This recipe was inspired by a funny stevia commercial (link at the bottom if you\u2019re in the mood for a laugh). And while I could<\/em> call these sugar-free oatmeal cookies, the raisins and molasses contain natural sugar, so they\u2019re almost<\/em> sugar-free. There\u2019s no added table sugar, brown sugar, coconut sugar, or anything of the sort. The sweetness comes from your choice of Swerve, Lakanto Gold, Monk Fruit, Allulose or whatever sweetener you like!<\/p>\n

Alternative Sweeteners<\/h2>\n

No-Sugar Oatmeal Cookies are a reboot of a recipe from my archives that came from the back of a bag of a now-extinct product called Stevia Sun Crystals. Since Sun Crystals are no more, I reworked the recipe using other alternative sweeteners including Swerve, Lakanto Golden Monk Fruit in the Raw. They all worked beautifully! After trying those sweeteners, I just had to test allulose. As expected, allulose sweetened cookies tasted the best but had a softer texture.<\/p>\n

An Easy One Bowl Recipe<\/h2>\n

The recipe is very easy. Everything comes together in one bowl, starting with very soft butter, your sweetener of choice, a little molasses and some cinnamon. Add an egg, followed by vanilla, then mix in the baking soda, salt and spices. Flour, oats, raisins and nuts go in last. You can then scoop and bake, or scoop dough, cover and chill and bake as needed. With all of the testing, I now have a freezer of full of sugar-free oatmeal cookie dough.<\/p>\n

Splenda Stevia & Magic Baker<\/h2>\n

Here’s the link to the funny stevia commercial<\/a>. It’s for a stevia product made by Splenda. Splenda is traditionally associated with sucralose, but they\u2019ve expanded into stevia and other sweetening blends. In fact, my favorite baking sweetener of all time is Splenda\u2019s Magic Baker<\/em> <\/a>blend. I didn\u2019t have any to test with this recipe, but I\u2019m confident it would work perfectly here. <\/p>\n

No Sugar Oatmeal Cookies Baking Notes<\/h2>\n

So back to the cookies. Hopefully the recipe will work for everyone, but if not just let me know and we can make adjustments. Here are my notes so far.<\/p>\n
