Chocolate oatmeal cups

Sometimes a recipe doesn’t turn out the way you’d expect. I have this one for oatmeal cookies that’s always turned out much flatter than I’d like. Instead of putting them on a cookie sheet, I tried using a muffin sheet such that they might hold their shape a little better. Little did I know that they’d puff up and collapse, creating chocolate oatmeal cups. Fantastic.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup margarine
  • 1 cup dry sweetener
  • 1½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 “egg” (I’m using Ener-G)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ¼ cup cocoa
  • ½ cup flour

Method

  1. Like with all cookie recipes, mix the wet, sift together the dry, combine.
  2. Bake in a muffin tray at 350°F for 10 minutes.
  3. Let them cool down before putting them in the freezer for at least an hour.
  4. Fill with anything: jam, ice cream, peanut butter, etc.
