SUGAR-FREE OATMEAL COOKIES



Sugar-Free Oatmeal Cookies image

Fast easy oatmeal cookies for the dieter or diabetic in the family. You can add raisins or craisins. This recipe came from a friend and then I changed it to add the splenda instead of sugar. For the oatmeal, I personally used the 3-minute type. I like the cookies because I love cookies and since I am now diabetic I can't have any so of course I think these are great!

SPLENDA BRN SUGAR OATMEAL COOKIES



Splenda Brn Sugar Oatmeal Cookies image

This is actually 1/2 recipe so I don't have so many cookies at once. Myself and a friend have diebetes so it makes me feel good to use this with the splenda brn sugar and we love them and no one else ever notices its splenda. I also like to zap in microwave if they have sat awhile to warm them I put them in for like 10 seconds...

Provided by Debi Newton

Categories     Cookies

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 stick butter,softened
2/3 c splenda brown sugar blend
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 c flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 c quaker oats
3/4 c raisins
1/2 c pecans and or walnuts chopped up

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, egg and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together. Stir this into the butter/sugar mixture. Stir in the oats, raisins and walnuts, if using them.
  • 2. At this point you can either chill the dough for a bit in the fridge and then scoop it, or scoop the cookies onto a sheet and then chill the whole tray before baking them. You could also bake them right away, if you're impatient, but I do find that they end up slighly less thick. (I personally never chill mine)
  • 3. The cookies should be two inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake them for 10 to 12 minutes (your baking time will vary, depending on your oven and how cold the cookies were going in), taking them out when golden at the edges but still a little undercooked-looking on top. Let them sit on the hot baking sheet for five minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool.
  • 4. I have recently made these and added crunchy peanut butter instead of the other nuts and we loved it =) Try just adding some peanut butter to a cookie or two when you bake them just to see if you will like them thats what I did then added to the whole batter.

OATMEAL COOKIES (WITHOUT THE SUGAR)



Oatmeal Cookies (Without the Sugar) image

They are not as sweet as most oatmeal cookies I've had, which is a good thing. We could not stop eating them; especially my preschooler. They are excellent "nutritional supplements!" There is no sugar in this recipe however if you prefer sugar to honey--then simply alter the recipe....cut the baking soda to 1/4 tsp. and add an extra tablespoon of water. Your baking temperature should go to 350 if you are using sugar. When replacing sugar with honey you have to increase the baking soda to increase the acid and you reduce liquid by 1 Tablespoon. Also, with honey baking--lower the baking temp.

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 30-36 cookies, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup whole wheat flour (a pinch more depending on the moisture of the mix)
1 1/2 cups oats
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cinnamon (I actually use about 3 Tbsp(got to love cinnamon)
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
3/4 cup honey
1/2 cup oil, you can also use some applesauce to replace some of the oil if you wish (corn, grapeseed or olive)
1 tablespoon molasses
1 egg (beat with 1 Tbsp Water)
3 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
1/2 cup walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together.
  • In a medium bowl, mix all the wet ingredients together. Hint: when measuring out the honey, spray the measuring cup with oil or baking spray--your honey won't stick).
  • Mix the wet stuff with the dry stuff. Add the raisins and walnuts and mix. If the mixture seems too wet, add a bit of flour. If it isn't binding together very well, you may wish to add an egg white.
  • COOL the mix for 20 minutes in the fridge.
  • Preheat the oven to 335 degrees (lower temperature due to the honey in the recipe which will burn more easily).
  • Drop by teaspoonfuls onto your baking sheet (I recommend lining the baking sheet with parchment paper). Press down with a fork to ensure even cooking.
  • Bake for about 15 - 20 minutes or until golden on the bottom of the cookie. The cookies freeze very well and make a great snack! Enjoy.

Time 17m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup traditional oatmeal (Not instant)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup organic dried cranberries
2 tablespoons real maple syrup
1/4 cup agave syrup
1/4 cup canola oil
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • These can be made with just a bowl and a spoon--overmixing will make them spongy, so start by mixing the dry ingredients together and then add syrups, oil, vanilla and cranberries.
  • Spoon onto lightly greased, parchment or silpat surface. Bake for 10 or less minutes, until just turning slightly brown on edges--cookies may seem a bit too soft, but they will firm up a bit while still maintaining a good soft moist texture.
  • Be careful not to overcook (or yes, they will be dry and hard)!

REDUCED SUGAR WHOLE WHEAT OATMEAL COOKIES



Reduced Sugar Whole Wheat Oatmeal Cookies image

Dana and I are trying to ease up on the white flour and refined sugar, but it's hard sometimes to do without creating "cardboard" tasting foods. He asked me to find an oatmeal cookie recipe that had no sugar and used whole wheat flour. I wasn't completely successful finding one, so I took a standard oatmeal cookie recipe and...

Provided by Lisa Crum

Categories     Cookies

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/3 c whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 c oats, uncooked
1/2 c butter or margerine, soft or melted
2 eggs
1 c nuts (i used a combination of walnuts and almond slices, chopped)
1 c splenda
1/4 c molasses
1 tsp cinnamon
1 pkg chopped dates or dried fruit. i made two batches, one with dates and the other with a package of dried mixed berries. they were both delicious.

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. Mix flour, baking powder, Splenda, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and oats together. Add butter, eggs, vanilla. Stir in remainder of ingredients.
  • 2. Place walnut-sized balls of dough on greased cookie sheet, and flatten (where it's whole wheat, they don't spread without some help). I also smoothed the edges with my fingers so that they wouldn't be so bad to crumble.
  • 3. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes on cookie sheet, then transfer gently to a wire rack to finish the cooling process. These will do best if you don't flatten them to any more than 1/3 inch thick. They'll have a chewy, dense texture...and if you like whole grain foods, I'm guessing you'll really be pleased with the taste of these.

Tips for Baking Oatmeal Sugar Cookies

- **Use old-fashioned rolled oats:** These oats will give your cookies a chewier texture than quick oats or instant oats. - **Toast the oats:** Toasting the oats will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant. - **Use brown sugar:** Brown sugar will give your cookies a richer flavor and a slightly chewy texture. - **Chill the dough:** Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape better and prevent them from spreading too much. - **Bake the cookies at a high temperature:** Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them brown and crisp on the edges. - **Watch the cookies carefully:** Oatmeal sugar cookies can burn easily, so it's important to watch them carefully while they're baking. - **Let the cookies cool completely:** Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them. This will help them to set and firm up. ###

Conclusion

Oatmeal sugar cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of cookies that are sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack, give oatmeal sugar cookies a try!
