Lean desserts can also be quite appetizing and delicious. There are many plant-based ingredients that can be used to make, for example, sweet cookies for tea. You won't even notice that there is no milk, butter, or sour cream in the ingredients.
The idea of making homemade lean chocolate orange cookies was published on the Instagram page of the famous Ukrainian chef Liza Hlinska (lizaglinskaya). Nuts are great for the filling.
