Lower carb, lower sugar NOT low calorie......

As many of you know, I have had a terrible time with Reactive Hypoglycemia which restricted my diet terribly!! I cobbled together this recipe from bits and pieces of other recipes to add calories without as much sugar and carbs. The RH did get so severe that these were even out for a while, but they are back and are yummy IF you can afford the calories. I am still working to get back up to 115 and these are helping. My picky kids even love them 

Martha Friendly Oatmeal Raisin Cookies 

3 cups Old Fashion Oats (not quick oats)

½ cup raisins

1 cup Splenda

2 sticks butter, well softened

1 ½ cups almond flour

2 large eggs

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp ground cinnamon

Pre heat oven to 350 degrees

With an electric mixer, beat softened butter and Splenda on medium for 2 minutes. Lower speed and add eggs and vanilla until well blended. Slowly add almond flour, baking soda and cinnamon, mix until all are blended together. With a spoon mix in the oats and raisins.

With 2 teaspoons mold roundish balls of about 2” each onto cookie sheets. The cookies pretty much keep the same form when cooked. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes. Let cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes before moving to cooling rack.

I used an online recipe calculator for the stats on them and this is what it spit out:

This recipe looks SO good! I love that it's flourless. I'm not EVEN going to try them at this point, but I'm keeping your recipe for a year from now!

These do sound great! Do you think soy flour could be substituted for the almond flour?

I have never before heard of soy flour! I just did a quick Google search on it and still really don't know.....from what I can find it seems like you can't really JUST use soy flour, but can substitute some of the regular flour in a recipe for soy. Do you use it in other baked goods?

Baking with it has yielded varying results - it works great for things like breading for chicken - just trying to see if I can get away with using stuff I have on hand - but I may just head to the store for this one!

Soy flour is fat free.  The almond flour has fat and some carbs + fiber.  I think you may try - but you may end up with not enough fat in the cookies. Also - almond flour has a sweet taste to it - you may need to add some more liquid and sweetener when you use soy.

I think using coconut flour may do the trick.
