Over the weekend, there's nothing better than baking up some tasty treats — especially when they've been given a healthy twist. Whether you love cookies, brownies, or muffins, the latest batch of recipes from the FitSugar Healthy Recipe community group will definitely satisfy a sweet tooth!

No-Bake Trail Mix Cookies
OK, this recipe is a total win, because you don't even have to turn on the oven — perfect for those hot Summer days! Made from only five ingredients, these gluten-free, vegan cookies contain quinoa, making them a protein powerhouse.

Dark Chocolate Brownies
These might not be low-cal, but they are rich in antioxidants and fiber and contain much less sugar and fat than you'd find in a traditional brownie recipe. There's also black beans hidden in them — which you won't even taste! — so let's hear it for the extra protein boost.

Wait — there's more! Check out some delicious-tasting coconut muffins and Paleo banana bread after the break!
