April 11, 2008, Newsletter Issue #200: Chocolate Chip Raisin Squares
Tip of the Week
1 1/2 cups unbleached or whole-wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg, beaten (or equivalent of egg replacer)
1 cup vanilla non-fat yogurt
1/4 cup low-fat milk
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or mini-chips
2/3 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts, optional
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the first four ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir together. Combine the next four ingredients in another bowl and stir until smoothly blended.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir together until thoroughly combined. Stir in the chocolate chips, raisins, and optional walnuts, and pour into a 9-by 9-inch baking pan.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden on top and a knife inserted into the center comes out only with melted chocolate, but not the batter. Allow to cool, then cut into 9 or 12 squares.
