Recipe: Healthy & Chewy Oatmeal Cookies

These are not low-carb, but they are lower-carb and low-fat and still taste great. The wheat gluten makes these high in protein and lower in carbs than using wheat flour. :)

Healthy & Chewy Oatmeal Cookies

* 3 cups Old Fashioned oatmeal
* 1 ½ cups "vital wheat gluten flour" Check the flour section of the grocery store for "Bob’s Red Mill" brand. May also use 1 cup wheat gluten and a ½ cup whole wheat flour.
* 1 ½ cups Splenda
* 2 cups unsweetened applesauce
* 3 egg whites (or equivalent Egg Beaters)
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 2 teaspoons cinnamon
* ½ teaspoon salt
* 1 cup raisins (optional)

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients together. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet. Bake 15-17 minutes or until golden brown. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
