Michelle posted about Sneaky Chef breakfast cookies that her kids gobble up so I was intrigued!!! Healthy food? Gobbled up? I must know more!
I did some surfing and found that the author of the Sneaky Chef posted her breakfast cookie recipe online, so I figured it was ok to post it here. Here's a link to her original article.
We'll be making these little gems today! Enjoy!
SNEAKY CHEF’S BREAKFAST COOKIES
Nutrition Highlights: whole grains, calcium, and protein. Rich in vitamins B and E, iron, potassium, folic acid, calcium, tryptophan protein, and fiber.
2 cups whole grain cereal flakes (such as Wheaties or Total)
3/4 cup Flour Blend (1/4 cup white flour, 1/4 cup whole wheat flour, and 1/4 cup wheat germ)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 large egg
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup canola oil
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
Cinnamon sugar for dusting*
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or spray with oil).
2. Using a rolling pin, gently crush the cereal (in a sealed plastic bag) into coarsely crushed flakes. Alternatively, you can quickly pulse the cereal in a food processor.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Flour Blend, crushed cereal, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. In another bowl, whisk together egg, sugar, oil, vanilla, and ricotta cheese. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix just enough to moisten dry ingredients. Drop single tablespoonfuls onto the baking sheets, leaving about an inch between cookies. Flatten cookies with the back of a fork and then sprinkle tops generously with cinnamon sugar (or just sugar if your kids don’t like the cinnamon flavor). Bake about 18 to 20 minutes, or until nicely browned and crispy around the edges.
Makes 16 to 18 large cookies. WW Points= 2 points per one ounce cookie
*Cinnamon has been found to help stabilize blood-glucose levels, thereby preventing the usual “crash and burn” feeling we all get after eating sweets.

I've been looking for a good cookie like this. The ricotta cheese sounds interesting. I hope you post what you think about it.
I'm so glad you tracked down the recipe! You are going to love them!!!! And, the rest of the cookbook is really fabulous. We make the meatloaf (which hides spinach, broccoli and peas in it -- you'd never know) and a few other recipes that are so tasty. I use this cookbook all the time and find I like the recipes a lot more than Deceptively Delicious.
I've made these cookies before and they're not bad but they weren't a favorite in our house and I haven't tried them a second time. I could see where some kids would love them, though. I'd definitely give them a try!
I've made quite a few things out of the Sneaky Chef book and we've loved most of them! The chocolate chip cookies are super! :)
Missin' you!! I hope you are ok and are gonna blog more, I look forward to your new food of the day....
An idea...
My oven broke, I have no oven. I love my oven. You get the idea?...
I need good dinner/dessert ideas that I can do without an oven....
Up for the task?
