Recipe Request - Oatmeal Cookies (Pre-Maintenance)

[JoanOH]

DH just asked me if I could make him some LC oatmeal cookies. I have steel cut oats and Sugar Twin brown sugar, so think this might be a possibility. I hate to experiement too much, since the ingredients are pricey. Anyone already have a recipe for LC oatmeal cookies? Hopefully no SOY flour -- that stuff tastes like dust! LOL

I'm thinking maybe almond flour -- and soak the steel cut oats for a few hours -- add egg, butter, brown sugar(twin)...cinnamon... ???

There is a oatmeal cookie recipe in Dana Carpender's 500 Low Carb Recipe book. It's at home and I'm currently not. :sadblinky

Oatmeal Cookies
Recipe Byana Carpender

1 cup coconut oil
1 cup butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups Splenda
1 teaspoon blackstrap molasses
2 egg
1 cup almond meal
1 cup protein Powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup pecans, chopped

Preheat oven to 350F. Beat together coconut oil, butter and Splenda until well combined, creamy and fluffy.

Beat in molasses and eggs, combining well, followed by ground almonds, protein powder, salt and soda, scraping down the sides of the bowl a few times and making sure the ingredients are well combined.

Beat in the cinnamon, rolled oats and pecans.

Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray (or use parchment or silicone sheet) and drop dough onto it by the scant tablespoonful, leaving plenty of room for spreading.

Bake 10 minutes, or until golden. Transfer to wire racks to cool.

I found them fairly greasy, so you may need to adjust the oil/fat content.

I'd stay away from the steel cut oats for cookies. Pre-soaking may not be enough, you probably need to cook them beforehand. I think it's too many variables. Better to get 1-minute rolled oats.
