Looking for a healthy treat as a substitute for the classic mince pie or Chocolate Log this Christmas?
Well these delicious Christmas treats might just be the answer your looking for! Instead of flour, sugar and butter I have used healthy alternatives such as black beans, agave nectar and coconut oil!
They are really delicious and won’t have too much of an impact on your waistline! Substituting these for all those unhealthy treats will certainly help you beat the bulge this Christmas!
I made these yesterday for our Smash the Fat Christmas Party and I certainly got some great feedback from all the campers!
Bon Appetit!
