Healthier Oatmeal Cookies, Lower Cal and Fat
"Just something I kind of adapted from other recipes I have used to make them a little healthier and less sugary, lower fat and more fiber. Not using butter saves almost 300 calories and they are still very good. Especially for those trying to watch what you eat and for people who eat healthy but crave the occasional treat!"

I thought these were not going to turn out right at first but they came out really good. Light and not heavy from oils or butters. I will definitely be making these again in the near future. Thanks for a healthier version of oatmeal cookies. Great recipe. : D

I am a 22 year old married to a wonderful man and mother of 1. He was born June of 2007, and his name is Noah Aidan!
I LOVE this site and there are SO many helpful recipes here! I am in the process of trying to convert all of my recipes from caned/boxed stuff into made from scratch recipes. And this site is my STAPLE for doing so! Im just trying to make everything more healthy for my family and I. We eat about 95% organic food. So the problem with buying even canned organic foods, is that they still tend to contain somethings like "yeast extract" which is just another form of MSG. Also, I would like to add that I am not a doctor (alot of people see the dr_kaley and think so), but I AM currently working toward my Master Herbalist degree. I do alot with herbs and the only medicines we use, are herbal. I even make alot of my own herbal medicines.
