Neece's Delicious Low Carb High Fiber Oatmeal Cookies
"These cookies are DELICIOUS and Healthy too! My husband and I are on a low carb diet and really missed cookies, so it took awhile for me to come up with this recipe. Even if you aren't on a low carb diet, you'll love these."

ingredients
- 1 cup butter, at room temperature
- 1 1⁄2 cups sugar substitute (I recommend Splenda)
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup almonds, ground
- 1⁄4 cup oat bran
- 1 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons flax seed meal
- 2 cups oats (oatmeal, old fashioned)
- 1 cup raisins
directions
- Mix together butter, Splenda, molasses and pumpkin pie spice until creamy.
- Add eggs and beat until smooth.
- In a separate bowl mix together ground almonds, oat bran, vanilla protein powder, baking soda, salt, flaxseed meal and oatmeal.
- Add slowly to butter mix and blend well.
- Add raisins and mix again.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray 2 cookie sheets with cooking spray and drop dough onto them.
- These cookies do not spread out very much so you may want to press them down a little bit.
- The less you press them out the fatter and chewier they are.
- Bake 8-10 minutes.
- Be careful not to overbake.

I don't see the protein mentioned in the directions. But it's in the ingredient list. Am I missing something? -

Absolutely delicious! Thank you!<br/>TO: those who did not like the recipe, you can add or sub your own ingredients to your liking but do not tell others "Don't bother"...it's good to leave your feedback, but let's all be positive, everyone has their own opinion and can find out for themselves whether or not they like this recipe. -
These cookies give me so much energy I can't do with out them. Two cookies on my break at work have an amazing effect on my afternoon-falling-asleep-problem--T Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!--LisaJo My changes: I use Wheat Bran because I can't locate Oat Bran. I use Soy Protein Powder and then and 1.5 tsp's of vanilla to the egg/butter mixture. I use 1 cup of Craisens instead of raisens. -
I was looking for a high fiber cookie and these cookies not only fit the bill but tasted great as well. I expecially liked the taste the ground almonds provided. I used 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar instead of Splenda. I used honey in place of molasses and 2 tsp. vanilla in place of vanilla protein powder (which I could not find). I also added 1 1/2 cups flour. I'm sure with all my changes the cookies are no longer low carb, but are still high in fiber. Thanks for the recipe. -
Excellent cookies. I used brown sugar, rather than a sugar substitute. Thanks for a great recipe!

Use unsweetened applesauce in place of the butter. Came out soft and less fat. -
These cookies are a hit... I made a few changes out of necessity... 18 packs of sweet in low instead of splenda, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour instead of oat bran, 1/3 cup each... walnuts-pecans-almonds, margarine instead of butter, 1/4 cup flax meal and I soaked my raisins overnight in 1 teaspoon of rum and 2 tablespoons of coffee. I used a small scoop (about size of melon baller) pressed them down and baked 6 minutes... For the ones that like sugar I made a very thick powdered sugar icing with a teaspoon of vanilla and water as needed to make thick but spreadable. Let icing set before putting away. If you are not going to eat right away, put in container and freeze or they will spoil... enjoy!
