No eggs and no milk in this recipe. Feel free to replace Splenda with another sweetener. One tablespoon of sugar, honey or molasses is required and cannot be replaced.

I adapted this recipe from several others and the results are quite nice. I will experiment by reducing the butter to 2 Tablespoons or using canola oil and then topping up with apple sauce but I haven't tried this yet. At least a tablespoon of honey or sugar is required to raise the yeast in the dough, do not eliminate this ingredient.

I combined two recipes, one for black bean brownies (that sometimes gets complaints for being too gooey) and one for whole wheat brownies (that can be to dry), and replaced the sugar with Splenda. You could add walnuts to the batter just before baking. Try icing them with cream cheese, Splenda and cocoa. Suitable for diabetics and those on Phase 2 of South Beach. Each serving has just 15 grams of carbs, a safe diabetic snack.

This is low in fat, lower in added sugar and higher in fiber than traditional fruitcake, but it is still just an occasional treat for the holidays. You can make muffins or cookies with this dough, too.

Once a month the ladies I run with get together to do some bigger-batch, healthy cooking of food that we can share. This recipe has less fat and less sugar than most we found. Freeze some, unbaked, in foil pans for quick meals later.

Once a month I get together with the friends I run with to do some healthy, bigger-batch cooking. The second version of this recipe yields three regular-sized loaves or 10 mini loaves. We made a mixture of both. Bake minis for 45 minutes and regulars for one hour. Place minis onto a cookie sheet for easy handling in and out of the oven. These loaves are light, fluffy and very moist, a nice surprise for a whole wheat recipe. FYI, The big-batch version was too much batter for my counter-top mixer; we mixed it by hand. RB1 added dark chocolate chips to some of the mini loaves by hand after we filled the pans.

Here is a cakey cookie. I adapted this recipe for Hubby who is a Type 1 Diabetic. Experiment with adding different combinations of dried fruit, nuts and/or chocolate chips. Combinations of apple sauce and butter/margarine/oil can be varied, too, depending on your dietary preferences regarding fat. One cookie, recipe as-written, is a snack, under 13 carbs.

This is a five-star-rated pumpkin loaf recipe that I modified to be only "half a cheat" by cutting the fat and sugar in half and using half whole wheat flour. It is still very sweet; the sugar could be reduced even more. My family cannot tell that this is a healthier version of the recipe. Makes 2 large loafs.
