Chocolate Coconut Cake

Chocolate Coconut Cake

Recipe from Stephen Santay

Ingredients:

2 maple and brown sugar oatmeals (2 Meals)

1 chocolate  pudding (1 Meal)

1 tbsp oil (3 Healthy Fats)

2 tbsp egg beaters (per NS you are allowed up to 2 oz of additional protein a day on occasion so I didn't count it)

1 tsp baking powder (2 Condiments)

1 tsp coconut extract (1 Condiment)

 3/4 to 1 cup water

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a dish with Pam cooking spray (I used 3 brownie trays that I sprayed lightly with Pam). Combine all ingredients in a medium sized bowl and mix until blended. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for  22 minutes. Make sure your cake is set by using a toothpick to test the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, then it is done. Flip cake onto a baking sheet (I lined the baking sheet with parchment paper). Bake other side for 10 mins or until edges are crispy and brown. You could make cream cheese frosting by mixing 3 tbsp of regular cream cheese and 1 packet of splenda for a total of 2 Healthy Fats and 1.33 Condiments per serving. Or you could you 3 tbsp reduced fat cream cheese with 1 packet of splenda for 1 Healthy Fat and 1.66 Condiments per serving. I just sprinkled 1 packet of splenda over the top of the cakes for a total of 1 Healthy Fat and 1.33 Condiments per serving. You could also experiment with Walden Farms Chocolate or Caramel Syrup! Enjoy!

1/4 c. shredded zucchini (squeeze out the liquid by rolling in paper towels and squeezing) (1/2 of 1 Green)
2 tbsp egg beaters
1.5 oz water
1 packet splenda ( I think I'll just use a pump of SF vanilla next time) (1 Condiment)

Directions:
Mix together and bake in whatever style you'd like. I did it on the waffle iron, super fast and yummy zucchini bread waffle. I think I'll try mini muffins next, or even as just a pancake.

Pancake Crepes, 3 Variations

These renditions were created by Sandy's Kitchen. She experimented with several different kinds. Here are just a few of them.

#1) Vanilla Ricotta Creme Crepes with Chocolate Sauce

Ingredients:

Chocolate Chip Pancake Mix (1 Meal)

Little more than 1/4 cup water

1/4 cup part skim ricotta cheese 2-3 grams fat/oz (1/4 Lean)

1/2 packet Splenda (1/2 Condiment)

1/8 tsp vanilla extract (1/8 Condiment)

1 tbsp Walden Farms Chocolate Syrup (1/2 Condiment)

Directions:

Combine chocolate chip pancake mix with water. The consistency should be a little thinner than pancake batter. Spray non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Pour batter into pan and cook until done. Set aside.

Combine ricotta cheese, Splenda, and vanilla extract until blended. Put mixture inside crepe. Drizzle 1 tbsp chocolate syrup over the top.

1 Meal with 1-1/8 Condiments and 1/4 Lean

The second one I made is basically the same recipe for the crepe, but different filling. If you like cream cheese, you will like this one. The fruit spread I used was grape, but my personal favorite from Walden Farms is strawberry. If you don't have fruit spread, use a 1/2 packet of Splenda for some added sweetness. It is still very good. You may not even want to microwave the cream cheese and fruit spread together, but I find it easier to spread when it is nice and soft. Voila! Breakfast is served! This is my second favorite crepe.

#2) Chocolate Chip Crepes with Cream Cheese Filling

Ingredients:

Chocolate Chip Pancake Mix (1 Meal)

A little more than 1/4 cup water

1 tbsp light cream cheese (1 Condiment)

1 tbsp Walden Farms fruit spread (1 Condiment)

or

1/2 packet Splenda (1/2 Condiment)

Directions:

Combine chocolate chip pancake mix with water. The consistency should be a little thinner than pancake batter. Spray non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Pour batter into pan and cook until done. Set aside.

Combine cream cheese and fruit spread or splenda until semi blended. Microwave for 15 seconds and stir until completely mixed. Put mixture inside crepe.

1 Meal and 2 Condiments for fruit spread and cream cheese

or

1 Meal and 1 1/2 Condiments for splenda and cream cheese


This is the third variation of what to put inside your pancake crepes. You can use any pudding you like whether it be banana, chocolate, or vanilla. I am trying to get rid of my vanilla pudding so I decided to put some PB2 in it. It tastes kind of like butterscotch. One other Medifast member called it Butterfingers pudding which it does kind of taste like it. Hmmm, maybe I should have added chocolate syrup so it would be like the candy bar! Another great reason for me to use my chocolate syrup! This counts as 2 meals, but you really aren't going to eat both meals at the same time because you will have some pudding left for later. Turned out tasty and did not even require many condiments! So which one is your favorite?

#3) Butterscotch Crepes with Caramel Sauce

Ingredients:

Pancake Mix (1 Meal)

A little more than 1/4 cup water

Vanilla Pudding (1 Meal)

1/2 cup water

1 tbsp PB2 (1/2 Snack)

1 tbsp Walden Farms Caramel Syrup (1/2 Condiment)

Directions:

Combine pudding with 1/2 cup water and 1 tbsp PB2 with a whisk until blended. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Combine pancake mix with water. The consistency should be a little thinner than pancake batter. Spray non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Pour batter into pan and cook until done. Set aside.

Spread 2-3 tbsp of  pudding in crepe and reserve the rest of the pudding for later. Drizzle 1 tbsp caramel syrup over the top.

1/8 tsp cinnamon (1/4 Condiment)

1 tbsp light cream cheese (1 Condiment)

Spray the pancake with ICBINB spray. In the same bowl you used to make the pancake batter, combine cream cheese and the rest of the splenda. Mix around with the little bit of batter that was left in the bowl. This adds a bit of the cinnamon mixture into the cream cheese. Spread on pancake.

Pancake Cinnamon Buns

Pancake Cinnamon Buns

Slightly adapted from Aimee aka Ladylyssa from Fan Girl's Diet Blog

Ingredients:

1 MF Pancake Mix (1 Meal)

1 packet Splenda (1 Condiment)

1/8 tsp Baking Powder (1/4 Condiment)

1/4 tsp Cinnamon (1/2 Condiment)

2 tbsp water

5 Sprays I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray (1/2 Healthy Fat)

Put all dry ingredients in a cereal bowl and mix thoroughly: Pancake, Splenda, baking powder, and cinnamon.

Put all wet ingredients in a teacup and mix thoroughly: water and vanilla

Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until wet. Will be the consistency of a cake or brownie batter. Try not to work the batter too much.

Spray a small microwavable bowl or mug with Pam. One of the Medifast Brownie dishes is good for this, too. Spoon the batter into the bowl/mug/dish, what-have-you, and dust the top with cinnamon.

Bake in the microwave for 50-60 seconds (I did it for 40 seconds). Pull out and spray the top with ICBINB spray. Eat and enjoy!

Really Good Maple Pancakes

This is my favorite way to eat Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal. I actually leave out the splenda and don't use the pancake syrup (doesn't really need it and it saves you 2 condiments)

Really Good Maple Pancakes

Ingredients:

1 MF Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal (1 meal)

1/4 tsp baking powder (1/2 condiment)

1 tablespoon egg beaters

1 packet splenda (1 condiment - optional)

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (1/2 condiment)

1/4 cup water

2 tablespoons Walden Farms pancake syrup (1 condiment) Optional

Directions:

Combine ingredients to form pancake batter. I actually used a little more water than 1just 1/4 cup because I thought the batter was too thick. Spray a non-stick skillet with Pam over medium-high heat. Pour pancake batter in pan. Brown on one side and then flip the pancake over to brown the other side.

Maple Rolls with Cheesecake Icing

This recipe does have two healthy fats which is the regular cream cheese, so you have to be careful what you decide to have for dinner. Fat free cream cheese isn't recommended because it has higher carbs than low fat cream cheese...and low fat cream cheese would be two additional condiments on top of the two condimentsalready in the recipe. That would bring it up to 4 condiments per meal (too many to stay on plan)! It is better to use the regular cream cheese as a healthy fat. Enjoy!

Maple Rolls with Cheesecake Icing

Slightly adapted from www.defragged.com

Ingredients:

3 packets of Medifast Maple and Brown Sugar Oatmeal (3 Meals)

3/4 tsp baking powder (1 1/2 Condiments)

1 tsp maple extract (1 Condiment)

1 packet Splenda (1 Condiment)

1 tsp vanilla extract (1 Condiment)

1/4 cup water added slowly

Directions:

Mix all dry ingredients and then add vanilla and water slowly. I used just over 1/4 cup of water. The dough should stick together but be not too dry or too wet.

Divide dough into 3 balls approximately the same size. Place on greased cookie sheet (non-fat cooking spray) and flatten so they are approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. I used three individual glass dishes such as Pyrex because the dough was too crumbly. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 15 minutes. Insert toothpick to determine if it is done. It should come out clean and the edges should be firm, but not too dry. Let cool. 

Cheesecake Icing

Ingredients:

3 oz regular cream cheese (6 Tbsp) (6 Healthy Fats)

1 packet Splenda, or to your taste (1 Condiment)

1/2 tsp lemon extract (1/2 Condiment)

Directions:

Cream mixture at high speed with a hand mixer until fluffy.

After Pumpkin Rolls cool, divide cream cheese batter equally on the top of the 3 Pumpkin Rolls. Keep refrigerated.

Yield: 3 Medifast Meals   Condiments per serving: 2   Healthy Fats: 2

Other Alternatives:

Strawberry Cheesecake: Replace maple extract with 1 tablespoon of Walden Farms Sugar Free Strawberry Syrup or Spread

Chocolate Cheesecake: Replace maple extract with 1 tablespoon of Walden Farms Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup or Dip

Pumpkin Cheesecake: Replace maple extract with 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.

Granola

Here is a great recipe for oatmeal, for those who are looking for something different. I found it through Sandy's Kitchen and here's what she shared:

"Here is one recipe I really like for a snack and allows me to use up my oatmeal. It didn't really get as crunchy as I would like but maybe next time I will try leaving it in the oven a bit longer and making it into smaller pieces. The taste was still good, but it reminded me of oatmeal cookie crumbs rather than granola.The original recipe actually called for two packets of splenda, but I think one works fine for me. I also only used 1/2 tsp of cinnamon rather than 1 tsp. I hate using all my condiments on a meal. I would rather save them for my lean and green. Hope you enjoy it!"

Granola

Ingredients:

1 package Medifast Oatmeal (1 Meal))

1 packet Splenda (1 Condiment)

1 tsp vanilla extract (1 Condiment)

1/2 tsp apple spice or pumpkin pie spice (1 Condiment)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine ingredients and add enough water to get the granola to stick together (I used about 3 - 4 tbsp). Then drop by tiny pieces onto a cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Separate if necessary. Bake about 8 minutes, turn and bake another 3 to 4 minutes. It should be brown and very crunchy when done.
