Oat and wheat chocolate chip cookies - sugar free

Sounds kind of gross but the 5 year old ate them so they can't be all that bad. I like sugar fee items so the real test is a kid that likes her sugar, right?

Each time I make them, they seem to be a little different and I don't measure well.

2 cups wheat flour
2 cups rolled oats
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup margarine (melted)
1 cup applesauce
1/4 cup honey
2 eggs (but 1 works just as well, they're just heavier)
1/2 tsp Cinnamon

Optional:
Sugar or sugar substitute can be added for sweetness.
Dried Cranberries or Raisins
Malt Sweetened Chocolate Chips - or regular chocolate chips if you're so inclined.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Farenheit
Mix it all up. If it's still too dry i will add some water to the mix just to get to stick together.
Plop spoon fulls of cookie onto a greased cookie sheet.
Bake 8-10 minutes - you don't want to over cook these. You just want them lightly browned on the bottom.

Tropical Granola

I had to keep myself from eating the whole batch of this raw.

3 Cups Rolled Oats
3/4 cup Oat Bran
1 cup of chopped Almonds
1 cup of coconut flakes
1/2 cup honey
6 ounces of Pineaple juice
Cooking spray

Spray the mixing bowl (easier to get it all out afterwards)
Spray the sheet pan

Mix all dry ingredients
Mix in pineapple juice
Mis in honey

Spread out onto a cookie sheet
Bake 300 degrees stirring to make sure it all gets toasty.

Seal in an air tight container - if there is any left.

Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake

It's easier to make than it sounds.

2 8oz softened pkgs of cream cheese (low fat version is just as good)
1/2 cup of sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp Vanilla
3/4 Cup Peanut Butter**
8 oz of Semi sweet chocolate chips - melted
1 prepared Chocolate graham cracker crust.

Whip the cream cheese, vanilla and sugar together.
Whip in the 2 eggs.

Seperate into 2 halves
In one half whip in the Peanut Butter then pour into the prepared crust.
In the other half whip in the melted chocolate chips and pour on top of the Peanut butter in the crust.

Toss in the oven at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until done (no more jiggly middle)

**I think 1/2 cup of peanut butter would work but I put in 1 whole cup because I'm a peanut butter addict.

Harvest Casserole and Garlic Cheese Rolls

Recipe:
Crust
1 stick of butter or margarine melted
1 Cup of crushed walnuts
1 Cup of flour
Mix this all together and spread in the bottom of your 9"x13" pan. Bake for 15 minutes in a 350 F oven. Then let it cool before you continue with the rest of the layers.

Layer 1
1 Cup Cool Whip
8 ounces of soft Cream Cheese
1 Cup Confectioners sugar
Mix this all up well and spread onto your cool crust

Layer 2
2 packages of Lemon Pudding
3 Cups of Milk
Mix well and put over layer 1
Put back in the fridge to set up

Spread a layer of cool whip on top and sprinkle with crushed walnuts.

VOILA!
It may seem like it takes a long time but really it doesn't and its sooooo good.
For those on a diabetic style diet you can omit the flour and it will come out ok, not as good as it is with four, but it's still really good. The confectioners sugar can be replaced with diet sugar or fructose. Of course you can get pudding and Cool whip that is sugar free. This realy is a desert than can be made for anyone. The Lemon pudding was replaced with chocolate once. I don't like chocolate that much but it can be done for those of you that need it.
