This afternoon I was craving a comfort food kind of snack. But I’m trying to eat clean (and was all out of Oreos). So I threw together a few ingredients and came out with someone delicious – Instant Oatmeal Bites.
Instant Oatmeal Bites Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 package instant oatmeal
- 1 heaping Tb. peanut butter
- 2 Tb. egg whites
- dash salt & baking powder
I used this instant oatmeal, any flavor would work as long as it’s sweetened. Plain oats won’t work because there’s no added sugar.
Directions:
Heat PB in microwave for about 30 seconds or until easy to mix. Add oats, salt and baking soda. Mix. Add egg whites. (Use more if it’s too thick, but it should be fairly thick and easy to make a ball of the entire dough.)
You can see I made these twice since the bowl is already dirty. Ha!
Use 1/2 Tb. measure spoon to create small cookies on a microwave safe plate. Microwave for 1 minute or until set.
Enjoy!
Question: Do you have instant oats at home right now?
I feel like most of you do, just curious!
No. Only old fashioned! It’s much more economical than prepackaged. And we sweeten with honey 🙂
Sounds great did you use baking powder or baking soda to mix in?
powder. Did I write soda? I have to check 🙂
Yum! Yes, I have instant oatmeal at home right now, so I really want to make these! Is there a substitute for the egg whites?
I love it. You’re just like me and make super simple and quick recipes. Anything involving multiple bowls or cutting boards is just off limits.
Not only do I have it at home…but we have it at work! And we have a microwave! BOOM. I’m bringing in eggs tomorrow to make an afternoon treat.
🙂
I definitely prefer old fashioned because they’re thicker. I like that chewier texture. I’m weird.
Great idea and we have lots of nut butters and all different flavors of oatmeal. I shall make for my toddler!
I usually make similar cookies in the oven, but these seem so much easier and quicker!
