Spelt Chocolate Chip Cookies

Make your chocolate chip cookies a healthy treat with the following substitutions:

-Substitute whole grain spelt flour in place of traditional flour.
-Substitute raw sugar or Splenda in place of sugar.
-Substitute organic brown sugar.
-Replace butter/margarine with Smart Balance or I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Light.
-Add 1/4c soy protein powder (and remove 1/4c of spelt flour).
-Add organic dark chocolate chips.

*As a side bonus, dunk warm cookies in vanilla soy milk. LOVE it! :)

Then, you can feel good about eating chocolate chip cookies (I know - I ate a dozen of these cookies over the weekend - yum!).

German Pancakes with Sugar-Free Powdered Sugar!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this new recipe and you will too. The boyfriend loves German Pancakes, but obviously I cannot eat the traditional kind. This weekend I experimented and created a recipe using spelt flour and vanilla soy milk that's delicious. Check it out and enjoy!

German Pancakes
6 eggs
1 c white spelt flour
1 c vanilla soy milk
1/8 t salt
1/4 c melted I Can't Believe It's Not Butter

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray 9x13 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray or use butter wrapper.
Blend all ingredients using a hand-mixer or Kitchen-Aid.
Pour into baking pan.
Bake 30 minutes.

Tada! You will love this!

Top with butter, powdered sugar and lemon juice.
Take 1/4 c of Splenda
Grind in coffee grinder or food processor.

Now you have powdered sugar. (That invention is courtesy of the boyfriend - enjoy!)
