Does anyone have a recipe for snacks or desserts for someone with lupus?
Someone dear to me has lupus and is on a new diet plan. I wanted to bake her something but it cannot include oil, butter, flour, or sugar ( Splenda is fine). Can someone please help?!? An Oatmeal cookie recipe is ideal.
Answers:
I used to make these cookies for my diabetic elderly aunt. She really loved them and they're very healthy:
3 ripe bananas- mashed
1 cup chopped dried fruit (raisins, apricots, prunes- anything you like)
2 cups rolled oats
1/3 cup applesauce
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon (if desired)
Combine all and let sit for 20 minutes. Drop teaspoonfuls on greased baking sheet, flatten, and bake 15-20 minutes at 350 or until set.
You don't need splenda since the bananas and fruit provide sweetness.
These will keep at room temp for 1-2 days, but are best in the fridge (and they can be frozen).
