I was talking with Sandy and she was looking for a healthy recipe for something yummy. I created this recipe a while back for Scott's uncle, who is diabetic. The nice thing about these cookies is, they get better with age! The flavor of the cinnamon permeates the oats and flour and they actually taste better a day or two after you make them! And they stay soft, too, because they don't go flat like most cookies. They are yummy little mounds of goodness. And you don't notice the fact that there is only a total of 1/2 cup of sugar in them (the brown sugar and evaporated cane juice). Try 'em, you will like them!
Diabetic Oatmeal Cookies1 1/2 C. whole wheat flour
1 1/4 t. baking soda
1 t. Stevia sweetener
1/2 t. salt
1 t. cinnamon
Mix together and set aside.
2 sticks butter
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. organic evaporated cane juice
1/4 c. applesauce, unsweetened
3 C. oatmeal
1 C. raisins
Cream together butter and brown sugar, add eggs and vanilla, cane juice and applesauce. Add flour mixture in thirds, stirring to combine. Then stir in oatmeal and raisins.
Use large scoop (#40) to make uniform 3-inch cookies. Turn onto baking sheet (preferably baking stone) and bake for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees.

Picked up the Stevia and evaporated cane juice today - I'll let you know how they turn out!
hehehe....look at my quote of the week on my blog....I like it so much I am going to leave it for another week....hehehe
Sandy, let me know how they turned out.
Rosemary, I had to go back and look. That's a good one!
Snuffy, I believe you could use something else, I will have to check what is available. The only thing would be adjusting the wet/dry ingredients accordingly if what you used had more volume. If not, you could easily use Splenda or something like that, though I try to not use the artificial sweeteners. Let me know what you can use and we can adjust it! You would like them.
