My latest experiment turned out pretty well. I made cholesterol free oat meal cookies. Bear in mind these things aren't calorie free. If you over indulge, you will get fat. If you have to satisfy the urge for something baked, try these in moderation.
Dry Ingredients-
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar (I use "brownulated" sugar by Domino. Unlike regular brown sugar, the brownulated kind stays loose and pours from the bag.)
1-1/2 cups oats (the kind that cooks in one minute)
3/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 cup raisins
Wet Ingredients-
1/4 cup egg white
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/3 to 1/2 cup canola oil
Method-
Dump the dry ingredients into a bowl. Mix them up with a big spoon. Add the wet ingredients starting with egg white, then vanilla, then canola oil. After adding 1/3 cup of canola oil, stir the ingredients. If the dough holds together, you are ready to bake. If you need more oil, add the remainder slowly while stirring. Stop adding oil as soon as the dough sticks together nicely. Drop by spoonfuls on to a greased cookie sheet. You could also skip the grease and line your cookie sheet with parchment paper. The cookies just drop off the sheet, and you don't have to scrub the sheets when you are finished baking. Bake at 375° for 10-15 minutes depending on the size of your cookies. Makes about 25-30 cookies.
If you are tempted to substitute applesauce for the canola oil, DON'T! I tried that, and what came out of the oven was pretty bad.
