When making the switch to a more whole-foods based diet, it can be really overwhelming, especially when you’re scouring the internet for healthier recipes and seeing ingredients you may not be well-versed with. Being as I create a ton of healthy sweet treats, I wanted to compile a healthy baking pantry essentials list to hopefully make it a little easier on you!
These are things I use almost every single day, or while developing my recipes. Sure, they aren’t all necessary and you can often make substitutes if you don’t have an ingredient (especially if it’s a mix in like chopped nuts or fruit), but this is a good list of basics you may want to stock your pantry with.
I’ve linked my Amazon storefront here, incase you want brand suggestions!
