Oats And Almonds Cookies..

Oatmeal and oat bran are significant sources of dietary fiber. This fiber contains a mixture of about half soluble and half insoluble fibers. One component of the soluble fibre found in oats is beta-glucans, a soluble fiber which has proven effective in lowering blood cholesterol. Here's how it works. Soluble fiber breaks down as it passes through the digestive tract, forming a gel that traps some substances related to cholesterol, such as cholesterol-rich bile acids. This entrapment reduces the absorption of cholesterol into the bloodstream. Oats and grains are also one of the best sources of compounds called tocotrienols. These are antioxidants which together with tocopherols form vitamin E. Source from Eat More Oats.

1 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup chopped almonds
1 egg, 1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
