Oatmeal Cookies

I have finally, somewhat, achieved a cookie that eats like a cookie!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup applesauce, unsweetened
1 TBSP vegetable oil
1 cup sweetener of choice
1 cup brown sweetener of choice
3 eggs
3 TBSP water
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cups wheat flour
1 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
3 1/2 cups oat bran
3/4 tsp allspice
3/4 tsp cloves
3/4 tsp nutmeg
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Procedure:
Preheat oven to 375F

Combine all dry ingredients, set aside. Combine all wet ingredients and mix until well blended. Slowly combine the wet and dry ingredients. Mix until combined well.
Scoop onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes.

Makes approximately 3 dozen.

From my calculations 2 of these cookies count as one serving of oat bran per day (OK, just a bit more than the 3 TBSP in later phases). Each cookie is about 1.67 TBSP of oat bran. These taste great with tea in the morning, and would be great with cream cheese.

  1. I was just wondering how applesauce and wheat flour is acceptable during the cruise phase.

    1. Thanks for pointing that out, I have it listed incorrectly. Applesauce and wheat flour are only valid in phases 3 and 4. Sorry for the error.
