I'm pre-diabetic so used monk fruit and followed Amelia Bundy's notes to make these. The texture and structure is right for no-bakes but they're way too sweet. I'm just learning to cook with monk fruit so will reduce the amount a bit further from Amelia's notes next time I make them. And one and a half minutes is way too long for the hard boil. Just one minute but exactly one minute. -
I made these today with stevia. Never came to a boil because skim on top. So I don’t know if it boiled. But it was boiling under the skim. So they ended up too dry and not very sweet but that’s because I only used 1 1/2 C sweetener. Also tasted alittle burnt (but not bad) like I over cooked. But I’ve still been eating them all day. Craving oats so much lately.

I tried this recipe with a few low fat alterations. I used raw chunky peanut butter (peanuts and salt only). I substituted unsweetened applesauce for butter, water for milk and added 1/8 tsp of salt. Very tasty but must stay refrigerated. Will increase cocoa powder to taste, probably another Tbls, next time. -
These turned out great. I used monk fruit and for personal preference used only 1 and 1/2 cups of it. For those who are complaining of these being dry or crumbly, make sure you only use 4 leveled tbs of cocoa powder, it dries things out unless you add more fat or oil, also make sure you are boiling (hard rapid boil) for 1 min and remove immediately from the heat. Also add the oats and peanut butter to the pot itself it will make the oats softer and melt the peanut butter and keep the mixture warmer longer so a good mix can happen. To avoid dryness do not freeze, just put in the fridge. Freezing also causes these to get crumbly and hard. The number one thing to remember is this is basically a very easy candy recipe. You have to get the butter melted completely before bringing the mix to a boil and the boil needs to be a rapid rolling boil that's what helps with the cookies binding later. Hope this helps. -
Im sorry but if you add peanut butter to any thing it is truly not sugar free

I used this recipe for someone that is diabetic. To me the cookies taste rather bland, left a weird after taste like you just drank Koolaid, and were quite crumbly. Maybe they don't have enough chocolate, and have too many oats (and maybe I don't like Splenda in food?)? The recipient was happy to have cookies though so it's all good. ?? -

Now I post all recipes I've tried or would like to try. I'm actually making it my goal to try almost all the recipes I've posted as soon as I can. I love food and I love to eat and try different recipes. My favorite course is dessert. I love sweets! This leads me to that I did have Gastric Bypass surgery on July 25th 2008. On that note I love baking and cooking a priceless gift passed down from my grammy who I dearly loved and miss deeply. My grammy passed away 1/15/07. She was a wonderful cook and baker and taught me many things and the most valueable things was how to be a wonderful cook and baker like her. I really enjoy searching for new recipes especially here on Zaar. I'm always finding and adding to my cookbook new and exciting recipes. I also enjoy posting recipes here on Zaar as well. I really love collecting different cookbooks. I have over a 100 and growing! I collect mostly Taste Of Home & community cookbooks. The minute I get a cookbook home I sit down and I read my cookbooks from front to back like novels. I work for the Elmira City School District and YWCA. I'm raising my 8 yrs old newphew. I'm a part time college student studing Early Childhood Education, but taking time off and hoping to return soon. I live in Elmira, New York where famous writer Mark Twain did some of his writing and he once lived. I have 1 cats Samantha and 1 dog our newest member MOO MOO (my nieces dog) who are my children as I do not have any human children of my own. I lost four of my very dear children (kitty's) Callie June 2007, Miss Kitty in March 2010, my dog Angel in December 2010, and my other cat Chase in September 2011. I'm recently married on August 12th 2010. I love spending time with my niece 9 yrs old and my newphews 7 & 8 yrs old. I enjoy couponing and trading coupons. I love the internet as there's so much to look at online even though you know where I spend most of my time! I enjoy going to yard sales and estate sales every spring - fall. I love gardening and have many different pretty flowers.</p>
