| Oatmeal, banana cookies. I got this which is listed as a Diabetic recipe in a local power company sponsored cookbook. I tried to figure the carb content but I had trouble running down all the exact figures. It appeared to me to be maybe on the high end. Although no four which is the claim to fame on the peanut butter cookies so popular here. It could be the amounts of fiber in the oats and fruit counteract the carbs.. I would be interested to know what kind of reaction people get to them.. I found them to be surprisingly tasty. If you cover them they get sort of soft when stored with the lid on which was a good contrast to the nuts and oats.
Diabetic Oatmeal, banana cookies.
3 medium bananas crushed
1/3 cup oil (I used smart balance)
1 teaspoon of vanilla
2 cups old fashioned oats
1 1/4 cups chopped walnuts
1/4 cup raisins
( I added 1 egg beater and sprinkled some splenda over the batter, maybe a teaspoon or two.
It was also suggested that perhaps some cinnamon might add to it.
Combine bananas, oil and vanilla. Stir in oats, walnuts and raisins. Drop by tablespoon full on baking sheet. (I didn't grease but the wanted to stick). Bake at 350 for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. |
