From THE HARKINS HOUSE INN BED & BREAKFAST

Prep Time:

20 minutes

Cooking Time:

10-12 minutes

Yield:

3 dozen

My dad is diabetic but also has a sweet tooth, which can be a problem, so I am always looking for ways to make something sweet for him that he can enjoy without guilt. Many guests staying with us have dietary limitations as well, so these are good to have on hand and they freeze well.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup chopped apples
  • 1/2 cup chopped dates
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup margarine
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 cup quick oats
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts

Directions

Boil first four ingredients for  3 minutes on low heat. Add margarine; cool slightly. Add remaining ingredients, mix well and refrigerate overnight, or at least five hours. Drop by spoonful on greased baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees 10-12 minutes or until brown.
