A few years ago I underwent allergy testing due to some severe headaches. The result–a HUGE list of food allergies. For a period of time I was very limited in my food possibilities and was often left craving something sweet and bulky…until I found this recipe. I loved it because it fed that sugar craving but without the sugar…or the butter…or the gluten…or the…well you get the idea.
Recently, I was trying to find something to calm my sugar craving again without resorting to the sugar bowl and remembered this recipe. I have to say though that this recipe is totally addicting because when Peanut and I made it, our whole family ate the entire batch in one day! I know, but hey, we had a great fiber count that day! LOL. All that to say, have fun baking.
