Steel Cut Oats Breakfast Cookie

Makes 6  3”-4” cookies– 1 cookie per serving
Old Points Value 2
1 cup steel cut oatmeal
1 Packet WW Vanilla Smoothie dry mix (chocolate is good too)
1 tsp baking powder
Splenda and cinnamon to taste (I use ¼ cup Splenda/ 1 tsp. cinnamon)
1 Egg (or ¼ cup egg substitute)
1 tsp vanilla
2 small or 1 large ripe banana OR 4 oz. non-sweetened applesauce (I use applesauce)
 
 
Mix all dry ingredients. Beat ripe bananas in separate bowl.  Add egg and vanilla and beat until smooth (if using egg substitute & applesauce – no need to beat).  Add to dry mixture.  Add enough water to make a thick muffin-like consistency.  Drop by large tablespoon onto a baking sheet sprayed with Pam (I use the back of the spoon to spread it out).  Be sure to leave enough room between the cookies, as they will spread.  Bake at 325 for 15 minutes or longer until done – do not over-bake.  Wrap individually after they are cooled.  Freezes well.  Or they will stay well in the refrigerator – I put them in the toaster to warm them up.  
 
I double the recipe and make 12 at a time.

Approximately 3 points plus values per cookie.
