Usually, when you see "no sugar added" on a box of cookies, it is pretty safe to assume that they've added an artificial sweetener. That is not the case with these fiber-tastic babies. They are sweetened only with apples...not apple juice concentrate (read: sugar). The result is a product that is very much unlike most commercial cookies. They are rather un-sweet, but that's a big part of their appeal for me. (I am a big fan of cinnamon, too, so that helps.)
The texture is decidedly "healthy", so if you are looking for a replacement for your beloved Oreos, this isn't it. If you are like me, however, and love fiber-y, bran-y things, then you'll love these. (Each one packs 5 grams of fiber in a 25 gram serving!) I haven't tried the plain "Whole Bran" variety, but I can definitely vouch for the Raisin Bran and the Apple Cinnamon.
