Dessert and the Daniel Fast don’t exactly go hand in hand. The entire idea behind this biblically-based fast is that you would set aside indulgences and focus on plant-based meals for 21 days as an act of worship and sacrifice. It’s essentially a vegan diet that prohibits added sugars, refined carbs, caffeine, and alcohol (here you’ll find a complete list of Daniel Fast-approved foods). All that being said, keeping cravings at bay can be difficult when you completely cut yourself off from any sort of sweet treat. These eight Daniel Fast desserts (we’re using a loose definition of “dessert”) feature healthy ingredients like fresh fruit and nuts to keep your sweet tooth satisfied.

While you may not be able to indulge in chocolate-chip cookies on the Daniel Fast, these healthy cookies will curb your cravings in the meantime. Ripe bananas, oats, and dates make up the bulk of these chewy cookies. Reviewer SHASTASHEEN says, “This is a great recipe, the cookies were moist, chewy, and very sweet despite being sugar-free.”

This recipe contains brown rice syrup, which some argue isn't Daniel Fast-approved because it constitutes as a sweetener. But if you're okay with brown rice syrup on the Daniel Fast, these peanut butter balls are the perfect way to curb your cravings. Reviewer Lisa Harwood-Stamper Burns made the recipe without brown rice syrup: "…I made this recipe without the brown rice syrup, but with vanilla extract and a little almond extract."
