Cookie Dough Oatmeal Bake for ONE! Servings: 1 | Calories: Around 180 INGREDIENTS: 1/2 cup oats (50g) 1/4 tsp vanilla extract sweetener, such as 1 1/2 T maple syrup or 1 to 1 1/2 packs stevia (Omit if wanted!) 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (60g) (Or sub banana… it’s awesome this way!) 1/4 cup milk, creamer, juice, or water (I used 60g) 1/8 tsp salt Handful of chocolate chips (and a few for the top, too!) Optional: unless you like the taste of fat-free baking, add 1-2T oil, vegan butter, or nut butter (If oil, scale the milk back a little. If vegan butter, scale the salt back a little.) Optional: 1/4 to 1/2 tsp cinnamon (If you like cinnamon in chocolate chip cookies) PROCEDURE: Preheat oven to 380 degrees. Combine dry ingredients, then mix in wet. Pour into a small baking pan, loaf pan, or 1-cup ramekin (or, for mini boats, two 1/2-cup ramekins) Cook for 20 minutes, or more until it’s firm. Finally, set your oven to “high broil” for 3-5 more minutes (or simply just bake longer, but broiling gives it a nice crust). *Don’t forget to spray your ramekins first if you want your cakes to pop out.*
Its been a tough weekend. When you’re out and about, its so easy to forget about your goals and just go pick up a Burger. But I did it. I said no and I’m rather proud :) now I’m going to enjoy a nice veggie Burger and my little treat!
