About This Dish:
I know that this is not a Japanese dish but as a female I had to share this extremely satisfying but healthy recipe for oatmeal cookies! This recipe uses absolutely no oil, no butter and barely any sugar, but it's a delicious sweet oatmeal cookie, perfect for my occasional mood swings. I make these cookies tiny, Japanese style, so please don't be surprised that I made 30 cookies with the batter. The size of my cookies are reflected in the photos below.

Why do I make them so tiny? Because research suggests that "smaller portion sizes are capable of providing similar feelings of satisfaction as larger ones, while larger portions result in increased food intake, smaller portions may make you feel equally satisfied" (Steakley, Stanford Medicine). 


What You Need:
(Makes 30 bite size cookies)
  • 100g of oatmeal of your choice (I used Quaker's lower sugar brown sugar & maple instant oatmeal as well as apple cinnamon, 3 packets)
  • 2 tbsp sugar (I only used 2 tbsp because the instant oatmeal packs are sweet already, if your oatmeal does not contain much sugar, I suggest adding 4 - 6 tbsp)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • (Optional) 2 tbsp raisins, be creative!

1. Beat the eggs and sugar together, then add the oatmeal. Leave it to soak for 30 minutes to an hour. Preheat your oven to 350F or 180C.

2. Add the chocolate chips and other ingredients you may want to pop in and start lining them up on an oven safe tray. My cookies were approximately 1 tsp of batter flattened out.

3. Bake the cookies for 15 minutes. Leave them to cool on a cake cooler. These are the size of my cookies! Not too small, right?
