Mary Lou's Oat Muffin in a Mug



Here is a yummy oat muffin /cake in a mug that my coach Mary Lou suggested.
Here is what you need!
1/4 of quick oats
1/2 container of unsweetened apple sauce
1 tbsp of unsweetened vanilla almond milk or plain
1 egg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp of baking powder
dash of salt
2 tsp of brown sugar substitute I used Lakanto Golden
13 lily chocolate chips
mix everything in your mug that you sprayed with nonstick spray.
Cook in your microwave for about 3 mins or a tad less.
This whole mug is only 2 smart points.
You can change it up by adding 1/3 cup oats and the whole apple sauce and it would come out to 3 smart points. Or you can use an oatmeal packet that is flavored instead of the quick oats you just need to adjust the points to what they are for the packet and some packets have the sweetener and cinnamon already, Just be aware and adjust.

Pink Party Dip / Beet Hummus

This is how  I  made Beet Hummus 4 sp for the whole recipe.

1 can of chickpeas drained and rinsed
2 cloves of garlic chopped ( you should roast first so you don't have a heavy garlic flavor or use powder)
5 roasted beets or you can use canned ( 1 extra  beet for garnish)
1 tbsp EVOO
1/2 cup of non-fat Greek yogurt
salt and pepper
Place everything in the food processor and get to the consistency that you like, smooth is best.  Taste for more salt and pepper. Place extra chopped beets on top for garnish and heck they taste great.
The only thing you count is the EVOO and that is 4 smart points. So depending on your portion you don't have to count it unless you have a substantial amount. Enjoy

Cold Brew Coffee Smoothie

My Cold Brew Coffee Smoothie Recipe

2 SP if you don't count blended fruit and 4 SP if you do.
First, we need to make our homemade cold brew: Place 4 cups of cold fresh water in a container and add 1 and 1/3 cups of coffee grinds of your choice. Mix well and place in the refrigerator for 24 hours. After 24 hours place a filter or paper towels in a fine strainer and strain coffee.  You should strain twice. Your cold brew is ready. Place in a container and it should last about a week. To make your smoothie place 1/3 cup of your cold brew in your blender add 2/3 cup of milk of choice( I used unsweetened almond milk for 1 point) 1/2 of a regular sized banana frozen( 2 smart points). 2 Tbsp of rolled oats( 1 smart point) 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp of special dark cocoa, 1 packet of Splenda and some ice. Blend until smooth and enjoy. You can change up the flavors to your taste. I don't usually count that amount of almond milk but it does come up as 1 point.  You could also top with FF redi whip or Skinny Girl coffee foam!

Cannoli Stuffed French Toast WW Style

Here is my take on Cannoli Stuffed French
Toast inspired by Hungry Girl
3 eggs, 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp cinnamon.  Combine all those ingredients. ( you will have more then you need for one  serving) . 2 Slices of 647 bread. 1/2 tbsp light butter( 1 sp)  Place your 1/2 tbsp butter in your pan and let it get nice and bubbly. Dip your bread in your egg mixture and cook in your hot pan. In the meantime mix your filling.3 tbsp of FF ricotta cheese(1 sp) , 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, 2 packets of Splenda, and a dash of cinnamon.  I measured out 13 lily chocolate chips. Assemble your plate, Place one of the french toast pieces and add 1/2 of you filling mixture and half your chips. Top with remaining french toast and filling and chips. I dusted with Swerve sugar-free powdered sugar( zero). I also added 2 of the Jones Chicken breakfast sausages (1 sp)
It was filling and so delicious!  5 Freestyle smart point for my whole plate!

Broffle It's a brownie It's a waffle... its both!

Here it is .... When the brownie became the broffle!
Makes 2 mini waffles
I use Pillsbury Sugar-Free Brownie Mix
Measure 29 grams of the mix on your food scale and place in a small mixing bowl. I added 1 medium egg and 1 TBSP of pure pumpkin and 1/2 tsp of baking powder. Mix and add 1/2 of the mixture to your dash waffle iron and cook until the doneness you like. Remove and use the rest of the batter. You should get 2 mini waffles.
You can top as you like. It makes 2 mini waffles at 3 sp for both or 1 sp for one. I topped mine with 1 serving of pb2 and the other with a tbsp of ice cream. I also topped with fat-free redi whip! Adjust your point when you add your topping of choice.
