Cooking Time7 min
Ingredients
- 2 cup oats
- 1 cup peanut flour
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup applesauce, unsweetened
- 1/4 cup Brummel & Brownâ„¢ butter substitute
- 1 cup NuNaturals NuStevia Sweetenerâ„¢ Stevia Baking Blend, or their MoreFiberâ„¢ Baking Blend
- 1/3 cup egg substitute, or 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sugar-free preserves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the oats, peanut flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder and salt in a medium to small bowl. Make sure they’re combined pretty well, and don’t stress too much if the peanut flour seems to be a little chunky. It will all work out in the end.
- Next, combine the butter substitute, applesauce and NuNaturals NuStevia Sweetener™ in a larger bowl and beat very well with an electric mixer until the mix gets fluffy and smooth-ish. Continue to beat and add in the egg substitute (or egg) , and the vanilla extract.
- You’ll probably have to turn the speed up on your mixer at this point because it’s going to get quite thick & sticky from here out. The next step is to gradually add your dry ingredients into the wet & keep beating until they are all well combined. You may have to stop the mixer & take some of the dough off the beaters to continue, but this is a good thing because it’s your chance to sample this sweet dough!
- Continue by spraying a lined baking pan, place into spoon-sized balls on a pan. Wet your thumb with water and imprint into the center of each dough ball then fill your centers with tiny spoonful of your sugar-free preserves.
- Place cookies in your oven for a quick bake of a mere 6-7 minutes.Take them out & let cool for a minute or two.
