have also used coconut flour in other “mock” single serving recipes. Thanks so much! Cathy
Chocolate Covered Katie says
So far just the Cake Batter Reeses, gluten-free breakfast pizza, and… I think that’s it, but you can type “coconut flour” into my search bar and see if anything else comes up.
For the future (hopefull soon), I have an amazing coconut flour brownie recipe to post, as well as coconut flour cereal and chocolate bars.

I found your site through Pinterest & tried at least half of your oatmeal recipes (using the whole milk that was always stocked in my fridge). They were so delicious, I decided to try your desserts & loved them too. Then I wondered how much different they would taste using almond milk, but there was hardly a difference. Well, long story short… I decided to try being a vegan for a year. My husband supported it & started doing his own research on it. After a few days he joined me & we both decided that a year was silly. We are vegans for life. We have a 7 month old boy, who we are going to raise vegan (controversial, I know). I must admit, I am nervous about telling people that. Glad he’s only eating babyfood, so I don’t have to worry about it just yet…
And our 6 year old daughter is vegetarian/part-time vegan. She loves soy yogurt & can’t believe that when I hand her a cookie that none of the ingredients hurt animals.
Anyway, I really just wanted to say thank you. We’ve been a vegan house-hold for just barely a month now. But we’re all loving it. And your blog/recipes inspired that. This has been a wonderful lifestyle change for us. And honestly, I feel so much healthier without meat in my life. I don’t know why everyone doesn’t do it! 🙂

Here is my easy vegan chocolate sauce recipe, feel free to add to it. Like to keep it on hand for when I get some old bananas that I freeze, pulse in the Vitamix and serve with the sauce.
1 cup almond milk (pre-warmed in microwave) Luzerne brand (Safeway here in CA)
1/4 cup cocoa powder or more if desired, dissolved in a little water (Chatfield’s brand from health food store)
1/2 teaspoon stevia (Stevita Supreme)
1/2 teaspoon arrowroot dissolved in some water
Toasted coconut/walnut mix
Instructions:
Pour almond milk into saucepan and slowly add cocoa powder that should be a bit on the thick side, stirring until lumps are gone. Add stevia (more or less until desired sweetness). Add water to the arrowroot and stir until desired thickness. Stir into the saucepan with the chocolate until a bit thickened, remove from heat.
Take frozen bananas, toss into Vitamix (can add some additional frozen fruit) mix until you get the desired consistency. Pour/spoon into cups and pour chocolate sauce over.
Top with coconut/nut mix.
Enjoy.

Just stumbled across this website. I cannot digest dairy products, and lots of desserts have dairy. There is so much to look at here…can you give me your top 5 fav desserts to start with? And please, don’t give me a healthy brownie recipe with black beans in it…I tried one from my Clean Eating cookbook and it was downright NASTY!
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Top 5 is hard lol. Maybe start with one of the ones on the right sidebar of this blog? There are a few little photos on the side of the blog that link to things like the deep dish cookie pie. Or there are also some links at the very bottom of the website. I like the peanut butter pie :).

Have you tried PB2 for peanut butter in any if your recipes?
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Yes, such as the peanut butter chips or the pbj smoothie :).

Hi there
I was wondering if any of your amazing recipes used all ran cereal. I have a box sitting at my house that I bought for different recipe and didn’t end up needing.
Thanks!
Chocolate Covered Katie says
The pumpkin bread in a bowl or banana bread in a bowl might work with all bran. I also have a bran muffin recipe for the cookbook.

Thanks for asking about serving size 🙂 We tend to make more than a single serving because there are 4 in our family right now and I like to put the rest in the freezer or fridge for having something healthy and delicious to munch on when I’m tempted by other indulgences that may not be as good for me. Love your recipes!

Katie, I love you blog and your recipes. In answer to your question, please always include larger recipes. My son and granddaughter live with me, and even if I was alone, I know there are times when I want a second helping or some to save for later. Thank you for asking.

Katie, I haven’t had a chance to try any of your yummy looking recipes yet (I am a full time nursing student so “extra time” is a phrase that doesn’t cross my lips very often, if at all) but am excited to try them this summer. I just want to say thank you for posting healthy treats and giving the Weight Watchers points values! I have been following WW since February and have lost 24 pounds (Woo hoo) and it is nice to be able to have delicous treats without having to do all of the conversions and substitutions. Keep em coming girl!!

Katie: Never saw your older page design, but the new one looks nice. May I politely suggest that you create a category of healthy blender drinks that includes both fruits and vegetables, with occasional nuts and seeds, organic when necessary, that tastes good. I have just added one of your recipes to my Pinterest site (link supplied). Congratulations, George.

I came across this from your page on Pinterest. Many people do not realize that there are healthy foods that taste delicious. Two weeks ago I tried a cherimoya (custard apple) for the first time and it was so delicious. I invited you to my group board on health.

Dear Katie,
Do you have any recommendations on gaining weight? I am currently suffering from Anorexia Nervosa with a BMI of about 14.8. Your website is my favourite for searching recipes and I am trying to come up with a daily meal plan for myself using a mix of your recipes, as well as my own creations (I love cooking/baking).
Any help would be appreciated! =(^.^)=

Hi Katie,
Is everything on your site vegan? Thanks!

Chocolate Covered Katie says
Yes! Just be sure to use a non-dairy milk when it says “milk of choice” and a non-dairy yogurt when it says “yogurt of choice.” And don’t use honey if that’s ever an option. I’m a vegan, so I don’t ever write recipes that call for eggs or dairy milk. 🙂

Hi! I am unaware of how else to contact you, so sorry if this is an inconvenient or otherwise improper way to ask a question such as this…
I am making a poster for my class on healthy food substitutions, and I would like to use your healthy pie crust recipe on it. Can I use it and say, “courtesy of Chocolate Covered Katie” above it?
In addition, can I used almond butter and a bit of almond milk instead of buttery spread in the recipe?
Thanks!
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Yes, feel free to use it. Haven’t tried it with almond butter, so I can’t say.

Just a comment, a point of confusion… LOL while I love your page, I’m not sure why you are connected to pinterest. I repinned one of your recipes I saw on Pinterest and apparently it was taken down… so you have pinterest links and you have blogs and e-mail lists but you don’t want your recipes shared? Okay…..

I am so sorry! I’m having so many issues with Pinterest lately, and their help center has been COMPLETELY unresponsive. I don’t know what to do except apologize to everyone who’s been contacted. I am so embarrassed, and it’s not even my fault.

Hey Katie. I thought I would drop you a paragraph just to show you some support! Can you believe your blog made it all the way to my South-African kitchen? I absolutely love your blog and especially enjoy your oatmeal recipes. I try a new one every day and have yet to find one I don’t like! I am so excited about your cookbook. I am anxiously awaiting it’s birth and this will be my next amazon.com buy. I firmly believe you are our next Nigella 🙂 We don’t always get the ingredients here that you have in the states, but regardless, I am a faithful follower. Enjoying and loving your blog. Keep on feeding our fantasies with your genius visions of healthy yumminess. Warm South-African greetings.

Great site! I stumbled on to your site while looking for information on coconut butter. I made some in my Vitamix, and it came out great. Now that I’ve spent more time looking through the site, I can’t wait to make some of these vegan delights! Keep up the good work.

Hi Katie,
My nieghbor is a Professional Cake Decorator, and during one of our discussions she mentioned that she likes Red Velvet Cake, but, “All it is a glorified German Chocolate Cake with a lot of Cancerous Red Food Coloring added to it to give it that red color, do you know of anything I can use to make Red Velvet Cake with out using the toxic Red Dye”???
All I could think of was things that are red in color, I dont think Beet Juice would be great in a cake. Would a Cranberry or Red Raspberry or Pomegranite Juice Reduction work, I did not mention these to her,instead I told her about your website and told her I would ask you.
Thanks,
Bob

I recently gave up eating refined sugars. I was making cinnamon rolls that were made without sugar, but I couldn’t find a substitute for the powdered sugar in the glaze… until I found Chocolate Covered Katie! I LOVE your site with so many different delicious looking healthy recipes and your fun blog! Thank you so much, Katie!

Hi Katie. I love your recipes but cringe when i see the words “food processor” in the directions. Will you please tell me what food processor you use? I absolutely hate using mine. It has too many parts to wash and the food that gets under the blades doesn’t get processed.
Thanks! Monica

Hello Miss Katie, as we often say in central Illinois,
I am an attorney who overcame childhood bulbar polio to a great extent through healthy eating and exercise but I was run over almost 5 years ago by a fire emergency vehicle and am still in litigation but banned from driving, lifting, etc and cannot practice or do any of my previous activities due to brain damage and other injuries. I never was much of a meat eater but did keep kosher. After being hit my body completely rejected all meat based foods, except yogurt, sometimes eggs, sometimes fish. Its easier to explain that I am a vegetarian with glutan issues as there seems to be more prejudice against observant Jews than vegetarians or vegans. However, the rules off kashrut are based upon mercy (you don’t eat a calf in its mother’s milk and since you don’t know which you just don’t eat any animal in any milk product, that’s one for instance) Anyway, I really relate t o the joy you have in making and eating and sharing food (another Jewish principle, actually) and your recipes are easy so I can share them with people who have helped me. So, thank you all around.

My infant son has allergies and I’ve had to cut a lot of foods to accommodate. This included corn, soy, egg and dairy. I wanted to thank you for helping me bring back a lot of things I’ve been craving without breaking my strict diet. As his first birthday approaches I was fearing the smash cake, but it seems possible with the frosting on your site. Thanks for sharing your recipes!

Dear KT!
Thank you for your great recipes! I’m glad I am not the only one who believes that food is one of the best enjoyments in life, AND that it shouldn’t kill you either. I love desserts & chocolate too.
I was wondering if you have every tackled a scone recipe?
I tend to lean on the Gluten-Free, low-sugar side & because our son is allergic to all Peanuts/ Tree Nuts, nut free. I’ve found a few recipes I like but a lot of them have almond flour as a base to keep them moist.
Also, do you know of a brand or source of Coconut Oil that is NOT processed in a factory that process other Peanuts/ Tree nuts? How about your blog followers?
I keep finding Coconut oil that is processed in factories where nuts have been processed which is a HUGE “no-no” for peeps w nut allergies. Cross contamination is an issue! BTW–Coconuts are not a NUT & many peeps allergic to nuts aren’t necessarily allergic to coconuts.
Chocolate Covered Katie says
I am unsure about the coconut question… I use Whole Foods brand but don’t know about processing. I’d try googling it. Will definitely work on a scone recipe :).

I just finished making and eating a few(5-6!) of the oatmeal breakfast cupcakes! OM goodness! Yummy! I “may” have accidentally added too many chocolate chips so I’m sure I bombed the healthy aspect of the recipe, but they are so yummy! I made these with my four year old daughter and she loves them as well. mmmmmm. Oh, only problem I ran into is mine won’t peel from the wrapper as beautifully as Katie’s in the photos. Okay next problem is self-control….repeat…” I will not eat another oatmeal cupcake today.” 🙂

I’m Abbie. Firstly I have to tell you that I’ve been following your blog for a while and I LOVE it. I’m trying desperately to be healthy, and your blog is the pretty much the only thing that saves me from white flour and refined sugar. xD (and your pictures are amazing. Which is one of the best things about a food blog.)
I’m a 16 year old girl who has a passion for baking and I was hoping you might be able to take a minute to check out my blog: http://www.everythingneedssalt.blogspot.com . I’m new to this whole blogging world, but I’m excited to start out and I’d really love some followers. 🙂
Thank you so much!

Which is one of the best things about a food blog.)
I’m a 16 year old girl who has a passion for baking and I was hoping you might be able to take a minute to check out my blog: http://www.everythingneedssalt.blogspot.com . I’m new to this whole blogging world, but I’m excited to start out and I’d really love some followers. 🙂
Thank you so much!

Hi Katie!
I am a big fan of your blog and have been following you for a while now after I found out how chocolate can be.
A team of nutritionists and I recently created The Health Benefits (www.TheHealthBenefits.com). TheHealthBenefits.com contains concise and easy to understand articles about various food/nutrition topics. Each editorial piece explains the benefits of certain foods, such as coconut oil, chia seeds, carrots, vitamins, etc. We feature both chocolate and dark chocolate on our site as of now and are always interested in getting more articles on the topic since so many people love it!
The Health Benefits also uses a proprietary rating system where all topics are rated on a 1-10 scale based on their respective health benefits. The website’s contributing authors are nutritionists, fitness instructors, and other high caliber health experts.
We would love if you could take a look at our website and mention us on your site if you think it would be beneficial to your visitors. We also welcome any feedback you have regarding our site.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!
Thanks,
Evan

Hello, Katie!
I just have to thank you for writing this blog and sharing all your recipes with us!
I found you last year, one year after I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. Because of the stomach problems I have, I am unable to eat any processed foods, refined sugars, or anything like that. Your blog has solved it all!
I’m not a vegan, but making your recipes vegan is so helpful to me! My mother can’t eat dairy or eggs, for the sake of allergies in my still-nursing baby sister. It’s so nice not to have to figure out substitutes. Nearly every one of the recipes on this blog is safe for her! While the rest of my perfectly healthy family eats their unhealthy desserts, there’s still something for my mother, baby sister, and me. (Of course, the rest of my family loves your stuff, too!) I bake so many of your recipes and healthy recipes I invented that I’m known as the baker in my family.
My grandma also likes your recipes. She calls them “safe for eating after 2 p.m.,” because they don’t have all the sugars in that keep her awake.
Your recipes are so easy! Ever since my family gave up our house last January for missionary work, we haven’t had any oven, except church ovens, and the puny oven in our trailer, but your raw recipes solve that problem!
Now I’m unable to eat honey, agave, or maple syrup, so it’s so nice that you have so many recipes with stevia! Your blog has changed my life for the better! Last year, I made my mother a healthy cookie platter, because she couldn’t eat anyone else’s Christmas cookies, and I’m doing it again this year, and involving tons of your recipes!
Thank you so much, Katie! You are a beautiful person, very talented in the kitchen, and very funny. Your blog never fails to make me laugh!

Hi Katie. Thank you for your lovely blog and I have been a fan for some time. I decided to sign up for the emailed recipes since I don’t check the blog nearly enough. You will not believe how PISSED I am though now that I have realized it tricked me into signing up for another Google account – Feedburner – which you CANNOT delete. I am frustrated by Google’s data collection practices and choose to be as anonymous as possible and have my activities on the web as separate from Google as possible. Unfortunately, I now have yet ANOTHER account with Google I do not want. Needless to say, I did not continue to sign up for the recipe emails with my brand new Feedburner account. I would urge you to consider using another method for sending out an email subscription or at least warn your users that they are signing up for something and not merely logging into their email. I do however wish you continued luck with the blog.
Chocolate Covered Katie says
My email service was set up by a tech-savvy friend, so I wouldn’t even know how to change it. But I use feedburner as well and have never had any problems with it. However what about trying Bloglovin? It sends emails out as well… and I don’t think it’s associated with google in any way.
Stephanie says
Sorry I was so angry. I do love your blog tons though so I have no problem just checking the site. Please keep the delicious recipes and pictures comin’! : )

Katie,
I am heartbroken to learn that my favorite Silk (Soy) Milk is owned by a huge corporation that owns 50 cow milk companies and is no longer using organic soybeans. I have seen a lot of recipes for homemade soy milk. Do you know how to make soy milk with that awesome Silk texture? If anyone can figure out the secret, it would be you!
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Sorry, I don’t… I usually buy almond milk and therefore hadn’t even heard they were switching.
Maybe try googling “homemade soymilk” and trying out a few of the recipes you find? Good luck!

Thanks Katie…I am gathering info. It am sure it will be an interesting experiment.
I appreciate your response.

Just stumbled upon this site and love it! I have been trying to go veg and possibly vegan as well as drop around 10 lbs. This site will be a huge help in getting there.
Katie…you are adorable and an inspiration. How many calories do you eat on a daily basis to stay so fit?
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Sorry, I don’t actually count… if I had to guess I would say maybe around 3000… maybe more at the moment, as I’m testing extra recipes for the cookbook 🙂

Hi Katie! Could you help me with something?
I have this recipe called “Hot Fudge Pie” I found on pinterest (where I find everything) and its incredibly delicious. But I’ve since given up this beauty, do to the fact it has eggs and butter in it.
Here’s the recipe.
4 ounces unsalted butter, with a bit extra for greasing pie plate
1 ½ squares unsweetened baking chocolate (1.5 ounces)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup All Purpose flour
2 tablespoons milk
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Butter an eight-inch diameter pie plate or cake pan.
Melt butter and chocolate. Cool.
Mix sugar into beaten eggs, combine until sugar is fully incorporated.
Mix in butter-chocolate mixture until completely blended.
Add vanilla and milk. Stir well.
Fold in flour, mixing just until no white streaks remain
Bake for 25 minutes.
I know if anybody could fix this up, it would be you! Thanks! 🙂
Chocolate Covered Katie says
It’s hard to know how a recipe will turn out until I try… but for now, I do have three chocolate pie recipes on the blog: the chocolate bar pie, strawberry truffle pie, and Renee’s girl scout cookie pie. Maybe use one of them as a base for experimenting?

Your blog has wonderful desserts for so many people with different health requirements, but not for diabetics, like me. In fact the so-called “sugar-free” desserts that substitute dates can be down right dangerous for diabetics, more than regular sugar, since dates have a very high glycemic index, higher than that for glucose. The only advantages sweeteners like dates, honey, and maple syrup have are additional nutrients and flavor. Otherwise they have as much potential for damage to a diabetic as regular sugar.
But then the real key to diabetic health is amount, moderation, and timing. As long as I keep that in mind, all the recipes are terrific.

Cool website. I saw a few comments on here relating to the pain it is to print your recipes without a ton of comments. On my website I use a WordPress plugin called Clean Print. Once installed it leaves a small button package at either the top left or right of and article or at the bottom left or right. It allows users to print the pieces of a post or page that they want simply by clicking on pieces to delete from the print. You can even email or save as a pdf file. It’s free and can be found by searching for it through your “install new plugin” section in the admin area of your website.
Keep up the great recipes!
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Thanks! I will definitely look into it! 🙂

Hey there,
I just want to say that I’m OBSESSED with your recipes–they’re all so great and delicious! I love that they use all the healthy ingredients I’m already trying to incorporate into my diet, and that most of them are GLUTEN-FREE. I’ve been gluten-free for two years now and your recipes are some of the best things I’ve tasted since then 🙂
Best wishes and much gratitude,

Chocolate covered Katie… what a funny name for a blog! I mean, don’t tell me your cheeks don’t redden at the thought of anyone you know covered in chocolate. Chocolate covered Ryan Gosling, chocolate covered Brad Pitt… Oh boy! A chocolate covered blog… that’s a different story. But truthfully, I love the name! I think it is so cute 🙂 And I love the blog. Were you born in the kitchen? Because recipes seem to come naturally to you. We mere mortals can only imagine what it is like to be so blessed with talent.

Hi Katie
Super cute blog! I was wondering if you have ever tried the nutritious benefits from grinding your own flour? I started milling my own once I got married and started making homemade bread and the difference in taste from store bought to home milled flour is amazing! Also, the flour you buy at the store has had the germ removed to prolong shelf life which is what has all the nutrients in it. So store bought flour is virtually nutritionless! Since I stated grinding my own flour I’ve decided to turn it into a business so more people can reap the nutritional benefits! My husband is a 5th generation farmer and we grow our own wheat here in Northwest Kansas. I’d love for you to check out my website! And if you like I would love to send you some wheat to try and you could blog about it!
Thanks!! 🙂

I started milling my own once I got married and started making homemade bread and the difference in taste from store bought to home milled flour is amazing! Also, the flour you buy at the store has had the germ removed to prolong shelf life which is what has all the nutrients in it. So store bought flour is virtually nutritionless! Since I stated grinding my own flour I’ve decided to turn it into a business so more people can reap the nutritional benefits! My husband is a 5th generation farmer and we grow our own wheat here in Northwest Kansas. I’d love for you to check out my website! And if you like I would love to send you some wheat to try and you could blog about it!
Thanks!! 🙂

May I please reference your blog on my blog? I would like to provide a link they can just click on that goes right to you. If I can, please provide what link you would like me to use or if your home page is fine. I am very impressed with the recipe’s you have come up with. My blog is Gluten free but I also try to be healthy which isn’t always easy with gluten free and desserts. Thank you.

I know you’ve got a thing for “shot” desserts, and lately you seems to have adopted avocado as your most delicious friend, so when I stumbled upon this recipe while looking for a vegan version of Grasshopper Pie, I immediately thought of you. There seem to be a lot of “plugs” on the site for the California Avocado lol I dunno what this girl has going on with that, but a beautiful recipe nonetheless – enjoy!

Hey I just found out I have celiac. And if you didn’t know what that is it is were you are allergic to gluten. And I am still only 12 so I of course want my chocolate. Do you have any gluten free recipes?
Unofficial CCK Helper says
She has many. Just take a look around on the posts, and many will say gluten free. Or just type “gluten-free” into the search bar. 🙂

Hey,
I have a general question? Do you by chance know the longevity of recipes with the garbanzo beans in them and the choc. frosting shots if I were not going to refrigerate them? Thanks for your time and what you do!!
Chocolate Covered Katie says
The deep dish cookie pie would be fine for a day. I am not so sure about the frosting shots… maybe an hour, or less depending on your climate.
Thomas Smith says
Great, Thanks Katie and love the recipes!!!

I feel like there was a recipe on here for some kind of bar, but now I can’t find it. It had coconut oil, chia seeds, and nuts (I used macadamia), I think. It was a food processor recipe, and then it went in the freezer… Any ideas on that one?
Thanks!

Lorraine says
Hi Katie, Thought I’d let you know that I made your No-bake Chocolate Pumpkin Pie with the Ridiculously Easy Chocolate crust for the first time. It was dessert for our (Canadian) Thanksgiving Dinner. The only change I made was : I subbed 85% cocoa chocolate bar for the chocolate chips (didn’t have any), used 2 tbsp. maple syrup to sweeten it up. Anyway, it was delicious and everyone loved it! Since it is our Thanksgiving weekend I thought it appropriate to thank you for this recipe and your site. Thanks! 🙂

We’ve just had Canadian Thanksgiving, and I made your pumpkin pie without a crust. I switched out the sugar for maple syrup, and it was perfect. Absolutely delicious, and so healthy!
I’ve also made your hot fudge brownie Larabar recipe. Yummmmy!
Thank you for providing such wonderful recipes!

Hi Katie,
For health problems, my wife and I are changing what foods we eat. We thought our days of eating decadent desserts were over. Then we stumbled onto your web site and HALLELUJAH! God has not forgotten us. Thank you so much for all your efforts to make it possible for a couple of life long chocoholics to enjoy desserts again. We want to stock our cupboard with all the right ingredients. I get most of what you mention in your recipes, but being of “advanced” years, we’re still trying to wrap our heads around what hashtag is all about, I don’t get some of the abbreviations you use. Such as “ww”, “gf”, “pb” and such. Again, thank you so much for giving us all a dessert refuge go to when life sometimes throws lemon at us.

Hi Katie!
Have you ever experimented with making your own yogurt? I live in a small town in Upstate NY… with major difficulty finding yogurt! I’ve tried the crockpot version with almond milk, using almond yogurt as my starter, and adding tapioca flour before to thicken, and although it turns into yogurt, it’s very runny… just wondering, you are able to perform miracles with everything else 🙂 Thanks so much, and i LOVE your blog and can’t wait for your cookbook to come out!!!!

I’ve made coconut yogurt with great success. I use full fat coconut milk (from a can – highest fat content you can find) – usually almost 4 cups worth (I think that is about 2 cans), and then tapioca to thicken (about 3 tbsp). I also add a bit of agave or maple syrup for the bacteria (1 tbsp or so). I heat it until just boiling and make sure the tapioca is in there for some of the boiling part (mix the starch in with a bit of hot coconut milk in a cup before adding it to the main mix or you end up with lumps of tapioca starch). Then let it cool down to about 110F, temper some starter with about 1 cup of coconut milk before adding it to the whole batch (to cheat, i sometimes use starter from bought coconut So Delicious yogurt but if you can find other starter, go for it). Then it goes into my yogurt maker for about 6 or 7 hours. I’ve tried almond yogurt with not much success, and I prefer the taste of coconut yogurt anyways.
I found a few websites that also make it similarly http://www.culturesforhealth.com/make-coconut-milk-yogurt-recipe

I just wanted to let you know that I’m a college student athlete who lives by eating healthy. I’m a total health freak. It’s always been so hard for me to find “healthy” recipes because they all seemed to use refined sugars and such but still list them as healthy. Very deceiving. This website is the best thing I’ve ever seen. It’s absolutely incredible. I made all of you’re no bake desserts because I live in a dorm…but they all work out incredible and my boyfriend and I haven’t been more impressed with how good everything taste. This is my go-to website for any recipe I need…so thank you for having a website that really is healthy and delicious!

I just found your site a few weeks ago and love it! I think looking through all the recipes is as addictive as making and eating them 😉 Thanks for all your hard work getting these together! I love experimenting with chocolate (and food in general) but I’m still learning in a few areas. One question: I have been trying to make chocolate-covered almonds using coconut oil and cocoa powder but haven’t had any success yet. Have you ever tried? I want the kind of amonds that have a solid dark chocolate coating (not roiled in cocoa powder or powdered sugar). And I want to use cocoa powder to make the chocolate coating rather than just melting a chocolate bar down. Ideas?

I have a lot of allergies (like seriously a lot…) and have done the same as you are doing with recepies, take things i like but switch ingredients with the ones I tolerate to make it for me. I also love to treat my body as a temple, so no refined stuff but instead organic and natural. Got so glad to find your website. Really love it. Two thumbs up! Ps. Live in Sweden, so you have followers here aswell 🙂

I just want to thank you from my heart. What you have done is revolutionize deserts by taking them to a level of high nutrition without sacrificing anything. Your recipes actually elevate and enhance the deserts to leave them even better than the original. The best part is you make it simple with both the ingredients and cooking procedure. It’s pure genius and now I can have desert and eat it too. I have shared your website with family and friends and hope that we can all enjoy these fine deserts during the holidays together. I always wanted to do this but never had the time. Thank You so very much, it’s just wonderful and will be bookmarked for sure.

I found your website this year when I was experimenting with a vegan diet (trying to take my vegetarian lifestyle one step further) and fell in love with it at first sight. I absolutely love the way you put your heart and soul into your website, your recipes, and in your blog. You seem like such an amazing person and you are such an inspiration. I have never been a great cook but ever since I found your website I have found myself experimenting more and more. Please keep up the great work Ms. Katie, I look forward to all your upcoming recipes and just your little blogs about yourself, your opinions, and anything and everything!
Are you thinking about publishing a cookbook by the way? If so I definitely would love to know so I could pre-order in advance ;)!
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Thank you so much, Stacey!
The book is not available until late 2014… but I will definitely post on the blog when pre-ordering is available.

Thank you for the work you put in your site and recipes. We have four children, three with food allergies. With a few substitutions we can eat most of the recipes, and my kids LOVE them. Thanks for putting smiles back on their faces!

LOVE your recipes!!!!! I am NEW at cooking/baking and your guilt-free recipes really helped me with not only easy recipes, but satisfying that sweet tooth!! You’ve allowed me to realize how easy it can be to substitute unhealthy ingredients for better options and it’s made baking really fun and creative. Made the Butternut Squash soup the same day you posted it, and it was a HUGE hit. Your blog is one of my favorites and I can’t tell enough people about it. Very inspiring 🙂 Happy holidays and keep those yummy recipes coming!! xxoo

Hey, Katie! I’ve been making your desserts for awhile now because every single one that I’ve tried is to die for. I was hoping you could answer a question for me? 🙂
I’m starting a food blog pretty soon–probably mostly cooking, but I’d like to include some baked goods in it. I love baking, but I always use a recipe. I was just wondering how you actually come up with recipes! Was it just a lot of trial and error in the beginning?
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Yes, a ton of trial and error (more error than not). I would probably start by looking closely at other recipes… good recipes will often follow some of the same ratios. For example, there is a certain amount of sugar/flour/fat/salt in a cake, and that differs from brownies or cookies… after a while, you start to get good at knowing the ratios that work. And then comes the fun part of making up your own recipes :).

Theres no cost to you, and no hard feelings if you don’t like our ideas. But if you know anything about silicone cupcake liners, or are simply interested in getting more readers and exposure to your site, let me know, and I’ll be happy to give you the details about what were offering here.

Chocolate Covered Katie says
Hi Matt,
I would be honored if you listed my site on the pamphlets. Thank you for even thinking of me!
In terms of sharing the entire recipes, I guess it would depend on which recipes… ones going in the cookbook can’t be shared for copyright reasons.

Can I use Pomegranates to replace dates in the sugar babies? If not do you have a receipe to use Pomegranates? Thanks. I love the sugar babies.
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Sorry, I have never tried.
I don’t think I have any pom recipes, although you can definitely add them to some of the other recipes… like maybe the Coconut Cool Whip? https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2011/08/16/vegan-cool-whip/
Or add them to parfaits with crumbled up muffins :).

Just wanted to say a huge TY! Hate that the south gets represented by Paula Dean : p – about time someone gets heard for recipes that don’t all begin with 1/2lb of bacon and 2 sticks of butter (although I love both those ingredients…). Followed/shared you and honestly cannot decide which recipe to make first because about every other one looks amazing. As a former big dude with not much of a sweet tooth either, love to see that it can be occasionally pacified with healthy versions. So thanks!

Hi Katie,
First, thank you for sharing your chocolate recipes. I have a question about the white chocolate recipe. I just tried to make it and I ended up with sludge at the bottom of the pan. I filtered all of that out and put the liquid into the freezer. I’m hoping it turns out. My question is… Did I possibly use too much powdered sugar? I’m just wondering why I ended up with some solids in the mixture at the beginning.
Thank you for your time and input,
Dianna
Unofficial CCK Helper says
You could have used too much, or maybe not stirred enough? I had success with that recipe, but I’ve only tried it once and it was awhile ago.

I’ve been loving your website, thanks for your deliciousness. As a person who can’t eat sugar, I was using agave – until now. There is so much anti-agave talk out there, i decided better not use it. i’m trying coconut sugar and xylitol, but having trouble with both – especially in your 3-ingredient chocolate bars, which had become my staple!! Neither melt very easily. I don’t live in the US & got those two alternatives on a trip there. Now i find they don’t do well in that recipe – at least the ways i’ve been trying. I can’t find the stevia here that you suggest. Will you start trying coconut sugar in some of your recipes? I’m sure you’ll fine a way to make it work!! Thanks –

Megan says
Hi Katie – love your blog. So many yum.
I do have a question, though – you use the word “healthy” a lot to describe the treats. But I’m not often clear on what the health benefits are to these recipes. Are they just less bad than the alternative? I ask because it seems like there’s a misconception that vegans and vegetarians are, by default, always healthier people, which is not necessarily true. After all, there is a ton of junk food with no animal product in it.
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Hi Megan,
It depends on the recipe. Some are “not as bad” for you, but most will also have fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Anything with whole-grain flour will have fiber, some of the recipes have vegetable or fruit servings, and anything with blackstrap molasses is very high in iron and calcium.

I’m a brand new fan… someone posted one of your recipes on Facebook, and it lured me in 🙂 You have SO many recipes that I want… have you ever done a cookbook? If not, then you should really consider it. I would love to have all of these recipes compiled into a handy resource (I’m not very techno-savvy, so I like the old-fashioned cookbook-in-my-hand). Just something to think about…
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Thank you so much, Mickey! I have a cookbook coming out in December of this year… I’m really excited about it! Your comment really meant a lot to me :).

HI Katie!
I have been enjoying your recipes so much. Thank you for sharing with everyone. I have been searching for a HEALTHY “cracker” recipe. I know this isn’t dessert or chocolate related, but I love healthy homemade soups and stews and I would love a healthy cracker without refined flour and sugar! I appreciate your consideration. Thank you! I am off to make German Chocolate Fudge bites, my favorite!

Dear CCK,
Love your website and your photo exudes health and happiness.
I need your help.
I do expedition canoe and kayak races and I have a 5 day race coming up soon. It is down the Gulf Coast through the Everglades and to to keys. Unsupported. I usually eat a lot of bars, figs, dates, nuts etc and do not cook unless weatherbound .
I really like the nutritional breakdown of your bars. I like to eat about 250 cal a hour, 20 hours a day (5000 cal a day) with about 130 – 180 cal per hours coming from carbohydrates. Your Larabars are perfect for that.
Here are my issues that I need help with.
1) Caffeine. I love my coffee and I would like to put some coffee or ground up coffee beans in the bars. Have your experimented with a caffeinated version?
2) Shelf life. Obviously no refrigeration. I would like to make these bars in advance and refrigerate until my road trip to florida. Travel time to race is about 2 weeks all in all and then 5 days on the water. I could keep cool in cooler until race but then they are on their own. I could vacuum seal. Ingrediants have good shelf life as individuals so i figure the bars should also. Have you any experience in shelf life or any tips on how to extend?
Thank you so much. Love your page. My middle spawn has type I diabetes and loves to cook and eat. I am sending him the link.
Sincerely
C. R. Wolfe M.D.

I’ve only read a few blogs/recipes on your site and already am in love. Thanks for such an awesome site featuring recipes that work with my dairy/gluten/soy/sugar free restrictions, and with funny dialogue to boot. Awesome. I, too, have a hard time following recipes (i.e. impossible) but will try to follow yours. 🙂

Hi Katie,
i know this is unlikely so i’m 90% expecting a no, but i had to ask just in case. i was wondering if you’d be interested in trying a recipe for me.
Shortened long boring story: my issues with food led me to working really hard trying to create something healthy and i’ve come up with the basics for a meal im willing to try but i still find it all very overwhelming and havent been able to get the exact measurements figured out . i thought it might be interesting to you and you might want to try it too so we could both get something out of it.
Its a protein/ cereal, fruit, nut, crunchy/ granola type bar. The bit i have to perfect, that you might find fun to experiment with is how much psyllium husk and water to use to bind it.
Again, i know its ridiculous to expect someone to try a recipe for me, but after so many failed attempts at even making it into the store for all the ingredients, i remembered your blog from the days i liked cooking and thought you might actually WANT to try it.
Anyway, thanks for reading either way.
Take care.

Hi Katie,
I am an American-Israeli living in Israel and I love your website! As a newly vegan who loves baked goods, your website was a godsend! I just wanted to give you a friendly recommendation – I use a lot of tehina (sesame seed paste) in my baking in place of peanut butter. If you think peanut butter’s healthy, then you have to check out tehina! I’m not sure if it’s readily available where you live, but if so – give it a shot in chocolate chip cookie and brownie recipes. It works really well as a butter replacement!
Thanks for all the great recipes!

Hi Katie,
I am an American-Israeli living in Israel and I love your website! As a newly vegan who loves baked goods, your website was a godsend! I just wanted to give you a friendly recommendation – I use a lot of tehina (sesame seed paste) in my baking in place of peanut butter. If you think peanut butter’s healthy, then you have to check out tehina! I’m not sure if it’s readily available where you live, but if so – give it a shot in chocolate chip cookie and brownie recipes. It works really well as a butter replacement!
Thanks for all the great recipes!
Kim

The beauty of Falun Dafa and it’s persecution in China
Dear friend, please take a moment to read this important information:
Falun Dafa is a cultivation system in the Buddha School that is saving people and is based on the principles of the Universe:
真 Truthfulness
善 Compassion
忍 Forbearance.
Since 1999 it has been brutally persecuted by the CCP in China. Practitioners are tortured in labor camps and even have organs harvested simply because of their faith. Millions practitioners died due to torture for the past more than 14 years of persecution.

Dear Katie,
Just wanted to thank you for your great website. I am writing you from the Netherlands and 1,5 years ago I started to live sugar free, which was quite the challenge. However, because of you I can still eat all kinds of chocolate treats :).
Good luck with all that you do and just a question: how do you stay so slim with all the tasting and making desserts?

These treats are healthier versions of regular baked goods, so as long as you’re replacing what you’d normally eat with these, not going overboard or still eating the other treats as well, you should be fine. Just listen to your body.

Do you have recipes for using chocolate in savory dishes? Like chocolate or cocoa powder in chili, for example? I’ve heard it can be used in salad dressing, all kinds of things.
Thank you,

Hi Katie,
I was curious to look at other chocolate themed blogs since I myself have one. I really like the approach you took when you combined chocolate and healthy together. I think that was smart since a lot of people want to be healthy, but they still want their sweets. All the recipes you have on this blog look so delicious! They don’t even look like it could be healthy. I have a big to do list when it comes to trying all the recipes I want to try. I do have a question. Did you create all these recipes?

Love your no guilt chocolate chip cookies. But — you say they are 23 calories each — impossible! How did you calculate that? My calculations are 1/4 + 1/3 cup flour 300 calories, 1/3 chocolate chips 420 cal., 2 tbsp. brown sugar 90 cal., 1 tbsp veg oil 120 cal., and 3 tbsp milk approx. 50 cal. That’s 950 calories divided by 7 cookies, that’s 135 calories. Could you please explain your calorie court? — they are delicious though!

Are these recipes strictly vegan? I am looking to bake more with honey and maple syrup, over sugar/splenda/xylitol/etc. Can you recommend any recipes that would work, or that I could make the substitute in without ruining the texture?
Thanks for the great recipes!

Don’t know if I should say, “Thank you” or darn you! I made the homemade nutella after loving it for years overseas. It is DELICIOUS! OK, it is a little time consuming, yet the result is better than the original without all the gunk. It’s so great not having to give up the taste I love in the better than the original version you created. Alright – thank you!

In fact, I actually check your blog for new posts 3 times a day… 🙂 I might be obsessed. So, recently, I started my own vegan cooking blog, and I wanted some tips(if you have any) on what you think would be the best way to start off a new blog. If you don’t have any tips, then that’s fine, I understand! Thank you, anyways!

Hi Katie!
You have TONS of comments throughout your blog so I debated whether or not to leave one, but I decided that I must. I am so thankful to have stumbled upon your blog. I can’t even remember what I googled that brought me to your site. I am trying to go fully vegan and have found it to be somewhat of a struggle, until I found your amazing recipes. YAY! My daughter and I even attended a local vegan cooking class but the food was so unflavorful, except for the “cheese” made from cashews and nutritional yeast. Literally, it was the only thing either of us liked the whole 6 weeks. I have only tried a few recipes of yours but I plan to dive into them with joy over the next few months. Thank you for working and creating in the kitchen and then sharing freely with all of us on the web. To me, you are known as 3B Katie: Beautiful, Brilliant and a Blessing.
Best Wishes,
Rebecca (and all my vegan food samplers)

Dear Katie,
Recently I have discovered that I am allergic to dairy, eggs and gluten. I have adapted quickly to cutting foods out that hurt my body and have become very creative in my dishes. I used to bake all the time and I was having such an issue cutting out all these ingredients and still trying to bake something that tasted some what good. But now all my problems are solved!!!! I typed in Google “gluten, dairy, egg free desserts” and stumbled upon your page. I have tried SOOOOOOOOOO many of your recipes and seriously love them all!!!!! My favorites to make is your Pumpkin Pie and Cookie Dough Dip!
Thanks you so much for sharing all your amazing recipes to the World! You have allowed myself to bake again and indulge in my favorite meal of the day… dessert :)!!!!

I just ran into your website and am intrigued! I hope this doesn’t sound rude ( I truly am curious!)…what makes these recipes “healthy” from original recipes? Is it a lower calorie thing, using artificial sweetener vs white sugar, a more vegan approach? I’m just always trying to learn more about health and would love to soak in your knowledge for better health! Thank you so much:)

Apparently it’s been said before (like a million times) but what a great website. We’ve been vegan for a couple years now and I have gathered a fair number of staple recipes that I drag out on a weekly basis. But my repertoire is sadly lacking in goodies. I see cookies and cakes in my future. Thank you Katie.

Hey Katie…
I just had to take a minute to say that you have changed my life. I thank God that you do what you do and that I stumbled upon a posting on Facebook!
I have had serious health challenges in the last 18 months. I’m no longer in the it’s in your best interest to eat better stage…I’m in the if you don’t change your eating habits, you will die mode (partially due to genetics and a lot due to unhealthy lifestyle). I like to cook but I love to bake! One of my favorite things to do while baking was to sneak a nibble of cookie dough or what have you. Butter, cream cheese and sugar were my good friends. It wasn’t hard to change the lifestyle because not changing means certain death. But I have a sweet tooth bigger than life. I found a recipe posted on FB for cookie dough dip using beans. I figures that I had nothing to lose when trying it. Wow! It was really good! I’ve tried several of your recipes and really liked them. I love that you use beans and nut butters. My sweet tooth is satisfied and I haven’t used butter, oils or shortening. A member of my medical team even “approved” the recipes for my use. I keep cookie dough dip prepared and when those 3 p.m. sweet cravings begin, I reach for a banana and my dip. Thank you Katie. Your recipes have enriched my life.

Thanks so much for the great blog! I’ve shared it with all my coworkers and it almost always comes up in conversations with friends. My current crush is chick pea blondies – I’ve made them a million times and never tell anyone what they’re made of until they’re hooked, too. Keep up the great work. Your recipes are amazing and a life saver for a gluten free, lower carb gal like me!

Hi Katie, I, too, love your website. My love (and addiction) for chocolate is sabotaging my diet. Lunch and Dinner don’t seem complete without something chocolate. I need to lose a lot of weight. I don’t buy cookies or cakes or ice cream. After lunch I might have Greek yogurt (plain, fat free) with sugar free chocolate syrup, a sprinkle of instant coffee for mocha flavor, sugar free whipped cream, something crunchy like rice chex cereal mixed in, and a little Splenda. the whipped cream is only 20 calories for two tablespoons. After supper I might have two chocolate rice cakes with a tiny smear of peanut butter for flavor. I don’t feel that these are high calorie desserts but I don’t seem to lose any weight. Can you think of a similar, but, lighter calorie substitute for the special mixture I am making with yogurt? I like dark chocolate and like the mocha flavor but need to trim some calories off of that dessert. Any ideas?
Thanks, Jane C.
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Sorry, I’m not sure… I do like Wholesoy yogurt, but I don’t know how that would compare, calorie-wise, to Greek. But good luck! 🙂

Hi Katie
Thank you for your food blog and sharing your recipes. While they don’t all suit each eating plan in our house they are also so easy to adapt and ALL of the recipes I’ve made taste amazing. This has given healthy food a new lease of life.
I wanted to say special thank you for carrying on your blog as I just read your email re rumors about you and weight etc. There are millions of people who read the internet, so there are going to be a handful of people who will be vindictive. They are everywhere and not to be paid attention to. The content of your website is the most important thing. My favorite recipe on your site is healthy nutella. Here’s a thought, if you find yourself thinking about negative comments change the thought pattern to the children out there who are getting an amazing dose of antioxidants each time they have nutella made with raw chocolate simply because you took the time to post it on the internet. Thank you again for your amazing recipes. It makes being a Mum feeding really healthy food to her family a bit easier.

Dear Chocolate Covered Katie,
Thank you so much for creating this website! I’m about to start high school and have been battling anorexia for about a year now when I stumbled across your website. I happen to be vegan too and this was like a treasure trove to me when I found it! My main point is, you helped me to realize that I can eat HEALTHILY, and not have to starve myself. It was only when I saw that you that I realized that I could change. Thank you so much ( again ) !!!!! You and your blog have changed my life!
BTW Love your recipes !

hi katie!
I absolutely love your website and have only made a few of your recipes but looking forward to trying more! I don’t mean to be a debbie downer, but I noticed you use xylitol in most of your recipes. As a health conscious person, I always like to know background on unfamiliar ingredients and goods. With all of the GMO talk and potential issues on this sugar substitute, have you considered using another type of sweetener that will still make your recipes healthy and delicious? Do you recommend another sugar?
Keep doing what you are doing-You are super talented!

I have to give you a big huge thank you. A couple of weeks ago I found out I was diabetic, on top of this I already had gluten allergy that I was fighting to handle. My hubby and kids have a sweet tooth bigger than Texas and I was having problems finding treats that I could make them that tasted good and yet stayed with in my major diet restrictions. You have given me hope. Your site has so much to offer that I am eager to get going on your recipes and try them out on my family. Major thanks. 🙂
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Aw thank YOU. And good luck with your new lifestyle… I will keep you in my thoughts 🙂

Hey Katie! I love your recipes so much, they are so awesome. I’ve made so many of them and so far, they all were amazing and mind blowing. Before I found your blog, I seriously thought I’d have to give up desserts forever when I went vegan. I was totally wrong! Your blog totally helped me find my love for chocolate, and helped me realize I could be vegan and still eat chocolate.
Recently I’ve been noticing I haven’t been getting enough fat grams everyday (only 10-20 grams a day!), and even worse, I’m underweight, so this basically isn’t doing me any good. I was wondering if you had any place where I could view your recipes high in fat and calories? Even just a page where I can view your recipes that have nut butters in them will work… I adore peanut butter, so that would be great. Thanks! Hope you keep blogging for years to come (:
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Yes, definitely! I think my favorite high-fat recipe is the Black Magic Peanut Butter. SO ADDICTIVE 🙂
But coconut butter from the jar is pretty addictive as well. And there’s a high calorie post https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2012/03/04/my-high-calorie-recipes/
And a peanut butter tag: https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/tag/peanut-butter/

Thanks for what you do 🙂 just wanted you to know that I’m glad you’re doing what you’re doing, and I’m thankful for you!

Hi Katie,
I am excited I found your blog. I am anxious to try your Coconut Crack Bars. Except I will use brown rice syrup instead of agave or maple syrup. I usually buy these at the healthfood store. However, it can be a pit pricey. Yours look exactly like the bars I have been purchasing. Thank you again.
P.S. ….you look very healthy and happy and gorgeous.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for this wonderful blog. My husband and I are both pastry cooks (specializing in gluten-free and vegan baking). we both have culinary degrees, but I am struggling to find a job where I can utilize my skills. Our dream is to open up our own completely gluten-free, vegan bakery. In the mean time, though, when I find myself at home with an urge to bake, it is this blog that I turn to most for inspiration.

Thank you so much for all of your hard work. I love every recipe I have tried from your site. Your idea to use Sugar cookie tea to make oatmeal is pure genius (I already have 3 boxes of this tea, I stock up on that and candy cane lane every Christmas!) I hate reading that people talk negatively about you sometimes, but haters gonna hate 🙂 you are my hero <3

Hello Katie
I LOVE your site so much! I have been following you regularly for the past few years since I first stumbled upon your site. I also follow your instagram posts and love the treats that I always find! A while back you wrote a piece about savory oatmeal and whether or not it would be as popular as say, a peanut butter variety. I am currently living in India and stumbled across just that, savory oat sachets. I’m not sure if you accept mail but I would love to send you out a few flavors for something different. Maybe a bit of inspiration to try out your own creation. Please feel free to email me an address if this sounds interesting.
Again, huge fan and I love your posts and would love to keep hearing more about your life journey 🙂

Hello, a lady in my allergy group suggested that I would ask you. I am trying to find a recipe to resemble the Enjoy Life Cocoa Loco Chewy bars. I have two very picky boys with food allergies and I was honestly surprised that they loved these but they are so expensive. My boys don’t like any other kind of granola bars, that are chewy and has oats or granola texture. We deal with peanut, tree nut and sesame allergy so they don’t have to be gluten free, just trying to find something that would resemble the texture of these bars that I can make for them and save some money. TIA and I look forward looking around on your site!

I’ve not had that particular bar, but maybe try one of these? What about the Chocolate Brownie Larabars (on page two of the following link)? Those are awesome! https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/category/healthy-blondies-and-bars/
Andrea RR says
Thank you for your reply! If I am looking at the right ones, I would unfortunately not be able to make those as they contain nuts. I will check the other bars you have on that page above and see if I can find something. Thanks!

Thank you for all the time and work you give making your recipes. As a sugarholic/chocoholic person who has dieted on and off all my life, I no longer have to worry about gaining weight back. Changing my diet was so much easier with all your delicious healthy recipes. I never use sugar or white flour anymore, yet have so many options…..thanks to you. There’s no reason to go “on” or “off” a diet anymore. I am on a healthy diet and will stay that way.

Katie! I stumbled upon your website and I have to say I’m so excited to find healthy dessert options! Ive always wanted to try a recipe that uses veggies in desserts, like in my cook yourself thin cookbook, but haven’t. I’m excited to see how delicious your recipes look and sound-from yourself and others. Not just for me, but for my lil ones. I happened upon you through your cookie dough dip. I’d love to try it for my 2yr old, who loves chickpeas, and whom we have on a healthy diet. However, she cannot have milk, almond milk, coconut milk, etc. Can you help with a ssubstitute for the milk/milk alternative in this recipe?! And if you’re feeling generous, for other non-dairy recipes! You will making a very special 2yr old very happy and her Momma very thankful. Thank you much! 🙂

I’d love to try it for my 2yr old, who loves chickpeas, and whom we have on a healthy diet. However, she cannot have milk, almond milk, coconut milk, etc. Can you help with a ssubstitute for the milk/milk alternative in this recipe?! And if you’re feeling generous, for other non-dairy recipes! You will making a very special 2yr old very happy and her Momma very thankful. Thank you much! 🙂

I’m supposed to make some sort of protein packed bar for my school’s blood drive and I was wondering what you would recommend. I’d like to make pumpkin bars or blondies but somehow work protein in there through powder or some extra protein foods. What would be easy to switch out for protein powder and/or what recipes are especially protein packed? Thanks!
Unofficial CCK Helper says
How about these?

Hi Katie – you are one of my FAVORITE go-to’s for great recipes! I’m looking for a new breakfast recipe that you can make at night with quinoa, protein powder and even some chia would be ok. I had a recipe that used mashed banana and almond butter but that really jacked up the sugars and fats (yes good kind but too many for me). Can you help me?????
Unofficial CCK Helper says
Try this one! You can always add chia too. https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2013/09/30/breakfast-quinoa/

Hi Katie! Just wondering…what do you do with your recipes that aren’t quite perfected? I just made 2 pumpkin pies (not your recipe, of course) that aren’t the best, but they aren’t THAT terrible. I don’t want to just throw them away, but I’m not sure what else to do with them. Thanks!

Hi Kaite,
I’ve been following you for a couple of years but never thanked you for your amazing and delicious recipes! I, like you, like to cook and make things super healthy. Unlike you, most of my things end up not working and tasting pretty bad. I am continuously amazed at how yummy your food is, and how easy it is. I am currently savoring your Chocolate Pumpkin Pizookie! I also LOVE your Gingerbread cake. My hubby is a chocoholic and I regularly feed him your recipes and he loves them as much as me. I also wanted to thank you for not putting recipes in oz and lbs cause I live in Australia and have to convert everything. I only ask one thing, More please 🙂 I have preordered your book and cant wait to get it!!! Thanks again for doing all the work and making my healthy world yummy, you awesome Chicky!

Just wanted to say thank you. I LOVE all of your ideas, and have a great time trying these recipes out. Any chance you could do more experimenting with honey instead of sugar? I wish I could use maple syrup, but it’s too expensive in Ireland.
Unofficial CCK Helper says
When a recipe calls for maple syrup, you can always use honey instead. They are both liquid sweeteners with the same level of sweetness.

Hello, I am Alyssa and for my school project I have tried out some of your recipes. The zucchini muffins tasted great, and when making the homemade cliff bars I used wow butter instead of peanut butter since my sister is nut free. It was a great combination with the strawberry taste and the wow butter although it was very challenging to find freeze dried fruit. Do you know a good place to purchase freeze dried fruit? I also made the oatmeal cupcakes, but they tasted bland and there was not much flavour. What could be the cause for this and would adding more sugar help? One last question, I have seen that some of your recipes call for protein powder and I was wondering if this is a healthy option for athletes or is it better to get your protein in daily foods? Thanks so much and I love your desert blog!!!!!!

This is a little weird, but I put your cookie dough dip with the dates on EVERYTHING! It is really delicious and for breakfast, I have it with a bit of soft bread or a banana. In your cake batter energy bars, I found macadamia nut butter works really well and has a buttery taste that I like better than the cashews. Your recipes overall are really good. Keep up the good work!

Each time they eat it they say at the top of their lungs “THANK YOU KATIE!!!!”. So here is a grateful mom saying at the top of my lungs, “THANK YOU KATIE!!!! We appreciate you!

I also intend on trying to bake some of your vegetable-based recipes as one of my next attempts. Of course!
But I’d also value your advice on how you got such a great website up and running… Any hints & tips?

Thought I’d mention what I just tried because it worked really well! If you have Katie’s cookbook, I subbed dried blueberries for 1/4 of the dates in her chocolate balls recipe in the book. Tasted like chocolate blueberry pie!

MER says
I’m so glad to have found your website! I was looking at your Nutella chocolate milk recipe and thought I’d let you know how to really boost up the protein. I had bariatric surgery in late September of last year, so I’m always looking for ways to boost my protein without adding too many carbs. I the process of learning about the surgery and the best way to eat, I found out about the most absorbable protein, 100% protein isolate protein powder. There are a few brands that are all protein isolate: UNJURY (“Chocolate Splendor” is the bomb), Genepro and Syntrax Nectar. I mix 1 scoop of UNJURY Chocolate Splendor with 8 oz. of SILK unsweetened soymilk + a little Sweet N’ Low. Anyway, you could just add Nutella to the UNJURY chocolate protein shake in the blender. I think it will taste awesome! I definitely will try it tomorrow! One recipe I luuuuv is to mix the UNJURY Chocolate Splendor with 1 1/2 Tb. malted milk powder and, of course, a little Sweet N’ Low to boost the sweetness. It comes VERY close to a chocolate malt! Can you tell I have a sweet tooth???
Thanks for the blog recipes. I’ll definitely try some!

He’s anxiously waiting for some new chocolate anything! I just don’t know how you are able to stay so slim with test tasting all of the delisiousness you make. I have recently lost 60 lbs and feel so lucky to be able to make and best of all eat these great desserts!! I think I make the black bean chocolate brownies at least 3 times a week. Constantly passing them out to everyone I know and at work. When they see me coming in with a packkage they know it’s something good! I can hardly wait to get my hands on your cookbook. Thanks again! Ciao 🙂

Katie… I have been following your blog for quite some time. I have used xylitol in the past and have run out. In doing an online search it seems that there are strong opinions on xylitol from corn vs birch sources and also pharmaceutical vs food grade. You use xylitol a lot in your recipes, do you have an opinion? i am technically challenged and do not know how I will be able to receive an answer you give me… if you do respond please email me at stephsownemail@gmail.com

Katie, I think your blog is the best anywhere on the internet for healthy desserts….thank you for all the time you take to develop the recipes and write your stories. I have a question about agave. I use the best organic blue agave I can find. Lately I have been reading articles questioning the value of agave and how healthy it really is. They are saying it is “far worse than high fructose corn syrup”. Can you comment on that? IF you have before, please direct me to a link. I don’t eat gluten or white sugar. I love using agave because the glycemic index is so low. It keeps me eating the wrong things because I don’t get sugar cravings. Therefore I stay on a healthy diet and don’t feel deprived. Thanks!

I think your Banana Bread will be a BIG HIT with her class! See the video here: https://youtu.be/KtKXcWxkaYU

Are the recipes in the cookbook different from the recipes on the blog ?
Unofficial CCK Helper says
Yes! The book is mostly new recipes that are not published anywhere else. Katie wrote that this is to ensure those who buy the book are getting their money’s worth with the purchase.

Katie,
Thank you for all that you do on this blog. I have been a follower of yours for quite a few years now and I always recommend your amazing, delicious recipes to friends, family, and colleagues! As I am currently in the process of becoming a Registered Dietitian, I understand personally and also know through patients and clients that I have spoken with, that dessert is always a HUGE downfall. Your blog and your recipe book are both items that I will continue to use as well as recommend to others. Thank you again for all your delicious recipes! If you have the time, I would love for you to view my own personal blog at http://www.colombod2.wordpress.com.

Dear Katie,
This past year I have been diagnosed with IBS and slow motility of my digestive tract, and my doctor has put me on the FODMAP diet. In this diet I have found dozens of foods which hurt my digestive system and make my stomach churn and cramp. This list of foods has restricted me to a gluten-free, dairy-free, corn-free, no apples, pears, peaches, broccoli, garlic, or onions lifestyle–along with many more foods which I am sensitive to. On this list of foods is also beans, which is a main ingredient in the Bob’s Red Mill Gluten free flour. I am a huge fan of your recipes, and always look forward to trying new desserts from your recipe inbox. Are there any other flour, flour combination, or baking mixes which you find work well in your recipes, but does not include beans in the ingredients?
Thank you,
Hope

Sometimes, depending on the recipe, you can successfully sub oat flour. Or sorghum if you use xantham gum.

OMG, made the flourless chocolate chip brownie yesterday. Used coconut nectar and maple syrup. I baked it 21 minutes and it was fudgy for sure. I hope all your readers make this. I sent the recipe to a friend in Australia. She’ll make it soon. Thanks for all the good recipes.

I love your blog and your recipes, and so do my clients. I am a registered dietitian. I just would like to know what database you use to analyze your recipes?? I would like to compare it to the one I am using. It’s pretty close.

If you replace the word “zucchini” with the word “spinach” you can find a link to all the recipes she has that contain spinach. There are also some sneaky veggie recipes in her cookbook!

Hiya Katie, you probably get tonnes of messages but I just wanted to say thank you for all you do. This blog is such a difference from all the other food blogs, I commend you for trying to make your recipes as TRULY healthy as possible. (Don’t get me wrong, the other food blogs are great but you really know your stuff!!) For me as a lil’ teenage girl from NZ,(Lord of the Rings country) finding your blog has made creating healthy recipes so much easier. I’ve had lots of fun trying out you Americans’ flavours and I can now say I am a peanut butter addict and a pumpkin spice/pie lover! Keep sharing your ideas with people because you’re really changing the stigma around healthy eating and your probably saving peoples’ lives in the long run! God bless you Katie. :*

Hi Katie! Am loving your blog – thank you! I have IBS (among other things – ha ha) and am wondering what would be the best sweetened to substitute for xylitol, which is a no no for me. Also wondering what i could substitute for apple sauce – both of these are not good for IBS-ers and they are frequent in your recipes. Thanks – Going to make a chocolate mug cake now – thanks!!
Unofficial CCK Helper says
When xylitol is an option in a recipe, you can use any granulated sugar– coconut sugar, date sugar, white sugar, evaporated cane juice, etc. For applesauce, you can always experiment with pumpkin or bananas!

I appreciate your recipes and your work to do things a different way with new/different ingredients along with some that are traditional!
Just wondering, I must have missed the number of servings for the chocolate peanut butter banana bread email this morning…how many are there per recipe?
Thanks again: )

Hy Katie! I’ve been looking for a blog like this for a while, because I recently went on a diet and giving up dessert was the hardest part… i never realised how many calories were in just one slice of cheesecake! Taking our favourite desserts and putting a healthier spin on them is a great and I have to say, necessary idea! 🙂 Thanks and keep it up!

Hi Katie!! I was on Pinterest looking for recipes & found a cool recipe for pizza crust using just flour and greek yogurt, and it got me thinking about a pie crust. I’ve been thinking of it for a while, wondering how to make pie crust a little healthier, and wondered if you could make a pie crust using just flour and yogurt- what do you think?? Just thought I would put a little ‘bug’ in your ear, if you are wanting a challenge. I am gluten free and also corn free. I love following you, and have your book. Thanks so much for all your hard work!

Happened upon your site a couple days before I signed up again for Weight Watchers….thanks so much for the inclusion of WW+ Points with your recipes. I was successful with weight loss in the past year with WW and hope, now, to be abe to continue. Your site gives me healthy desserts with the points already included; such a nice addition. And, I like that, with some items, even if something does not get cooked all the way (new oven…having troubles,) the food is still safe to eat! Again, my thanks!!

Hi Katie.
Love to use your site as a reference but I don’t think the nutritional facts on the chocolate tofu mousse can be right. With 3/4 cup of chocolate chips there is no way to get any where near 140 calories( I wish) in 4 servings. It’s got to be WAY more than that????? Do you use a special chocolate chip?
Thanks

Hi Katie! I absolutely love your website and recipes, they are a great input for my creations. Yesterday I used your “healthy oreos” recipe to make healthy sugar-free low-fat matcha ores (check it out here: https://instagram.com/p/5eVq_Krnk1), using erythritol instead of xylithol and reduced-fat butter, plus matcha powder in the filling!
I would love for you to feature my version of the recipe on your website, if you want 🙂 of course, I have more pictures of the cookies.
Happy baking!

Hi Katie! I just came across your blog recently, and am officially hooked. As a dessert-lover but a person who’s at work all the time, I don’t often have time to indulge myself – and if I do have the time, I usually feel really guilty for eating sweet treats. Thanks for making recipes that are quick, easy, and absolutely delicious without the added inches to my waistline!
P.S. Your greek yogurt cheesecake and oatmeal pancakes are fantastic. Definitely recommending you to all my healthy friends out here in California 🙂

I love all your recipes and even checked your book out at the library. Keep up all the amazing recipes. I like how you have alternative or substitutions in your recipes. Sometimes it is easier than trying to change them or tweak them myself. So thank you. I have a HUGE favor. When I checked out your book, I made a lot of copies of your recipes. I recently made you Thin mint cookies and I fell in love with them and the flavor. Super tasty. However, I misplaced the recipe and want to make them again this week for a gathering this coming weekend. Could you please send me the recipe. It is not the raw one. It is the one made with GF All purpose flour. Thank you in advance. I also follow you on pinterest and on Facebook. Have a great holiday weekend!!

Chocolate Covered Katie says
I have chocolate zucchini cupcakes in my book that you could cook in a loaf pan if you have the book… If you don’t have the book, you can try replacing a little of the flour in the “zucchini cake” recipe with cocoa powder (I usually like taking out 1/4 cup flour and replacing with 1/4 cup cocoa in recipes to turn them chocolatey… it is a good starting point to experiment.) Meanwhile, I will experiment as well! Hopefully I can come up with something and give you a better answer soon in the coming months!
Leila says
I love your Starbucks Lemon Cake Healthy Makeover. I would like to make this recipe into muffins/cupcakes. What changes do I have to make?
Chocolate Covered Katie says
I’ve not tried so you will have to experiment. Be sure to report back if you do!
Lucinda Sommer says
Katie: You’re beautiful and refreshingly not stuck-up. I love both your attitude and your recipes. I don’t follow the recipes to the letter because of being diabetic, but get some great ideas for delicious ‘sweets’ wherein I can tweak the ingredients to suit my blood sugar issues. (I’m 63, and have lost 30 pounds in a few months by using a plant-based diet, by the way.) Anybody who loves chocolate should simply love you too, and be grateful for your sharing. Love the pictures! You’re just so pretty.

Hi Katie,
Hope you are doing well! I loved your recipes and photography for Nacho Cheese Doritos Hummus and Banana Dole Whip. They look so good! I’m putting together a blog post that will run on solofoods.com called “Best New Recipes of Summer 2015” that I think your recipes will fit perfectly in. Before adding it though, I wanted to make sure we had your permission to do so. It’ll be a simple link to your recipes with a photograph from the recipe that you took, making sure it’s clearly sourced as being yours.
Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Sure thing! Would be honored. Please use any photos you need 🙂

Hi Katie,
I’m the author of the book Your Weight Loss G-Spot launching in November 2015. The reason I’m emailing is because I’m loving your recipes and I’d like to use a recipe from your website in my upcoming book. We will give you all the credit to the recipe, just wanted to include some healthy, yet yummy selections for our readers.
The recipe I’d like to use is: Banana Dole Whip
Please confirm by September 25 with your permission to use as well as your proper name and title to include in the book.
As a thank you I’ll send you a copy of Your Weight Loss G-Spot. Let me know if you’d prefer Kindle or a PDF version.
Thanks and look forward to hearing from you!

Hey Katie,
I came across your blog and I really liked it! I appreciate the fact that you are pushing the healthy agenda while trying not to sacrifice taste. I am wondering if you would be interested in looking at our products. We make all-natural, sugar free jams, syrups, ketchup, BBQ sauce and honey all sweetened with Xylitol. We can be found at natureshollow.com. We would love send you some product for you to try and maybe do a give-a-way for your followers.
I look forward to your reply!
Thanks,

I just found a couple recipes on southernplate.com for something called Chocolate Cobbler (similar idea is Chocolate Pudding Cake) where you pour water over top of batter to make a pudding/fudgy underlayer under the cake. I remember this from my childhood, but, oh my, tons of sugar in that recipe! Can you make / do you have something similarly gooey and yummy but not so Bad for us?? Thanks for everything – we use your recipes all the time!

Thank you so much for creating this, I have to be on a dairy, egg, wheat and sugar free diet due to health issues and I was a chronic binge eater and sugar addict… this has given me hope that I can still enjoy treats and stay healthy <3 Thank you!

Hi Katie.
I’ve been searching for a link to contact you privately on here, but having no luck! I’ve just read a blog post by someone, which is almost identical to your most recent post about the pumpkin fudge, which is blatant plagiarism.
I don’t really want to put the link in this comment, so if there’s another way to send it to you, please let me know. It’s not right to rip off other people’s hard work, so I thought you should know.
Thanks

Hello, can you please tell me what specific product you use when you reference “grease or oil your baking pan…” in a gluten free recipe? Thank you!

I just wanted to thank you for your recipes! My sister has cancer and is on a really strict diet as well as being pregnant! With no sugar and no dairy, you would think she couldn’t have chocolate or yummy deserts but that’s simply not the case with your recipes! So thank you!
Anne Yang says
Hi Katie!
I’ve been reading through your blog for the past few days and I just wanted to say I love your recipes, and your photography is amazing! So beautiful I can almost taste the food!
Recently I started a business with my boyfriend doing eco-friendly kitchenware, and our first product is a 9″ silicone & stainless steel kitchen tong. We’re looking to get mentioned on a few awesome blogs, and maybe do a couple of giveaways or a discount code for your readers too. Please let me know if that would be of interest to you, and if you have a rate for a sponsored article, what it would be.
All the product info is at http://gokitchenpro.com/tongs if you’d like to take a quick look first to see what you think.
Hope to hear from you soon,
Thanks!

Hello Katie,
I was just wondering if you have a software program that you use to calculate all the ingredients for your recipes. I have been trying to find one to use for my recipes and if you point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
Have a fantastic day!

Where did the recipe for pumpkin pie muffins go? I’m so sad, that was a great recipe and I cant find it anymore 🙁
it was at this link https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2012/11/18/pumpkin-pie-pumpkin-muffins/
Please bring it back!!
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Hi! So sorry for the trouble… that was a guest post, and she changed her mind and asked me to take it down because she has other plans for the recipe now 🙁
Allison says
Dear Katie,
I just had a meeting with the dinning center at my university. The meeting occurred because of unhealthy options. One of the deserts they have is a desert pizza that is covered in butter, brown sugar, and many other sugars. They are refusing to take this off the menu unless I have an equivalent. I am commenting to you because I came across your blog when looking for a better option. I was wondering if you had an equivalent to this. This would help out not only our university but also others and making healthier choices.
Let me know what you think.

hi- i wonder if you know if the cholesterol-preventive properties o oatmeal are diminished by baking (i know cooking in water dilutes values) – (i do eat it raw in other cereal) but i’m trying to maximize benefit while enjoying it and need to branch out – thanks for greatlooking recipes- i’m anxious to try some. sue
Ronika Verran says
Hi! I really enjoy your recipes and the idea of having a little bit of sweetness every day in a healthy way! One thing though: would you be able to post how much your recipes yield? It’s possible to figure it out from the ingredients, I suppose, but it would be helpful when deciding how much to make, say for a party… with more than two people… Thanks!
Unofficial CCK Helper says
If not listed on the recipe page (and many of the newer recipes actually are listed), look on the nutrition facts link where it will say. Hope that helps!
allison says
I love love love your blog and all your delicious recipes! Ty! However im seriously not able to check anything out today! The quaker oats ad keeps popping up every time I try to look at a recipe!
Mel says
Hey Katie!
I just entered your “Hug a fat month” feature comp on Instagram with some yummy Raw Cacao-Cranberry Bliss Balls!

Thanks so much – love, love, love all your recipes and can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

Mouth watering reciopes by cute Katie… all the best
Paul says
I just came across your website for chocolate using coconut oil. Is this oil better than using butter for chocolate? I know your not a nutritionist but obviously using coconut oil has not impacted you in a negative way – health or weight. Is the coconut oil better for mouth feel, the way it holds together, or is it just you like this type of oil? I am a an older gentleman and I like to cook. BTW I use olive oil generously in some recipes but my family has weight issues (not me) so I try to be cognizant of their needs too. Butter seems to be making a comeback – would you agree?
Clara says
Do you have any recipes without chocolate? I am not a lover of chocolate.Period. I will eat anything just about as long as there is no chocolate withing miles of the finished product.
Unofficial CCK Helper says
She definitely does! There are a lot of recipes for peanut butter recipes, coconut recipes, non-dessert recipes, and banana recipes, etc. Here is a link to ALL of the recipes, many of which are not chocolate recipes:

So glad I found your site….mom is losing weight… 85 yrs old….slow to eat a meal 🙁 quick to eat sweets;-) … So Hey mom can eat healthy high cal snacks yaay!!!
karen says
Much preferred your old website and design. Such a shame that you now had annoying Ad’s constantly rearing their ugly head. Everytime I use your site now my whole computer works slower and wants to shut down. I can no longer use the website.
samson says
i love to look at you recipes. i will find times to look at it again
gloria says
hey there… i have been subscribed to this site for a long time… 🙂 and i love to read and try out your recipes where i can. Processed sugar seems to be the crutch of what i need to cut out in order to keep on agoin… Its not yet seen that i have diabetes but processed sugar or corn syrup products works on slowing down and sometimes stopping my kidney from functioning… so… in other words thanks heaps for all the inspirational healthy posts…( my problem has been helped by using coconut palm sugar:) and i am not one who likes to profess this online but yes too much sugar is still too much but its a way smoother life! and i am a chocolate lover..) i do sometimes buy russel stover chocolate in between:) and that has worked well.. by the way i am not a blogger myself which may seem somewhat unfair!… but i am always learning from other peoples inspirations for cardmaking and recipes now, i love to bake. By the way i try to leave encouragemnts on their blogs for the use of inspiration… it brings the desire back tho when i can bake stuff i know is something good for me to eat too… i am one who strives to accept my problems with help of choice but not into natural oil etc. i am not a fan of those money-eating emails either… some problems are so unseen at times so i know what rumors are about and how it feels.. SOrry you have to face that stuff… but i am a careful cautious person online and i am still that way.. but so far its helpful to me:) yes.. and extremely sensitive… I believe in sending hugs:) so have a wonderful day.. and “nobody” is obligated to answer me… i dont even expect it as i understand the busyness of an online life like yours.. thanks 2 u for inspiring me with all your lovely recipes! 🙂 In my life i have no norms.. the only thing thats normal in my life is “the setting on the dryer” 😉
Sandy says
Hello Katie,
Please tell me that you have a recipe book! I don’t have a printer and have to write all your recipes out by hand !. I must say that your radiating beauty is a profound testimonial for your healthy living and God Bless you for making this lifestyle available for all.
Wishing you ongoing success,
Sandy
Bernadette says
Katie:
I am a bit surprised that you use so much tofu in your recipes. For people who are soy intolerant or have hypothyroid, soy products are forbidden unless fermented. The other problem is that most soy is GMO. GMO foods are anything but healthy. It is difficult to find organic soy products for those who aren’t intolerant. I would enjoy recipes that don’t rely on soy fillers. Thanks for your consideration.
Jessica Gray says
Hi!
Nice to meet you.
I have read some posts on your site and find Chocolatecoveredkatie.com as a perfect site with high-quality content for our premium campaigns.
I know that you are already working with ads on your site. I was wondering that would you like to get more revenue by putting more ads on your website or giving us a chance to provide a higher price for our premium campaigns?
We work on a CPM basis and provide 100% fill rate.
What would be the best way to reach you and discuss this in detail?
I appreciate your answer.
Thanks in advance,

Carl says
Katie, I’m a 57 year old father of four grown children and new to cooking. I came across your website while seeking a recipe for peanut butter pie. It feels like I’ve stumbled upon a treasure. Today I made the pie using the yogurt instead of bananas. And I made the black bean brownies. My 30 year old daughter loved the taste of both. Thanks!
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Thank you so much for making them!
Laketta says
Hello Katie,
I would like to know when are you going to open up a shop? Are you going to start baking and mailing to those who are placing a order from you?
Carol says
Hi Katie,
If you can count the amount of times someone visited your site – I’d win!!! I made so many of your recipes and I’m sold! Keep up your great work!! I was wondering if there are any cookbook giveaways or Cyber Monday deals – I so badly want your cookbook but I know I cannot do it now. Please keep me posted of the latest offers.
Thanks again,
Carol
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Hi! Amazon is actually offering a 30% discount for the cookbook… that is still good until tonight!!! When you go to buy the book, just type HOLIDAY30 into the “gift card” spot when you go to check out!

Katie:
How about maybe making a recipe for pumpkin black bean brownies.
It would be delicious coming from you. The black bean brownies are superb!
Hannah McCollum says
Hi Katie,
A friend recently told me to get in contact with you – I have had a look at your website which is great (as i love chocolate too!) and wondered whether you would be interested in taking a look at my brand ChicP, because I think you would love my sweet hummus! For example the cacao, avocado and banana one or the banana, peanut butter & cocoa hummus.
Take a look and let me know!
Have a great weekend,
Hannah McCollum

Donna Joslin says
I have followed your posts for at least a year, and have subscribed by email all that time, too. Now I have trouble getting into your blog. I can’t find a search bar for particular recipes. I don’t use Facebook, and don’t like Pinterest. I just want to read your blog and recipes the way I always did. What am I doing wrong?
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Hi, I’m not sure what you mean but would be happy to help troubleshoot. Can you explain more about what you mean? What gives you trouble? The search bar is at the top of the right-sidebar area on desktop for all posts, or for mobile there’s a search bar if you click the three lines at the top of the screen next to the header.
Liz Gaskill says
Dear Katie,
I have been meaning to write you and let you know what a difference you have made in my life. I saw your recipe for Chocolate chip cookie pie on Facebook, tried it and bought you book right away. I am a Weight Watcher and now I can have my treats with no guilt, thanks to you and your wonderful recipes. Chocolate and good for you? Who knew. Keep up the good work.
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Aw thank you so much, Liz!!
Jacq says
I owe you BIG TIME, Katie. I’m an avid and accomplished home cook who can’t celebrate any holiday, or connect with the food of my great grandmas and grandpas, without weeks’ worth of serious baking. I prematurely mourned the loss of all that when my 11-year-old told me she wanted to eat vegan. Then she turned me on to your blog, and I now prefer many of your recipes to what I was baking before! You’ve given us a whole new holiday tradition as well as phenomenal and nutritious everyday desserts. THANK YOU!!!!!

Susan Chive says
Hi,
I wanted to get in contact as we are looking for places to host content and adverts for a number of our clients.
Typically we would like to provide you with some content with a link already inserted that you can quickly add to your site or work with you to create a post that suits. The content is of good quality written by experienced UK writers which will provide good value to your readers as well.
If you do not wish to host a link advert then we have a number of partners who might be worth speaking to who place more traditional adverts.
The clients in question are all well known UK brands and I would be very interested to understand under what agreement you would be happy to place that content for us?
Please let me know if you have any interest in the above and thanks in advance for your consideration.
Regards

Hi Katie!
Im developing a bakery recipe that is vegan, gluten free, and packed with protein! I am having trouble with the consistency/texture and was wondering if you would be interested in helping. If so, what is your fee and or hourly rate?
Thanks!
Patty Dille says
Hey Katie!
My mother and I stumbled across your recipe for black bean brownies and OMG…they are DEL-LIC-IOUS! I have been on a mostly plant-based lifestyle for the past 114 days and writing a book about it. I was wondering if I can put the brownie recipe in it. I will credit you for it!. Thank you for your time.
Unofficial CCK Helper says
That recipe is in her own cookbook, which I think means it is copyrighted.

Beth says
Katie hi… glad I discovered you. I’ve been vegan for the past 3 years and have been looking for dieter conscious healthy recipes. You covered lots… May soon be buying your book. Question is the book mainly deserts? I am mostly interested in main courses, side dishes , soups.. I love healthy fats such astahini, seeds, avocados and nuts…. use stevia, agave, apple syrup (now and again.) Like to stay away from salt and tamarin. All those delicious foods I just mentioned can add weight. Do you have substitutions to use in your recipes and any other meals I invent?

Chocolate Covered Katie says
Hi, and sorry for the delayed reply! To be honest, as much as I want people to buy my book, I can’t recommend it to you because it is indeed mostly desserts (and breakfasts and smoothies). But I am working on a second, non-dessert book now! 🙂

Hi Katie,
I’ve written to you before, giving you all the encouragement I can. You are one of a kind, girl!! I love how you stand up for yourself and show exemplary nutrition for such a young, beautiful (inside and our) contemporary girl. I’m old enough to be your grandma, but I have my degree in nutrition and I know about all the unfortunate issues women have to face today. All I can say is KEEP ON, KATIE!!! I’ll always be in your corner.

Hi Katie
Is there an issue with your web site?
I find when I search your recipes using chrome, it is taking a Very long time. Just curious if it’s me or the site.
Thx!
Unofficial CCK Helper says
I haven’t found that problem. Are you still having it? Is it just this website, or others as well?
Sue says
You’re beautiful, Katie. Your recipes are great–I haven’t made many yet, but I’m working on it. I made black bean brownies for my coworkers and nobody guessed what the secret ingredient was. Next I’m going to bring in the cookie dough dip. They kind of expect “weird” things from me because they know I don’t eat wheat and your recipes are perfect because they actually taste good. Keep up the good work!
Janice Esposito says
Your site is not as easy to navigate as before. I used to be able to type in a word or 2 and the recipe would come up. Now i can’t find the blank space to type in a word and pull up a recipe.

The search bar is still located on her website’s right hand sidebar. Let me know if you don’t see it!

Loved your recipes Katie. I am already a big fan of health food and I eat chocolate everyday too, with moderation of course, thank you for your amazing recipes.

Wonderful site with wonderful recipes. I was delighted to read that someone other me myself has chocolate and peanut butter as their favourite foods. I am so looking forward to trying your recipes. I have also registered for your inspiring new recipes. All the best to you!!!! Great job

I am the founder of a start up (functional) ready-to-drink beverage company which utilizes chocolate in a healthy way; similar to your MO.

I think you may be interested in our products even if you may not be interested in writing for us. I would love to send you samples and hear your thoughts! I hope to hear from you..
sherry says
I am confused by your nutrition facts about your black bean brownies – it says it makes 9 – 12 and the nutrition facts say 115 calories per brownie – is that for 1/9 or 1/12? Nutrition facts are not clear.

Katie, can you suggest a THM approved sweetener to replace the maple syrup in your most recently published recipe, No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Fudge Bars?
Kelly Williams says
Hi Katie,
I am an avid reader of your food blog Chocolate Covered Katie. I love following along on social media with the healthy recipes you develop, and your journey to a wholesome life. I have ambitions to start a food blog upon my graduation in May. Your site has inspired me to develop a brand for myself and share my love of health, nutrition, and food to people.
My name is Kelly Williams and I am a collegiate runner and graduate student in the Reed College of Media at West Virginia University doing my master’s thesis about health communication. Part of my study is conducting an online survey. The goal of my research is to find out consumers’ understanding of nutritional claims and its link to online media habits. I have a passion for changing the way the food industry markets food.
I came up with this concept from spending time on one of my favorite sites, Pinterest (of course!). I noticed posts claiming “healthy cookies!” and after following the link to the recipe, realized that MY definition of healthy was not the same as another person’s (i.e., 1/2 cup of granulated sugar compared to 1 cup = healthy to some…but not me). I got to really thinking about the concept of healthy and did some research to find that the FDA doesn’t quite define the word. Same goes for natural. For consumers who do not have enough time/ care enough to read beyond the front of the package and its claims, I became frustrated about the deceit and trickery caused by the food industry. A goal of my research is to uncover consumers use and understanding of these claims.
The survey will take about 10 to 15 minutes to complete. It is voluntary, and you are not required to answer every question. The survey is confidential and your name will not be attached to your individual responses. We are only interested in aggregate findings. More information is explained at the beginning of the survey. This survey is IRB approved.
Would you take the survey at the link below and if possible, also share with your following? Thank you very much for helping me.
Here is the link:

Crystal says
Hi Katie,
I’m wanting to transition to veganism, but I’m underweight and would like to know what you did to gain weight? I read your story and it resonates with me and my past and read that a trick of yours to get curves was to eat 1/3 jar of nut butter each morning 🙂
Could you tell me how many tablespoons that was so I can try that trick… thanks!
Kindly,
Crystal

I just came across your website when I googled black bean brownies. I’ve made your recipe and it was delicious! My children loved it too! I then looked at the many other recipes on your site that I want to try next…Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are next! You are obviously a smart young woman. Thank you for this great website. Wishing you an abundance of success and joy!
Nicole says
Help! I made the cookie dough dip for a party and now the party has been cancelled. Can I freeze it? How long will it be good in the refrigerator? It is awesome, by the way!
Luci says
Love your site Katie and love chocolate too. Could you elaborate on the brands of chocolate you use? Some chocolate has added nasties! Am trying to stick with a sugar free diet……but your choc recipes are making me drool! Chocs no doubt agree with your metabolism…..they don’t with mine and my age is against me too!

Hi, Katie. I can’t find the search bar on your site. Help, please!

Hello, Katie! Let me say first, I am tempted to try your recipes, just looking at you! 🙂 You are so fit, and very pretty.
I am a stay at home mom of 4 small kids, ages 7/4/2/11 wks, and have recently started branding my own kitchen tools. I started with a Creme Brulee Torch (I included a link so you could see it), and I was wondering if you would want to try one out for free? It would be my pleasure to gift this to you, and if you loved it and felt to mention it in any of your blog, I would be so appreciative and humbled. 🙂

You’re probably wondering what makes it special, well knowing you cook vegan these product match very well! Well it’s our unique and patented blend of 11 botanical oils from around the world that come together to form the ideal combination to protect the hair from environmental distress, heat, UV, and increase manageability, shine, follicle density and promote hair growth and prevent hair loss. And yes that hair growth includes in male pattern baldness, alopecia, and hormonal imbalances by blocking DHT levels that cause hair loss. To make it even better we have proven all claims threw a third party trial at Princeton University. They are also sulphate, gluten, cruelty free and vegan!
So why is this beneficial for you? Well Monat is still very small but gaining traction quickly, you are able to spot us in this month’s issues of New York Magazine, In Touch Weekly, Life and Style and a special spread in Network Marketing Magazine. The benefits of this being the financial benefit still very available in our company or if that’s not for you having access to an incredible new product on your blog having an inside scoop to what is soon to be common knowledge. I’m sure you get a lot of similar offers daily to have % profits from mentioning or selling of a product but I assure you my offer is much more then profitable so I cannot wait to discuss further.
Like anything new I would never expect anyone to believe in how incredible these products are based on the opinion of a stranger so our company is incredible and always offers a 30 day money back guarantee to not only our customers but our distributors as well. I have many others options if you’re interested in knowing more about these products and what we have to offer. I can’t wait to chat more!
Thank you so much for your time,

Dear Katie,
Every day that I crave a sweet, I thank my lucky stars for you and all your work on developing healthy sweets. I can now have sweets that are not only good tasting, but good for me.
Thank you so much

I am looking for Katie Henderson. I can’t find your last name. I have her ‘Pecan Sour Cream Coffee Cake recipe but don’t have the directions on how to assemble the coffee cake. Could you get that for me? Thank you Trudy

Hi,
I’ve really enjoyed reading your website. I thought I’d reach out to you regarding sponsor content for our clients. I noticed you have maintained your website chocolatecoveredkatie.com quite well with the quality contents in it.
We will also provide you relevant contents which will definitely send message to your readers.
If you’re interested I’d be happy to take this deal to next level. I’m flexible too, if you have any other ideas.
I hope to hear from you soon!

I have known and worked with many people with eating disorders. Without a doubt Katie is anorexic—despite her claims that she is not. She has all the hallmarks of a serious eating disorder. I would NOT want my young girls looking at this website—which is based on calories and fat rather than healthy, well balanced diets. Katie is a liar and a fraud and a publicity hound. There are SO many food bloggers out there—follow one that is intelligent and serious about health. Katie on the other hand likes to post pictures of herself in bikinis on her blog. Real classy.
Sandy says
anorexic with a terrible boob job.You already look WAY older than you are because you starve yourself then give advice about eating healthy. You are as fake and phony as your tits
Random. says
Sandy. bug off/ You bullied her about her Pinnaple muffins now your here? Whats you deal? and do not say t*ts its a gross word.

I just saw your cheesecake recipe using thin mint Girl Scout cookies. Taste of Home magazine is having a contest with Girl Scout cookie recipes. I think this is a winner – you may wish to enter it in the contest.
Sirlei Martin says
Hi Katie,
I love your healthy recipes, and that you include the nutritional facts in them. Could you please include the sugar content also? Being a mom, its nice to know how much sugar my kids are consuming. Thank you for considering it! Best, Sirlei Martin
Emily says
Hello Katie,
Wow – it’s amazing to see how hugely this blog has blown up over the years. I started following you almost 4 years ago, and while I was still amazed then, I’m even more amazed now! I often turn to your blog in my weight loss journey. Today, I am trying to adapt your cookie dough shake recipe to taste like a snickerdoodle, because those are my favorite types of cookies! I am changing the recipe enough that it will be original; however, I would wonder if you would approve of me posting my recipe on my blog, and calling it an adaptation of your original recipe with a link back to your recipe? Let me know if that is okay – I am early on in my blog hobby and am still learning all of the etiquette that goes along with that.
Anne says
Hi Katie,
Love your site! I am a weight watcher person. Darn WW–they have gone to a new point system called “Smart Points.” Sugar and sat. fat are big items in the point calculation. Any chance you will be moving to Smart Points?
Unofficial CCK Helper says
Yes, it looks like all of her recipes posted from around March 2016 onwards have smartpoints 🙂
Kendra says
I love reading your blog. I feel like we’re friends 🙂
Alan says
Katie, you are amazing. Sweets are my weaknesses and your ideas are just heaven on earth. Thank you. Keep up the great work.
Andra says
Can you please give normal portion sizes when you supply nutrition facts? Your Oatmeal Cherry Crumble Pie, for instance, has a serving size as 100 grams?? Who measures by grams? How many pieces do you cut your pie into is more the standard. I also would like to place my vote for adding the photo of the item on the recipe card! Helps immensely when you go to look thru your recipes later on – it “pops”!
Thank you – looks delish!
Unofficial CCK Helper says
Serving sizes are listed in the actual post if they’re not also on the nutrition page. Hope that helps!
A•J•S! says
Hi Katie!!! I’m a 13 year old girl with a bunch of dietary problems including celiac disease, possible intolerance for dairy, and a lot more! Your website has givin me the knowledge that there are more ways to have chocolate and yummy food with out the dairy, processing , or gluten! Thank you so much Katie!!!!
Jack says
Thanks, Katie. Best of all good wishes.
Wellington says
you are like, my food hero. sometimes your recipes get a bit complex and therefore expensive, but every time make one of your desserts I’m like ‘oommm so tasty’ and feel way better physically and mentally then I would if I had just eaten my usual cake-mix cake. Petition to make healthy ingredients cheaper? Yes??? I think so.
Sue says
Your recipes look interesting but they aren’t printing on my almost-new laptop running current version of Microsoft Edge. The page comes up single-spaced – looks like programming text. Will try copying into a Word doc but seems a shame to not have immediate access to all these interesting recipes. This hasn’t happened on any other websites. Good luck!
Dennis says
Katie, i have just started looking through you site and enjoying it tremendously. however, you are very confident of the nutritional information for the goodies on the site. it is my understanding the process of breaking everything down is fairly expensive. have your recipes really been tested or are the figures guestimates?
Ellen says
Katie, PLEASE get rid of all these super irritating pop-ups!! I use to love going to your web sight everyday now I hate it.
Krista says
Hi Katie!
You are the BEST. I am on your site religiously! I have tried tons of your recipes and they are all such a great success and so yummy. I am celiac and lactose intolerant, so finding new recipes can sometime be difficult and discouraging, but I get so excited when I am searching through your recipes because I know I will find something amazing that I can enjoy 🙂
Thank you for dedicating your time to food and to all of us!
Krista

Can I use erythritol in place of xylitol? Or trivia? Xylitol doesn’t agree with me.
Joanne says
Unfortunately I will have to stop viewing your posts if the Arm and Hammer ads continue to display on 1/3 of my screen with no way to delete them. I tried refreshing the page and they pop back up. It interferes with viewing and following a recipe. I’d send a screen shot but don’t know if that’s possible with an e-form.
Rachel Bernhard says
Have you made a healthy pecan pie? Thank you for what your doing!!!!
Linda McIntosh says
I love your recipes~thanks a lot.
Jen says
You should make a recipe for cake batter pancakes!! Like your cake batter dip or milkshake but in a pancake form!
Sid Leake says
I see by the dates on the posts, they’re old, some are really old. Just wanted to tell you my PT, Chris White, “Fit With Chris”, a 30+ guy who lives and breathes fitness 4% body-fat, surprised our network group here in Sugar Land, TX with 3 baking pans full of brownies. We couldn’t believe he was foisting them on us because he is so conscientious about eating right. We all guesses and guessed what they were made out of and he told us: black beans, gluten free. We freaked! Thanks for the recipe and it’s surprising to see such a young, attractive, svelt woman who’s a dessert/chocolate aficionado.
Demetrius Russell says
I must meet or get in touch with Katie. I am in the process of developing a healthy edibles menu to introduce into Texas’ new Compassionate Use Program. This would help a lot of “patients” to not actually feel or be treated like patients. I believe this is a healthier and less frowned upon way of introducing a new form of medicine, so to speak.
Sara Solomon says
Hi Katie,
I am a health coach and occasionally include recipes in my blog. I would love to include with credit your recipe for mango sherbert for a post I am writing next week for Passover. It is my kids’ favorite dessert, and I know that my readers would also love to make it.
Susan J Duncan says
I stumbled upon your site looking for galactasemic acceptable recipes and am grateful to see that some of your vegan recipes meet the restrictions. My grand daughter is a galactasemic–No Galactose! no dairy, it will kill her. Look it up, I do not exagerate, no enzyme to breakit down. So, I am grateful to find some recipes that will make cooking “goodies” possible. Thank you!
Michelle says
I made the flourless chocolate blender muffins. They are delicious! My daughters loved them and so did their teacher! I’m going to make them for our staffroom treat this month. Thank you for the awesome recipes that taste good and are good for you.
Kiki Athanassouilas says
Hi Katie,
I’m a huge fan of your site – especially your Instagram 🙂
I work at a startup called Meal Garden which aims to make planning healthy meals as easy as possible with scheduling and automatic grocery list features. We also have a health algorithm (developed by those who have PhDs in Nutrition) which scans through every recipe and provides nutritional analysis.
I am the Marketing Manager and I’m trying to figure out the best way to increase our user base. I am looking for HEALTHY food bloggers who might be interested in working with us – my initial idea is for them to create healthy recipes for the site, and be paid each time their recipe gets scheduled/our users add it to their cookbook.
Would you be interested in chatting further?
Best,
Kiki
Gina says
Can you make a healthier version of derby pie?
Kathy says
Katie,
Loved your story. You are one of the lucky ones who discovered your career path early.
College has you so busy taking classes many of which do not apply to your future needs.
Baking another batch of Blender Brownies today. I used white kidney for the first batch and they were wonderful. I rinse the beans early several times then spread them out on a cookie sheet and cover with paper towels. There is no bean smell this way.
Hana says
I like this blog ..thank you for doing it …
Patricia Garrett says
Wow sweety…with all that sweet stuff, I wouldn’t be surprised if you became diabetic. Love some of your recipe’s but have to change a few things…I use soy and not tofu. Keep trying tofu but can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong to prepare.
the division items says
Great site you possess right here
Randi says
Hi. I love your recipes and have made and recommended many of them; I tell people about your website all the time! But, recently, whenever I visit your website i am constantly being sent to the App Store to download one thing or another that I am not clicking on. I guess when I am swiping the page up or down there must be some ad somewhere that I am still not seeing, but this is becoming so frustrating I can’t even use the site anymore. Please fix this, I want to return!
Priscilla Mitchell says
Love your recipes and instagram page.
Michelle says
Hi Katie, I want to feature your blog on my website (www.michellevodrazka.com) as part of my favourite healthy food blogs list and would love to feature one of your favourite recipe photos in the post. If this is something that interests you, I would appreciate if you could email me a photo of your choice along with the recipe name. Thank you so much!
Rebecca says
Love the recipes! My toddler eats the banana oatmeal cupcakes all the time. Please, please find a different plug-in for your newsletter popups. I’ve closed that pop-up no less than a dozen times this morning alone. GAHHHHH, I just had to do it again just to write this comment. Please let me browse your website in peace after opting out of your newsletter.

what ingredient can I
substitute?
Cheryl Eiduke says
I tried the black bean chocolate brownies. I didn’t have a food processor so the textures were off. As you noted. I told everyone they were chocolate oatmeal bars. Everyone said to make them again. I never told anyone they were gluten free made with beans
Scott Flear says
Hey Katie,
I was doing some research on Body Building and stumbled across your site.
I noticed a great collection of guest blog posts, very informative.
Are you still considering guest blog posts? I’d love to contribute to your blog!

Best,

Diana says

Desserts

Thanks for sharing your culinary creations with your readers.
Emili says
Love your blog!!!!
The other day I swear I saw a recipe for a cheesecake with tofu in it. Now I can’t find it anywhere! I bought the tofu and cream cheese but can’t find the recipe. Can you point me in the right direction? Maybe I saw it somewhere else… Hmmm
Emili says
Just wondering: did you have a cheesecake recipe that had tofu as an ingredient? I thought I saw a recipe recently and I went out to buy the ingredients now I can’t find the recipe. Please let me know if you have one. I might have saw it elsewhere but I thought it was yours.

All the best,

Donna says
I cannot get your recipes to match the nutritional information you provide. I have tried 3 different calculators and none of them are close! This information is critical! Can you tell me how you arrive at your nutritional info?
Christy says
I came across your website a few days ago and I’m hooked !!! You are seriously inspiring and I’m so grateful I found your page ! I love the post you wrote about how much you eat in a day . I spent most of my 20’s with an eating disorder and was so scared of food and calories and went through years of counselling. On my 29th birthday I decided enough was enough , I was not going into my 30s with an eating disorder . I’m turning 31 next weds and I’m almost 2 years “free” from disordered eating and thinking. I eat chocolate everyday and eat intuitively without counting or obsessing . When I saw your daily calorie intake it made me smile . I now focus on real food and … chocolate . Hehehehe. Thank you for what you do ! I’m so excited to try more of your recipes , I’m making the miso soup tonight and I made your 3 ingredient pancakes for my boyfriend and I for breakfast! 🙂 xoxo Christy
Gretchen says
Hi Katie,
I would like to use your smoothie popsicle recipe in a small article I’m writing for a publication called Austin Woman (Austin, Texas). Would you be willing to share a photo of the pops for this piece, too? My deadline is Wednesday this week. Thank you very much. It’s a great recipe.
Best,
Gretchen
Susan says
Hi Katie,
I don’t know if you have heard or know of the Instant Pot (no not that kinda of pot ;-). I am hoping you have, just look at it on Amazon. If so, have you tried any desserts in it ? I know cheese cake is a big deal for followers of the instant pot, I am not a cheesecake fan. I have made rice pudding that does tap dances on your palate. My question is do you have one, if so, can you share any recipes? Thanks, Susan
Kathy says
Hello from Northern Ca
I hope you can help me; I will try to make intro short. My parents are in a care home, Mom’s 95 and Dad will soon be 94. They reside at a local care home —- because they strongly dislike the food that is served I take lunch to them at least 3 times a week. Mom is at the point where she doesn’t want to eat- –nothing tastes good and she is not hungry. Dad still has a healthy appetite if I bring the food.
I have tried to find proteiN bars but as you have stated they are quite expensive and Mom doesn’t like chocolate and being aprevious peanut butter fan before…… she now does not want the PN butter taste in the bars. Do you have a recipe for a bar that would fit what she possibly might eat. She is slowly starving herself and is down to 90 lbs. I do realize her time may be near but I want to be there for her any way I can. I hope this all makes sense and you can help somehow…. I love to cook but just don’t have th,e time to experiment.
Thank you, Kathy W
Kaylee says
Hi for the healthy nutella recipe, is there another nut to use instead of the expensive hazelnuts? Thanks.
Michelle Burnett says
Katie, Thank you for the great recipes. Have you noticed that all the posts in this comment section are printed twice? Also, my computer freezes up EVERY time I am at your site and it does this multiple times in say, a 15 min. period and even though I am subscribed to your weekly recipe emails, I get the pop up inviting me to subscribe about once a minute which causes the screen to darken for about 15 seconds.. I hope you have some solutions to these things. They are maddening. Your website is really enjoyable but would be so much more enhanced if these things were corrected. Thanks

Hi Katie,
I hope you’re well!
Just wanted to get in touch about Volvic Touch of Fruit’s #RevealYourFlavour revelation campaign and so we’d love to send you some new Volvic Touch of Fruit bottles for you to taste and refresh you in this humid weather!
It would be great to get a short blog post from you, detailing a little revelation of your own/something your readers don’t yet know about you, with the hashtag #RevealYourFlavour so if you’re happy to receive the new flavours, please let me know your address so I can get a box sent out to you!
Best wishes,
Nicole
Jane Grasso says
Love that your recipes include nutritional information and are pretty much healthy enough to indulge in even when on a restrictive diet — I have to keep my sodium low. Looking forward to the zucchini boats and I may make those zucchini brownies too.
One other bit of info you might include would be how long a baked item is generally good for, like the brownies. Some baked items require quicker consumption than others.
Thanks for the great recipes.
Swati Bhandary says
Hey, Just making sure that you got my mail. I had still love to send you an article about Health and wellness. If you are interested in publishing guest post then please let me know.
Thanks,

Have you tried the Lara Bar Bites? Would you consider figuring out a homemade recipe for those so I don’t go broke. The ingredients seem simple enough to mess around with to figure out the ratios. I’m currently eating the mint chocolate truffle bites and they are so amazing! I love your blog and cookbook.
Lynne says
Hi, I receive your newsletter, but as a UK resident I am sometimes unsure of ingredients.
Are the black beans you use the ones known in the UK as black turtle beans?
I think applesauce is just stewed apple (no additions) – is that right?
Thanks, Lynne.

Take a look at the attached agreement and please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about its content,

Hi, I was wondering why you don’t use the word Referee? You use Vegan alot ,but not that. It is a new word used for people who have a Refined Sugar-Free life-style. It combines the first and last word, or that is what my friends in school always tell me.
BTW, L-O-V-E your blog! It rocks \(^o^)/
Corley Amber says
Hello Katie I enjoyed your blog. Very detailed and nicely designed with quality information on how to live healthier. Please Katie I have a GREAT offer for you. Please contact me via my email and let’s talk it out! Thanks

Hi, I can’t find any email info on this website so I guess I’ll just comment here. I am making the Frosted Lemon Donut recipe in the cookbook right now and I have enough batter for double the amount of donuts the book mentions! Not the worst thing in the world, but I just thought I would let you know!
Charlie says
What happened? The no bake pineapple pie never solidified. I used the exact same ingredients that you are showing in your blog. How does this liquid coconut milk ever work? What a waste of time and money.
Julie Dove says
Maybe you used coconutmilk from a carton? Or got a bad can. I’ve made that recipe without a problem.

Hello Katie, Do you have a applesauce recipe, I tried searching for it but unable to find one. Thank you

You can Google for plenty of vegan apple sauce recipes. Try one and let us know which one you used, and the result.
janice kenefick says
Hi Katie
I’m so glad to see the younger generation concerned and doing something to get animals out of their diets. I found your blog encouraging and enlightening. I’m 63 and converting to a plant based diet. I’ve been vegetarian and ate vegan when possible before that. My husband enjoys old fashioned British cooking so it has been a challenge to find things he likes too. Your recipe section has given me some ideas.
All the best in the good work you do!
Vivian says
Is there a way your popup that asks if we want to sign up for your free healthy recipes could have an option that says “Thanks. I already receive it.” That way we wouldn’t have to close it off each time we visit a new page.

I am a sixty five year old woman that has had type 1 diabetes for 47 years. I just found your blog and I wonder why it took me so long to discover such a great site!!! I find it difficult to find healthy and yummy recipes, I will be sharing it with my friends. Thank you.
bermuda shorts says
Hi Katie- I have just stumbled upon your post and I love your recipes and your indomitable spirit. Please continue ignore all the negativity that may come your way- it is usually a reflection of the other person’s jealousy/feelings of inadequacy. It is so unfortunate that we still live in a world where we tear each other down as women, and people in general and see each other as competitors, and not as fellow journeymen all on this one planet together… I especially enjoyed the fact that you have a link on your website for others that might want to start a blog. That was lovely. Keep up the good work and wish you continued good health!
Sharon Schroeter says
You have such great recipes! Is there any way to increase the protein in your Healthy Chewy Granola Bars?
Thanks,
Sharon
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Hi! You can try adding protein powder for some of the oat flour (if you do, be sure to let me know how it goes). Or just use this recipe instead: https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2014/08/11/protein-granola-bars/
Jackie Gest-Easton says
I love your oatmeal breakfast cakes. I was wondering if you ever tried substituting pumpkin for the bananas? Do you think it would be equal quantities? Since pumpkin isn’t as sweet do you have to add more sweetner? I just sounded kind of good with fall coming on.

Dear Katie,
(1) I’m allergic to chocolate. Can I substitute with carob powder?
(2) Exactly how does a spaghetti squash look like? I live in Israel. I don’t think I ever saw spaghetti squash here. Can a different squash be substituted?
Thank you!

Just found this and immediately thought of you. Looks like it should be fairly easy to convert to “all plant foods” and healthier so I do think the Grand Marnier must stay 😉 at least as an optional addition

Katie, i think you are the woman for this task. i love the Pearsons Nut Roll but choose not to eat it for the obvious reasons of the undesirables inside.

Hi Katie!
I just have to tell you something!! Ever since I made my first batch of black bean browines, my husband keeps wanting me to bake more! One time I quadrupled your recipe and made a half sheet cake pan full! I shared them, even during our FARMERS MARKET in town, I go to buy produce, but do not, and am not able to have my own booth. I would cut up a brownie into 4 small pieces, wrap it up and make a copy of your recipe to take with me. I would ask them do you like brownies? Oh YES!! they would try, and try and figure out?? one said is there CAROB? no, coconut? cocnutoil,yes.
then they LIKED them, and handed them the recipe, could not believe it!! I bought a 10# can of black beans as it was cheaper than buying small 15 oz cans. so, some of my people in my small town have your recipe, along with your website, in hopes of sending more people your way!! I am so happy, and thought you would like to know. I have to be careful, as much as I LOVE LOVE chocolate like you do, I am diabetic, and need to watch sugars and especially carbs. I also have severe arthritis in my hips and back, thus not able to have a booth at market.
Just wanted to share with you about the black bean brownies. I also add about a cup of coconut finely shredded, and try to make it like a mounds bar! Thankyou for all your great ideas, recipes and really appreciate all the effort you put into your site. You are awesome!!
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Thank YOU for such kind words!

Do you really have dessert every day? I would love to. I’m obsessed with baking, but I know I will be huge if I do! Only problem is that I am obsessed with baking… I just think to myself, if I’ve eaten way too many desserts, Katie manages it and she’s super skinny!
Gretchen Shelly says
Hi Katie, My spouse and I love your dessert recipes and would like to purchase your breakfast cookbook. However, we are boycotting PayPal at this point, I’m sure you read the news…. Is there some other way I can pay?
Julie Dove says
Hi, Katie emailed you. Let us know if you didn’t receive it!

Katie – you are such an inspiration! As a writer, a blogger, a foodie, and just a good person. I hope you know what a wonderful role model you are to many people! Keep up the good work, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything.

Hi Katie,
I am a fellow entrepreneur who sells everything chocolate! Your background sounds so interesting –
I started my little but happily growing company about 5 years ago and still going strong.
We sell happiness. Every time someone receives My Cup of Cake™ – they tell us it’s a mini celebration.
One delightful cup of cake serves 2-4 people and it’s an instant yum moment.
Its just as fun making it as it is eating it. And what a great gift – move over soggy fruit and welcome a warm fluffy fresh Belgian chocolate soufflé cake you make in minutes.
Let me know if you want Nashville to try a bite out of something new!

Julie Dove says
NuNaturals stevia is what she uses 🙂
Stephanie Phelan says
Ms. Katie,
So I am fairly young and I LOVE to bake, especially healthy desserts, however, I have several GI problems and as a result added sugar is a no-no. I’ve been trying to make a really delicious blueberry muffin to no avail. I can manage making one but it’s never as moist as I’d like. Walmart has started a no sugar added line and their blueberry muffins (and everything else are amazing). I know the Walmart ones are not vegan but could you help me decipher how to make the ultimately moist and delicious no sugar added blueberry muffins – vegan or no?
Julie Dove says
Hi, can you have xylitol? You can use it instead of sugar in these: https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2013/08/12/healthy-blueberry-muffins/
Maria says
I just finished baking my Healthy Oreos.. They came out perfect and they taste DELICIOUS.
I was looking for a healthy recipe for Chocolate Wafer Cookies and could not find anything without butter, until I came across your recipe for Healthy Oreos and this was my lifesaver. I made them wider and thinner and left them in the oven 15 minutes and got my Chocolate Wafers that I was looking for. THANKS SOOO MUCH!!! I will try the real Healthy Oreos very soon and the Black Bean Brownies. ( I watch what I eat because of my high cholesterol.). By the way, how long can I keep Healthy Nutella.in the fridge?
Dennis says
re: refined low sugar chocolate cake
this applies to many of the items i bake. i can never get enough chocolate and so with many recipes, i throw a handful of chocolate chips into batter. unfortunately, the chocolate chips seem to sink to the bottom and so with the refined low sugar chocolate cake, they turned into a chocolate bottom crust; interesting concept but not the intention of the recipe :o[ any suggestion on how to keep the chips from sinking?
thank you,
D.
PS the cake is wonderful, but chocolate sauce is a must!
Julie Dove says
Not sure what you mean, as my chips don’t sink. Maybe use mini chips and only place them on top?
Betty says
I’ve been making your recipes for a long time now (except for the chick pea marshmallow fluff– I’m a little scared of that one). My kids LOVE your stuff! I find myself scrolling down, praying, “please don’t use chick peas, please don’t use chickpeas…” ? We like them in salty dishes, but Im scared to use them in baked products.
Anne-Marie says
Hey there!
I love your blog! And yes, I am one of the ‘silent readers,’ although I do have many of your recipes that I plan to make soon!! 🙂 I am an avid “healthy” cook (that said, I am also so inspired by Nigella Lawson and her laid-back approach, too!). Anyway, will you new e-book be a hard-copy cookbook, sometime? I hope so!
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Hi, and thank you so much for such kind words :). I really wish the book could be hardcover, but unfortunately it just didn’t happen this time. The closest option to an actual hardcover is many readers are printing it out so they have a “hard” copy they can hold in their hands!

I am in my mid-sixties would prefer to have a physical cookbook. I like to browse recipes in a real book. Is there such a thing? I am not very electronic savvy. I don’t even own a smart phone and not sure how the ebook works. How much is it? My son’s girlfriend is vegetarian and I might like to get one for her.

Hi, we so wish there could be a physical book! The closest we could do is send you a pdf version that you can print. But sadly there isn’t an actual hard copy of this one. We wish there could be!

I suggest this though for the health of all people that think if something says “sugar-free” that it is unharmful to their glucose control….think again. Being a type 1 diabetic and teaching high school nutrition I know a lot of people think many foods are good for them that really are not. Come so called “sugar-free{ cookies, candies, and ice-creams almost always have more fat, calories and carbohydrates than if the food had not used chemical ingredients. All foods are either: 1: a fat, 2l a protein, or 3; a carbohydrate. ALL carbohydrates will raise glucose levels. Do no label any recipe as “sugar-free” if it includes any of these ingredients: flour, fruit (especially dried fruit which is a lot worse for a body than fresh fruit), milk, fruit juice, sucrose (table sugar), fructose (fruit sugar), maltose, barley malt, dehydrated cane juice, golden sugar, corn syrup, corn syrup solids, maltodextrin, confectioner’s sugar, maltose, carob syrup, galactose, or any form of syrup. When you look at the nutrition list on a product look for the carbohydrate count. Any form of the listed sugars above should show up on the nutrition facts. And if something says “lower in sugar” or “lower in fat” ask yourself…. “Lower in what ___” Yes the product maybe lower in sugar than a pop-tart but still has as much sugar as a doughnut. The words “all natural” is another misleading phrase. I once caught someone selling “sugar-free” ice-cream in a convenience store but this ice-cream did not had a nutrition label or list of ingredients on it. I called the Food and Drug association and three days later the ice-cream was not there and has not returned and that was twelve years ago. Use you knowledge for better health.

Hi I love your blog so much, and find you so inspiring. I’ve recently become intolerant towards refined sugars, and i’m vegan and gluten free, and have been struggling with finding good chocolate bars that don’t use refined sugar. Do you have any good suggestions for me? Any would be really helpful!

I made the banana bread in a 23.5×13.3x7cm loaf
Pan and the bread came out raw in the middle. I put it back in the over for 10 more minutes and then another 10 minutes and it’s still raw & gooey. Did I do something wrong or is it supposed to be like that? I love all your recipes!! Thank you.
Jason Sanford says
I’m not sure what size pan that is. But for the cooking time to correlate to the correct time, the pan size specified in the recipe should be used. Oven calibration is also important. Hope that helps!
Teresa says
Katie have you ever tried making homemade nut milk? I’ve been trying it and was wondering if you had any advice.
Jason Sanford says
She has a nut milk recipe in her cookbook. If you don’t want to buy the book, I know she is also planning on posting a homemade nut milk tutorial later this year, and there are also many homemade almond milk tutorials done by other bloggers. Or you can get the book from the library too 🙂

Has there been a change? The website is SO much easier to navigate now. My computer is old and formerly, I could only use the site for a few moments before computer would freeze and need to re-boot. I could not use CCK very much because it was so difficult. That does not seem to happen now.

So so happy to hear this! We have been working on the site (as well as having a very skilled developer work on it, and we are extremely grateful for all his help). We’re still working on some things, so hopefully it will get easier and easier to navigate as the months go on.

Hi Katie, I really like the recipes that use bananas as a base since it’s much healthier than using traditional recipes. I have a new health problem caused from medications I have taken for several other maladies. Because of the colitis, my doctor has put me on a diet on which I cannot have bananas. Is there anything that I can substitute for the bananas in your wonderful recipes? Thanks

Hi Katie!
I love your blog and recipes, but I am now confronted with a challenge: my youngest son has many allergies, including CHOCOLATE ? eggs, Coconut, nuts (except almonds), and most fruit. I am trying to adapt recipes but I’m having a hard time knowing what to substitute for Coconut oil and coconut butter. Do you have any suggestions?
Jason Sanford says
It definitely depends on the recipe as to what would be the right sub for those ingredients. Do you have a specific recipe you were wanting to adapt? Certainly for the chocolate, carob would be the first sub I’d say to try.

Hiya Katie
Thank you so much for the Almond Milk recipe. I am going to try it tomorrow. I don’t buy it from the supermarkets because I read a report that each carton only contains about 6 almonds and the rest is water. What a rip off. Soooooo, I shall be making my own now thanks to you. I am lactose intolerant so only use lactose free milk for porridge etc but use Soy milk for my latte !!!!

As someone who has truly struggled with anorexia, I find your “Chocolate Covered Katie Anorexic” hyperlink and title to be quite insulting and offensive, along with your post on eating disorders. You are hurting people who have endured something you do not even understand.
Vicki says
I understand your feelings, due to your struggles. As I say to others, just don’t read it or watch it. I have same issues with cancer, and it really doesn’t bother me when reading some things. We have our issues, but others don’t understand really. Keep your stress down, and just don’t read that part. No worries.
Vicki says
Dear Katie,
I follow you almost daily for better recipes for myself, and others like me. I have a rare cancer, and am pretty restricted i.e., low to no carbohydrates, high good fats, very low sugar content. It sometimes is difficult to find and/or make up recipes due to this.
I am currently in Reno, NV, as I traveled from East to West coast to a special cancer center, all integrative meds. I told all the other patients about your website and they are carefully looking through it. Most of them already knew about your website.
All of us are told to follow a Keto Diet for our cancer. I know you develop Paleo mostly, which is close to Ketogenic, but we need lower sugars of any type and the carbs.
Could you possibly start including Keto recipes? Thank you for considering.
Jason Sanford says
Sending you so many well wishes. I will definitely make the suggestion to Katie to add more Keto recipes to her site. I’m not exactly sure what is or isn’t okay on the diet, but I guess we need to research it!
Cathy Bodell says
Katie – can you recommend a good, tasty brand of gluten free pasta? Everything I’ve tried either tastes awful or the texture is awful. Thanks.
Jason Sanford says
A lot of online sources say Barilla is the best tasting.
Judy Kallmeyer says
Katie, you are a woman after my own heart. I once saw a t-shirt that said,”Hand over the chocolate and no one gets hurt.” I thought it was the greatest.
I am wondering if you have a recipe for no sugar added chocolate bars that uses butter instead of coconut oil. I am desperate for chocolate and am diabetic, so the regular bars are out for me. The ones with artificial sweeteners disagree with me. But I can use stevia and use Stevia in the Raw. Any ideas for me? Can I exchange butter for the coconut oil in your Homemade Chocolate Bars and if so, how much should I use.
Thanks for your help!
Judy K
Jason Sanford says
It definitely sounds like a do-able idea and I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. I would melt the butter first and then use the same amount as it calls for oil.
Be sure to report back if yo try!

Thank you!

Maybe try this one, and sweeten as desired? Just use almond butter instead of pb?

The gooey middle chocolate chip cookies were just what I needed on a cold English afternoon. I hadn’t used a box of marzipan I had bought for Christmas and voile! I had all the ingredients I needed. Used up some rice flour plus regular white flour,and some very dark brown sugar. Used parchment paper instead of greasing the cookie sheet and they turned out lovely! Thanks, I have enjoyed your recipes several times, keep up the good work!
Sue Key says
Hiya Katie
I am soooo happy to have found you.
Too many foods I cannot eat now and I have read a lot of so called “healthy foods” and they look so boring don’t they? Then along you came ! I have to be honest and say what got me interested initially was the ALMOND MILK ! Particularly the various flavours. I tried the shop bought stuff and you may as well be drinking water. I only tried it once and threw the rest out. I later heard on a TV program that in each litre there is actually only around 4 almonds! What a croc.
Anyway I made my first batch today. I did shirt cut a bit with soaking etc but wow, what a revelation. Absolutely NOTHING like that other rubbish. To sweeten it I added about a teaspoon of Queens pure vanilla (I thought about adding an actual pod but may try that next time)
Anyway here is a photo and I am now making my overnight porridge. Porridge is one of my all time favourite foods !!
Kind Regards

My husband had a heart attack and we was looking for a healthy granola

or leave them in the pan and cover them. I would appreciate some help.
He says they are good. I put Olive Oil in them in place of the vegetable
oil.

Hi Alice, I always refrigerate mine when I make them, for freshness. Hope that helps. Sending him well wishes!!! -Jason

Hey Katie,
I use your site all the time for making last minute snacks for the kids (my own plus others) that I drive around to their various after school activities. We play a game where they have to guess the ingredients of whatever I have made that day. Some of the car favorites are paleo brownies, coconut crack bars, black bean brownies, and your chick pea blondies.. I particularly appreciate your recipes that come together in a food processor fast. Sometimes I forget about snacks until I literally have 15 minutes before I need to leave and your recipes have been a life saver on numerous occasions. So a big thank you!! If you are ever revamping your recipe index, I would LOVE to see a section on “fast food”.. Thanks again!!!

I couldn’t find a button to contact you, so I’ll leave my comment here. I don’t know if you’re aware, but your website recently got much slower to load, and the ads make the page jump around like one of those clickbait websites. I try to click on one thing and end up clicking something else. Just thought you’d like to know because your page has been more user-friendly in the past.
Jason Sanford says
Hi, thanks so much for the feedback. We are working with an ad network to try and make the page load as quickly as possible while also trying to keep out spam ads. Katie and I don’t really have any control over how the ads are set up, so we will absolutely pass along your feedback to the network.

I am intrigued by your recipes!!! Are all your recipes Keto or Low Carb recipes? I don’t want to venture too far into your website exploring recipes until I know if they will prove to be off-limits for me or not. =0)
Thank you!!
Jason Sanford says
Hi Michelle! Not all, but she definitely has quite a few. Here are some that are or can be keto friendly: https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2018/03/08/keto-dessert-recipes-vegan/
Rose Navatta says
Just found your site Katie and so are not too familiar BUT Re your Black Bean Brownies, is there TRULY no egg in your recipe? I see no egg mentioned and am so surprised. Tell me pls why not?
Jason Sanford says
No egg, it’s true, and they are amazing!

I tried your Roasted butternut squash recipe as published in the Asheville Citizens-Times. It was a failure. I have never roasted anything at 480 degrees. At 30 minutes the squash was done. The apples had burned and turned to mush. The dried cranberries had hardened and were uneatable. I question why you wanted this on parchment paper.
Your thoughts please
Jason Sanford says
The recipe says to start the vegetables when the oven is not preheated. If you baked it at 480 the whole time, then they definitely would burn. Katie’s recipe says to put the vegetables in an unpreheated oven and THEN turn it on to 480. Is that what the version of the recipe you saw said as well, or did it misprint the recipe?
David Berman says
Hi Katie,
Thank you very much for you Instagram/blog postings. I didn’t bake until your postings with simple ingredients and simple-enough steps even I could follow. Your creations are yummy. I do have two questions for you:
1. You advise always putting to-be-baked goods on the middle rack. Does this also apply to convection toaster ovens that specifically have a ‘bake’ rack setting at the bottom?
2. In some recipes (e.g. Mocha frap) you use instant coffee granules. Have you used/substituted drip coffee or ground coffee for the instant coffee granules, and if so, what was the conversion?
Thanks again, please keep it up!
-David

Kate Gerry says
Hi Katie I just bought your dessert cookbook on kindle. Is there an index page with all the recipes so that they can be scanned quickly? I see the different sections but it is slow scrolling through.
Jason Sanford says
Hi Kate! Thank you so much for getting the book! There should be a table of contents at the very beginning (right before the start of chapter one). If your version is missing this (or if you find it missing any of the recipes Katie ever mentions as being in the book), definitely let me know! -Jason
dee says
I have a question… how do you eat so much fibrous food daily, and not have health complications? Like once, I ate too much fiber daily for a bit less than a month straight (less than 30 days, >25g a day avg.), and then I was in and out of the hospital/generally in excruciating pain and immobile for month on account of a consequent partial intestinal blockage. Do you just drink a gallon of water too, to ease it out? I’d like to think I don’t just have a weak digestive system…

I would like to see apple donuts-Katie style. And possibly a sweet potato frosting. Look forward to future recipes.
Jason Sanford says
Apple donuts and sweet potato frosting sound amazing! Until Katie comes up with a recipe, I’d try her blueberry donut recipe and replace the blueberries with diced apples :).
veronica says
Hi, it really is amazing what you achieve by eating one of the most delicious and beneficial foods in the world, such as chocolate, I am going to put your advice into practice. Thank you very much, you are my inspiration.

Katie, your blog is such an inspiration. 8 years ago when I started thinking about creating a blog, yours was the first blog I was reading that inspired me to create my own! So glad to see how successful you have become!

Hi, I thought it was a book I ordered. I do not want to print all those pages. Is a hard copy available of healthy breakfast? Thank you,
Jason Sanford says
Hi, unfortunately not, but Katie definitely doesn’t want anyone stuck with a purchase they didn’t mean to get and she said to give you a full refund, no problem. She is so appreciative that you wanted the book in the first place if it had been available in hard copy. We really wish it could have been and were so disappointed when that couldn’t happen.

Cecilia Hasleton says
Dear Katie,
Thank you so much for this blog! I am constantly on the lookout for recipes that can be easily adapted for my family’s needs (I’m a vegetarian, my husband is allergic to onions and I try to feed my son a mainly processed sugar-free diet, except for desserts.) So this blog of delicious food that we can make and enjoy brings me so much joy! I’m so glad I found you. I’m inspired by your attitude toward and love for food.
Sincerely,

Looking forward to hearing from you.
nathalie says
Katie,
Thank you.
Your healthy (vegan) alternatives to the baked yummy treats that my family were raised on are a Godsend. Thanks to the cookbook I received at Christmas I have been able to retire my fat & sugar filled cookie recipes and replace them with tasty alternatives that satisfy my newly adopted vegan WOE while keeping my ominvore hoard of 5 kiddos from becoming mutinous. The blueberry loaf, cinnamon rolls and lemon donuts are in such demand… the kids are asking for them!
BTW… the blueberry loaf is just as good with rhubarb & strawberry from the garden as it is when made with blueberries.
Thanks for all you do.
Sincerely,
Nathalie Creamer

How can you call this the “healthy” dessert blog when your recipes are full of either white sugar or other types of sugar? most recipes have equal parts sugar and flour which is insane! Katie you’re a total liar and deceiver in order to make money!

I tried to making your keto chocolate chip cookies. I don’t know what I did wrong, but they didn’t flatten out like a cookie does when you bake it. Please help!

Hey, if that ever happens, just press them down after baking 🙂
nathalie says
Listen. I don’t want to fan-girl all over you, Katie… but your cookbook. Oh my goodness!
I am about half way through making all 80 recipes. I have yet to hit on one that isn’t ending up in the “make this again” pile. My family love them all and your healthier alternatives have nudged old family favorites right out of the recipe index box! (Chocolate Pixies… I’m looking at you!)
I’m bringing in samples to my co-workers and about half of them have gone out to get their own copies of your book. #worthit
Ok, I gotta get back to my chocolate brownie waffles before they get cold. Thank you for all you do.

The greyhound racing and TAB advertisementsdo not suit your site…
Jonny,
Jason Sanford says
Ads on sites nowadays are set up so they’re specific to the user. They are not set by the blog author. For example, go to any major clothing store website, click around a little, and then come back to this site (or another food blog) and click around a little here… you will almost assuredly see an ad for the website you were just on. It’s the same reason you are served targeted ads on faceook or instagram and other people won’t see the same ads as you. Katie definitely wouldn’t ever specifically place a greyhound ad on her site 🙂
ilean jane says

I love your blog! Your outlook on eating seems very healthy and inspiring. I am transitioning into a healthy vegan diet and loving it…your blog is such a great resource and a lot of fun to read.
Kimmy says
Hi Katie, fan of your website, however lately trying to print your recipes is not so much fun. The pictures and I’m assuming ads are all that show on the first page, you have to print 3 pages just to get the recipe….anyway this can get updated, it is such a pain to try to manipulate this to get it to print properly on one page. Thanks much!
Jason Sanford says
Hi Kimmy, we are so sorry for the trouble! It’s printing fine on our end so I don’t even know what could be going on. Katie is working with a developer on a full redesign to make the site MUCH more user friendly (faster loading, etc.) and we’re hoping to launch it in February. Hopefully the print issue you’re seeing is a temporary glitch and will fix itself before then, but no matter what it will be fixed soon, along with many of the other frustrating things about her website’s use-ability. 🙂
Jason (media relations)
Jason Sanford says
Oh, and if it doesn’t correct itself before then, just select the text you want (in this case, the recipe), right-click, and select print. Let me know if that works! (If nothing else, copying and pasting into a word document also is an option.)
Juanita says
We’ve enjoyed Aldi’s frozen Sweet Potato Casserole with a pecan-brown sugar topping for years. I’ve often wished for a way to make it healthier, but haven’t the time or know-how. Our DIL is coming from out of state & expects to see it on my table the Saturday after Thanksgiving and Aldi decided to offer it only 1 week, instead of for the season. And, yep, you guessed it: it was offered LAST week!
Any suggestions? Thank you for your time and expertise. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family.
PS So…while this request isn’t technically for a dessert …it could be, right???? Add a dollop of whipped cream on top and voila! Just sayin.
Jason Sanford says
Hi! Have you seen this one? I haven’t tried Aldi’s, but you could always skip the marshmallow topping and sprinkle your favorite granola on top for crunch! https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2018/11/15/vegan-sweet-potato-casserole-recipe/

Take care,

Jason Sanford says
Hi, thanks for letting us know. We really hate seeing things like that. Unfortunately there are just so many that we’ve given up even reporting them because it was becoming a full time job and as soon as you’d successfully get them to take down one recipe, they’ put another up in its place. It’s really awful and by far Katie’s least favorite part of blogging.

If you eat like this all the time, you’ll be “as big as a barrel” by the time you are 45. You’d better be pretty selective with your diet!!
Namrata says
I just wanted to drop Katie a note to say – thanks for writing this awesome blog! In this age – your recipes have provided my family with easy and fun ways to make dessert. I love the variety of recipes and the sheer dependability – I trust chocolate covered katie, so I don’t mind taking a leap of faith on some of the stranger sounding recipes (Black beans in a brownie?!, really?).
On a separate side note – after weeks of using your blog fairly religiously – I just happened to see some notes Katie published regarding the rumors that she’s been confronted about an eating disorder. This infuriated me so much, that I wanted to publicly throw my support fully behind Katie on this one. Her weight, and her eating schedule and / or exercise schedule is absolutely irrelevant to her profession – which, as I see it, is to spread good information about baking and cooking healthier food. Katie, thank you for shining a spotlight on the double standard that women face and the incredible hypocrisy out there.
I hope you continue creating lovely recipes, staying healthy and absolutely ignoring anybody who thinks that how you look or what you personally eat is relevant to your work and / or your blog. Keep sharing your appreciation for good food and keep modeling professional and strong female behavior for all the haters out there.
Crystal West says
Katie,
You are lovely and your recipe for banana pancakes was great. I jut found your web sight last night and decided to make them this morning. I always love to see young people succeed and I just wanted to wish you all the best. I added a little bit of honey and some vanilla to the recipe and I enjoyed it a lot. I WILL BE BACK:)
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Thank you so much for such a sweet comment 🙂

I’m so happy that I tried your black bean brownies recipe. I was hesistant for a while, it didn’t seem possible. They are amazing, you are correct. Thank you so much, I enjoy trying so many of your different recipes. I am a fan.

I just had a few minutes to spare at the moment, but when I got your email about your blog “do over” I wanted to let you know that what I found in my short visit was amazing! What an improvement. I will be back later when I have a bit more time to wander. Thanks for doing this.
Maggie Shero says
Katie thanks so much for your delicious recipes. I wonder if they are gluten free friendly? If I sub gluten free flour for regular flour will they work
Jason Sanford says
Hi, many of her recipes have that option 🙂
If it says gf ap flour, that means she tested the recipe with something like Bob’s cup for cup flour. Hope that helps!
Belle says
Can you direct me to any of your dessert recipes that don’t use a lot of sugar? I try to avoid eating sugar but am looking for some good vegan dessert recipes. I wanted to make the coconut bread but then noticed that it used a cup of sugar. I don’t use sugar substitutes either. Am I out of luck as far as desserts? I did make the black bean brownies that my family enjoyed a lot.

All of her banana bread recipes are really good! https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/healthy-banana-bread/
Diane says
Hi Katie,
I love your recipes. I’ve made lots of them with no problem BUT The other day I made your No Bake Date Brownies. I followed the instructions to the letter. After having it refrigerated for about 3 hrs , I was ready to cut it. It came out all granulated pieces. can’t cut squares at all. I know you said that it would be dry but this is ridiculous. HELP what did I do wrong and is there something that I can do to revive it.

Hi! I just found your site and am anxious to try some of the recipes. However, I was just placed on a low sodium diet and was kind of disappointed that the recipes don’t include the sodium content in the nutrition facts portion. Can you supply this info to me? I’m especially interested in the cauliflower cake, healthy chocolate frosting and black bean brownies. Thanks so much.
Dennis says
Hi Katie,
I really like your site and enjoy the healthy and innovative recipes that I have seen and tried.
BUT, my complaint would be that when I click to review a recipe, I have to wade through a whole series of other recipe links to get to the one I was looking for. At times, I just click away as it is tooooo difficult to get to what I was selecting.
Sometime, give us less than your all, I’ll look through it myself
Thanks

Thanks you for the pumpkin banana bread recipe! Try it as muffins — spelt with approx 1/4 cup each of almond flour and cocoa powder making up the last half cup of dry ingredients. You’ll finesse the proportions. So rich and lovely. Added raisins in some, pecans in others, white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips…something for everyone all in same muffin tray.
LuLuShulz says
Please, please, please stop labeling recipes with “keto” or “paleo.” These are both very dangerous, unhealthy patterns of eating. They may show short term benefits for some, but long term followers of these eating patterns increase their risk factors for heart disease, diabetes, and cancers. Please read the research and not just the one-off short term biased studies. Nutrition is a science, not a sales pitch!
Renee Collier says
I’m trying to make my daughter some almond ice cream with the new ice cream maker we got – I see you have what seems like a great basic recipe – I have a question – when you say add 1/2 cup of nut butter – do I melt the butter or just soften it – I have tried other recipes and they haven’t seemed to work – thank you for any help/advice you can give me
Jason Sanford says
No need to melt if using the blender method, but since you’re doing the ice cream maker version, yes probably a good idea!

Just saw a chocolate pie on your site that came on to my email this morning. Looked delish. Wanted to try it, however you have to go through the riggors of hell to find it…still haven’t found the recipe. I don’t have facebook or twitter so I guess I am lost. I have purchased your books and am very disappointed in the difficulty to get the recipes that are featured.

Hi Nancy, clicking the link to the blog from the email should take you right to the recipe. What link did you click that took you somewhere else? It is also on the blog homepage today 🙂

GfDfBaking says
This website is perfect for my family. My mom can’t have gluten or dairy, so all the vegan options on here are very useful. I love baking, but it’s a struggle when you have to substitute flour, butter, milk, etc. Stumbling upon this site allows me to bake without spending half an hour trying to figure out how to incorporate ingredients that are safe for my mom. On top of that, these recipes taste good and are healthier than most recipes, as well as showing multiple options as how to make something if you don’t have certain tools. I recommend these recipes to other families with allergies or to people wanting to make healthier desserts.
BakingWithSubstitution says
I came to this website when I was trying to find a way to make oat-milk icecream, because my mom has Celiac disease and Eosinophilic Esophagitis. After reading a few other recipes and browsing the site, I realized that this was perfect for me, as the struggle to bake with countless substitution gets hard when it comes to mainly dairy desserts. Thank you, Katie, for making these recipes, it really has changed the way I’m able to bake.
Liz Gaskill says
Just tried you Chocolate Workout Ice Cream. Great job! It is really good! Thank you for all your work, so that the rest of us who watch out weight can enjoy the results.

Barb says
I have more of a question than a comment. I have been enjoying making my own larabars for years but came across an issue when making Strawberry/Lemon bars. I can’t seem to get the right consistency for the bars to set. question is: what ingredient would be a good choice to add so the mixture becomes more firm? protein powder? more crushed almonds?
would appreciate any advice offered.
Someone says
Hi!
Nice blog, thanks for all the recipes. Just a suggestion though, I’m not a fan of the presentation.
When I see a recipe, I’d love to see a nice picture (you nailed that part!) and right next to it, the calories and macros (which I haven’t seen on your website). Anyone who’s serious about fitness/weight loss needs that info (for 100g and for a portion, with a picture showing clearly how big a portion is).
Last thing, I’d add a dynamic recipe module so that people can chose the quantity: if I select 4 person, the ingredients will automatically adjust. I’ve seen a few cooking websites using this, it’s great.
/my2cents, keep up the good work!
CCK Media Team says
Hi, Katie actually does include nutition facts for her recipes – they are linked right under the ingredients/instructions for the recipe :).
In terms of the scale-able module, it can cause issues because many recipes can’t be scaled up or down in exact amounts without changing the baking time or reducing/increasing the liquid or adjusting one or more of the ingredients for best results. Hope that helps!
David Gary says
This website has saved my sanity! Thank you so much for all of your awesome recipes!

Also my husband is diabetic, so double blessing. I am going to ttry youer recipes and hope i can make them for us both. thank ytou so much!

I hope this finds you safe and well in these challenging times.

I really appreciate your website’s interesting and meaningful content, I would be happy to be a part of your website.
Here I’m writing to you because I have some interesting ideas for you that would be perfect fits for you.
Thank you for your time. I look forward to working with you!

Hi,
We are willing to advertise on your website. Kindly reply back to discuss this opportunity.

Hi Katie,
I love all your brownie recipes!
Do you think I can use canned yams to make your sweet potato brownies and just reduce the sugar? The food pantry is giving us yams this year at Thanksgiving, and while I’m not a huge fan of yams, I’m sure I can bake something with them. Thanks!
Mo
CCK Media Team says
You definitely could! Yes, just play around with the amount of sugar, and also be sure to mash the yams very very well.
Barbara Binstock says
I’m writing a health cookbook Health and allergy information plus Gluten & Dairy Free Kosher recipes (“How to TREAT yourself”), mainly for my family, friends and grandkids.
I must have your chocolate nice cream in my freezer at all times forever!
Can I quote your banana-based no-churn ice cream recipes, directing my
readers to your website of course? Possibly some others you inspired, with credit of course.
Thanks
Jennifer says
I still can’t get to the recipes
CCK Media Team says
Hi Jennifer, what do you mean? What happens if you try to click on a recipe post?
Jennifer says
It goes to the page that talks all about Katie. I’m trying to get the chocolate sink pie for Thanksgiving. Maybe you have a website or you could just E-mail the recipe.
Thank you,
Jennifer

Elaine Woolf says
The black bean brownies have you ever added nuts to it the recipe? Also what do you think about using tapioca flour instead of flour?
CCK Media Team says
We have not tried tapioca flour. But you can definitely add nuts 🙂
Elaine Woolf says
OK I am re-texting because my speak text ruined my question but I wanted to know if I could use tapioca flour in place of the instant oats?
Bonn says
Happy New Year Katie! Thanks for all the great recipes! I have never made cauliflower pizza crust and am going to give it a try. I was wondering if there is so much water in the cauliflower to be squeezed out, why add 1/4 cup of water? Would the crust stay together without the additional water and less squeezing or is there a science behind the recipe? Thanks so much!!
Justice says
This is an amazing recipe for parties and just when every lol
IIIIIIIIII LOVED IT!!!!!!!1
Amy says
Just want to say you’re awesome. I have yet to try any of your recipes and not love them. I am about as not vegan as it gets, so this is shocking info. Who knew 🙂 Anyway, I am a follower for life now and will believe you when you say to use beans when I’m sure that sounds gross– because it’s always DELICIOUS 😉
CCK Media Team says
Thank you so much 🙂 🙂

Jake says
You’re a…. a cannibal?
Louise says
Where are the serving size for cookies?
Mady says
The baking is very easy in the Leto brownies.
Would definitely try it out!😊
Laura says
Where are the recipes???
Susan Cairns says
Coconut has twice as much saturated fat as butter. You should have your doctor check your HDL and LDL.
Eileen says
I may have missed this detail in the recipes, but is the quantity of cookies per recipe included somewhere. Because the calories can vary a lot if the batch I make yields 10 cookies and the same batch you make yields 15 cookies.
Thanks for your help.
Brandy Garcia says
I really appreciate your recipes. My son has a lot of allergies so we have to substitute a lot in other recipes but your recipes work well for us. They have simple common ingredients and the recipes turn out yummy and the texture is usually good and resembles a recipe that isn’t allergy free. Thank You!
Passing by gals says
These are such basic recipes that you don’t need the site. There’s no creativity. The site is also fixated on her being pretty & thin. I seriously doubt she eats much of her healthy desserts which aren’t healthy just healthier and definitely not low calorie. It’s a nice site for beginning healthy baking but color me cynical I think the main focus is long hair short shorts and tight tank tops which apparently attracts women too. There are women rich off of being pretty and dressing well. voyeurism I guess.
Sandy says
Just found your page and have to laugh with you at the “fat slug” weirdness. I tried to prepare my daughters for jr high “mean girls” by telling them that you will be called too tall, too short, too fat, too skinny, too cute, too ugly… blah blah blah. It sounds like you have a healthy head on your shoulders, it’s getting there that can be a real challenge for some.
I found you by the Avocado Mousse recipe (which I haven’t made yet).
As an older mom I have to say your writing is darling and your personal photos show a lovely young lady. Haters be damned. Keep up the good healthy life and thanks for the recipes.
CCK Media Team says
Thank you so much! Yes, please tell your daughters (if they ever have any doubts… which it sounds like they might not, given the stellar example you’re setting), what people say online really can’t be used as a truthful metric of anything. I’ve been called too fat and too thin sometimes in the same post.

Steven says
I have a request — IRISH SODA BREAD! St. Patties Day is coming 😀
Susan Cawley says
Hi Katie, you used to have a choc chip pie made with garbanzo beans and dates instead of sugar. Are you able to share that again? Thank you!
Deb says
Hi there,
I can’t seem to find the nutrition listing on any of the recipes that I’ve looked at… especially important is the net caarbs count please …??
CCK Media Team says
Hi, nutrition facts are always linked in the recipe box under the ingredients/instructions 🙂
Tamara says
I am SOOO happy I found your blog! Im a major chocolate lover and believe in eating it everyday which is sadly why my blood sugar levels are a bit higher now. I’ve turned a new leaf however and am now on a keto diet. I am so excited to try all your keto desserts. Please keep them coming!

Barb says
Hey!!
I saw your black bean brownie recipe on an email from Atlas Protein bars. I tried it and was pleased! So I got your cookbook. LOVE IT. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and I could eat whatever I wanted until I was about 40. But now, at 52, I find I have to watch what I eat more and more, and I’m looking to cut my sugar and simple carbs without sacrificing taste and enjoying my food. Even though I don’t eat fast food, don’t drink soda, etc, and I exercise daily, my love of desserts and sweets has caught up with me a little bit! 🙁 Your recipes are great for thinking outside the box and substituting where possible. I love to bake and cook and can easily adapt your recipes and various options. Soooo….this morning I had the blueberry oatmeal bake, and it was yummy. Just made the pumpkin chocolate chip loaf as muffins (it made 10) and I’m eager to try them. I used whole wheat flour and threw a handful of walnuts in as well. 😉 I think it will be a nice mid-morning snack at work.
For the brownies, by the way, I used date syrup as a sweetener. I tend to like dark chocolate anyway, not too sweet, and with a little date syrup and the chocolate chips, it was perfect. I put walnuts in the second batch. I may try cutting up some dates as well to add in next time. I’d also try honey as well.
Thanks for giving me some yummy options with flexibility to use different ingredients and experiment a bit. 🙂
CCK Media Team says
💗😊
Barb says
Soooooo……the blueberry oatmeal bake warmed up with a scoop of plain yogurt, sliced banana, and a handful of chocolate chips was delicious this AM. And the muffins made from the pumpkin loaf recipe are great….and the added walnuts gave it a nice taste too. I typically bake muffins, breads, coffee cake, etc about once a week….always looking for more options to keep it interesting. Thanks!
CCK Media Team says
Thank YOU for making the recipes!
Barb says
Thank you, Katie, for your recipes. I have some complicated health issues and am on a special diet as per my doctor. Your recipes are helping me to stay on my special diet, which in turn helps my health. I appreciate you and your team and website.
m3r1 says
Regarding the 100 calorie cake, can you make this as mini or regular muffins?
CCK Media Team says
We haven’t tried so can’t advise on baking time, but we don’t see why not!
G says
Nothing about these recipes shows artistry. She’s copying and modifying basic recipes to be healthier. Some are good some are gross. Let’s be Frank. She’s known bc she is pretty. Let’s be Frank 2- she barely eats. It’s called science. Her recipes are not low calories just healthier.
Will says
Hmmm… really? Interesting.
Heather says
I am 50 . I have had 3 strokes and now I am in remission from cancer 5 months 😊. I found you recipes and they sound delicious. I can not wait to make some of them for my family
CCK Media Team says
That is such wonderful news about your remission, and we hope your family likes the recipes! 🙂
Sharon says
I made your applesauce muffins. Used coconut flour and reduced to 3/4 cup to account for difference. After 20 minutes muffins were soggy. Added another 10, still soggy. Let them rest. Still not good. What happened?
CCK Media Team says
Hi yes definitely don’t sub coconut flour in recipes that call for any other flour, because it’s completely different.
Amanda Thompson says
I went looking for a brownie recipe that’s part walnut/date (you know those raw brownies) and part zucchini brownie (because hiding behind in dessert is my move)… Katie, have you tried something like this? Moister than the raw, but flour and refined sugar free… with sneaky veg!
CCK Media Team says
Hmm the closest thing we have is the unbaked brownies. Maybe add shredded zucchini in there somehow??
KC DOUGLAS says
I just made the cauliflour alfredo sauce….DELICIOUS & NUTRICIOUS!!! Thank you ever so much for the recipe. I admit I was skeptical; however, you have definitely changed my mind in regards to this recipe! OUTSTANDING!!!
Julio says
I purchased and downloaded the Hello Breakfast e-book but I can’t save it to my computer. I was able to print it but I would like to save it. What is the problem? I am using the latest Adobe product.
CCK Media Team says
Hi! We are not sure, as you should be able to save it. But we are sending you the actual file so you can save that one instead. Let us know if you don’t see it within the next 10 minutes in your inbox 🙂
Diane Wyatt says
I really enjoy your vegan recipes like the cauliflower Alfredo sauce because my husband and I are dairy intolerant.
I have tried to find pizza dough in my home location of a population of 200,000+ but find it difficult. Most pizza doughs include milk as an ingredient. So make sure your dairy intolerant or vegan followers are aware of this. I do love your recipes!
Larry says
Can the chocolate chip cookie recipe
using coconut flour be doubled.
CCK Media Team says
We would think so but haven’t tried. Be sure to report back if you do try!
Sandie says
Hello Katie, LOVE all your recipes – can’t tell you how many times I have made the black bean brownies! Was wondering if you have ever come up with a Yule Log recipe. After all, you definitely do wonders with everything vegan chocolate!
Coby says
These are SO good! I was skeptical about black beans in brownies, but a friend of mine told me to try this recipe, that it tasted like fudge. She was absolutely right! My whole family thought they were delicious, and I did NOT mention the beans!
Pat says
Katie,
A couple of years back, I think you posted about the Isi cream dispenser and how cool it worked. I bought one and have been using whipping cream in it. However, I’d like to know if there is a vegan or vegetarian option for using it or a lighter option – maybe cashew or almond milk or creamer? If I’m wrong about your post, my apologies. Thanks!
CCK Media Team says
Hi! She hasn’t used that one in years but did used to put in coconut cream 🙂 https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/homemade-reddi-wip-whipped-cream/
LRae says
Katie, do you create all of your recipes? Or do you use recipes you have found and just post them on your site for your followers to find easy? Are the instruction videos ones you made; is that you? Or do you use the video from the recipe you may have used (if you use other’s recipes)? This looking up food on blogs is new to me and I am just trying to figure out how it works, or at least how you do it. Thank you.
Annie S. says
Dear Katie,
My name is Annie, and I am the owner of a healthy baking blog called Desserts for the Better. I post lightened up and better-for-you versions of desserts!
I am hosting a cookie decorating contest to kickstart the Christmas season, and I was wondering if you would like to help me judge? I would be honored to work with you.
CCK Media Team says
Hi Annie! Thank you so much for thinking of us, the cookie decorating contest sounds like so much fun! Katie says she is terrible at judging things because she always wants everything to win, but we are excited to see what everyone comes up with and who your judges choose to win!
Annie S. says
Thank you!
Chrissy says
Katie, you have CHANGED my life!!!! I am not exaggerating here!
As part of my health makeover I did in 2021, I started doing more baking/cooking (and have lost 30 pounds!). However, I hate the time it always takes, the not-knowing what I’m doing wrong when something doesn’t turn out, the in-my-opinion unnecessary ingredients & steps, the fact that I can’t make substitutions that work for our allergies/taste buds/pantry, and the several kitchen gadgets they require (I’m a big fan of simplicity!)
Discovering your blog was a great blessing! Not only do you usually use things I’ve already got (both ingredient-wise & gadget-wise), but it is also very few ingredients & steps. It helped me rediscover what I used to love about cooking/baking in my childhood.
The other fruit it has borne is helping me & my family be able to eat healthier/cleaner (and I use your non-dessert recipes too), while not compromising our budget (here in Canada eating healthy is NOT cheap!), AND not having to fight with picky eaters who also have conditions of diabetes, dairy/soy/egg/gluten allergies, ADHD, ODD, and Autism.
Does anyone KNOW how hard it is to find really good & easy recipes that are low-carb, low bad-fats, but also dairy/soy/egg/gluten-free?????
(Other than here of course!)
I have HIGHLY recommended your blog to everyone I know, and will continue to do so! I just wanted to make sure to tell you how much your blog has meant to me. Have a wonderful day 🙂
Cristie says
Hello Katie, you are a woman like me (chocoholic). It is so awesome that you post such wonderful deserts that can be used by vegans.
My husband and I were over 7 years (and both my babies ate vegan their first few years. I am planning on going back to the vegan diet/way of life soon, as my body feels so much healthier on the diet. So I’m so glad I found your blog.it was been difficult finding recipes, but now that I found your site, I’m so excited to try many of them
Nancy says
I Katie…Your blog emails are great but I don’t cook anymore and I am trying to clear out my emails. I don’t see a way to unsubscribe at the bottom of the emails. How do I unsubscribe?
Many thanks
CCK Media Team says
Not sure why the button wasn’t working, but we just did it manually for you so you should no longer get them. Thank you for wanting the emails when you were cooking!
Beatrice Katy Spencer says
Is your healthy desserts keto?
CCK Media Team says
Here are a bunch that are! https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/keto-dessert-recipes-vegan/
Leslie says
Hello Katie:
I made the coconut milk ice cream but did not have an ice cream maker. I did however, place the ice cubes of the mixture in my ninja blender and it came out really icy. Any ideas as to why this happened? I don’t want to make it again and have it do the same thing. Thank you for your earliest reply. Kind regards, Leslie Queen
Esther Cormier says
Is oat flour healthier for you than all purpose flour?
Also, I got your recipe for sugar-free chocolate chips, but haven’t made them yet. If you don’t want to invest in the chocolate chip molds, after it’s frozen, can it be put in a Vitamix or food processor to break into chunks rather then cutting them manually for chips?
Deb says
Thanks for all the great recipes!!
I have a few comments – for me anyway:
– the scale you recommend and link to is not good for setting a plate on it. First, the dial makes the plate wobbly and second, one can’t see the numbers. It certainly is fine for smaller objects such as measuring cups etc, but definitely not for plates. There are several at good prices that have an angled display that show up well when larger objects are placed on them.
– I don’t know your audience but a few keto recipes would be welcomed by me!
Thanks again!!
Deb
CCK Media Team says
Hi Deb! We really like this one – it’s a bit more expensive than some of the other food scales but worth the price! https://amzn.to/3Qr4Wwk
Katie will continue to post more keto recipes for sure. Here are some of the ones she’s done in the past: https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/tag/keto
Allison M. says
Hi Katie! I just want to let you know how wonderful your blog is, and to thank you for your recipes and your upbeat inspiration for eating healthy!
I have lost 135lbs in the last three years, I have about another 60-70 to go. The past 6 months or so have gotten really hard, my weight loss stalled and plateaued. You and your recipes are helping me to kickstart my healthy eating, and get back into gear without feeling deprived!
So thank you!
P.S. Have you ever considered an app?
CCK Media Team says
Thank you so incredibly much! I like to keep my recipes free on the blog, but maybe a free app someday? 🙂

Riya says
Dear Katie
I am in real awe of your work, and hope that one day when I grow older, I will be able to do something similar!
I am a 16 year old high-schooler, from CA, obsessed with the idea of baking. Since no one in my family or close friends knows much about baking, I decided to start my own blog (www.thehungryblogger.com) and a YouTube channel, to connect with those I can learn from. I have been sharing my passion, creations and insights with those who may care, and slowly but surely I am getting subscribers! Some of my own recipes have received over 13K views and my blog has had over 55K visitors! I have even received amazing feedback from the founders of Crumbl Cookies
My parents keep pushing me towards academia and say that this passion will not help me pay my bills at and beyond college! I want to prove the world wrong by getting to the next level. Can you please give me any insights? At least a one-sentence of encouragement that I can post on my website, so that I am taken more seriously!
Any help will put me over the moon.
Thanks and keep sharing
Riya

Hi Katie,
Re your Oreo Cupcakes – when crumbling the Oreo’s for the frosting, do I include the cream centre of the cookies?
Pauline
CCK Media Team says
You can use all of the cookie and the cream 🙂
Roberta says
When your recipe calls for rolled oats does it matter if you use old fashioned or quick cook? Specifically looking at Breakfast Oatmeal Cupcakes
CCK Media Team says
Either will work there 🙂
Mrs Rose N. says
Wondering….how come NO eggs in your Chocolate Chip cookie recipe, black bean brownie and Mug Cake recipes? Interested in more than ‘they’re not needed’. Thank you.
Charlene. says
I want to make your cranberry loaf recipe but the ingredients aren’t listed with how many cups and teaspoons etc. I would like very much to make this but can’t afford it not to turn out by guessing with the high cost of ingredients now. I will make this for Christmas breakfast if I get a reply soon. Love your recipes, as I have food allergies and sensitivities, so most store bought things I can’t eat. Happy holidays. Charlene

Benjamin Yankelove says
Hi,
Love your blog! I tried a takeoff of your 3 ingredient chocolate bars (no sugar), I added pascha chocolate 1 cup, tsp or 2 agave, tsp or 2 vanilla, some MCT oil (garden of life), and Frontier mint extract, and some almond milk. One week it was great. I have a chocolate mold. Today it came out piecey! Any suggestions?
Pat says
Hi Katie.
I want to first thank you for so many wonderful recipes. I’ve tried many that have become some of my favorites.
Quite a while ago (years), you mentioned a whipped cream dispenser and I bought one of them. Recently, the moving company lost mine and I can’t remember which one it was but I loved it. I was wondering if you have a recommendation of one or remember which one you suggested.
Thank you again for so many recipes with lots and lots of options. Seeing an email from you always brightens my day.
Don says
Hey Katie, I love the recipes, but do your recipes include low carb ones?

Hello from UK committed follower.
I’m making your chocolate fudge cake for family visiting this week and would like to ask if the recipe definitely requires:-
1 1/2 tbsp baking powder?
(Or is it 1 1/2 tsp BP)?
Apologies for questioning, I would just like to make sure I’ve read it correctly as a Brit.
Thanks so much for your posts, recipes, inspirational healthy options & time.

I don’t know when you wrote the 5 Ingredient Avocado Fudge Bites post, but in it you asked if you should you adopt a puppy… YES, YES, YES!!!
I love chocolate , but I love dogs more! (I’ve been helping our local dog shelter.
I’ve surprised my friends with those chocolate covered avocado balls. “What?! This is avocado?” YUM!
