Oatmeal Scotches are a family favorite in my house. I wanted to create a lighter recipe so I could enjoy as well. I reduce the amount of butter by half, but could try using 1 full cup of applesauce.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
1 egg
1 egg white
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup splenda sugar substitute, plus
2 tablespoons splenda sugar substitute
1 (12 ounce) package butterscotch chips
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375°F.
2. Grease cookie sheets, or a 9x13 cake pan.
3. Combine the first five ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl and set aside.
4. Combine egg whites, butter, apple sauce, and sugars in large mixing bowl.
5. Mixing with hand held mixer or with wooden spoon til incorporated. Mix should resemble sand.
6. Gradually add the flour mixture to creamed mix until mixed together.
7. Stir in butterscotch chips.
8. Drop by teaspoon on sheets. Placed 2 inches apart. Bake 8-10 minutes or til edges golden brown. If baking bar version, bake 20-25 minutes, or til center is set.
9. Cool completely on wire rack.
