After enjoying this recipe for more than 30 years, I knew it was time to revise it. I was happy to discover that replacing the oil with applesauce and using fat-free half-and-half didn't alter the flavor of my favorite snack. âPat Van Cleve of Winston-Salem, North Carolina Ingredients:
1 cup quick-cooking oats |
1-1/2 cups boiling water |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |

2 teaspoons baking powder |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |

1 cup flaked coconut |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |

1/4 cup fat-free half-and-half |
