With the Dukan Diet you need to have a daily intake of oatbran and there are a few of us who just can’t stomach the oatbran omelette.  After three days of trying hard to eat the oatbran omelette I went on the hunt for another recipe that would give me my oatbran intake for the day but be a little nicer than the omelette.  Here is one that I found and is a good alternative for breakfast to get your daily oatbran intake.

Cocoa Oatbarn Cereal

Ingredients:

• 2 tbspn oatbran
• 1 tsp cocoa powder (preferably low fat)
• 1 egg yolk
• a few drops of vanilla essence
• a few drops of coconut essence

Method:

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and then roll the mixture into small balls.  You should get around 12 small balls depending on the size of the balls.

Put them on a baking sheet and bake for around 15 to 20 minutes at 180 degrees celcius (356 degree Fahrenheit).

Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool a little.  Add skim milk and enjoy.

I won’t take the credit for this recipe, I did find it on another Dukan Diet website www.mamalifestyles.com I have changed the recipe a little as I didn’t have the wheatbran or almond essence that she has in her recipe, so I changed it a little to suit the ingredients I currently had.  As it turned out quite well with those ingredients I will stick to this recipe.
