When I saw this recipe for Snickerdoodle Brownies on Pinterest, I knew they were the perfect Valentine's Day treat for Clayton! His favorite cookies are snickerdoodles, so I thought this recipe might be his new favorite dessert. Just looking over the original recipe at frugalanticsrecipes.com, I saw some great opportunities for a couple healthy substitutions. So this is my adapted version. Even with the substitutions, they came out really well. Clayton was so pleased with them, that he says it might just redeem cake in his eyes (he's not a cake guy).
