| My Spicy Applesauce-Molasses Bar is great when you want something yummy in a hurry that is not overly rich. |
Trying to watch your weight and still enjoy sweets is possible with this easy treat that I want to share with you. This recipe will make only enough of these delicious bars to enjoy without overproducing to later tempt you, but they do keep well if you have any left the next day.
My Spicy Applesauce-Molasses Bars are in between a dense snack cake and a bar cookie with just enough molasses and zingy spices to make the taste memorable, especially once topped sparingly with a butter cream frosting.
My recipe only uses one-fourth cup of oil. Instead, the applesauce serves to replace some of that oil’s missing moistening power that normally would have been necessary for baking. If you don’t have any applesauce on hand, you can peel and cook a few apples (two medium ones) and make your own.
I hope that the next time you get the urge for something sweet and feel like baking that you will print out my recipe. I do think that you will like it.
