Life is better on a diet when baking with applesauce instead of sticks of butter, whole wheat flour instead of white flour, and Pam instead of other pan greases.
When winter settles in, I start baking. It’s a hobby I began a few years ago when I bought my own set of baking pans, cookie sheets, measuring cups, and an electric beater.
In advance of holiday parties and gatherings with friends and family, I felt like baking healthy cookies.
I made oatmeal raisin peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and oatmeal raisin banana chocolate chip cookies. Excepting unsalted chunky peanut butter in one batch and pureed bananas in the other, the recipes were identical: applesauce, brown sugar, whole wheat flour, baking soda, vanilla extract, a kick of Kahlua, oatmeal, raisins, and 60% bittersweet chocolate chips.
Other blog sites, such as the MidLife Traveler and Paper Palate agree healthy baking is not an oxymoron and is a necessity.
