Re: oatmeal cookies what did I do wrong?
Yup, stevia.
I have been putting oatmeal in the blender to make oat flour and it's been a great, inexpensive way to bake gluten free treats. |

Re: oatmeal cookies what did I do wrong?
update.. SO I baked these again. Just for experimental purposes I did the exact same recipe except I used actual baking approved stevia.
They still didn't spread any so the shape they went into the over was pretty much how they came out. SO I do think the stevia may affect that (its the cup to cup kind so the fillers might account for that). it was this http://www6.netrition.com/pyure_stev...ble_blend.html the flour used was this http://www.pillsburybaking.com/produ...ree-flour-1553 regular brown sugar (only did 1/2 cup the rest was the stevia) However despite the shape these did come out light and crispy on the outside and soft chewy inside. Taste was 1000xs better.. Its still not idea not sure if I'll do another stevia batch I was trying to lower the sugar content a little but not sure it was worth the finial results. They were still a bit dry for my taste maybe I'm expecting too much though? Not sure if I'll try this particular recipe with all real sugars or not.

Re: oatmeal cookies what did I do wrong?
I've never looked at that brand but the other "cup for cup" stevia blends state on the label that, in baked goods, you can only replace half of the sugar. Pure stevia extract requires such a miniscule amount to add sweetness that they have to bulk up the cup-for-cup formulas, usually with some kind of fiber or sugar alcohol.
Regular sugar melts and contributes to the chemical reactions of baking, the fillers neither melt nor react with the fat and leavening in the same way. Baking with stevia is just a bust, IME. I even bought a stevia cookbook. Every single recipe has either date paste or some other concentrated form of fruit sugar as a main ingredient. If I wanted to bake with date paste, I'd bake with date paste, I wouldn't need stevia! |

Re: oatmeal cookies what did I do wrong?
If you really want to cut down on the sugar, why not make a cracker with the oatmeal flour and then just dust it with sugar on the top.
The chemistry is just not going to work without the sugar called for in the recipes. Sorry. Personally, I think it is probably healthier to do without than to use the cup for cup chemicals, but that is MHO. |

Re: oatmeal cookies what did I do wrong?
I meant no offense. I don't know if using the coconut sugar would work the same. It is lower on the glycemic scale. I would think next batch, cut down on it by 1/4 or 1/3 cup and see how that batch goes.
I would think a cracker just rolled in a dusting of sugar (similar to Mexican Wedding cookies) would work. Or add molasses, but it is going to take a lot of experimenting for the chemistry to workout. |

Re: oatmeal cookies what did I do wrong?
Coconut sugar can be substituted in equal amounts, as can sucanat.

Re: oatmeal cookies what did I do wrong?
success! I made some simple peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. I basically followed the suggested recipe on the back on a Pillsbury gluten free all purpose flour mix.. So not oatmeal but The only changes was it called for shortening and I used coconut oil. I used a combo of traditional brown sugar and pure cane sugar (yea for insulin pumps ). I alos let the dough chill before baking... They came out sooooo good they came out looking great not thin and spread out not weird and grainy just delicious.
So well dessert guess I just need to use sugar and then control how much I eat at once. Deanna
