I finally had some clean eating success with my dessert of choice this weekend: clean oatmeal cookies! They really hit the spot for a cookie craving I was having this weekend. And instead of bothering my poor husband to take me out to dessert after dinner and a movie, I just came home and had a few of these. By the teaspoonful, they're only 70 cals each and packed with fiber and antioxidants (thanks to the dark chocolate chunks and cranberries).
Clean Eating Oatmeal Cookies1/2 c. canola oil
1/3 c. + 2T. sucanat (or approx. 1/4 c. agave nectar to taste)
1 egg white
3/4 t. vanilla
3T. water
2 c. old-fashioned (slow cooking) oatmeal
2/3 c. whole wheat flour
1/4 t. sea salt
1/2 t. baking soda
2/3 c. raisins (I did 1/3 c. craisins + 1/3 c. dark chocolate pieces)
1 t. cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350, and grease your cookie sheets. Mix first 5 (wet) ingredients and slowly stir in the dry except add-ins. Fold in add-ins (raisins, crasisins, chocolate, etc.). Drop by teaspoonsful on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 min. (my oven took 12 min.) or until just browned on the bottom. You may have to check the bottoms as these cookies don't look "done" like regular cookies do. These little gems are on only 70 cals, 3.5 grams of fat, 9 carbs, 1 gram protein, and 1 gram fiber (which is good for a cookie!). Enjoy!

Those look yummy. We might have to try those over here. We are in the middle of out P90X workout, but I still have the "sweet" crazyings. This might just be the right alternative.
