Peanut Butter Oatmeal Raisin Breakfast Cookies (About 60 Calories Each)

*So I made these this morning and they are super tasty so I thought I would share. My notes are in the parentheses to reflect the changes I made from the original recipe. Because I used the apple sauce instead of the butter it required less Sugar and Brown Sugar. Next time I will try with whole wheat flour, just didn't have any. ENJOY!

Ingredients
1 Cup Butter (I used 1 Cup Apple Sauce instead – low/no sugar)
3/4 Cup Sugar (Only Needed 1/2 Cup – I used Splenda)
1 Cup Brown Sugar (Only Needed 1/4 Cup - I used Splenda)
1 Cup Crunchy Peanut Butter (I used Peter Pan Whipped)
2 Eggs
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla
1 1/2 Cups Flour
2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Cup Quick-Cooking Oats (1 1/4 Cups)
3/4 Cup Raisins (I used 1 Cup)

Directions
* In a large bowl mix the butter, sugar, and peanut butter
* Add eggs, one at a time and then add vanilla
* Mix dry ingredients together and add to sugar mixture
* Then add oats and raisins
* Form into 1 inch balls and press down onto parchment lined baking (I used Silpat Silicone Cookie Sheet Liners – they really don’t spread at all - and I used my cookie dropper)
* Bake at 350 degrees for 13-14 minutes (My oven is sorta funky so I turn it down to 325 and bake them for 7 minutes then switch the trays then another 3 minutes)

I got 50 cookied out of the recipe.

That sounds interesting. Could be used for morning or evening snack.

Just yesterday I PINNED a recipe for Banana Oatmeal Breakfast Cookie.

I too replace oil and butter with applesauce or mashed bananas.

Oh I am a pinning nut!!

I haven't liked bananas for the longest time but trying to start eating them again (mostly just in green monsters so far) - But I saw this great muffin recipe a few days ago that I really want to try!
