Breakfast "Cookie"
http://mtblog.glamour.com/health-fitness/blogs/vitamin-g/0902-breakfast-cookie_vg.jpg
Not sure why this is called a cookie, its more like a very thick oatmeal but it is really tasty and easy. I've even made it the morning of and its still yummy! I'm always looking for different ideas for breakfast, especially ones that include protein.
Ingredients:
1/3 cup oats
1 tablespoon of nut butter (almond, peanut, whatever--pick your fave!)
A sprinkling of protein powder such as Designer Whey (note: this is optional)
1/8 cup of soy milk or milk (or almond milk or whatever you like)
1/2 cup of optional add ins (ideas: mashed bananas, canned pumpkin, apple sauce)
1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
Optional: A sprinkling of something sweet, like a little sugar, agave or honey (Gina uses stevia)
Preparation:
Mix all ingredients together, then put the "dough" on a plate and form into a flat, round shape. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. It will harden slightly from the nut butter and the oats will soften from the milk. In the morning, grab a spoon and enjoy!
Enjoy!
