You go girl!!!!

Love your mission

!!!!!!!!!!

Would love to put the sweetened condensed sub on brownies........talk about a double whammy!

As a kid I used to eat the SCM (Eagle Brand) right out of the can with a spoon. Shear Heaven!!!
I personally have to think low (really low) fat, and no soy and no high fructose corn syrup. Sounds like the sub would work, thanks to Kree and her recipe.

Remember when the recipe was popular where you made a plain cake then poked holes in it and poured Jell-O over it, then chilled it? Wounder if the same would work with the SC milk sub poured over the brownies OR would it just stay mushy because the SCM sub wouldn't set up? (I know some of you are say, "so who cares?, just eat it with a spoon instead of a fork".

My mission right now is to find a (really) low fat recipe for oatmeal date bars. Found one that was Weight Watchers (see below) but still uses to much fat for me. Any suggestions before I make a million batches that are so bad I have to throw them out to the birds?

How'd we get off on this subject?

This obviously needs to be on the recipe board not here.

Before IBS I was ready to turn my kitchen into a closet

Oatmeal-Date Bars
From Weight Watchers Magazine, January/February 1998

1 1/2 cups chopped dates
3/4 cup water
2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice (my thinking is this is a bit much for our IBS type tummies)
1/3 cup stick margarine, softened
2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup regular oats
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
nonstick cooking spray
1. Preheat oven to 375�F.

2. Combine dates, water, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes or until thick, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; set aside.

3. Cream margarine. Gradually add brown sugar, beating at medium speed of a mixer until light and fluffy. Add vanilla; beat well. Combine oats and next 3 ingredients; stir well. Add oat mixture to creamed mixture, stirring until mixture resembles coarse meal.

4. Press 2 cups oat mixture evenly into a 9-inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray; set remaining oat mixture aside. Bake at 375� for 20 minutes or until golden. Cool in pan on a wire rack. Cut into bars.

Yield: 16 bars (serving size: 1 bar).

Note: Store remaining bars into an airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days.
