This is a recipe I created out of a need for a healthy low fat, high fiber breakfast option. This cookie is not very sweet. You can add more sugar if desired. Makes a great breakfast with a piece of fruit. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups rolled oats (not quick) |
1 cup nonfat plain yogurt or 1 cup vanilla yogurt |
1 whole egg |
1 egg white |
1 cup applesauce |
1/4 cup light brown sugar |
1/4 cup honey |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour |
1/2 cup wheat bran |
1/2 cup white flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained |
2 carrots, grated |
1/2 cup raisins |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400.
2. In a bowl, combine oats and yogurt and set aside.
3. In a large bowl beat eggs, sugar, honey and applesauce.
4. Add flours, wheat bran, baking powder and baking soda. Mix until combined.
5. Add oatmeal and yogurt mixture and beat gently.
6. Fold in carrots, raisins and pineapple.
