For as long as I can remember I’ve had a craving to bake healthy delicious treats. I remember my sister asking me when we were younger “if I could just bake something normal.” Well, I guess I could, but that wouldn’t be any fun!
Last night I did a little baking before I went to bed. As you know I was planning on writing about sneaking in exercise, but it seems my camera died during the night. The battery is charged, but it won’t turn on. Luckily, I uploaded these photos last night.

Each bite has approximately 46 calories making this the perfect treat.
those look so yummy! WOW only 46 Calories…that is amazing
Thanks, Mari! They are just bites, but I’m impressed with their calorie content.
Those look great…I just made a pumpkin raw treat concoction this morning that will hit the blog later this week.
46 cals. Awesome! How do they even measure that kind of thing? I have people ask me ?’s like that and I realize there are computer programs that help calculate it all but too much work for me…ha!
Yum! I made pumpkin cookies last night actually, as I love to cook healthy “indulgences” like you 🙂
Those look Yummy!
I hope you get that camera working! I can appreciate your frustration…technology glitches can be painful.
Thanks for the recipe. Pumpkin rocks!
Have you tried these with stevia yet? Just curious is all. I have some of the NuNatural Baking Blend.
I haven’t, but let me know if you do!
