Crumbs! Bariatric Biscuits!

January 21, 2011 4 Comments

These days you will rarely see me eating a biscuit or sweet treat, never mind the packet I used to be able to consume in one sitting, but I do get requests for recipes for them.  They also prove very popular at the growing number of  Support Groups that I attend or go to chat to.

It’s hard to come up with a cookie or biscuit recipe that isn’t high in sugar, fat and calories but this one, for a Peanut Cookie, scores well on paper and plate!

Ideal for bariatrics of course, but also bound to be popular with family and friends.

 

PEANUT COOKIES

Ingredients

75g Benecol light or other reduced-fat margarine

225g wholenut crunchy peanut butter

1 large egg

2 tbsp clear honey

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

25g granulated Splenda sweetener

200g plain flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

Method

1.  Preheat the oven to 180 C/gas mark 4. Line 2 large baking trays with non-stick parchment or easyglide.

2.  In a large bowl, whisk together the margarine with the peanut butter until well combined.

3.  Beat in the egg, honey, vanilla extract and Splenda.

4.  Sift the flour with the baking powder, add to the peanut mixture and beat until well combined.

5.  Take walnut-sized balls of the mixture and place on the baking trays, about 2 cm apart. Flatten slightly with the prongs of a fork.

6.  Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden and set. Cool on a wire rack until cold then store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

    I think this is one of those differences between cooking in US and across the pond. We measure in cups not grams. Do you know where I can go to translate your recipe’s?

    Hi Theresa, I am unsure of a very good source for gram and US cup measure translations. Thankfully, having worked in the US, I am able to do this. I think I will compile one myself to put on the site for my US visitors to use for existing recipes and look to providing both measures in future for all my new recipes, especially since I seem to be getting more visits from the US and in the near future may well be linkng up with a popular US bariatric website (more news to come!). Thanks for bringing this to my attention..I’m now onto it! Carol
