From Fiona Haynes, your Guide to Low Fat Cooking
Life would be rather dull without sweet treats. The key is to eat them occasionally and to make smart substitutions.

Healthier Banana Bread
This banana bread replaces the saturated fat of butter or shortening with the unsaturated fat of canola oil, some of the flour with whole wheat flour, and cuts the sugar content in half. The end result is still a wonderfully tempting banana bread treat.

Lighter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies will never be declared a health food, but you can make them less unhealthy by tweaking the ingredients a little. Here's a recipe for a lighter chocolate chip cookie that still manages to satisfy a sweet tooth, but perhaps with a little less guilt.

Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
This low-fat banana cake is an indulgent treat, but with very little saturated fat, you shouldn't feel too guilty. But if you prefer to omit the frosting, that's just fine. Just a note about the bananas: the riper the better!

Lemon Bars
Sweet yet tangy, these luscious little lemon bar treats almost make me forget about chocolate.
