Roll out each ball and place a bit of cheese, about a teaspoon of sauce and a slice of pepperoni on each crust. Bring up edges and pinch together to make a ball.

I think I've discovered a solution to my brownie "problem". My past attempts have been alright, but there is room for improvement. I think my new baking buddy is oat flour. It has a higher gluten percentage and higher moisture content than wheat flour, so my theory is that combining a small portion of oat flour with wheat flour will give a less crumbly and more moist result. The use of white

UPDATE 6/14:  I subbed coconut oil for the butter, and made adjustments to amounts. I've been on a quest since changing to a healthier lifestyle for a good chocolate chip cookie.  For those of you who use whole wheat flour, you'll know that it doesn't turn out the same results as all purpose flour does.  Whole wheat flour still contains the bran and germ so it's heavier and

These were surprisingly delicious!!  I've tried healthy versions before and wasn't impressed.  As usual, I blended my sucanat in my MagicBullet.  Otherwise it doesn't "melt" and is grainy.  I didn't have cake flour so I put 1 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch in a 1/2 cup measure then added white flour to fill, then added the remaining 1/4 cup white flour.  This dough is VERY sticky.&
