Fiber One Cookies

 

Need a way to get more fibre in your diet AND eat cookies?

Have we got a deal for you.

Sue here...

I found these cookies that taste extremely chocolaty and yet have lots of fibre in them. That makes them a touch more healthy than your average chocolate cookie.

Jo gave them her they-don't-taste-like-they-are-healthy-but-are-delicious-and-chocolaty thumbs up.

I thought these were okay. As you may or may not know, I'm not a huge fan of the sweet stuff. I didn't find these overly sweet.

Just right.

I will say you will probably want to eat these within a day or two of making them though....after a couple of days the Fibre One crunchy bits get a little soft. They are still tasty but the texture changes.

 

 

Fiber One Cookie

(Slightly adapted from Betty Crocker)

 

Ingredients

1 box (1 lb 2.3 oz) Fudge Brownie Mix

2 cups Fiber One original bran cereal

1/3 cup water

1 egg

1 Tbsp vegetable oil

1 tsp vanilla  

2 Tbsp miniature semisweet chocolate chips

 

Directions

Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

In large bowl, mix ingredients together with a spoon until well combined.

Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart on cookie sheet.

Bake 10 to 12 minutes until set.

Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheet; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely.

 

It doesn't get much simpler than that. According to the Betty Crocker recipe the nutritional info is:

Calories - 70

Fat - 1

Carbs - 13

Fibre - 2

That is PER COOKIE.

Okay, not exactly the healthiest cookie available BUT they are delicious and they are a great way to get some more fibre in your diet. (AND, if you want to add even more fibre.....throw in a tablespoon of ground flax seed. It won't affect the flavor or texture but it will up the fibre content even more!)

The kids will never know!
