Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies and Tasty Tuesday Linkup

My kids love cookies! These cookies were one of the steps I took to get my kids to actually like oatmeal and these days, I can hand them a bowl of oatmeal no problem. When I made this batch last night, the kids were going crazy asking for the cookies. Perhaps taking pictures in front of them while telling them they were actually for breakfast wasn't the nicest mommy move. I ended up caving and letting them have a couple each. Zeke even packed a few in his lunch.
This recipe is pretty flexible, so feel free to adjust the add-ins, type of milk, seasoning, etc.

makes 2 1/2 -3 dozen

Base Ingredients:
3 1/2 C oats (quick or rolled work, but I prefer a mix of both- the more rolled oats the runnier the batter will be)
1/2 C applesauce
1 C coconut milk
2 eggs
1/2 C honey
1/2 T baking powder
1 heaping tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt

Add-ins:
3/4 C raisins
3/4 dried cranberries

Preaheat oven to 350 F.
Mix base ingredients together until completely incorporated.
Stir in add-in ingredients.
Spoon heaping tablespoons onto parchment lined cookie sheet 1/2 inch apart.
Bake 12-15 minutes.
Allow to cool on pan.
Enjoy!
