Hi, i am playing round with making a healthy (ish) oatmeal cookie and wondered if i could add grated apple to the mix, would this cook in a cookie ok? its also got saltanas, spices, honey etc... no butter or sugar.

yum just made them and already polished off 2.... they are incredibly moist, almost like mini muffins in a large cookie shape.

Recipe please:)
I tried an apple crumble type Protein Bakery one at the Food Show, tasted great but ingredient and nutritional didn't sound to good to me so I won't be buying them.

oh ok, well i didnt really keep track of the exact quantites of things i put in but here it is thereabouts: Dry Ingrediants: 1/2 cup flour 1/2 cup wheatgerm 1 cup shredded coconut 1 cup saltana(next time i will add finely chopped walnuts too) 1 1/2 cups rolled oats 1/2 teaspoon each of baking soda and baking powder 1 teaspoon nutmeg 3 teaspoons cinnomen
Wet Ingrediants 1 egg beaten in with a tablespoon of water 3/4 grated apple 1 tablespoon honey 1 table spoon maple syrup 1 table spoon olive oil
I put the honey, oil and maple syrup in pot and melted down then added the apple and the beaten egg. then mixed all in with the dry ingrediants.
I will play around with the recipe again to try and get more crunch to the cookies as they definitly more of a muffiny/muesli bar ish type consistancy. I guess butter would be the thing to give them crunch though. I find them yummy but hubby pronounced them 'healthy tasting'...meaning he didnt like them!! But im on a diet and looking for healthy alternatives so i am happy with them.
Baked for around 20mins on a low heat...around 150 i think. They probably could have done with longer in the oven.
