Churros with Health One Meal Replacement

Molly, my Scottish Terrier and I are getting ready to head to Ashland, Oregon for an extended weekend. A yurt in Ashland will be our home-base as we head out to do some spelunking in the Oregon Caves, visit Jacksonville, Oregon with their wonderful pioneer museum and most of all spend some time in quiet retreat and reflection snuggling by the fire (yes, it will be chilly).  But, before I go, I wanted to leave you all with a new recipe to try. Churros made with Health One Meal Replacement!  These are so yummy!

p.s. I'll have pics of my travels to share next week.

Ingredients

2 Vanilla Meal Replacements
2 tablespoons Jiffy Pizza Mix
3 tablespoons Hot Water
1 teaspoon Flour
Splenda
Cinnamon
Butter Flavored Cooking Spray

Instructions

Add water a little at a time, stirring in between to make certain that the dough does not get too wet (you may need a little less or a little more water – just add it slowly).  The dough needs to be moist, but firm.






Cover dough and let set for 5 minutes – this allows the yeast in the mix to activate.


Sprinkle flour onto a cutting board or other smooth surface.  Knead the dough a few times in the flour.  The gluten in the flour helps the dough to become more elastic.  Chill the dough for 30 minutes.




Now - the challenging part.  The vanilla meal replacement has a much stickier consistency than the potato soup meal replacement.  So you will need to make certain that you have enough flour on the board and the rolling pin so that it does not stick.  Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.  The rectangle should be approximately 7x10 inches.

Spray the top of the dough with butter flavored cooking spray.


Sprinkle the dough with cinnamon and Splenda.  I premix the cinnamon and Splenda and keep a container of it available in the cupboard.








Roll the dough into a log. I had to use a knife in some places to separate the dough from where it stuck to the board.













Cut the log into two pieces, then cut each piece down the middle.










Twist each piece of the cut log and place on a baking sheet with parchment paper that has been sprayed with butter flavored cooking spray.









Spray tops of churros with butter flavored cooking spray and the sprinkle with premixed cinnamon and sugar.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

Enjoy!
