Here’s the best excuse for eating cookies and brownies: They’re 100% whole grain.

With their Whole Grain Collection, Dancing Deer is the first national brand to offer a line of 100% whole grain (and all-natural) baked treats.

The options include three cookies and three bars: Chocolate Chip Cookies, Cranberry Orange Cookies, Totally Nuts Cookies, Chocolate Chunk Brownies, Fruit + Nut Squares and Peanut Butter and Jelly Squares.

You can’t taste the difference: Whole grain flour actually adds richness and flavor.

Look for Dancing Deer in fine food stores nationwide, or online at DancingDeer.com.

If you want to bake your own, Kodiak Cakes has delicious, whole grain chocolate chip cookie and brownie mixes.
