The Healthy Low Calorie Chocolate Bran Cookies are chewy, flavorful, nutritious, easy to make and completely guilt-free!
And here’s the best part: you can eat them for breakfast, dessert or as a snack! Plus – you can eat more than one, or two, or three – without feeling about about it!
…After having baked the Healthy Low-Calorie Apple Cookies and seeing them disappear in a matter of one day I decided that this was a good sign! The sign that more cookies needed to be baked!
But then – healthy cookies are always a good idea, don’t they? 🙂
Especially now, after having just survived the Halloween Candy overload!
Because here’s a weird thing: now that all the candy is finally gone, everyone in the family STILL craves “something sweet”! But yet, only I have this nagging feeling that “something sweet” should also be on the healthier side! 🙂
This is why this batch of healthy cookies was the best and the easiest answer to this “want something sweet” but need something healthy dilemma! 🙂
HEALTHY LOW-CALORIE CHOCOLATE BRAN COOKIES
Filled with the seasonal goodness, these cookies only took me 10 minutes to mix up!
Et Viola!
In the crazy midst of my usual morning rush when I only have a few minutes for MY breakfast – having a healthy indulgent cookie was such a great and yummy solution!
They’re also so easy to pack in my kids’ lunches! My boys always want a treat with their lunches and seeing them taking my cookies made me feel… well, like a good mama! 🙂
Finally, low in calories and sugar but high in fiber and vitamin content, these cookies can indeed be counted as healthy food! That’s why I just KNOW I’ll be making them again!
So what do you say? Let’s get to baking? 🙂
