Recipe Introduction

note: recommended for living lean rather than for weight reduction phase due to some off plan ingredients, such as the processed oat flour, splenda and brown sugar twin.

List of Ingredients

2 cups Oat flour
1/4 C non sweetened applesauce
1/2 cup granular Splenda
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar Twin
2 teaspoons water
1 teaspoon sugar free vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt


Recipe

Preheat oven to 300�F. Mix applesauce with Splenda and Brown Sugar Twin in a large bowl. Add water and spices and mix well. Gradually add oat flour and mix to a stiff dough. Form into small balls and place on greased cookie sheet at least 1" apart.

Bake at 300�F for 20 minutes. After five minutes in oven, press cookies down with a fork in a criss-cross manner (not necessary. If you don�t press them they will come out looking like the ones you buy in the box). Continue baking, being careful not to burn and adjusting time for your oven. Makes 20-24 cookies.


Molasses substitute: (makes 1 cup worth)
3/4 of sugar Plus 2 teaspoons baking powder (increase liquid called for in recipe by 5 tablespoons and decrease baking soda by 1/2 teaspoon)
OR * 3/4 cup sugar plus 1 1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar (increase liquid called for in recipe by 5 tablespoons)

(buny's note: recipe didn't specify how much molasses sub. to use)
