Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.

In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, brown sugar, Splenda, butter, applesauce, egg substitute, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly.

Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until smooth. Fold in oats and chopped M&M's.

Spoon batter onto the sheet in 6 evenly spaced mounds. Use the back of a spoon to spread and flatten into 3-inch circles.

Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a softie comes out clean, about 10 minutes.
