Thank you so much I really loved the recipe. I added more cinnamon and I put crushed pistachios and honey . And added raisin to a small half for the kids . And they said its not to bad. We ate it with yogurt.
I can’t wait to try the crushed pistachio idea! Yum!
I have been making these for quite a few years. I normally double or triple the recipe and freeze them so I always have a batch. I alway use raisins and sometime will put some mini chips in part of the batch. They freeze well and are yummy.
So happy you love these breakfast cookies Susan!
Wanted to give it a 5 star
Very healthy! I added chopped walnuts and dry apricots.
That sounds like some yummy additions
Love these. Keep them around all the time especially for eating on the run. I add pecan pieces that I roast and salt and raisins. There not right for everyone (hubby) but my kids, grandkids really like them. Thanks for this so simple and delicious recipe. Do you freeze these and how long can they last frozen?
I haven’t tried freezing this yet Barbara. Let us know if you do and how they hold up 🙂
