Fat-Burning Chocolate Chip Cookies

21 August 2010 11 Comments

Now lets be honest, these cookies don’t actually blast fat off thighs or eliminate the need for that afternoon run, but they do help sustain blood sugar levels which help us fight the urge to over consume at our next meal or load up on bad carbs and fat! Every mom and Grandma should have this recipe around for those little ones who are always willing to have a cookie. (Best Eaten: as a morning or pre-workout snack)

1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
2 cups whey protein powder
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 ½ cups low-fat small-curd cottage cheese
½ cup honey
¼ cup canola oil
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup rolled oats
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips (optional)
½ cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Combine first 4 ingredients in a large bowl and blend with a fork.
3. In a separate bowl, combine next 5 ingredients and whisk
together with a fork, or use an electric mixer or food processor.
4. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix with a fork. Mix in oats,
chocolate chips and walnuts.
5. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto an oiled or parchment-paper lined
baking sheet. Bake 12 minutes until the cookies are slightly
brown on top.

Staying slim requires eating satisfying snacks that keep hunger away. Key ingredients in these cookies include: Cinnamon to keep your blood sugar in check, slow-digesting protein from cottage cheese paired with faster-digesting whey protein powder to steadily suppress appetite, whole wheat flour for energy-revving B vitamins, oats for their anti-inflammatory polyphenols and beta-glucan, which along with healthy fats from walnuts promote a feeling of fullness that subdues cravings. We all crave sweets, so the way I look at it is, why not put something in our bodies that will actually do some good!

Thanks to Amber of RiversMom.com for sharing this great recipe.

Thanks for a wonderful healthy recipe for my favorite cookies. I have tried many times to make healthy cookies w/ proper protein, carbs and fat and had zero luck. Glad Amber shared this recipe. I will copy this and make them for my Fall hunting trips.
Cheers!

I’m glad I found your blog. I’m brand new with Team Beachbody and I’m looking

to network with as many coaches as possible.I found this site from my upline

coach at Team Beachbody the guy

who runs that site recruited over 100 coaches his first month. Him and his

wife took the top spot with the chairmans challenge that Beachbody was putting

on and Carl is flying to their home to interview them.He is allowing a few

people outside of his team to use his system and it is awesome. I got the

system and ad co-op and recruited 3 new coaches my first week. I also

recruited my sister but I don’t think she is going to do much.

I am always looking for something I can eat that’s sweet and yummy. My mother was kind enough to pass on the tendency toward diabetes to me…she gave me great skin too so it’s not all bad. I have a huge sweet tooth but have to be careful because I’m borderline diabetic now. I am so going to try to make these cookies. I don’t even cook lol. I’ll figure it out.
