Keep Calories at Bay with the Healthy Brownies and Cookies
You’ve had a really long day at work and you want nothing more than to just relax in front of the television with a mug of hot cocoa and a sweet chocolaty snack which will turn every bad event of the day into a charming memory. Cookies, chocolates and oats all have a way of doing that to you own their own. But imagine how much better it’d be if they were all combined to form one super snack! These delicacies are perfect for a summer afternoon, served with cold milk to bring out the flavors and give you that nice warm feeling that everything is going to be alright.
Chocolate chip oatmeal cookies are quite easy to make. Most recipes require rolled oats, walnuts, chocolate chips, margarine, sugar, vanilla extract, all purpose flour, eggs and milk. Potentially fattening ingredients, but you can substitute them with gluten free and fat free products for a healthier option. Chocolate chip oatmeal cookies have a shelf life of about seven days, so you can eat them at your own pace, or alternatively, make enough dough to be used for several rounds of baking. Just refrigerate the remaining dough until you’re ready to use it.
Another recipe you are sure to enjoy is the healthy brownie recipe. This recipe actually only gives you 100 calories per brownie square. It involves using whole wheat flour, unsweetened applesauce, honey instead of sugar, one egg, baking powder and cocoa. You’ll find that this is no less sweet than fatty brownies. With healthy brownies, you can enjoy your favorite snack without an ounce of guilt. You can even serve the brownies topped with strawberries and frozen fat-free yoghurt for the extra oomph. So the next time your boyfriend or BFF gets mad at you, make them healthy brownies and they’ll love you for being thoughtful enough to keep the calories at bay.
