I saw a random headline on the internet, “20% of Americans light up within an hour of waking up.” Of course this brings breakfast cookies to my mind.

The breakfast cookie is basically a loaded oatmeal raisin. Three 1 ounce cookies is about 500 calories of energy. I cut the dried fruits by hand. The processor makes a blob instead of morsels. Mix up the nuts and seeds too. They’ll improve the texture over just fruit.

  • 1/2 cup Walnuts, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Sunflower Seed, roasted

Sift together flour, soda, egg replacer, cinnamon, and salt.
Combine well with wet ingredients.
Stir in oats, fruit, seeds, and nuts. Mix well.

Notes

This is pretty much a whatever you've got cookie.
Any dried fruits, nuts, seeds, grains are all fair game.

There is a fine balance on this one, it will dry out if over baked.
Remember that it keeps cooking for a minute or so after coming out of the oven.
