I enjoy to bake and should I say my family loves that I enjoy to bake! I like using healthy alternatives when baking. I think my kids get their sweet tooth from me but I have healthy options. Products that are gluten-free or have low sugar as well as natural ingredients.
My little ones can be so picky especially my daughter who does not like meat which is a big source of protein so in order to make sure she has the proper amount of protein daily I have to be sneaky. A fun way to do so is to make Wholesome Cravings products and add other ingredients to the mix such as seeds and nuts. There are so many gluten-free products on the market that taste like cardboard but with Wholesome Cravings products they are delicious, moist and a much more healthy option versus the typical store-bought shelf products.
- 1 Package (6.7 oz) Decadent Chocolate Chip Protein Baking mix
- 1/4 Cup + 2 TBS. Pumpkin Puree
- 2 Eggs
- 4 TBS. of Butter or Non-Butter Substitute
- 1 Cup + 2 TBS. Sugar or Sweetner
- 2 TBS/ Organic Ground Flax Seeds
- 1/3 Cup Chopped Walnuts
- Mix the baking mix, pumpkin puree, eggs, butter and sugar together until fully blended. Then add the flax seeds in and mix. Crush up walnuts and sprinkle over the protein bites. Coat pan with a cooking spray (I used silicone muffin pan). Pour batter into the pan. Bake for 18-25 minutes on 350 degrees.
- The boxed recipe did not include the flax seeds and walnuts. These 2 items I added for extra protein and crunch.
Wholesome Cravings offers 4 delicious flavors: Banana Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Spice, Decadent Chocolate Chip and Apple Ginger.
These delicious products can be purchased directly from Wholesome Cravings for just $5.99 each!

Never heard of Wholesome Cravings before, but that banana chocolate chip one is calling my name! I could go for one of your protein bites too.
I joke with people that I eat Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups to get my protein, but these are seriously a much better way š
This looks like a baked treat that I would approve of for my wheat allergy family members.
I’m not actually gluten-free, but I love finding snacks like this because if it tastes good without gluten, then why not? These look really yummy!
Oh yum! I pretty much love anything with walnuts in it and these sound awesome! Thank you for the recipe.
I’ve never heard of Wholesome cravings before , I would love to try the Apple Ginger I bet its delicious!
I don’t think I have ever seen these mixes! Your recipes sounds really good! Definitely would like to give them a try.
I see a banana chocolate chip mix that is so calling my name!
these mixes all sound very good.. We would definitely give them a try..
My husband would love these. I’ve had the pumpkin spice and they are quite good.
I love that the recipe uses flax and pumpkin, two of my favourite things to bake with!
THose look yumm! My husband has been adding tons of walnuts to his diet to boost the ‘good fat’ intake.
YUM! I love pumpkin!! It’s probably my favorite! š
Being that these are packed with protein, they would also be great for someone suffering with anorexia. It’s a sneaky way to pack in good stuff and that protein.
I love a ton of GF desserts mainly because they are chocolate and decadent. Thanks for sharing.
Mmm these look yummy. The bannna chocolate chip flovor sounds delcious!
I’m always looking for protein snacks. Love the fact that these only take 10 minutes to prepare.
I haven’t heard of this brand, but I’m going to look for them. The pumpkin spice looks like it would be tasty, too!
I have never heard of this brand before, but I will have to look for it at the store. This would be a great afterschool snack for my kids.
these look amazing! I would love to try the pumpkin spice, we are huge pumpkin fans. This brand is new to me but I have to check this out.
Yum! I’d love to try the Banana Chocolate Chip! I love that they are only 5.99 each!
These Protein Bites look delicious. I will have to try these out!
I think i need to start a Gluten FREE board on Pinterest. My mom is limiting her Gluten and this would be perfect for her.
I agree with you – there are so o oooo many gluten free products on the market that taste like straight cardboard, and cost a lot of money for you to find that out. Anytime you can create something yummy and good for your family, its a great day. Iām going to try this recipe, as my son is gluten and wheat free (and so are the rest of us, it makes it easier and its better for our health too).
Yum these look and sound delicious!! I am always up for trying new products like this!
This really does look decadent! I’ll have to look for this brand in my store.
This looks sooooo yummy! I’m def going to be trying these out right away!
These look delicious and I love that they are slightly healthier than standard versions. Baking is my favorite hobby!
Whoa! These look addicting! But the perfect substitute for my sugary cravings. Thanks for sharing.
I’m always looking for great gluten free treats for some friends. Thank you so much for sharing!!
those look yummy! I would love to try the pumpkin spice. That is my favorite. I believe that pumpkin things should be eaten all year long :)!!
I’ve never heard of them either, but these look amazing! I bet my kids would love them!
I’ll have to check them out. My son is just like your daughter as he doesn’t like to eat meat. Wholesome Cravings would be such a great way to help with his protein intake.
Decadent Chocolate Chip is right. I could go with that
Those look really good. Love that you added flaxseeds.
We will have to try these. My kids definitely need more protein!
I love their logo! These look great – I am definitely going to give these mixes a try.
I haven’t seen these, I’ll have to look for this – I’d love to try this recipe.
They Actually Look Inviting!!
Love finding new ways to get protein in!
Oh yum! This looks delicious! Love the protein and I love that it’s gluten free for those that need to adhere to the diet. I know how hard it can be to find scrumptious treats that are gluten free!
I would love to try the pumpkin! Love these new options for Gluten Free eating.
These Look Amazing I Bet They Are Delicious!
OMG, this is a dream come true. Seriously. WOW.
They look so good. Love that they are so wholesome.
I’ve never heard of this brand before but it looks delicious!! I’d love to try the Banana Chocolate Chip!
That apple ginger sounds good to me. I think this is a great sounding product for school lunches too.
Ooo, they look so inviting and delicious. Maybe it’s the chocolate lover in me that talks but those seem like a little heaven to me š
The pumpkin sounds great. My SIL can’t have gluten so I should have these on hand when she stops over!
It is so great that there are so many delicious products that are Gluten Free these days. I remember few years ago it all tasted awful.
I like all the flavors! I’m definitely getting some and excited to try! It will make my husband think I’m such a great baker! Lol!
These sounds really yummy. I haven’t heard of them before.
I don’t really watch if the food I eat is healthy or not, as long as it is delicious and eatable. This one looks chewy and healthy too, i might want to try this one if i get the chance to visit the store
I’ve never heard of Whole Some Cravings until now– but I have been on the lookout for healthier food, but still delicious to taste and eat! Thanks for sharing your honest review!
These look so delicious! I’ve been trying to eat healthier so I’ll have to try these!
These products sound awesome! I’ve been concentrating on getting more protein too, these mixes look like a delicious solution!
