Diet oatmeal cookies
Content
Today, many people care about their health and maintain their figure. Among the many different diets, the Dukan Diet stands out. It has earned love and recognition worldwide for its effectiveness and varied diet. The Dukan Diet is a true treat for those who love to cook.
Traditional strict diets prohibit any consumption of anything tasty, but according to Dukan, you can even eat homemade oatmeal cookies. The recipe is very simple and takes minimal time to prepare. It's perfect for breakfast or a snack between meals. You can adjust the recipe to suit your tastes and your current diet phase.
Ingredients
To prepare oatmeal cookies according to the Dukan diet you will need:
- 1 egg
- 1 pack of low-fat cottage cheese
- One tablespoon of oat bran
- A teaspoon of baking powder
- Sweetener
- Any confectionery spices: vanillin, cinnamon, cloves.
How to cook?
This recipe contains half the daily bran requirement for the Attack phase. To use the full amount, you can increase the amount of cottage cheese without changing the number of eggs.
To ensure the oatmeal cookies are tender and airy, the cottage cheese should be spreadable. If you're using cottage cheese, it's best to strain it through a fine sieve.
Separate the yolk and white. Beat the yolk with a small amount of sugar substitute dissolved in water. When it turns white, add the cottage cheese, spices, and bran, and mix until smooth.
Beat the egg whites in a separate bowl until they form voluminous, fluffy foam. Carefully fold the whites into the egg-curd mixture. Mix very carefully to avoid breaking the white foam. The recipe recommends using a wooden spatula rather than a mixer. When the batter is ready, add the baking powder.
Baking
During the Dukan Diet's Attack phase, oil is prohibited, so oatmeal cookies should be baked on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If time is short, you can spoon the dough into small circles and bake them in the oven.
To make the cookies look pretty, place the dough in a pastry bag or a large piping bag and squeeze out the dough into sticks, similar to ladyfingers, or into flowers, like kurabye.
Bake at a low temperature. You want the cookies to dry out, not over-bake. When the oatmeal cookies are a nice golden color, you can take them out and enjoy.
