Better Brownies
No butter, eggs, white flour or white sugar - but plenty of taste! Do you love brownies but just wish they could be a little healthier for you? Fiber rich oats are more filling; heart-healthy canola oil instead of butter. Plus, the total amount of fat is reduced and applesauce added to keep the brownies moist and sweet. Pecans add healthy monounsaturated fat, vitamin E, and minerals. I believe this recipe was clipped from a Reader's Digest magazine.
