  • Author: Jill Harris
  • Prep Time: 5 Minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 Minutes
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 8 Biscuits 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Teaspoon psyllium husk
  • 1/4 Cup pistachios
  • 1/4 Cup sunflower seeds
  • 4 Tablespoon sugar free maple syrup
  • 2 Teaspoon flax seeds
  • 4 egg whites (58 grams)
  • 2 Cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 Cup sunflower seed butter
  • 1/2 Cup of pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 Teaspoon low sodium baking powder
  • 1/4 Cup chopped dried cherries

Instructions

  1. Preheat over to 350.
  2. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl (I did chop the cherries and pistachios).
  3. Add wet ingredients to dry bowl.
  4. On a silicone or parchment-lined baking sheet, make circle-shaped cookies (see notes).
  5. Bake for 13-15 minutes (ovens vary; check yours at 13 minutes).

Notes

Kindey Stone Notes: I love cookies, especially ones I enjoy eating—These are a perfect on-the-go breakfast option or a treat to enjoy with your coffee on a leisurely Sunday morning.

I used these round cookie cutters to help me make the dough into cookie form as I am not the best at it otherwise.

This recipe uses vanilla paste for extra flavor—this is safe to use. You can even add some spice to these as well. Maybe just a tad of cinnamon and/or ginger? Higher in oxalate, but portion not perfection.

Pro tip: Get some of these silicone baking mats so you don’t have to constantly buy parchment paper. Be sure to check the size, however, to make sure it will fit your baking sheet.

Personally, I love these non-sweetened tart cherries and this psyllium husk powder. But for the oats, you can use any you like. From quick oats to rolled oats to gluten-free oats, it makes no difference. I get whatever is on sale and call it a day.

And, of course, my NO sodium baking powder. Get that here.

Don’t worry about the calories in this breakfast biscuit. Many skip or eat low-calorie breakfast items and then overeat during the day or at night.

Keep your body well nourished with good fiber and protein at each meal, and enough calories so you don’t binge later on. I see this all the time in my practice. And btw, I don’t care if some of you skip breakfast if you’re not overeating later on in the day. Perfectly cool. You do you if it is working for you.

Lastly, I used egg whites instead of whole eggs and, sometimes, I’ll add 2/3 cup of shredded coconut. Yum.

You can also make these into smaller biscuits and just pop them in your mouth for a healthy snack throughout the day. AND, they freeze nicely.

Enjoy!

“The Kidney Stone Diet is far more than just a diet; this plan is life-altering!”

“The group calls will transform you physically and emotionally. Once you start this journey, your health naturally improves. I have lost a total of 40 pounds and have consistently kept it off. The group calls are such support; this is more like family than a zoom meeting to stay accountable. Jill is far more than a nurse; she is a life coach. Her platform is invaluable.”

Kim J. | Kidney Stone Prevention Course

“The best decision I’ve made has been to join this group.”

“I have been working on weight loss for many years. This group has kept me on track and has helped my continued success with my weight loss.”

Kate L. | Group Calls with Jill

“I have been following the Meal Plan for about 6 weeks and I feel amazing.”

“Eating healthy has also encouraged me to go to bed earlier, so I am also getting more sleep. Because of that, I have been able to get up before work and exercise! So yes, the positive effects are spilling over into all areas of a healthy lifestyle.”

Jerry T. | Meal Plan Subscriber

“I have been a part of the group calls with Jill for the last 14 months, and they are essential to being so successful with the Kidney Stone Diet Prevention Plan.”

Sarah B. | Group Calls with Jill

“These calls are the gold of this program!!”

“I can’t say enough about how Jill knows just the right questions to ask us or how she prods us to think about what is going on in our lives.”

Monica K. | Group Calls with Jill

“I took the course with Jill, and my second 24 hour urine was MUCH better than the first.”

“She gives very practical information, and it WORKS. I was totally overwhelmed at first. I got very poor diet information from my doctors. Jill made it easy for me to understand, and I took it one day at a time. I still watch her videos when I need a tune-up. Jill is the best, and she really cares about all of us. Take the course—it will help you!!!”
