This is a recipe that was adapted to be made with sugar substitutes. Being a diabetic, I find that this is a treat that satisfies the need for something sweet.

• 1 egg, or 2 egg whites
• 3 tablespoons skim milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 1/2 cup white flour (or whole wheat flour)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3 cups uncooked quick oats (I use Quaker brand)
• 1-2 cups raisins
• 1-2 cups shredded carrots or chopped apples

Directions:

Heat oven to 350?. Beat sugars and margarine together. Add applesauce, egg, milk and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda and cinnamon, then add mixture to wet ingredients. Mix well. Stir in oats, raisins, carrots (or apples). Spread into ungreased 9" x 13" pan. Bake 25-30 minutes.
