I've gotten interested in finding recipes for treats that have a better nutritional profile than the typical cookie or baked goods. Not totally super health food mind you. But healthier, meaning not just empty calories. Less sugar (more of a slightly sweet taste), a little less saturated fat, a good amount of whole grains, some extra fruit or the unexpected vegetable, even a bit of protein.
So I've been looking around on the web to see what I could find, and now I'm trying to keep track of the most promising recipes. Or just ones that hit my sweet spot health foods and treats. Some I've tried, some not yet.
Sweet potato biscotti - I did actually try an adapted version of this one, using pecans and vanilla rather than the orange flavor profile of the original recipe. Quite delicious actually.
Fruit swirl cookies - A traditional buttery cookie but with no added sugar at all. Sweetened only by dried fruit.
Rhubarb Almond breakfast bars - Crust has lots of oats and is sweetened only with sweetened coconut. The rhubarb filling is made from a rhubarb butter that doesn't seem too sweet. Wonder if you could use this general recipe with other fruit butter type fillings.
Peanut butter banana oatmeal cookies - Almost no refined sugar but PB and Banana. sounds worth trying.
Breakfast cookie recipe from KAF - Reviews are great on these but has some special ingredients.
Healthy oatmeal chocolate chip miracle cookie - If the texture is really what she claims, then it is a miracle. Supposed to be chewy but without any gluten or eggs.
