1/2 teaspoon of Nutmeg
2-3 cups of Quick Oats (Bob's Red Mill)
Preparation:
Mix together dry ingredients (minus oats)
Beat Butter, sugars until creamy
Add Pumpkin, eggs and vanilla (scrap sides)
Add dry mixture to wet

Close all the windows before baking these because you want to
preserve the wonderful smell!

A girl after my own heart! Healthy treats! We just discovered a fat-free baking book and have been making healthy scones. I substituted sugar for Splenda. Bet you're losing weight or maintaining! We are! :-) Good for you!

ReplyDeleteHilani,
ReplyDeleteHave you created any gluten-free recipes for cookies or cakes? Can't have wheat flour or anything with gluten.

ReplyDeleteThanks Betsy for stopping by. Hope you're having a great day/week.
DeleteGuess what I am making tonight!!!!
ReplyDeleteYa!!!
DeleteI made these last night. Right out of the oven they were great. This morning when i ate a couple more iI actually found them to be quiet dry. The only substitution I did was to use 1/4 cup trivia baking blend instead of the 1/2 cup white sugar. I think next time I will reduce the amount of flour. The last 12 cookies of the batch I added raisins too and that helped a little by adding a little more moisture and sweetness. I think these would fall more into a breakfast cookie category as one would need tea or coffee with them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and giving feedback! They are such a versatile cookie that with coffee or tea is surely a win! Raisins sound great!
