I have been craving oatmeal cookies lately, and have been searching for a good vegan version. I found a great vegan recipe for Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. I switched it up a little and used oat flour and added non-dairy chocolate chips and a little instant espresso powder. Proceed with caution when mixing the dough, because the dough is quite tasty and addicting! I will definitely be making these often. They are pure oatmeal cookie heaven...the perfect blend of soft and chewy! The best part is that they are low fat!Low Fat Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

ReplyDeleteNice recipe!! Oatmeal cookies are my favorite too!
ReplyDeleteooo count me in! yum!
ReplyDeleteI, too, love oatmeal cookies. In foods, fat is the major flavor carrier. Reduce the fat, you reduce the flavor (and good chewy texture). My philosophy is to avoid low fat but limit the quantity you eat. The end result is the same: less fat.
