can anyone share a tried and true recipe.
preferably not a no-bake recipe but would definitely be interested in all recommendations.
Maybe something where you soak dried fruit and use that for sweetness.
And preferably not where banana is used to sweeten.
Thank you.

I have a 100% whole wheat, honey, applesauce, some oil muffin recipe that I make into mini muffins. I'm a real chocolate person but I like the one with dried cherries (some sugar) better than the cc ones (more sugar).

Any idea how many calories?

Cookies made with 100% whole food ingredients for a healthy treat anytime.

COURSE: DESSERT
SERVINGS:
CALORIES: 175 KCAL
AUTHOR: DETOXINISTA.COM
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups raw walnut or pecan halves
1 cup medjool dates , pitted (about 12)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flax or chia seeds + 3 tablespoons water)
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with an "S" blade, process the dates and walnuts together until a crumbly texture is formed. Add in the salt, baking soda, vanilla, flax egg, and vinegar, and process again until the batter is relatively smooth. Add in the chocolate chips and briefly pulse, just to combine.
Spoon the batter onto a lined baking sheet, and use your hands to gently flatten the cookie dough. (Tip: Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking!) Bake at 350F for 12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Allow to cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve immediately, and store the leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge or freezer for best shelf life. These cookies should last a week in the fridge, and a month or more in the freezer.

This was in Hamodia last year.

1 c ww flour
1 c oats
1/2 c unsweetened applesauce
1/2 c honey
1 egg
1/3 c oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powde
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 c choc chips (or craisins, etc.)

If using fruit instead of cc, swap almond extract for vanilla.
Preheat to 350.
Mix all ingredients but cc or craisins till well incorporated. Add add ins. Mix well. Spoon into greased or lined muffin tins. Bake for 25 minutes.

I make mini muffins, get about 24, check after 12 minutes, have no idea about calories.
