Since Melissa and I are pretty much food soul mates (other than meat), I trusted her recent post about a baked oatmeal “cookie”.  And in my usual fashion, I modified it. :)   It’s supposed to be a “snack”, but I added some extra calories and it ended up being the most filling breakfast I’ve had in a long time!

 

Peanut Butter Protein Breakfast Cookie (based on Melissa’s adaptation of Stuft Mama’s recipe)

  • 3 Tbsp oats
  • 1/4 cup peanut flour
  • 5 drops vanilla stevia
  • 1/8 tsp baking powder
  • 2-3 Tbsp milk
  • 3 Tbsp greek yogurt
  • pinch salt
  1. Preheat oven to 375.
  2. Combine dry ingredients, mixing well.
  3. Add milk and yogurt, stirring until evenly mixed.
  4. Spread in a thin layer in a greased oven safe dish and bake 10-15 minutes (or 7-10 on a convection setting).

I topped mine with cashew butter and sliced banana.  This kept me feeling full all the way until lunch, when normal oats leave me hungry by 10:30. 

I made a microwave version this morning (haven’t eaten it yet), but I hope it’s just as good!  This tasted like eating a soft peanut butter cookie for breakfast.

I came home to this beautiful loaf of Irish soda bread from my neighbor, which she gives us each year.  I’m sure there’s sugar in it.  I need to make a sugar free version ASAP.  Suggestions?

    I have actually never had Irish Soda bread, but I am dying to try it! I may have to add a little baking to my schedule for the weekend! :-)

      You absolutely should – it’s got a really distinct, sweet flavor – and it’s even better toasted!

    I made this irish soda bread yesterday (and ended up having to make TWO batches because it was SO good) http://www.elanaspantry.com/irish-soda-bread/ .. I substitute honey instead of the sugar she uses in this for a natural sweetener. Your protein breakfast cookie sounds amazing!

      That looks like a great recipe – I just can’t bring myself to use up so much of my almond flour at once! :)

      You seem to be leaning toward move savory dishes recently – loved your egg post!

    these look AMAZING sweetie! I really am so happy you shared them with us :) I wonder what I could use other than peanut flour? I don’t have

      People have success with PB2, or probably any time of protein powder – check the link to Stuft Mama’s original recipe for other suggestions. Your blog is adorable! :)

    Oh my goodness, this breakfast cookie looks amazing! I love peanut butter cookies, so naturally I love anything that tastes like them too! Peanut flour is truly a wonder ingredient; I usually just use it to spread/drizzle on top of things, but I should really start incorporating it into more recipes.

    I bet this would almost be dessert-worthy if you threw in a few chocolate chips (the sugar free ones, until Lent is over). :-)
