I love those Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies, but in addition to having Gluten and Dairy they aren't exactly healthy - So today I tried to Skinny-tize them!
I started with a recipe for Oatmeal Cookies - this recipe only made about 8 but you could easily double it for more cookies. I didn't end up using the Sugar Free Syrup but you could add some to the batter if you wanted more of a Maple/Molasses Flavor. I also decided to experiment with using a combination of Monk Fruit and Stevia sweeteners, but you could use all Stevia, or whatever you have on hand.
Recipe:
1/4 cup Pumpkin Puree - 20 cal
1 egg white - 17 cal
1/4 cup Oats - 90 cal
1/2 cup Oat Flour - 180 cal
1/4 cup Stevia
1/4 cup Monk Fruit
Cinnamon and Nutmeg to taste
= 307 for whole recipe - makes 8 cookies at 38 calories per cookie
1. Mix Pumpkin, sweeteners, and egg whites
2. Add Oats and Oat flour, and spices
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and refrigerate dough
4. Roll dough into 8 balls, then flatten on parchment paper covered cookie sheets (the cookies did not change shape while baking so make sure you get them in the shape/thickness you want)
5. Bake for 12 minutes at 350 degrees, remove from oven and let cool before removing from paper
I tried making my own Sugar-free marshmallow fluff for these but it did not turn out very tasty - so I would suggest just using store-bought Fluff or JetPuffed Marshmallow Fluff, which only has about 40 calories for 2 tablespoons.
The total calories for one Skinny-tized Oatmeal Creme Pie(using Fluff as Filling) is about 100 calories, versus a Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie which has 170 calories, and mine are also Gluten and Dairy Free!
