Cooking Time9 min
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup margarine
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup sugar substitute, blended until fine
- 2 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour, all-purpose or white whole wheat
- 3 overflowing tablespoons no sugar added cocoa powder, plus enough flour to make 1/2 cup total
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 cup rolled oats
- 3 cup Barbara's Bakery Organic Wild Puffs Crunch Cocoa cereal
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the margarine, brown sugar and sugar substitute. Add egg whites and vanilla extract, and beat to combine.
- In another bowl combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and oats. Add this mixture to the first mixture and thoroughly combine.
- Pour the chocolate cereal into a separate bowl.
- Take the dough, a tablespoonful at a time, and form it into balls. Press each ball firmly into the cereal, so that the cereal sticks to the dough on one side of the ball. Poke additional cereal into any bare spots.
- Place the balls 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet, and flatten them slightly. Bake for 9 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
