Cinnamon Maple Oatmeal Cookies

CINNAMON MAPLE OATMEAL COOKIES

Recipe by Janeva Eickhoff

Ingredients:

• 1 Ideal Protein maple or apple oatmeal mix (dry)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp Splenda
• 1/8 tsp cinnamon
• 3 Tbsp liquid egg whites
• 2 tsp *coconut oil (or grapeseed or olive oil)
• ¼ tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 Tbsp water
• Cooking spray (I use Pam coconut cooking spray)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the dry ingredients.
3. Add the liquid ingredients; mix well with a spatula making sure to incorporate the coconut oil.
4. Drop 6 spoonfuls far apart onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
5. Spray the back of the spoon with cooking spray and spread each cookie to the thickness of a thin mint.
6. Bake 12 minutes. Cool on cooling rack.

Servings – 6 cookies = 1 unrestricted

TIP: When spreading the cookies with the back of the spoon, wipe clean from any batter and spray again for each cookie. This will make them much easier to spread.

* Some clinics allow members to use coconut oil occasionally because of the nutritional value some members desire. Please ok this through your own clinic if you have questions. If you substitute olive oil, they will not be as crispy on the outside and the texture will change. I highly recommend the coconut oil.

Toasted Marshmallow Brownie Brittle

This crispy Janeva Eickhoff recipe will help sate that dessert craving.

Ingredients:

• 1 Ideal Protein chocolate drink mix
• 1 Ideal Protein crispy cereal, crushed
• 2 tsp Splenda
• 2 pinches of baking powder
• 2 tsp. olive oil or grapeseed oil
• 3 Tbsp water
• 3 Tbsp sugar free Toasted Marshmallow coffee syrup (I use DaVinci’s, you can use any flavor you like)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients thoroughly.
3. Add the wet ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, stir just until mixed.
4. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spread batter very thin (about the same thickness as a wheat thin cracker) with a spatula sprayed with cooking spray (to prevent sticking.)
5. Bake 15 minutes, take out of the oven and cut in cracker size pieces with a pizza cutter; flip pieces over and bake another 3-5 minutes. TIP: the edges of your batter will cook faster, I take these out before placing the brownie brittle back in the oven and check the others every minute thereafter. Just watch the crackers closely because they will bake quickly and turn brown too fast.
6. Cool completely, they will get more crunchy as they cool. Serve with dip, recipe to follow.

COCONUT CREAM DIP:

Ingredients:

• 2 Tbsp Walden Farms Marshmallow Dip
• 2 tsp Ideal Protein vanilla pudding mix (dry)
• ½ tsp. coconut extract (you can use any extract you like, ie – banana, orange, peppermint, etc.)

Directions:

1. Mix together in a small bowl and serve with brownie brittle.

TIP: You WILL need the dip, the crackers are too dry without it, but perfect with it.

Servings: This recipe makes 2 IP unrestricted servings, make sure to count the extras in the batter and dip.

• 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp. water

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients in a standard size coffee mug; stir to mix.
2. Microwave 50 seconds, turn over onto a plate after baking. (You may need to run a knife around the edges of the cake to loosen from the mug, no need for cooking spray.)
