Big Breakfast Cookie

[BlueTuna]

I love these! It's basically one serve of oatmeal in a cookie format, but it tastes so decadent!

BIG BREAKFAST COOKIE

Serves 1

1/3 cup rolled oats
1 tablespoon sultanas (golden raisins), plumped in microwave
1/3 cup skim milk powder
¼ cup no added sugar applesauce
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon baking powder
sugar substitute equal to 2 teaspoons sugar

Preheat oven to 180ºC/350ºF. Line a cookie sheet with baking paper. Mix all ingredients together and spoon a large mound on cookie sheet. Bake for 15-20 min, until golden brown on edges.

You can, of course, substitute a tablespoon of any chopped dried fruit, or unsweetened coconut flakes, or chopped nuts for the sultanas. Walnuts or pecans would be good.

*adds skim milk powder to shopping list*

[Sarawithanh]

I wonder if you could somehow make these into a date turnover. I would be heaven then.

[Gazelle]

I am literally :drool: ing

[BlueTuna]

what about adding protein powder??

I was thinking about replacing the skim milk with protein powder, but pp tends to make baked goods really dry - it would probably ruin the texture. :yucky:

[lilbear]

how do you plump raisins in the microwave?

Not if you use soy. It cooks like flour.

[BlueTuna]

how do you plump raisins in the microwave?

Just put them in a heatproof jug with a little water, nuke them for a minute or so, then drain them. Makes them plump and juicy.

Aha! Thanks for the tip. :thumb:

[Courtney]

Thanks!

[Blondell]

Has anyone tried these, yet?

[lilbear]

I have and it's delicious. I've also made this using the recipe provided and adding in 1 heaping TB of peanut butter. Either way is really good.

WHat defines a "large amount" to make the nutrition info exact?

[BlueTuna]

What defines a "large amount" to make the nutrition info exact?

Who said "large amount"? :confused:

If you were referring to the "large mound" instruction in the recipe, the nutritional info is for the whole recipe - ie one large cookie. :)

[tsunamii]

Ok, I just made these with a modified recipe and they're very very good.

I subbed 3/4 of a scoop of vanilla whey protein powder for the powdered milk, and added 1/2 tsp of canola oil to help with the dryness. The only other thing I think would help is a little salt.

Otherwise, they're amazing and I think I've just solved my boring breakfast problem. Plus, they're surprisingly filling!

Thanks to the OP!

[Blondell]

I just tried it! This could get me in alot of trouble :sad:

:finger: AGAIN Blondell.

[Blondell]

:lol:

I told you guys I'm bieng good. I have a refeed tomorrow and I'll enjoy more then I can wait. ;)

[christie]

I just tried this thanks to Blondell :grumble:

It was awesome! I would even suggest making a bigger batch and cooking smaller cookies. I'm glad it's one serving and not more because I would have no doubt eaten it all.

I wonder if there is something you can sub for the skim milk powder besides protein powder. I wonder if you really even need it. hmmmm :unsure:

Here's what I did and they were delicious.... I used 1/2 scoop protein powder with 1/4 cup or so (maybe even a little less- I made 6X the recipe, so my quantities of everything were bigger), then added a 1/2 tsp of canola oil with the applesauce and they were to die for.

Also, it tastes a lot better if you add salt.

1/4C or so of what? And how much salt did ya put in?

[tsunamii]

1/4C or so of what? And how much salt did ya put in?

Haha! Sorry.

Of egg whites. I put in (for 6x the recipe) about 3/4 tsp of salt. You might want to taste the batter to make sure it's to your liking.

[christie]

I had this for breakfast this morning! :drool: This time I used about a 1/4c of skim milk powder and it turned out good.

[absolut_blonde]

Does anyone know how long these keep?

I wonder if they would freeze well...

[tsunamii]

i'd treat them like normal baked goods..... i'd imagine they'd get nasty after about a week without freezing (not that they'd last anywhere near that long with me).

i don't see why they wouldn't freeze well! just make sure you wrap them up so they don't stick together.

Ooh, good call on wrapping them up.

I think I might make this tonight. It'd make a great quick breakfast with a protein shake!

they're soooo good for breakfast. surprisingly filling. i just made a batch with pumpkin instead of applesauce and they're pretty darn good.

ok, i have to stop talking about these now.

happy baking ;)

[BlueTuna]

Re the freezing - they do freeze well, but they're better fresh. I make mine the day before and once it's cool, pop it in a box and store it in the fridge overnight. :drool:

[Inspired]

Tried it this morning.....:drool:

Will try with the pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice tomorrow! :drool: :drool:

[tsunamii]

why are we such food whores???? WHY????


:funny:

[Meadows]

I made these for the first time this weekend. YUM!! I think I could just eat this out of the bowl without baking.

I swapped the raisins with part of a ripe banana. Hubby thought I was making banana bread b/c it smelled soooo good.

Quick question, what will happen if I leave out the apple sauce? I'd like the banana flavor to come through a little more.

[Lynny]

I left out the applesauce too because I didn't have it on hand when I made it. Makes it a bit dry, but it still works :)

[PnW]

I made this with:

1/2 cup oats
1/2 scoop PP (used dymatize vanilla isopure)
1 eggwhite
20g blueberries
8g blanched nuts (chopped in the magic bullet)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons splenda
Couple of tablespoons of water

Mashed it all up then put in the oven and at about 15mins, it was nice & brown. It was pretty good :thumb:

Cals - 317
P: 26g
C: 37g
F: 7g

[straitshooter]

good grief these all sound insanely good!

[Lynny]

Irish- it is! BE CAREFUL THOUGH! It's addictive. :lol3:

[Meadows]

I made another one lastnight. I left the applesauce out, but it was still moist from the bananas and 1 Tbsp skim milk.

Really had a nice banana bread flavor. I am going to add some butter beads and maybe some chopped nuts. :drool:

you can use protein powder with this too- we have alot of these in our cookbook! (www.formerfatgirlfitness.com) There are recipes with protein powder, oats, raisins, goji berries too! There is a crunchy oatmeal raisin cookie that is as close to homeade as you can get!
