I adapted these from a King Arthur recipe. We enjoyed these healthy wheat free cookies. If you double the recipe and use 2 cookie sheets reverse them halfway through baking (top to bottom, bottom to top). Watch for over baking.

Time 24m

Yield 18-20 cookies, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup quick-cooking oatmeal or 1 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
6 tablespoons pecans, coarsely chopped (I used pecan chips)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4-1/2 teaspoon orange zest (optional)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons Splenda brown sugar blend or 6 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons Splenda granular or 2 tablespoons sugar
1 large egg
1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F; lightly grease a baking sheet.
  • If using old fashioned oats pulse them in a food processor a few times.
  • Combine the oats, nuts, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and orange zest (if using) in a food processor, blender or a medium bowl (if using an immersion blender). Pulse until the nuts are finely chopped and evenly distributed. **You should end up with a fine meal. This is taking the place of flour**.
  • Beat the butter and sugars in a large bowl until smooth.
  • Add the egg, scraping the bowl and beating until smooth.
  • Stir in the vinegar and vanilla, then the oat mixture.
  • Drop the dough by 1/2 tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet. (They don't spread much).
  • Bake cookies for 10-14 minutes until the edges are barely browned.
  • Remove them from the oven and let them cool on baking sheet for about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer to rack or paper bag to cool completely.
  • **Mine turned out as small round puffy soft and slightly chewy cookies**.

Low-Fat Butterscotch Oatmeal Pecan Cookies image

Wow these are good for being low-fat! Sometimes to make them even healthier, I replace half the flour with whole wheat flour, and I use 1/4 cup honey to replace half of the light corn syrup. These do not spread out at all. They are wonderful things to pop in your mouth when you want something sweet. This is a variation from Tribole's "Healthy Desserts"

Kids of all ages love this --- I also added in some cinnamon and raisins but that is optional --- you can also make this in the microwave, I use an 8-cup pyrex measuring cup just remove a few times and stir --- I top this with a bit of 18% cream and sprinkle with a sugar/cinnamon topping --- the recipe is enough for 2-4 servings but I can eat the whole thing myself this is so good :)

  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
