You need 1 ingredient. The key ingredients include: ["1 cup extra-lite olive oil", "1.5 cups sugar", "4 oz. milk [ THIS is an excellent thickening ingredient. I use powdered milk BUT its made with warmed and filtered water AND is double strength. NO cholesterol, NO fat. It is a fine substitute for eggs in most things I bake. ]", "1 tsp. vanilla [ I use a very high quality REAL vanilla but the normal store bought vanilla mixed half and half with an artificial one works too. ]", "1.5 cups of flour [ Just plain, none of that whole wheat stuff, though you CAN add a tsp. of wheat bran to many recipes for the same effect, IMHO, and its LOTS cheaper. ]", "1 tsp. baking soda", "1 tsp. ground cinnamon [ I use a very high quality cinnamon but if you use store brands, you might add 1/2 tsp. more, depending on YOUR taste. ]", "1 tsp. salt [ Plain, not the one with Iodine tastes MUCH better. ]", "3 cups oatmeal { I use the old style, not the ""quick"" kind. It actually has more healthy ingredients. }", "1- 1 1/3 cups of raisens [ I use a store brand, rinsed well and soaked for a while in filtered water. Then I drain them well. You can do this soaking in most any liquid, like you could experiment with Southern Comfort etc... Do NOT throw away the Southern Comfort. ]"].
