Coco-Choco-Nut Bars ;Meatless Monday

Bars alongside nuts

Bars without nuts

Often nosotros encounter recipes on the dorsum of nutrient packages similar that on the dorsum of carbohydrate package, flour parcel , within of the butter carton too completely disregard it! Well, I every bit good am guilty of that!! I ordinarily similar to endeavour out recipes that receive got been made too tested past times people too and hence the recipes receive got been shared. But this fourth dimension I decided to last adventurous too practise something that I receive got never done before( well, except for the chocolate chip cookies)! I tried a recipe that was on the dorsum of a package! Of course, me beingness me, I had to alter the recipe too conform it to my needs. I used whole wheat flour instead of all role flour( maida). I reduced the amount of carbohydrate than what was listed every bit I idea that the suggested amount was an awful lot too also because I don't similar my desserts every bit good sweet. I added nuts to one-half of the pan too kept the other one-half nut-free every bit my boy has nut allergies. I sprinkled the nuts on overstep instead of mixing it in. This means I could clearly demarcate the subdivision alongside nuts too the subdivision without nuts. I  receive got to nation that I am glad I tried it! I liked both the subdivision alongside the nuts too the i without. It has a squeamish slightly crunchy outside too a soft cakey interior. This recipe is definitely a keeper! And to intend that I receive got been getting dark-brown carbohydrate for God knows how many years now!! Here is the tardily too delicious recipe.

Cooking made easy:

Make certain that the baking pan is thoroughly greased otherwise the bars volition stick to the bottom of the pan too non come upwardly out clean.

All role flour or maida tin last used for this cake. That even hence would last a less salubrious option.

Tip for salubrious living:

Use whole grain flours similar whole wheat, oat or multigrain flours whenever possible. These are much to a greater extent than nutrient-dense alongside much needed dietary fiber too vitamins too minerals.
