Big Breakfast Cookie
Cooked up by Lori on Mar 24, 2008This recipe was submitted by Farmnwife! Thanks so much for submitting!! This looks yummy and like something the kiddos would enjoy:)
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 C Oil
1/2 C brown sugar
2 C Oats (rolled or quick)
1 egg beaten
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2/3 C milk
1 tsp vanilla
DIRECTIONS:
(hint)I usually sneak in 1/3 C wheat germ. Can also add raisins, chocolate chips, ect.
Mix together, pour into 9″ greased pie dish, cook for 30-35 min in 350 oven.
I make something similar that has a lot of nuts and dried fruit in it as well..and by nuts I mean the healthy ones - almonds, pecans, not the brazilian nut or cashews that are so high in fat! I use some oil, awesome fig preserve, honey or maple syrup -again since it is healthier than any kind of sugar. These I heat up to form a binding syrup for the rolled oats, nuts, sesame seeds, wheatgerm/ground flaxseed, sundried fruits - cranberries, apricots etc, and bake at 170 oven for about 40-45 mins. I usually keep some in my handbag for a quick snack in the office in the evenings

Great breakfast for on-the-go , but it would definitely need fruit and nuts to compete with commercial cereal bars.
A photo of the finished product for this recipe post woul help.

This breakfast cookie looks good, but there is no photo - that would definitely help.
I would put 1/3 cup Flax & Company into this instead of the 1/3 cup wheat germ. (This is a product that has flax, almonds, sunflower seeds and other nuts and seeds - adds protein and fiber - and it comes in coconut for some added flavor if you want - you can check it out at http://www.matildaskitchen.com) - it would be perfect in this recipe.

What Genius!!! I have a daughter that hates breakfast. This recipe is perfect to put “healthy” items in, but still have a little choc. chips or raisins to make it seem like it’s not really a breakfast item. Thanks a bunch. I would have loved a picture of the finished product, though.
