breakfast oatmeal cookie recipe

on the healthy side of things: (from Health magazine November 2008)

• 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/3 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup sugar or brown sugar
• 1/3 cup oil (canola or extra virgin or grape seed)
• 1/3 cup soy milk or water
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1. oven 350
2. dry in one bowl
3. wet in another bowl
4. stir to combine
5. bake 25 minutes

I use whole wheat flour, brown sugar, grape seed oil, water - you can also add tons of different things after you mix the dry & wet; like 1/2 banana cut up tiny, walnuts, chocolate chips, raisins....


I also add 1 Tbs ground flaxseed as well, and to make them chocolate I add 1/4 cup or so cocoa powder and sometimes I add coconut too. Other suggested additions: raisins and pinch cinnamon, dried blueberries w/ sugar sprinkled on top, 1/2 tsp orange extract & dried cranberries, slivered almonds & 1/2 tsp almond extract cup oat or whole wheat flour
