Ingredients
1 cup oat flour (or 1 cup oats finely ground in food processor or blender)1 tsp baking powder1/2 tsp baking soda1/2 tsp salt1/2 tsp ground cinnamon2 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature1/4 cup splenda1 large egg1/4 cup honey1/4 cup sweetened apple sauce (unsweetened is better -- add 1/4 C more of Splenda. This was all I could find)1/2 tsp vanilla extract2 cups quick oats1/2 cup dark chocolate chips1/3 cup dry cranberries1/4 cup sweetened coconut
Preheat oven to 350°; line a 9 x 9 baking pan with 2 long pieces of parchment paper, long enough to go up over the sides for easy removal. Lightly spray with oil.
In a medium bowl, whisk together oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
In a large bowl, with a mixer cream together the butter and the splenda on medium speed.
Add the egg followed by the honey, applesauce and vanilla extract.
Working by hand, stir in the flour mixture and the oats until just combined and no streaks of flour remain; stir in the chocolate chips, cranberries, and coconut.
Spoon oats onto prepared baking dish, flattening to make even. Bake for about 23-25 minutes, or until light brown at the edges. They will seem soft and undercooked, but once they cool they will set completely.
Serving Size: Makes 16 equal pieces
Number of Servings: 16
