Sil's Homemade Protein Cookies

  • Here is the basic recipe:

    1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal
    1/2 cup eggbeaters
    1/2 cup cottage cheese (I use fat free)
    2 Tbs soy protein powder (no carbs)
    1-2 tsp cinnamon (or more to taste)
    1/2 capful vanilla (or to taste)
    2-3 packets Equal (or equivalent of Splenda) to taste

    Mix all dry ingredients together. Then add remainder of ingredients to bowl and mix together. It will be like a thick cake batter consistency. Drop by spoonfuls onto hot skillet that has been sprayed with Butter flavor Pam by dividing into 7-8 cookies. Cook as you would a pancake: when bottom turns golden ,gently flip over to cook the other side.

    *other variations: add chopped apples to the mix or place a few blueberries onto each cookie while cooking (before you flip over). These are great warm, but also good cold.

    *You can add more eggbeaters to make pancakes, if you wish.

    * Omit the cinnamon and vanilla and add some natural coccoa powder.

    *I usually double or triple the batch and have them on hand for a quick meal.(usually eat 4 cookies for a meal)
