20 Insanely Satisfying (Yet Sneakily Healthy) Chocolate Recipes

Chocolate cravings are real life, just like pizza, fries, and frickles (um, maybe that last one is just me). If you're the type who can have one nibble of the sweet stuff, then finger snaps for you, but most of us want an ooey-gooey brownie — or four. Luckily, healthy chocolate or vegan, Paleo, or gluten-free chocolate treats have gotten a lot better. Like, actually edible better. Chocolate banana oat pancakes, dark chocolate salted caramels, vegan chocolate frosted doughnuts, and many other guilt-free indulgences make an appearance in this recipe roundup, and I guarantee you'll want to make every single one.
