Breakfast Ideas - Phase 2 - Chocolate oatmeal

Hey guys,

I got this recipe from the Body For Life book. I absolutely love it, tastes just like no bake cookies. I'll write it as I make it, I use all SBD friendly ingredients.

1/4 cup steel cut oats
1 1/2 cup water
dash salt
1 packet sweet n low
1 scoop chocolate protein powder of your choice
1 Tb. natural peanut butter.

Make steel cut oats per package directions with the dash of salt. Stir in protein powder, peanut butter, and sweet n low and enjoy. I always have a large glass of skim milk with this. Hope you enjoy.

This sounds delicious!! I think I'm going to try it today. Thanks!! :)

could you use cocoa instead of the protein powder? thanks

Hey June,

I have never tried it, but I'm sure you could. Worth a shot if you don't like protein powder. Let me know how it turns out.:^:

Sounds really yummy. :)
I don't have the protein powder either - I'll be anxious to hear how they come out with cocoa...

the cocoa worked fine, i used hersey extra dark special cocoa, very nice chocolate taste without the guilt.
had this for sunday morning breakfast, very yummie.

Good to know June. How much cocoa did you use? I may try that myself.

oh.my.God. I am SO going to try this when I but my next container of protein powder because I was planning on getting chocolate this time :-)

~D~

:)

Does it make 1 big cookie or whats the serving?

you would not believe the people in my office that are going nuts over it...... thanks for the idea!

KO,

I haven't actually measured this once it's cooked, however, I think 1/4 cup dried steel cut oats makes about 3/4 to 1 cup cooked oatmeal.

I made these this afternoon and loved it!

I'm hoping it will be enough to keep me out of the Trick or Treat candy. ;)
