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...

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.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the walnuts from the recipe. The cookies were still delicious.

The cookies were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add a little bit of cinnamon or nutmeg next time.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover oatmeal. I always have a container of cooked oatmeal in my fridge.

I didn't have any raisins on hand, so I used dried cranberries instead. They worked just as well.

The cookies spread out a lot in the oven. I had to flatten them with a spatula before baking.

These cookies are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add a little extra butter next time.
