Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies *Fair warning, these cookies are soft and chewy. If you like a crisper cookie, bake them a little longer.* Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. ½ C butter, softened ½ C. peanut butter 4 Tbsp. all-purpose powdered egg mix + ½ C. water (or 2 large eggs) 1 C brown sugar ½ C. granulated sugar 1 Tsp. vanilla extract ½ Tsp. salt 1 Tsp. baking soda 1 3/4 C. flour 1 box (10 packages) of Sally’s Dark Chocolate Oatmeal (or 3 C. rolled oats, ½ C. cocoa powder, ½ c. mini chocolate chips* and increase granulated sugar to 1 c.) With an electric mixer on medium speed (or by hand) cream together softened butter, peanut butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add vanilla, salt and baking soda and mix until combined. Add powdered egg mixture ½ at a time, beating after each addition until mixture is thoroughly combined. Add flour in 1/3-1/2 C. at a time, blending after each addition. By hand, stir in oatmeal cereal 1 cup at a time. Blend until oat mixture is just combined after each addition. *If not using cereal packages, combine cocoa, oats and chocolate chips in a separate bowl and mix together to distribute cocoa evenly throughout the oats, then add the oatmeal mixture to batter 1 cup at a time as above. Drop walnut size balls from spoon onto a greased or parchment paper lined baking sheet. The cookie balls should be about 2” apart. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 12-15 minutes, until cookies are golden around the edges. Remove pan from oven. Allow to cool for 1-2 minutes. Transfer cookies from baking sheet to wire cooling racks or paper towel and allow cookies to cool completely. Store in an airtight container. Repeat until all batter is baked. Makes approximately 36 cookies. A quick note on this recipe: I almost always use real butter for baked goods. You can substitute margarine or shortening if you want or need to. I also use real vanilla, but that can get expensive so imitation vanilla will work too. In this recipe, I used the powdered egg mix available on a fairly regular basis at the pantries, but real eggs are fine too. Since the oatmeal already had cocoa powder, chocolate chips and sugar in it and I don’t know how readily available the dark chocolate oatmeal is, I did provide an alternative using regular rolled oats, cocoa powder and plain sugar. Add the chocolate chips or leave them out. Maybe add peanut butter chips or both. Wouldn’t that be yummy! .

  • Oatmeal with Apples and Maple Syrup
    Oatmeal with Apples and Maple Syrup This easy, inventive hot-cereal recipe will be a new reason to rise and shine! Ingredients: 1 cup (250 ml) steel cut oats, rinsed 1 granny smith apple, peeled, diced 2 1/2 - 3 cups (625-750 ml) water 1 tbsp (15 ml) brown sugar 1/4 tsp (1.5 ml) cinnamon A dash of nutmeg A pinch of salt Maple syrup Milk Directions: 1. Combine all of the ingredients except the milk and maple syrup in the multi cooker pan and mix thoroughly. 2. Select the Porridge setting, close the lid and press Start. 3. To serve, place a scoop of oatmeal in a bowl, pour the milk over top, sweeten to taste with additional syrup or brown sugar. Makes 3-4 servings. Quick Tip: This recipe uses steel cut oats. Large flake rolled oats, quick oats and minute oats would not be recommended. Although steel cut oats require longer cooking times, it is the most natural form of this cereal retaining much more of its nutritional benefits. For the fast paced lifestyle when breakfast is a quick bite, use the Preset timer on the multi cooker. Let the machine do the work while you sleep and just set the timer for your breakfast time and enjoy freshly cooked hot oatmeal! A Few Other Ways: 1. Omit the apples and top with fresh sliced bananas, coconut milk and walnuts 2. Omit the apples and top with Greek yogurt and berries 3. Omit the apples and top with sliced peaches, almond milk and a sprinkle of cocoa powder 4.

  • 'Sourdough' Oatmeal Porridge
    "Sourdough# Oatmeal Porridge ! June 17, 2011 Bigfork’s Essential Stuff Newsletter -- Bringing People Together A Publication of the Essential Stuff Project, Bigfork, Montana ‘Sourdough’ Oatmeal Porridge by Catherine Haug for ESP (all photos by C. Haug) This porridge method is similar to my 'Sourdough' Pie Crust, which uses yogurt rather than sourdough starter to ferment the grain, since the leavening ability of sourdough starter is not wanted in a pie crust. A similar method can be applied to other baked goodies such as cakes, cookies, coffee cakes, and quick breads. And it can also be applied to cooked porridges. See my ESP post The Importance of Grinding your own Flour for explanation of why grain fermentation is so important for health. How to ferment oatmeal (or other grain) for porridge Opening a package of instant oatmeal is certainly much quicker, but is far from having the optimal nutritional value provided by old-fashioned porridge. So I make up a large batch, and store individual servings in the fridge or freezer. Reheating is easy in a steamer pot. Ingredients This recipe makes 6 servings, but you can easily modify it to make more (or fewer) servings. To ferment: • 2 cups rolled oats • 2 Tbsp plain, unsweetened yogurt (or buttermilk, kefir or lemon juice) • 2 cups warm water (105° - 110° F) To cook: • 1 - 1 ½ cups water • ½ tsp unrefined sea salt Equipment • Bowl • liquid measuring cup • heavy-bottomed saucepan, with lid. Good quality stainless steel or enameled steel (not aluminum), with an all-clad aluminum or a copper disc in the bottom for even heating.

  • Is Oatmeal Good for Diabetes? | Eatingwell Is Oatmeal Good for Diabetes?
    7/6/2020 Is Oatmeal Good for Diabetes? | EatingWell Is Oatmeal Good for Diabetes? e whole grain can help improve blood sugar control. Here's how to create the perfect bowl. Jessica Migala September 20, 2019 Pictured recipe: Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats Oatmeal is a classic breakfast—and if you have diabetes, there's no reason to hesitate before sitting down to a steaming bowl of oats in the morning. In fact, it's truly one of the best breakfasts for people with diabetes. Need some proof? A meta-analysis that analyzed 16 studies (including 14 controlled trials) on type 2 diabetes patients concluded that, compared to control groups, including oats in your diet helped reduce A1C, fasting blood glucose, and total and ("bad") LDL cholesterol levels in people with type 2 diabetes, per results published in the journal Nutrients in 2015. e healthy properties of oats are largely credited to a unique type of fiber, called beta-glucan, which slows digestion and boosts satiety. Oats also supply magnesium, a mineral the authors note plays a role in the metabolism of glucose and insulin. Read More: Best Healthy Low-Carb Foods to Eat (Grains Included) "One of the main focuses [in treating] diabetes and heart disease is to decrease inflammation. Oats (specifically oat bran and oatmeal) is a wholesome, high-fiber grain that has positive effects on not only lowering LDL cholesterol, but also decreasing blood sugar spikes—and thus inflammation—in the body," says Laura Cipullo, RD, a certified diabetes educator and author of Everyday Diabetes Meals: Cooking for One or Two.
