Wednesday Musing: A Turn for the Healthy!

As in most aspects of my life I'm in the weeds in getting this posted. This week's recipe went over very well. The key is to almost underbaking it. I pulled it out when the edges were just beginning to get brown which resulted in a very moist and chewy finished product. If I were going to remake it I would cut the chocolate to 9oz and perhaps add a caramel swirl. Overall, it was just the thing to get me through an abbreviated week.

A close friend of mine made a healthy version of this recipe with the following ingredients:
  • a little less than 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 tsp soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 cup oatmeal (and by this I mean oats, plain old regular oats)
  • 3/4 cup applesauce
  • 1/2 cup splenda
  • 1/2 cup brown splenda (which I didn't even know they made)
  • 1 serving egg beaters
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 6 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
She also made the regular version and I will post her thoughts thereon soon.
