Quaker oats cookies... my all time favorite! yum yum. gotta get up and start baking. it is so easy to make, add chopped nuts, raisins, chocolate chips or coconut for varieties.

I used to hate Quaker Oats as a kid, but recently I lost some weight and now need to eat foods that keep me fuller for longer. It was suggested that I tried Quaker Oats. I was a bit unsure that this is for me. I half expected it to be one of those things that I try once and the box then sits in the kitchen for ages until it goes in the bin. First thing to say is that I made it with skimmed milk and 4 splenda tables. (I need things to be a bit sweet). After I made it, it did not look how I expected. I thought it would look like a smooth porridge and its not, its more chunky than that and you can see the oats. It did not taste half bad. If I added a banana, the sweetners and a quarter of a tea spoon of Cinnamon its great.

30g of Quaker Oats, 190 ml of skimmed milk, 4 splenda tables, 1 small banana & and a 1/4 of a tea spoon of cinnamon = 305 cal, 5g fat, 56g carbs & 11g protein.(I am told you can make it with water and that reduces the cal down by 100. Not tried that yet maybe this morning) What I was most happy about was that I liked it and 4 hours later i was still not really hungry.

Absolutely delicious. Satisfying and good for you. Quaker Oats is a staple of my diet along with baked beans and provides a good amount of energy to start your day. I prefer these to the "instant" varieties because you can portion your own amount rather than being dictated on how much you should eat. It is also cheaper for the amount of the product you are actually buying. I recommend it with a cup of hot tea and some chocolate milk!
