SKINNY OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
• Pull out 2 medium bowls, one for dry ingredients, one for wet.
• In one bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
• Melt the butter in the other bowl. You don't have to melt it all the way, if there are a couple lumps it's okay. Let cool slightly.
• Whisk in the vanilla, then the egg. Whisk in the honey.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and use a wooden spoon to stir until it has just come together (don't overdo it).
• Save out about half of the chocolate chips. Use a sharp knife to roughly chop the remaining chocolate, then fold it into the dough.
• Refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes, or freeze for about 15 minutes.
• Use your hands to shape the dough into roughly 15 cookies (or 12 if you eat a lot of dough like me...)
• Place on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-13 minutes, or until they have just started to brown on the edges.
• Once you remove them from the oven, immediately press the remaining chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies.
• Let cool on the pan for a few minutes before removing to a cooling rack.
• Drink with lots of milk!

• Portion out 2-tablespoon sized balls of dough, place onto the prepared baking sheet, and press down until 1/4-1/2 inch thick. Space them about an inch apart-they won't spread, so close is okay.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges. Let cool on the baking sheet and serve.
• These are best eaten on the day they are made, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for 3-5 days.

OATMEAL CAKE

Steps:

• In a saucepan, place the oats and the water and simmer 15 minutes to soften slightly. Allow to cool to room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter a 8-inch square cake pan.
• In a mixer fitted with a whip attachment, cream the butter until smooth. Add granulated sugar and mix until smooth and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix just until combined. Add the cooked oats and mix just until combined.
• In another bowl, mix the flour, oat bran, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Working in 3 batches, add the dry ingredients to the butter-oat mixture, alternating with the applesauce mixing just until combined after each addition. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake until a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out dry and almost clean (a few crumbs are fine), 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool completely. Turn cake out onto a square serving platter. Place strips of paper under the cake around all the edges.
• To make the frosting, in a mixing bowl with a whip attachment cream the cream cheese on medium to high speed until light and fluffy. Turn the mixer to low and mix in the powdered sugar and honey. Frost the cake on the sides with a thin layer of frosting then use the remaining to cover the top and swirl it decoratively. Using your hands, press the toasted chopped nuts onto the side of the cake to coat it. Remove the paper strips before serving. Cut into 2-inch square pieces.
• Notes about the recipe: This is a delicious hearty and healthful cake. The texture added by the cooked steel cut oats makes you thing there are nuts inside. I made it to help me use up ends of jars of oat bran in the freezer and steel cut outs in the cereal drawer after the hot cereal breakfast season was over for the year.
