Trim Healthy Breakfast Sandwich

As you may know, I love recipes with oat fiber (read about what oat fiber is here, a recipe for oat fiber bread, strawberry shortcake and chocolate cake).  Today, I am going to share with you a great idea for a fabulous breakfast sandwich. But I won't tell anyone if you have this for lunch or dinner. :)  The idea to make the oat fiber bread into a waffle comes from my friend Stacy...who is absolutely brilliant if you ask me!

This is half of the sandwich.  I had already eaten the first half
when I got the idea to take a picture for this post.

I use the original oat fiber bread recipe and make it in a waffle iron.  One recipe fits my regular, round waffle iron perfectly. (Mine makes a 7" waffle).

While the waffle is cooking, I make a 2-egg omelet cooked in butter,  I add some cheese (use whatever you like. Today I used Romano. I've done this with cheddar and parmesan too.)  Then add a couple of very thin slices of deli ham.

Make your waffle sandwich (you can butter the waffle too if you like) and enjoy!

For an FP option, make an egg white omelet and either omit the cheese or keep it to a T. of parmesan or a light laughing cow cheese and use a slice of very lean meat.

And, YES...I eat the whole thing! :)

Oat Fiber Strawberry Shortcake

Oat fiber is one of my favorite "new" products that I have been introduced to since starting the Trim Healthy Mama way of eating.  Last week I shared an amazing oat fiber bread recipe from AnaStacia P. and this week I am sharing a sweet variation of that recipe which makes a nice strawberry shortcake.


Oat Fiber Strawberry Shortcake (FP)

1/4 cup oat fiber
a couple of pinches sea salt
3/4 tsp. glucomannan powder
1/2 tsp. baking powder
2-3 tsp. Truvia and a sprinkle of stevia extract (or make it with all stevia extract to taste)
1/3 cup egg whites
3 T. water
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix dry ingredients in  a dish, then add wet ingredients and mix well. Cook in microwave for about 1 minute 30 seconds until it's only slightly wet on top. You'll have to play with it as each microwave varies.If you prefer not to use a microwave, you can bake this in a 350° oven for 20-25 minutes or until done. Once it comes out I dump it out onto a clean kitchen towel to cool.

Meanwhile, (or if you are smarter than me you will do this ahead of time) cut up some strawberries and sprinkle with Truvia. Allowing the strawberries to sit a while will make them juicier and more sweet. To keep this FP be sure use no more than 1 cup of strawberries.

Cut up your shortcake pieces into cubes.  They remind me of a spongecake.

Finally, put it all together...and squirt a bit of fat free Reddi-wip on top (not too much though...a true serving size is ridiculously small.)

Oat Fiber Bread

Oat fiber is one of my favorite "new" products that I have been introduced to since starting the Trim Healthy Mama way of eating.  Oat fiber is amazing in that it has no calories, no fat and no net carbs!  A healthy mama's dream come true.  :)

The first recipe I ever tried is in the Trim Healthy Mama book and it's a sweet recipe for a muffin in a bowl.  What I want to share with you today is a recipe for an Oat Fiber Bread which is a creation of a creative lady on the Trim Healthy Mama board named AnaStacia, who gave me permission to post her recipe here.  (Thank you AnaStacia!)

Oat Fiber Bread (FP)

1/4 cup oat fiber
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. glucomannan powder
1/2 tsp. baking powder
small sprinkle of stevia extract (I've been using KAL)
1/3 cup egg whites
3 T. water

Cook in microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds (or longer) until it's only slightly wet on top.  (I like it pretty done.  You'll have to play with it as each microwave varies.  I think this one took more like 2 minutes to be done.  You might want to start at 1 minute and then add 15 seconds at a time until you find what works for you.

If you prefer not to use a microwave, you can bake this in a 350° oven for 20-25 minutes or until done.

I make this right in the container. I add all of the dry ingredients and stir them well with a mini-whipper. Then I add the wet ingredients and stir well.  It looks like this:

Once it comes out I dump it out on a kitchen towel to cool, then slice it in half.

Here's my FP lunch of 3 oz of chicken on the oat fiber bread. You could add a light laughing cow cheese if you wish..sometimes I do.  I also made the light tomato soup from the book.  A delicious, filling lunch.

Come back next week for a sweet version of this bread that makes a great strawberry shortcake.

What is Oat Fiber?

As a Trim Healthy Mama follower and FB moderator, one question that comes up frequently is about a product called oat fiber.  It is different from oatmeal, oat bran and oat flour.  I thought I'd do a short video and show a few pictures of the differences between them.

I forgot to add oat flour to this picture, but it is in the video.  

Here is my first ever video on this blog:

This is one of my favorite "new" products and I use it a lot.  In the Trim Healthy Mama book there is a recipe for a muffin in a bowl that is delicious.  Since the book came out, many ladies have come up with wonderful variations including an FP bread, FP strawberry shortcake and several different kinds of muffins and cakes.  This chocolate cake in particular is FABULOUS.

The oat fiber has no calories, no fat and no net carbs.

You can purchase oat fiber from Netrition or Honeyville.
