AWESOME HEART-HEALTHY OATMEAL COOKIES



We took the shortening out of a favorite old recipe and replaced it with white beans. Even the skeptics approve!
Ingredients:
3/4 cup mashed white beans
3 tablespoons canola oil
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup egg substitute or 1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups oats
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon soda

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat mashed white beans, oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg substitute or egg, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Combine remaining dry ingredients in a separate bowl and mix together. Add to bean and sugar mixture; mix well. Drop onto greased cookie sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes. Cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to wire rack and cool completely.

Yield: about 36 cookies.

Nuts, coconut, raisins, and/or chocolate chips or other mix-ins may be added with dry ingredients for variety.
