Question

Could anyone share their feelings on the apple oatmeal and the caramel mug cake? I’m thinking I really want to try them. thanks!  

Answer 1

Mug cake as a cookie! I’d not have m made it a full year without it

Comments

@duntson what did you add to your packet to make your cookie? I have been trying this lately

---

@apostles it’s 2 TBSP egg white 1 tsp canola oil 1 TBSP WF maple syrup and 1 TBSP vanilla premade drink. I also add shredded zucchini (you have to squeeze all the water out before hand) and cinnamon. Make 3-4 cookies. Bake 9-10 min at 350

@duntson this is a great idea! Thank you so much!

Answer 2

Caramel mug cake is one of my favorites!  

Answer 3

Prefer maple over apple oatmeal

Answer 4

They are both really good on there own and used in different recipes in Janeva’s cookbook.  

Answer 5

Love them and you can make different things with them.  

Answer 6

I LOVE THE MUG CAKE AND THE OATMEALS!  

Answer 7

I think the oatmeal’s are both pretty good. The mug cake is fine but I think it taste just like the chocolate chip pancake… And if you’re looking for a chocolatey taste it doesn’t have much chocolate

Answer 8

I like the caramel mug cake. Sometimes I just slightly nuke it so it’s like cookie dough.  

Answer 9

Good, but small portion.  

Answer 10

Carmel mug cake is great!  

Answer 11

Both are great if you use them to make recipe from Jeneva cookbook. As directed, they're both pretty awful.  

Answer 12

With the apple oatmeal i make muffins with Zucchini. The Carmel mud cake, I’m still debating on that one.  

Answer 13

I hate the oatmeal although it’s tolerable to me in recipes. The mug cake I really like alone, as protein balls and in making muffins etc

Answer 14

Don’t like the apple oatmeal I love the maple one. I like the mug cake just gotta make it right

Answer 15

I make a cookie (muffin) out of the oatmeal packet. I love the mug cake

Answer 16

Love both. I sometimes prefer to under cook mug cake, for a cookie dough consistency, but also like it as is (but never over cook since that’s when these things go super dry) and nice when I’m a plate topped with strawberry rhubarb compote or caramel “apples”

Answer 17

Love the oatmeal!  

Answer 18

I personally like the maple oatmeal, I add a bit of the IP maple syrup to it and it’s great. I love the caramel mug cake too.  

Answer 19

Not by its self but with something else is ok

Answer 20

Two of my Staples. I like to make a big batch of the caramel fried "apples" with cayote squash (recipe on of 39 in Janeva's cookbook) on Sunday's and then add a cup of those to my apple oatmeal each morning. Gets 2 cups of your veggies out of the way first thing in the morning and makes a huge bowl of oatmeal to get the day started off right.  Mug cake is great as is or make into cookie dough type balls.  

Comments

@fumed. Great idea for the chayote in the oatmeal. Thanks!  

Answer 21

Protein ball recipe somewhere for the both I think. I LOVE the carnal mug cake. I make with the water and put into the fridge or freezer and eat like raw cookie dough. I NEVER heat it up.  

Answer 22

I like both

Answer 23

Just started eating apple oatmeal, but I make protein balls with it. Yum

Answer 24

I love the caramel mug cake cold. I add about 2 tbsp water and chill it for a bit. It’s like chocolate chip cookie dough. :) The Apple oatmeal has a very fake apple taste me. Like apple candy.  

Answer 25

I like the apple oatmeal and I sprinkle it with cinnamon. I haven't tried the mug cake yet but plan to.  

Answer 26

I love the oatmeal. Haven’t tried the mug cake

Answer 27

Both are good. The mug cake was good from day one the oatmeal grew on me

Answer 28

I tried the oatmeal by itself and didn’t care for it. But I’m going to try the protein balls with it! Mug cake is one of my favs! I’ll eat it as is hot, or I will chill and eat as “cookie dough”. But I also like to make it into pancakes!  

Answer 29

I like the apple if I add cinnamon to it. And the mug cake is pretty good too

Answer 30

I make waffles out of the mug cake. I use the oatmeal in muffins.  

Answer 31

Apple Oatmeal is great, and is excellent for muffin recipes from Janeva's cook book. Caramel Mug cake is great when cooked per the packet. Good with a mug of coffee. Try pouring your one ounce/day of half & half on it if you aren't using it in your coffee. Some like Caramel Mug Cake just mixed up and doughy, not microwaved. You can also make dough balls in the freezer.  

Answer 32

Both are my favorites I add cinnamon to the oatmeal and to the mug cake!  

Answer 33

My favourites! Both oatmeal flavors and the mug cake.  

Answer 34

Those two are the best for baking staples in my opinion :)

Answer 35

I like them both.  

Answer 36

Mug cake is yum but both are fantastic as cookies or muffins

Comments

I definitely prefer both as muffins too!  

Answer 37

I love them both. Since it’s too sweet for me, I add IP salt sprinkle on it. Heaven

Answer 38

I had the apple oatmeal for breakfast this morning. Very good

Answer 39

I eat the apple oatmeal all the time. Even when I’m not on plan.  

Answer 40

Love the mug cake. Taste good raw too

Answer 41

The mug cake is my favorite!  

Answer 42

The mug cake was my daily breakfast for the last 2 months I was in phase 1 topped with walden farms choc syrup yummy!  

Answer 43

Both top sellers at our clinic  

Answer 44

Love both.  

Answer 45

I use the apple oatmeal as apple pancakes that are yummy. Almost every morning I make the caramel mug cake into two muffin tops from one of JNevas recipes. Also use them in the brownie recipe in her cookbook.  

Answer 46

I really like the apple oatmeal. I'm not certain if it would have the same appeal in warmer months, but fall/winter I enjoy it!  

Answer 47

I love the apple oatmeal.  

Answer 48

I love the oatmeal, but it's not super filling so I find ways to beef it up. With the maple brown sugar one I add a cup of cauliflower rice, cinnamon and a dash of vanilla flavoring. The apple cinnamon I add the Carmel fried apples made from chayote squash. That one blew my mind! It was so delicious and very filling!  

Answer 49

The real bottom line is that these things really need to be off your plate all together so please don't fret about a mug cake. there are sweet treats on the restricted list that need to replace this stuff.

@wilser9526 I’m not sure what you mean?

Many that go on IP get way too involved in the making of the food or turning something into something else. Yes, this is all a process but focus on what are the makings of a good reasonable diet and not trying to make Mac & Cheese healthy. I was a "sinner" and ate unlimited carbs until I developed diabetes. I have been able to reduce my carb intake to 30 gr. /day but I just stay away from trying to make cardboard taste like a favorite chocolate cake. I kept my eating on IP pretty boring but the weight came off in 4 months which gave me time to figure out what I needed to eat after the program. Just don't waste too much time trying to figure out this diet.  

Answer 50

The caramel mud cake is amazing!  

Answer 51

I use the Caramel Mug Cake and the Maple Oatmeal to make the Buzz Muffins in Janaeva's cookbook . amazing.
