Adopting a healthier lifestyle doesn’t mean you can’t eat dessert! I teach clients to focus on moderation and finding healthier spins on recipes they still truly ENJOY.
These chocolate chip bars are one of my favorite healthier treats. They are lower sugar and free of all major allergens, including wheat, gluten, dairy, eggs, corn, soy, and nuts (provided you use the Sunbutter and not a nut butter).

- 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
- ¼ cup Sunbutter (cashew or almond butter also work)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions
- Preheat oven to 350

- Blend all ingredients (except for chocolate chips) in a food processor until smooth
