I figured I would try to make something a little different for breakfast. Something we could eat in a hurry before school. I was hesitant to tell the children these are called cookies since they would use this logical against me later. Mom, you've let us have cookies before so why not now? How could I win against that logic, right? So, I just told them to try them. My daughter first wanted to know why there are carrots in it. After some persuading, the kids tried them and liked them. Normally, I have to persuade my husband to try new recipes but he loves carrots so gladly took one. He really liked them. They are soft like a muffin. They are a nice change for breakfast. I used a food processor to grind the oats into a flour consistency.
