cookie commando has entered the building!
Still trying to eat healthier I wanted something to nosh after dinner last night. I started getting the ingredients ready for my BreadMaker Rice Pudding, but really didn't want to use white rice. So I quickly closed up the butler's pantry and headed back to my cooking island.
These cookies took about 10 minutes to prepare and about the same to bake; not too shabby.
I just grabbed a bunch of ingredients that I figured should go well together and kept my fingers crossed.
Here are the secret details
No sodium
no chocolate
no baking soda
no artificial sweeteners
1 cookie is approximately 73 calories ( I actually did the calculating myself!!!) ---- insert proud moment here X
Yield: 16
Ingredients
1 cup oatmeal
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
Agave Syrup 1/3 c
cocoa powder
2 tbsp margarine ( I used lite) -- only 35 calories per tbsp.
i egg
1/4 c ground Flax Seed
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp peanut butter ( secret, secret ingredient)
Here's how I did it!
Heat oven to 375 Fcover baking sheet with parchment paper
*in a small bowl mix and blend all the ingredients .
Drop /scrape the oatmeal mixture onto sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes.
I used my toaster oven so the pan is smaller. |
*tip - I hold a knife in one hand and a soup spoon in the other and use them in combination to 'cut in' and blend these ingredients. It's works really well for me.
Note: these are not overly sweet. They are 'sweet enough' and I am trying to find a happy balance between taste and health. By all means add all the margarine, brown sugar and chocolate chips you want!!!
I'm really trying :)Enjoy
