To my opinion, the best way to cut down on the amount of sugar you need is to replace it with any type of fruit. You can replace part of the sugar in pretty much any cookie recipes with apple sauce or with mashed bananas. Also, another trick I use is I replace some of the sugar with vanilla yogourt. What is great about the yogourt it adds moisture into any cookie recipe. So if you want chewy cookies instead of hard and dry cookies, add some yogourt in your recipe! Now, this following recipe is all about that! A nice not too sweet cookies with a chewy texture… here are the best Banana Spice Cookies with Chocolate Chips ever!

There are many recipes out there that require many steps and honestly, I am not a big fan. I have so many things to do in a day, I really don’t want to break my head over a recipe. Therefore, I am always looking for a way to reinvent a recipe with the simplest steps and very easy to follow. For that reason, I reinvented the banana – oat – chocolate cookies. They are so easy to make, even my kids can make them:)
Mix bananas and oat flakes and you will get very healthy pancakes! The oats bring you a lot of fiber and the bananas are a greats source of vitamins and contain very little fat. I usually serve them with plain yogurt or my homemade ricotta cheese, but this time I served them with my chocolate ganache! Very easy to make and soo good! You cannot go wrong – chocolate and banana is a classic combination.
I personally think tiramisu is the best dessert on Earth! It was the dessert that I was craving non-stop during my pregnancies. I typically make all my desserts at home. Scratch that, I make all my food at home: bread, buns, pasta, yogourt, etc. But at that time I couldn’t find any homemade tiramisu recipe that tasted good and was safe for me to eat while being pregnant. All the tiramisu recipes were with raw eggs and most of them with alcohol. So how to make tiramisu at home in a way that is safe for pregnant women and kids to eat?
I like having oatmeal for breakfast, but my two girls don’t like it. I tried it in many versions: soaked all night, sweet with apple jam, raw with yogurt. No matter what I did, they did not like it! But like any good mother, I know what’s good for my kids. I know they need to eat oatmeal. Oatmeal is good for us for many reasons: it keeps cholesterol low, it’s good against heart disease, it’s a good source of magnesium, zinc, potassium, and so much more! Plus, if you eat oatmeal for breakfast, you will be sure not to get hungry until lunch. So, finally, I chose the recipe that the whole family would enjoy.
