Mix all ingredients with just enough water together to form a thick paste like consistency. Form into round balls, the little ice cream scooper, and bake for approximately 12 minutes. Sprinkle a little splenda on top or the sweetener of your choice. yields abut 12 "cookies", 100 cal., 9 gr. protein, 11gr. carbs per cookie!

bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2002/10/29, 08:55 PM If you use the ingredients listed, the peanut butter has some(use natural peanut butter, good healthy fats), the oats have a couple grams. Provided your protein is fat free, that is all. A variation we did on this was to use something like vanilla Met Rx, one package, chopped walnuts in place of the raisins. Also pretty tasty, but I prefer the chocolate.(who doesn't!)

They are killer, and with no sweetner at all! You can lots of times find single packages of this stuff at GNC's or other supplement stores loose for $1.75 or so, from a broken box or something. One package made 16 "cookies". (the little ice cream scooper).I have to hide these things from myself. They are too good.

I used my chocolate protien and they are just delicious. Even my 11 yr old thinks there good! -------------- To change it, or to create it, simply train it!

After mixing, it turned out way to runny and I ended up turning it into a protein cake. How did it turn out? Well my dad eats anything and he didn't eat this! Neverless I ate all of it, can't let good protein go to waste! I'll try sticking to the recipe next time. -------------- -Adam \"Just think, you too could be like me...one day!\\"

I/my wife have done these many times and they are always great. The Myoplex double chocolate is pretty good, and if you are not on a diet of any type, try adding a 2-4 tbsp. of heavy cream in place of a bit of the water. Good gaining food! -------------- The one goal you will NEVER achieve is the one you never attempt.

asimmer Posts: 8,201 Joined: 2003/01/07	2003/04/09, 09:10 PM Sounds really good! I tried chocolate protein mixed into lowfat cottage cheese - i don't recommend it, but i choked it down. When i dieted for the last show i tried to make 'ice cream' by adding extra ice to the protein powder in the blender, it was a sad substitute, but enough that it kept me from running to DQ. -------------- Challenge + Consistency = Results

I have also added a teaspoon of baking powder to get them to rise better. Thanks BB1fit for sharing our recipe. You can also vary what you want as far as the raisins go. add nuts of your choice or even little dried fruit pieces. Asimmer there is a recipe for cheesecake made with cottage cheese and vanilla protein, I will see if I can find it. I am sure that BB1fit has a copy. I made that a thanksgiving and my daughter thought it was great. -------------- I will lift my own weight someday!!!!!

bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2003/04/11, 06:02 PM Old fashioned, Quaker or another store brand if they are cheaper. Hard to mess up oats! -------------- The one goal you will NEVER achieve is the one you never attempt.

I tried chocolate protein mixed into lowfat cottage cheese - i don't recommend it, but i choked it down. ============= Yeah, I did that once too. I thought to myself, "How bad could it be?" Well, it was pretty bad, but edible. I wouldn't recommend it either. -------------- "Don't follow leaders and watch your parking meters!" -- Bob Dylan
