Banana bread donuts or bread 4sp

The points will depend upon which instant oats you use. I'm in Canada and when I was in the grocery store I picked up the quaker brown sugar and cinnamon instant oats for 4sp.

I made this in my donut/bagel pan today but they did stick even though I sprayed non stick so next time I think I will wait till they are cool to take them out or I may make it into muffins using the parchment paper liners I use. They still tasted great :) The original recipe made them into small individual banana breads but I don't have the mini containers and it also called to bake it for 40 minutes and I didn't want to wait that long.

Banana bread donuts or bread 4sp or 1sp each for the donuts. (put into the WW recipe builder)

• 1 packet of instant oats I chose brown sugar and cinnamon 4sp
• 1 egg
• 1 medium banana mashed
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• cinnamon to taste

I mashed the banana with a fork and added all the other ingredients.

I baked these in a 350 oven but may use 325 next time. Might help with the sticking. I baked them for 10 minutes. If making muffins I'd probably check at 15 minutes.

Gluten free banana oat waffles Simply Filling

A friend posted this recipe from MyFitnessPal and I just had to try it!
Thanks Victoria S

Gluten free banana oat waffles Simply Filling makes 4 waffles 1 waffle is 1 serving (will depend upon your waffle maker size)

2 cups of oats
1 cup of skim milk
1.5 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 banana
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
I used stevia as my sweetener but use whatever sweetener you like

I blend it all in my bullet blender.

Heat your waffle maker.
Spray with non stick.

Update: next time I'd use 1 egg and 2 egg whites and beat the egg whites until foamy and slowly stir them in to the batter. It would make them lighter and less chewy!

Chocolate banana quinoa hot cereal Simply Filling +0sp

Chocolate banana quinoa hot cereal Simply Filling + 0sp

1/4c uncooked quinoa
1/2c skim milk
1 cup water

sweetener to taste
banana chopped leave a few to put on the top
2 tsp unsweetened cocoa
3g hemp hearts 0sp  Optional
2g unsweetened cocao nibs 0sp Optional

Next time I'll cook it in my electric pressure cooker which would be quicker and stir in the egg white quickly when it's finished cooking. The heat will still cook it.

Put quinoa, skim milk, cocoa and water in a non stick pan.
Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.
Stirring continuously add in the egg whites. You won't taste them but it adds protein and a lot of creaminess.
Cook and stir until creamy usually 14-16 minutes.
Add in most of the banana and sweetener.
Put into a bowl and add the banana and hemp/nibs if using.
Let sit to cool a bit and thicken up.
Enjoy!

2 slices of Ezekiel bread or 3 slices light bread for simply filling or 2 slices of bread of your choice cut into cubes
1/4c egg substitute or 2 egg whites or 1 egg
2 Tbsp skim milk you may need more depending on the bread. You want it really wet but all the liquid soaked up in the bread cubes.
Sweetener I used 1 pkt
1 banana 3/4 mashed the other sliced thinly
50 mini semi sweet chocolate chips 1sp
pinch of sugar 0sp

Put the cubed bread into a bowl.
In another small bowl add egg subsitiute, skim milk, sweetener and the mashed banana. Mix and add to the bread cubes. Toss with a spoon till all the cubes are wet and the liquid has been absorbed. If too dry add another Tbsp of milk. Now add all but a couple of the banana slices and most of the chocolate chips leaving a few to sprinkle on top. Put into an oven proof dish. Put the extra banana slices and chocolate chips on top and sprinkle the sugar on top

I popped it in my toaster oven at 375 and cooked until starting to brown and crispy on top :) Sorry didn't look at the clock but around 25 minutes while I did other things. Time depends on what kind of bread you use the denser the bread it will take a little longer.
