The residents at my house have come to expect a big breakfast on Sunday mornings. The usual breakfast feast includes pancakes, eggs, or French toast. Sometimes, of course, I’ll try something new. This morning I decided to try my hand at giant oatmeal breakfast cookies.
Well, after mixing in some extras, the cookies turned into bars. They weren’t as sweet as I was anticipating them to be, which is a good thing. This recipe is a keeper and it’s versatile. Now that I have a basic mix, I’ll use some different add-ins to keep it interesting. When I’m feeling naughty, adding chocolate chips may be a good idea.
