When I was still overseas and trying to eat healthy I used to search Pinterest incessantly  for wholesome and healthy recipes that would appeal to my palette as well as get my kids’ seal of approval. Amongst the most popular was one such recipe by Gimme Some Oven. It is a great base recipe and I make it often with some changes to suit my family. There are many add ins (cranberries, white chocolate chips, shredded coconut) but if you know me, you know I love chocolate! 

I am just happy to be able to whip up an afternoon snack in a snap. Or even breakfast. Uhhh, actually I myself often treat it as dessert! hehe

Guilt free

and oh so good! I know, seldom do the two words meet to describe food.
