I mix in a small food processor and add enough low-fat milk or water to make more like pancake batter. I also add 1 tablespoon of Splenda. I cook it in a preheated nonstick pan that has been brushed with a little butter. This really adds to the taste in my opinion. After placing batter in pan, I add a few blueberries, if I have them, and cook just like a pancake. This is less than 250 calories. I don’t add syrup, because I like it this way, and it’s great with my coffee. Lots of recipes for healthy oatmeal cookies that you make with applesauce, egg whites and splenda. Oatmeal doesn’t have to be eaten in a bowl. The absolute best about this meal, is that it gives me plenty of energy and I don’t feel hungry till the next meal. |
Now that sounds wonderful. Bet that would be filling, too. I plan to make that as soon as I get some new oatmeal, realized mine is old. Thanks for the good recipe. It does sound like that is something even I, in my present rebellious state, could enjoy just for itself and its oaty taste without anything sweet on it. I do have some potatoes, so maybe I will bake a potato for lunch. I eat mine quite plain, usually, with just a few grains of salt and fresh pepper and good old Land O' Lakes butter - but not much. I just love the plain potato taste so don't fancy it up too much unless am eating out. Then I'll add some goodies.
