Topic: PUMPKIN ENERGY COOKIES

Pumpkin Energy Cookies

2 cups quick cooking oats

1 cup flour  (attention Bariatric friends! You could possibly use another cup of quick oats INSTEAD of this cup of flour…to make it Bariatric worthy:)  I’m going to try it that way next time I make it!

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground allspice (or pumpkin pie spice)

about 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup natural applesauce (Attention Bariatric friends! I would love for one of you to try this with light vanilla yogurt instead of applesauce.  It should work exactly the same way:)

1 cup brown sugar (Bariatric friends & those not wanting extra sugar:  try using Splenda Brown Sugar – 1/2 cup- OR Ideal Brown Sugar)

1 egg

1 (15 ounce) can solid-pack pumpkin (Libby’s, preferably!)

1 cup chopped walnuts

1/2 cup dark chocolate pieces  (Bariatric friends: use 1/2 cup toasted almonds)

2 Tablespoons ground flaxseed  (this is optional, but I love the taste!  Wheat germ might work just as well here, too!)


1.) In a bowl, combine the oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices, and salt. Stir and set aside.

2.) In a medium bowl, whisk the applesauce (or yogurt), and the brown sugar (or Splenda).  Add in the egg and pumpkin, mixing well.  Stir in the dry ingredients.  Then fold in the walnuts, dark chocolate (or almonds), and flaxseed.

3.) Refrigerate for 30 minutes, then bake at 350 for 10 – 12 minutes.  These were slightly soft, and even better the second day!  I kept the batter in the refrigerator, and am continuing to make more!

May all your cookies turn into oat and flaxseed-filled chunks-of-energy

Low Carb Cheesecake


1/4 cup boiling water
1 box sugar free gelatin
12-oz. low carb yogurt (same flavor as gelatin)
8-oz. fat free whipped cream
2 Tbsp. light cream cheese

Prepare gelatin per directions, wire whip yogurt in with gelatin until smooth. Blend in whipped cream and cream cheese. Place in optional crust and enjoy!


This is really simple and taste great. I didn't put mine in a crust. I made it in small dessert dishes and garnished with sliced strawberries. I also added a scoop of vanilla protein powder to up the protein , it came out great. I made it with Strawberry flavored gelatin and yogurt....yummy!

i find it hard to believe that you cant find recipes. i just googles "Sugar free candy recipes" and got a ton of hits.. take a look also get creative. if there is a recipe you used to use just swap out ingredients for things you can have now.

Topic: sugar free candies - HELP
I have always made candy for Christmas, but the last couple years I haven't because there are very few candy recipes out there for me, and the diabetics in my family.  I have searched several of the recipe websites with little luck, so if you guys could send me all the sugar free candy recipes you have I would be forever grateful!

Thank you,
Ami

Topic: RE: greek yogurt as... whipped cream??
If you line a strainer with a coffee filter and place plain Greek yogurt in it overnight (place in bowl in fridge and cover with wrap or foil) the next day discard liquid in bowl - you will end up with a thick cream cheese like consistency. Its called yogurt cheese. From there you can add anything you'd like, sugar vanilla etc. I have used it as frosting by adding sweetness.. My kids dont realize at all ! Or as sour cream when not adding anything. Or it can be used as a base for dips. Some times i make another container and blend it with herbs to eat with crackers. I also like to eat a scoop of it with half a banana and some ground flax seed in the morning. It's become a staple food in my fridge !
