INGREDIENT NOTES:
WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR:
- We’ll add whole wheat flour in this recipe because it keeps you satisfied. Your diet will get more fiber from using this flour. Another idea for your use is all-purpose flour for a softer texture.
LIGHT BROWN SUGAR:
- The cookie bars will get moist if you add light brown sugar. The taste of your dessert will become like caramel from its use. Use coconut sugar for another option.
GRANULATED SWEETENER:
- Your caloric count will not rise too much from using granulated sweetener. This will also keep your cookie bars sweeter. An alternative idea for you is normal sugar, which can raise WW points.
UNSWEETENED APPLESAUCE:
- These ingredients will keep your dessert much lighter and also moister. A common alternative for this is a mashed banana. Using a banana will change the taste of your bars.
LIGHT BUTTER:
- We’ll add light butter to keep this recipe lighter. This butter will make your cookie bars flavorful. Use normal butter for substitution, which will change your WW points.
EGG:
- Your cookie bars will get a shape from using egg. Also, egg will combine all the other items in your cookie bar batter. Flax egg is another idea for you to use in your recipe.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
- The taste of chocolate in your dessert will improve if you add vanilla extract. Your recipe will also become sweeter from its addition. Use almond extract for a different taste.
BAKING SODA:
- Softness will come in your bars if you use baking soda. You need to add this for the best texture and look.
SALT:
