Well I tried two new healthy recipes that are more on the treat side of things and I was REALLY happy with how they turned out and so were my kids.
Banana Cinnamon French toast
1 medium banana
1 cup soy milk (the recipe said regular, but I used vanilla)
1/2 cup oats
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp flax
Combine banana, oats, and soy milk in blender and blend until smooth, pour into a bowl and mix with cinnamon and flax. Soak toast just like regular french toast and put on medium high skillet, cook until light brown on both sides, it get kind of sticky so watch it, top with maple syrup or just eat alone...super yummy

Butter Bean chocolate chip cookies
1 cup oats
1cup whole grain flour (I used spelt)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 c butter beans (or any white bean) some liquid reserved
1/2 cup sweetener ( I used 1/4 cup agave syrup, and 1/4 cup regular sugar)
1/4 cup apple sauce unsweetened
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
dash of salt
grease cookie sheet and pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Transfer 3/4 cup oats and pulse in processor or blender until crumbly but not powder
combine with flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Whisk together. Put beans in processor or blender with applesauce, sweetner, vanilla, and 1 T bean liquid until smooth. Mix wet and dry ingredients together add chocolate chips. Add more oats if too wet, and add some water if too dry. Roll into balls and place on cookie sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.
FYI: they don't really flatten down like regular cookies, so they kind of turned into a cookie ball, but we still loved them. They taste so much like a regular cookie I think I had four in a row...the recipe said they only have a little less than 60 calories a cookie...pretty nice. Mom (Lisa C. i'm going to try them with a gluten free flour next I think...just for you :) )
I don't know where I got it from I just googled a recipe
