No Sugar Added Oatmeal Cookies for the Diabetics and Dieters

Are you promising yourself to start the new year on a healtier note?  Maybe you or a loved one have recently been diagnosed as a diabetic or perhaps you just wish to cut down on the sugar in your family's diet.  Here are some cookie recipes for you to try.  I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes when I was sixty.  I experiment with sugar-free recipes all the time.  My 4-year-old granddaughter loves to help me in the kitchen.  I find that she loves eating the sugar-free cookies the same as the "sugar" ones.  If you start the kiddos out on less sugar while they are young, you are doing them a big favor and they won't even realize they are eating healthier.  The Sugarless Bananan-Oatmeal Cookies are good to start with.  The bananas add moisture (a problem in sugar-free baking) and natural sweetness.  jNo Sugar Added Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies are also a good cookie as the oatmeal adds some moisture and the raisins add natural sweetness.

 SUGARLESS BANANA-OATMEAL COOKIES

3 bananas, mashed

2 cups uncooked quick-cooking oats

1/2 cups raisins

1/3 cup butter, melted

1/4 cup fat-free milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

In a large mixing bowl, mix all ingredients together, beating well.  Let mixture set for 5 minutes for oats to absorb moisture.   Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.  Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.  Let stand for 1 minute before removing from cookie sheet.  Remove to wire racks to cool.

Note:  Use medium to large ripe bananas.  Using small or barely ripe bananas will make your cookies dry.  If your bananas are small, use 3 1/2 to 4.

NO SUGAR ADDED OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES

2 eggs or 1/2 cup egg substitute

1/2 cup canola oil

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

3 tsp. baking powder

5 packets Sweet 'N Low (or your favorite sugar-substitute packets)

1/2 cup milk

1/2 tsp. salt

3/4 cup flour

2 cups raw oats

1/2 cup raisins

Beat together the eggs, oil, vanilla, milk, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and Sweet 'N Low.  Add flour and mix thoroughly.  Add raisins and oats.  Mix well and drop by spoonfuls onto cookie sheet that's been sprayed with vegetable oil spray.  Bake 25 minutes.  Cool slightly before removing from cookie sheet.  NOTE:  These cookies freeze well.

Enjoy!

how do i get baked on stuff OFF my cookie sheet?

i made that frenchs fried onions chicken, and you roll the chicken in egg, then the crushed up stuff. well the egg baked onto the cookie sheet, and i tried scrubbing it off and there was a few spots left, and i just kinda gave up and put it in the dishwasher. bad move i guess, cuz now it won't budge. any suggestions or ideas? i soaked it in the sink in hot water with soap - nothing.

Wet the pan with water. Liberally sprinkle baking soda over the pan. Let it sit for about 20 minutes or so and use a sponge or towel to rub the damp paste of baking soda all over the pan. It works as a mild, but scratch free abrasive & should pull the baked on stuff right off.
