These are really good. I am on Weight Watchers and these are about 2 to 3 points depending on how large you slice them. I replaced the white sugar with splenda, and the eggs with egg beaters. I also used a low-fat butter substitute. Thank you for adding.

These are a very, healthy, flavorful bar with an interesting texture. They were especially good with a cup of tea. My choices were to use dried cranberries and apple butter, which added both fruity flavor and extra spiciness. While DH and I enjoyed these, our children did not. I had originally made these for lunchbox treats, but I will be making them for the freezer for DH and I use as a healthier breakfast-on-the-go or an afternoon pick-me-up with a cup of tea/coffee. Thanks Dancer^

Wouldn't call it a cookie, but rather a "flat muffin" or "breakfast bar". They were more cake-like than I expected. Delicious and healthy! I made mine extra healthy with 1/2 c whole wheat flour and 1/4 c honey instead of the white sugar. I also used 1/2 c rolled barley instead of rolled oats. I think next time I will cook at 325 for longer, to give the oats more time to soften. I also DOUBLED the cinn and nutmeg and added 1/4 t allspice--I always double my spices, plus I used applesauce which doesn't have the spices of some apple butters (but why would you waste yummy apple butter in a recipe?!) Thanks, Dancer, this one I can feel good about giving to my kids!

These are exceptional spicy bars with an enjoyable texture! They are nice and moist, but also chewy like oatmeal cookies. I halved the recipe and baked it in an 8”pan. I also decreased the sugar by about 1/4 for personal preference. I also doubled the cinnamon like one reviewer suggested. This made them even spicier, which was great, although I am sure they would be fine as is. I also used a mixture of dates and raisins for the dried fruit. These are delightful bars that are nutritious and nice and low in fat I will be making again. Thanks Dancer^!!
