This was great! I used regular Peter Pan peanut butter because it was what I had and it tasted like a warm peanut butter oatmeal cookie. Next time I may try 1 Tbs peanut butter and sprinkle a few mini chocolate chips over it or add some cinnamon. It was very filling.
The oatmeal/banana shake was really good and filling. I think I'll try less peanut butter next time (like "B" suggests in her recipe), to help reduce the calories.
I made pumpkin muffins this morning - to welcome October. They were low-fat and low-enough calorie that I had two! :)
Pumpkin Muffins - 1 egg - 1/2 c skim milk - 1 15-oz can pumpkin - 1 1/2 c flour - 1/2 c sugar - 2 tsp baking powder - 1/4 tsp salt - cinnamon & spices to taste
beat egg & milk and mix in pumpkin add dry ingredients and mix scoop into 12 muffin cups (I used a bit of non-stick spray in a stoneware muffin pan) bake at 350 for about 25-30 minutes
makes 12 muffins each muffin has: 101 calories 0.4 g fat (0.1 g saturated fat, 0.2 g monounsaturated) 15.6 mg cholesterol 135 mg sodium 5 mg potassium 21.2 total carbs (1.9 g dietary fiber, 10.1 g sugar) 2.8 g protein 24.3% vitamin a 0.8% vitamin c 7.3% calcium 4.3% iron
K pulled a container of whipped topping out of the fridge and put that on his. Then everyone else did. So I looked it up. Turns out 1 Tbsp had only 13 calories and 1 g of fat, so I put a bit on my last bite. YUM! It tasted like pumpkin pie!
I made the breakfast shake 'A' mentioned last night. Not exactly as she mentioned, but this is what I included:
ReplyDelete1 c. skim milk
1 frozen banana*
1/2 c. oatmeal (uncooked)
2 T. peanut butter
Put all ingredients in a blender and blend.
*If using fresh bananas, add ice to thicken like a milkshake. (I slice ready-to-eat bananas into 1/2-3/4 inch slices, wrap in foil and freeze.)
So - how was it?!

ReplyDeleteHere's another smoothie:
ReplyDelete2 cups frozen strawberries
container of low fat yogurt
If too thick use some non fat milk or I use some diet soda
That sounds yum! :)

Oooh, the muffins sound yummy. I'm the only one at my house who likes pumpkin. I'll have to make some to share or freeze.
ReplyDeleteThey weren't overwhelmingly pumpkin-y. It's all about how you spice them!
