chocolate mousse pie, it doesnt mention crust in it so i assume she forgot since it has one in the picture. So i calculated the ingredients and added in a "keebler" chocolate pie crust, and for one serving (1/8 the pie) its 226 calories

1/2C Spelt OR Oat flour
1/3C unsweetened cocoa
1/4 tsp baking powder & salt
1/2 can PURE pumpkin - please DO NOT get pie filler
3/4C brown sugar splenda ( I prefer stevia, but you lose the mass with the little amount of stevia needed ( 1 packet)
1/4C Vegan butter (EARTH BALANCE) melted ( also gluten free
2 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 C chopped walnuts
1/3 C Carob chips

1- Pre heat oven to 350', and lightly spray an 8x8 pan
2- In large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together, leaving nuts and carob chips out for now.
3- In medium bowl , whisk together all the wet ingredients. Add dry to wet, mixing WELL!!
4- Fold in nuts and carob *Batter will be thick!!!*
5-Spread batter evenly into pan and bake 25 minutes, or until the to is dry to touch.
Chill overnight for the BEST taste!!!!

**GLUTEN FREE OPTION**
Omit the 1/2C flour and use the SAME amount of 1/2C of a pre mixed gluten free flour:

2C sorghum flour + 2C potato startch + 1/2C coconut flour + 1/2C brown rice flour + 1Tbsp xanthan gum

This makes 16 brownies and each brownie is UNDER 110 calories, 5g fat, 12g carb

for the banana oatmeal raisin cookies... take them out of oven after 5 minutes to save the flavors... 20 minutes will be to long im sure. I took mine out after 10 min. These would make great breakfast bars... make 12 servings instead of 24 and form into a log shape! and my kid loves them.. they are a little different than normal cookies, but considering there isnt any butter/oil or flour and lower sugar they taste pretty good.
