Chocolate-Applesauce-Flax Seed Bars
Recipe: #11677
January 01, 2014
"This is a variation of a recipe from "Desserts for Diabetics" by Mabel Cavaiani. This is very easy to make, and they stay moist for a couple days (they never last longer around here!) DO NOT try using cold applesauce--doesn't work! Do not use all Splenda or they will be dry. You can make these non-diabetic friendly by using all sugar. NOTE: The flax seed is whole seed, not ground."
