I'm making the Dark Chocolate Angel Food Cake with Rich Chocolate Glaze today for my mom's birthday cake :) I'm a little confused about the recipe though - it says there's 16 servings, but each serving is 1/8 of the cake... anyone know which is correct? - 1/29/2012   12:14:08 PM

If you're watching your saturated fats, try these cookies, made with oil instead of butter. Good with a glass of milk as an after-school snack, or as part of a packed lunch or picnic.

Yield: Makes 30 cookies



INGREDIENTS

•1¾ cups rolled (old-fashioned) oats
•2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
•½ cup sunflower oil, plus more for the baking sheets
•1 large egg, beaten
•½ tsp pure vanilla extract


Directions


1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly oil two baking sheets.

2. Stir the oats, brown sugar, and oil in a bowl until well combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix again.

3. Drop heaping teaspoons of the batter on the baking sheets, spacing them 1in (2.5cm) apart. Flatten them slightly with the back of a fork. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden.

4. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 1–2 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let cool completely.

Variation: Peanut Butter Cookies

Substitute 1 tbsp of rolled oats with 1 tbsp crunchy peanut butter. Finish and bake as above.



Notes


Prepare ahead: The cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Dessert to me is either a fruit smoothie for something creamy or a gluten-free cookie for something chewy. Maybe some homemade candy for when I'm feeling festive. I love dessert! - 1/22/2012   10:17:08 PM

YUM! - 1/22/2012   8:14:53 PM

I think ill try the fruit salad with the poppy seed dressing - 1/22/2012   8:07:56 PM

Fruit & chocolate. Yum.
I'm thinking chocolate covered strawberries!!!! - 1/22/2012   3:31:13 PM

I love chocolate.

I love me some fruit and chocolate together. Fruit is my favorite. I love the sweet, cool taste of fruit. Add some warm, melted chocolate (dark) and life is good. :) - 1/22/2012   11:06:54 AM

Chocolate Meringues, I make the cookies for my husband we loves them . - 1/22/2012   12:28:30 AM

Chocolate - 1/21/2012   9:04:13 PM

Custard has always been one of my favorites. - 1/21/2012   8:59:29 PM

I generally love anything Chocolate - the darker the better. Unfortunately I cannot start eating it or bring it home because it's too much of a trigger food for me. I've switched to fresh fruit and nuts for dessert with an occasional chocolate milk or sugar free Hot Chocolate. - 1/21/2012   4:41:36 PM

Chocolate most days for me. - 1/21/2012   3:07:11 PM

Some great ideas - 1/21/2012   2:48:55 PM

Oh, it's definitely chocolate for me. Especcially rich, creamy chocolate mousse. I need to look for a healthier version of that. - 1/21/2012   1:01:59 PM

And CALICO, you're better off leaving that question on a question message board on the main site. You probably won't get an answer here. I've never tried to add information to the tracker. I just use whatever is close. I know there are options for large, medium, and small bananas and that you can select 1/2 servings, so I just go by that. - 1/21/2012   10:31:50 AM

I prefer fruit in the summer and dark chocolate in the winter. But anytime you can add penut butter to the mix, I'm in heaven! Like a peanut butter banana smoothie or Reese cups. Mmmmmmm. - 1/21/2012   10:27:55 AM

Does anyone know how to add calories to the Diet Tracker without adding the food name (just the calorie information). For example, bananas are not always the same size/wt and I only eat half most of the time. How can I add something like that? - 1/21/2012   9:56:39 AM

I love chocolate! Always looking for new recipes!
- 1/21/2012   9:30:50 AM

I love fresh fruit for desert. The other night I have fresh berries and added just a little vanilla ice cream, let it melt, and it was wonderful. Sometimes a little milk works too. A piece of dark chocolate also fits the bill! - 1/21/2012   8:53:58 AM

I'm a chocolate lover. I've found that a good piece of dark chocolate is all I need and keep it well under 200 Cal. The extra sugar in Milk chocolate tends to make me crave more. Its all about quality - 1/21/2012   7:50:32 AM

I agree with LOVEISTODAY, that any dessert can be 200 calories if that is all of it that you eat. Sometimes a few bites is all it takes of a super rich dessert to be enough. - 1/21/2012   6:21:08 AM

does anybody remember the recipe for Bird's milk ? - 1/21/2012   4:06:13 AM

What about meringues... heat dried or freshly beaten with one spoon of one's favourite fruit jam for instance...not only a platefull (for insatiable ppl) but comming with protein and less than 35 grams hidrocarbonates...(if these are substituted with sweeteners it's just the perfect slimming treat) - 1/21/2012   4:05:12 AM

I wish they posted all the recipes. However, any dessert can be 200 calories or less if you only have a bite or two. I'm very curious how big the pieces are meant to be for this to hold true for the article. - 1/20/2012   11:40:25 PM
