Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.

1/2 cup almonds, finely chopped
1/4 cup flaxseed, ground
1/4 cup oat bran

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon stevia powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

Add dried or fresh fruits as desired such as raisins, dried strawberries, dried cherries, dried blueberries, fresh peaches, bananas, whatever you like!

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

Very good and nutty but I didn't like the stevia in it. Maybe it was the brand I bought but it had a bitter taste to it.

I have been looking for a sugar-free granola and after a failed search decided to make my own. I added shredded coconut and a little coconut oil to lessen the dryness, I was also out of apple sauce so I added enough vanilla unsweetened almond milk to moisten and extra cinnamon and it turn out surprisingly well! I will definitely make again, this recipe serves as a a good framework from which to experiment!

Very addicting. Makes you feel good. Healthy. Delicious. My husband and I can't live without it now. I also add some grapeseed oil and unsweetened coconut flakes. We use unsweetened vanilla almond milk for the cereal. YUM! I appreciate healthy but good tasting recipes using stevia. Thank You!

Good recipe, stevia is clever and nicely mellowed by the process (I used NuStevia brand, 3 packets). I found the mixture to be a bit too dry for my tastes, during cooking, so I added a quarter cup olive oil to amend, and it worked out well.
