Question about flour

you could try ww pastry flour or there is a ww "white" flour available from several millers (king arthur perhaps being the most carried brand) that uses a different strain of wheat that when ground is lighter in color and flavor. You are correct that an all purpose flour would not be SB friendly, either bleached or unbleached. Also I'd probably stay with the rolled oats. I don't think the steel cut would work very well unless you precooked them partially or something like that.

Goldie, I am a diabetic and I make lots of recipes with whole wheat flours. I use Stoned Ground WW Pastry flour for cookies and cakes. I use regular WW Flour for pizza. The King Arthur "White" whole wheat flour is a good choice. Try your recipes using the WW flours, you might be surprised how good they turn out.

I agree with RedRox about the oatmeal. Steel cut will not work for an oatmeal cookie recipe. And I have made them before with whole wheat flour; they tasted great! Honestly, there wasn't even much of a noticable difference. You should be able to find whole wheat flour in any health food store if your local grocery store doesn't carry it for some reason (though most do, nowadays). Good luck and let us know how they turn out!
