Title: Oatmeal Cookies
Categories: Misc., Dec.
Yield: 1 servings

2 1/2 c Uncooked Scottish Style
Oats
1 1/2 c Whole wheat flour
1/2 t Cinnamon
1/2 t Baking soda
1/4 t Salt (optional)
1/3 c Honey
2/3 c Maple syrup
3/4 c Applesauce
1/2 t Vanilla
1/4 Banana
1/2 c Raisins or chopped dates
(optional)
1/2 c Chopped nuts (optional)

Heat oven to 375 F. Spray cookie sheet.

Combine dry ingredients, mix well.

Mash banana, add honey, maple syrup, applesauce and
vanilla and mix until smooth. Blend dry ingredients,
mixing thoroughly. Stir in raisins and nuts. Place
rounded spoonfuls of blended ingredients onto cookie
sheet.

Bake approximately 10 minutes. Cool. Enjoy.

Makes 50 cookies.

NOTES: I adapted this from a recipe on the back of Old
Wessex Scottish style porridge oats. These oats are
rolled, but are much thicker than Quaker oats. The
original recipe called for margarine (substituted
applesauce) and one egg (used an egg-sized piece of
banana). It also called for either 1 cup of honey or
one cup of maple syrup, but I like the taste of the
combination of honey and maple syrup. I put raisins in
it, but omitted the nuts. The cookies were great!
