Whole Wheat

Lately I have been watching what I eat and trying to be a little more healthy. I have also been trying to figure out ways to give the girls healthy snacks. I made zucchini muffins a few times which the girls love but I was concerned about all the sugar and oil in the muffins. It made me think about ways to make the muffins healthy. This has become my new obsession...making healthy treats. I have started using whole wheat flour to bake with and applesauce in stead of oil. Yesterday I made cookies with whole wheat flour, oats, no sugar and no oil. The applesauce replaced the oil and honey replaced the sugar. Now they are no chocolate chip cookie but they are still tastey and the kids still think of them as a treat so the recipe is a keeper. So if you know of any whole grain type dessert recipes that you like then feel free to pass them along.
