My own low fat chocolate swirled banana bread
About this Cook
I'm a college student who's always looking to turn a good recipe into a healthier choice. I'm looking to be a nutritionist and pastry chef. I love cooking and baking for others however, I believe I am a better baker than cooker.
My favorite things to cook
Cookies,cakes, bread, muffins, anything with chocolate, and cheesecake.
My favorite family cooking traditions
A lot that I haven't exactly mastered yet.
My cooking triumphs
Baking my first reduced fat cheesecake and whole wheat bread rolls successfully.
My cooking tragedies
Making an undercooked cheesecake with a layer of cake as my crust. It was undercooked so badly that it wasn't edible.

Felix K.'s 'Don't even try to say these aren't the best you've ever eaten, because they are' Chocolate Chip Cookies
I was afraid of the high amount of flour and low temperature at first but went ahead and tried this recipe. I halved the recipe and used all whole wheat flour and milk chocolate chips. I only had to cook them for about 10-12 minutes in my oven. Crispy edges and chewy moist center. Be careful not to over bake and spray your pans with non-stick cooking spray. I cooled my cookies on a cooling rack but couldn't wait 20 minutes to have them. Delicious bakery sized cookies! Must try!

Irresistible Irish Soda Bread
Good flavor and moist but too cakey for my taste. I was hoping for more of a biscuit texture. Amazingly Easy Irish Soda Bread is better. Sorry.

Frosted Banana Bars
Although the title is a bit misleading because it came out more like a cake than a bar, it was delicious! I decreased the sugar to 1 cup (used brown sugar for a richer flavor), used low fat yogurt (no sour cream) and used half whole wheat flour. I made my own cream cheese frosting using AR's Cream Cheese Frosting II to frost my cake and topped it with chopped macadamia nuts. Do not overbake these! The flavor and texture is better when you leave it in the fridge overnight because it gives it time to develop a more intense banana flavor and hardens a bit so it's more like a bar. Hope this helped.
