Barby's Ginger Snap Good for the Tummy treat!

Barby's Ginger Snap Good for the Tummy treat!

Click on the picture to enlarge.

Prep your pan with a spritz of Pam to prevent sticking.  Bake at 350 degrees for 17 minutes.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup Buttermilk Kodiak flapjack mix 2 points

1/4 cup Quaker quick oats 2 points

1 tsp baking powder 0 points

1 T white sugar 3 points 

a dash ground cloves 0 points

1 tsp apple pie spice which has Ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg in it.  0 points

1 tsp imitation vanilla 0 points

1 very ripe banana mashed 0 points

1 egg 0 points

1/2 small fresh peach diced  0 points (optional) If peaches are used they are best eaten cold.

1/8th cup canned pumpkin




This will make eleven brownies and I used the 2-1/2 inch square multi cavity pan.  7 points for the whole bowl of batter, and .63 points or 1 point each!  A good for the tummy treat for sure! I eat these cold, some of my cakes taste best warm, but these have that stronger ginger zip when colder.  They also need powdered sugar on top for sure as the sugar is low in these.  I compensate for that by dusting powdered sugar on top.  If you like a LOT of zippy ginger taste then I would up the ginger in them by a half teaspoon and taste test a batch. I left them milder for tummys.  

Super easy to freeze too!   It's best to freeze them with a paper towel wrapped around them in a freezer bag if not eaten the same day.  

Directions:

Dump all ingredients for the batter in the bowl and mix with fork.  Use a small ice cream clicker type scooper to place evenly a small amount of batter in ELEVEN  2-1/2 inch square pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 17 minutes.  

I hope you can make these for when your tummy is needing a bit of calm.  They are mild yet have a ginger snap aftertaste.  I had several requests for this treat and during flu season they may help.  They would be good for people on chemo as ginger and pumpkin are settling for the tum tum!  I added a few peaches as that aids digestion.
Enjoy my friends!

This will make eleven brownies and I used the 2-1/2 inch square multi cavity pan.  .90 points or 1 point each!  Scrumptious!

Super easy to freeze too!   It's best to freeze them with a paper towel wrapped around them in a freezer bag if not eaten the same day.

I hope you can make these come fall, on a crisp apple type of day, and feel totally guilt free.  It's like eating guilt free pie or cake.  And they ARE delicious tasting for sure!!!

1/4 tsp ground cloves 0 points

1 very ripe banana mashed 0 points

This will make enough for SIX 3 by 2 inch spiffy pumpkin bars

8 points for 6 spiffy pumpkin bars.  That is 1.3 points per spiffy pumpkin bar!  Dust with sifted powdered sugar for sure, or a dot of reddi wip.  I added a few sprinkles of coconut on a few and those would be a tad higher in points.  I love toasted coconut on top of about anything!  You just sprinkle it on top of the batter once in the pans. Every sweet treat I have posted freezes well.  It's best to freeze them with a paper towel wrapped around them in a freezer bag if not eaten the same day.  

Directions:

Dump all ingredients for the batter in the bowl and mix with fork.  Use a small ice cream clicker type scooper to place evenly a small amount of batter in SIX 3 by 2 inch loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.  You could also look at my previous cake recipes and use my buttercream frosting drizzled on top.  Add on points tho! 

I hope you can make these come Thanksgiving and feel totally guilt free.  And they ARE delicious tasting, extra spiffy for sure!!!  

Happy good eating friends!

8 points for 10 pumpkin pineapple raspberry brownies.  That is .8 points per brownie, less that 1 point!  Dust with sifted powdered sugar for sure, or a dot of redid wip.  I added a few sprinkles of coconut on a few and those would be a tad higher in points.  I love toasted coconut on top of about anything!  Every sweet treat I have posted freezes well.  It's best to freeze them with a paper towel wrapped around them in a freezer bag if not eaten the same day.

Chocolate Cherry Pistachio Brownie snacklets by Barby


Brownie Snacklet's for work or school!
Click to enlarge and sorry about the wrap around words below. It does this when I paste it here.

Hello friends! Wow a tower of “brownie snack-lets!” 1 point each and 6 are on the dessert plate. 6 points for the entire plate! I love this size, 2 and one half inch square.They’re bigger than you think!  The recipe is my chocolate pistachio maraschino cherry cake-lets that is also on this blog a few page back.  But used a 12 cavity pan brownie pan and I doubled the recipe of that recipe that is on my blog making 12 of these little darling brownies. I added a wisp of coconut on the top of some and if you add one and one fourth Tablespoon (total) coconut topping to all 12, the points for one would be 1.16 points. A smidge more. I won’t write the recipe out because it’s already on this blog. But remember if you use the 12 cavity brownie pan you will need to double the recipe. I divided the batter evenly into all 12 cavities for that double recipe, baked them for 24-25 minutes at 350 degrees. I made these to freeze for when the grand kiddies come over. 

Because I opened Barby’s test kitchen to make up many different flavors of cake-let’s this week, for you to try, well I have many frozen! And they freeze well. dusted them with sifted powdered sugar for a dainty look. 

Also on my blog if you scroll down, you will see a list of August recipes with the title of the recipe. Just click on what you’re looking for and then you don’t need to scroll from page to page. 

The brownie size snacklet would be great to pack in your lunch for work, or for the kiddos. Only real food is used in my recipes and no diet stuff. I like real food and boy the snacklets are to die for! Super yummy like all the cake-let’s I posted previously. I’ve lost 91 pounds eating good foods. Hope it helps you too, my friends! Thank you for all your help, kind words, humor and encouragement! You are my family, all of you. No tribe. I love ALL of you. Happy eating! ❤️๐Ÿค—๐Ÿฆ‹๐ŸŒท๐Ÿ’•Barby
