In honor of National Oatmeal Month, we want to know how YOU like to prepare YOUR Medifast oatmeal. Some like to add the Medifast Sugar-Free Syrup to sweeten it up a bit. Others transform it completely and make muffins! Read more for a great recipe!
One of the more creative, non-traditional ways we’ve heard of enjoying this traditional treat is to turn it into Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies. (Thanks to blogger Get Skinny, Be Happy for the recipe.) We’d love it if you share your favorite way to enjoy Medifast Oatmeal in the comments section below!
Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies
Serves 1. Counts as one Medifast Meal and two optional condiments.
1 Medifast Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal 1 Medifast Meal
1/4 tsp cinnamon 1/2 Condiment
1 packet Splenda sweetener 1 Condiment
1/3 cup water
1/8 tsp baking powder 1/4 Condiment
1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 Condiment
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 350°. First, mix all the dry ingredients together. Add water and vanilla extract. Stir until moist. Set aside for 5-10 minutes to allow ingredients to achieve appropriate consistency. Place spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet and bake for 10 – 15 minutes or until cookies have browned. Cookies tend to be soft. You may need to bake them longer, depending upon your personal preference.
