Oatmeal Cookies

I'm glad that you liked them, Dogma. I used some parchment paper on a cookie sheet and sprayed it with Pam. I also added a pinch of the instant sugar-free apple cider mix to mine...and Boy, howdy! They are mah-velous!

OK, cookies with a little sugar-free banana syrup instead of vanilla? Yummmmmmmm. All it needs is some toasted walnuts.

They are the Davinci syrups. Sugar free and they are great! Do a search for them and find a low price as they are somehting like $8 a bottle at the main website. I bought mine for $4.77 each online. You can also find them at a TJMaxx for $5.99 or other places like HiHealth for that price too. It all works out even if you have to pay for shipping.

I've just tried the recipe, and the chewy part didn't bother me at all! I added a little banana flavoring and voila!!--banana/ apple muffins (sort of!) Yummy

Hey! I tried some walnut flavoring in my Apple Oaties and I loved it!

With the apple bits in the cookies and the walnut flavor it feels like a real live oatmeal cookie rolling around in the mouth.

I edited and cutesied up the recipe a bit. Curesy makes baking time fun.

I think they are a bit too sweet,
particularly if you add any Sugar-Free syrups or Sugar-free Apple Cider Mix
and my preference is 1 packet of Splenda.

I added Pumpkin Pie spice and that was great and next time I

go to the grocery store, I'll look for Apple Pie Spice and try it.

The baking time may vary, depending upon how big around and how thick you make the cookies.

I use a baking stone and make four cookies. To avoid rubbery cookies, bake them 12+ minutes.

Makes ya feel like your cheatin' while you're thinnin'!

I love Medifast!!

The oatmeal cookies don't have to be cookies! I went out and bought a few of those little 2X4" rectangular baking tins, mixed up 3 batches of MF oatmeal cookie recipe, and poured into the baking tins - voila! I now have 3 oatmeal BARS to take to work this week for breakfast (I work 3 days/week)!

But you guys probably already knew you could do this. I just prefer the rectangular look of a bar instead of separate cookies. I even found a tiny ROUND baking dish in the Christmas Tree Shop here...hmmm, a round oatmeal bar....the possibilities are endless!

That is a totally impressive idea!

Love it!

How long did you bake the bar?

Sortta sounds like those little bananner breads or fruitcakes we bake at Christmas...hmmm now I wonder what we could do with bananner syrup and walnut syrup added to the oatmeal - maybe it would taste like bananner bread!

You are a creative one, Lisa in NY!

Hi Nancy,

I baked the oatmeal "bars" for 15 mins. - just like the cookies. I'm at work enjoying it now - delicious!

(I'm sure others would be able to add syrups, etc. and make them even better - I haven't gotten any of the syrups yet)

I am on maintenance so I can do this - Gentle Readers, if you are on the weight loss phase, you may NOT do this...yet...

You know how the French Vanilla Berry Oatmeal has about 8 - 10 freeze dried bueberries?

I'll add about 8-10 raisins or craisins to my Apple Cinnamon Oaty Bar ala Lisa in NY.

You Losers,

happy Maintenance Days are coming for you - if you do not lose

heart and give up!
You, too will be munching on an Oatmeal Cookie Bar and sippin' a cup of coffee at your desk.

Remember: Losers are winners.

Oh wow! Cookies. I would have never thought of THAT.

Ok, I just made these. They turned out perfect. Not runny at all. They are soooooo good!

Thanks so much for the recipe.

This diet is going to be a lot easier than I thought.

Okay, I am a big dork, but I had to post this in the hopes of saving someone from...okay, maybe I am the only one who would do this..

Here's the deal. I was trying to plan ahead and make a few baggies of oatmeal cookies. I did so, left the cookies in school. Came in the next day, shared some with a classroom helper and had one myself. They were really extra soft and chewy and tasted pretty good. A while later I picked up another one and turned it over. They were moldy

. That was why they were so chewy. So, the lesson here is: This stuff goes bad fast! Make and eat on same day or make it the night before and eat that next AM.
I thought since they were cooked they would last like regular cookies- yeah, not so much.

Awww....You're not a dork, Little Darlin'.

I have not made more than a double batch at a time and Terry scarfed his packet's worth up before I got the kitchen cleaned up!

Thank you for your heads-up! I appreciate you!
