These addictive oatmeal raisin lace cookies are delicate, vegan, and only 100 calories! bonus: learn how to use flax meal as an egg substitute.

The secret to success* with these lies in using the cocoa with the highest percentage of cacao you can find. Essentially, the darkest chocolate powder. This makes the brownies almost black in appearance and extremely rich in taste.

* note: I define success by how much batter gets eaten before anything actually gets baked. In this case, it was a lot.

(by the way, these are under 150 calories!)

A homemade crust, spinach, and gruyere make this light and easy dish perfect for any meal. And also, in the spirit of nutrition, it's only 220 calories a serving!
