    These sound GREAT! Do you know what kind of flour she is referring to? Will fresh ground work?
    Thanks!

    I’m sure it was just all-purpose white flour, but I wouldn’t see a problem with using wheat! Sarah

    They are fabulous (and kind of breakfasty) with cinnamon chips instead of chocolate chips!

    These are soooooo yummy – and, surely putting oats in something makes it healthy?….right?….. The children are making light work of making them disappear!
