I made these according to the directions and they turned out AMAZING!!!!! The only thing I would do differently is double the recipe.
I used 1/2 cup Stevia and 1 small ripe banana and a touch more butter. Super fluffy and light with a hint of banana bread flavor! I also used cacao chips instead of traditional chocolate chips to reduce sugar even more. Very good. Made 2 dozen small cookies.
My dad loved these... I made them for him at Christmas time.
I have made these in the past lost the recipe and was soooo happy to find it again! These really are the best. My husband asked me if I remembered those cookies you used to make and the last time I made them was probably close to 10 years ago...so if HE is still thinking about them they re definitely a keeper!
I will use Sweetleaf Stevia...which really is "raw" real pure etc....unlike "Stevia in the Raw". The latter has a little stevia...PLUS a lot of what they term "bulking agents." These are comprised of maltodextrin and dextrose. These are used to CUT the pure stevia for the purposes of saving the manufacturer money. However these 2 ingredients ALSO add sugars AND raise insulin levels. Pure Sweetleaf Stevia alone does not raise insulin. I find so many businesses today dishonest. They mislead the consumer without batting an eye. And speaking of eyes the consumers are so overehelmed by wide-spread lying in marketing and manufacturing they have simply resorted to turning a blind eye. I will try this recipe with Sweetleaf Stevia and a very small amount of real maple syrup or agave...which are more easily tolerated by the body. Agave raises insluin minimally and slowly...unlike sugar maltodextrin and dextrose. I will also substitute unsweetened carob chips for chocolate chips. Carob is naturally sweet. I will post my results tomorrow.
They were delicious! I didn't use nuts and used less salt and Stevia. I reduced to 2/3 cup of Stevia in the raw and 1/4 tsp of salt. They were mildly sweet. Just what I wanted! Making more now!
I made no substitutions and mine turned out heavy and lacking in flavor. Ended up tossing the remainder.
These were really good! I used 1/2 c baking stevia and 1/4 c of brown sugar
not hard at all. easy peasy.....now to make sure the guys don't eat them all before I get more. LOL
