Cookies!



I may have mentioned that I have a hellofa sweet tooth. And of all sweet treats..I'm a sucker for cookies. I have come up with these two recipes both are low in sugar and high in fiber. Oh..and did I mention super hella yummy?


Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies

Dry Ingredients                                                  
1 Cup Unbleached White Flour                                                         
1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour                                                                 
1/4 Cup Wheat Bran                                             
1&1/3 Cup Old Fashioned Oats                         
1 Teaspoon each Salt & Baking Soda               
                                                                           
Wet Ingredients
3/4 Cup Honey
2 Tbs. Pure Maple Syrup
2 Tbs. Molasses
1/2 Cup Oil
1 Cup Pumpkin Puree  
1 Teaspoon each Vanilla,Cinnamon&Nutmeg                     

Combine Dry Ingredients. In separate bowl combine Wet Ingredients. Combine both and mix well. These will not spread much, so I smoosh them down pretty flat. Bake at 350. Bake until done(depends on cookie size)


Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies

Dry Ingredients                                                   
1 Cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour                    
1 Cup Unbleached White Flour                      
2 Cups Old Fashioned Oats                             
1 Teaspoon each Salt & Baking Soda    

Wet Ingredients      
1/2 Cup each Oil and Apple Sauce
1/2-3/4 Cup Agave Nectar                         
1 Tbs.each Vanilla, Maple Syrup & Molasses
1 Apple pealed and chopped in small pieces   

Combine Dry Ingredients. In separate bowl combine Wet Ingredients. Combine both and mix well. Add Apple and mix well. Bake on 350 till done.

These are both pretty similar recipes, and I imagine you could do all kinds of customizations to them. The first time I made the pumpkin ones I still had a handful of white and dark chocolate chips laying around, so I added them also. There being no butter to cream, vegan cookies are pretty easy to whip up on the fly.
