i know i’m kind of late on the draw here, having only stumbled onto this recipe a few weeks ago, but i have to be honest: the bars i made from this recipe were dry and chalky! i was so disappointed! i read through your recipe again, and saw where you cut out some of the oil, but you didn’t replace it with anything. so i replaced the brown sugar with honey, and i added 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce. they came out super-moist and delicious! i just wanted to tell you that when baking, you can replace a portion (if not all) of the oil with applesauce, and still have moist, low-fat baked goods.

They came out GREAT !! Using the Whey Protein (22g) for 1/4 cup making the total bar 33g of protein ! Again i used the Whey Protein instead of Wheat Bran

Hi Tina! I’m so glad I came across your blog as I am a former Bostonian! I live in Europe now and am often homesick, so reading your blog is very heartwarming! :):) I love the idea of making a recipe’s ‘skinny’ version, as I am a cookie monster myself, it makes devouring a half batch that much more acceptable Looking forward to new recipes and trying out your old ones! Have a great summer! -Lena
