Low calorie cookie/brownie/bar recipes?

abbynormalartist · June 2017

I feel the urge to bake but don't want to use up half my day's calories on a treat. What recipes have you guys found that are somewhat low calorie? I'm super intrigued by the idea of black bean brownies but haven't given it a go yet.

http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/ --- she has brownies that she makes with cashew butter and sweet potato (I subbed pumpkin) that are just DIVINE. I topped mine with avocado frosting (which could also double as a pudding IMHO)

good dee's brownie mix is the lowest calorie I've found. I tried it, it wasn't bad. I'd recommend the "cake version" recipe over the "fudge version" on the back.

I've made meringue cookies and chocolate truffles. And I seem to make them a drop smaller (or at least end up with a greater yield, despite weighing out the ingredients) so the calories per portion drops.

The skinny taste black bean brownies are great. Even my kids and husband love them!!!!!

Running on Real Food has TONS of delicous whole food (and, incidentally vegan) desserts. My current favorites are her pumpkin pie tarts (I make them into bars), chocolate peanut butter cups (these are large--next time I'm going to use mini muffin cups), and apple cinnamon raisin muffins (if you substitute the cup of raisin for another cup of apple, it's only 135calories/muffin).
