The first batch was baked and they were okay. They tasted better if I ate it as soon as it came of the oven and topped it with a huge glob of peanut butter. Once they sat or were reheated they turned into a substance comparable to paste though. The second recipe seriously lacked flavor and I don't care how healthy it is for me, if it tastes blah I am not eating it. The third, forth, and fifth recipes all lacked luster, flavor, and an enjoyable texture. There were little things I liked about each so after 5 failed attempts I started to experiment with my own recipe.
I start with 2 cups of old-fashioned oats, 1 cup of unsweetened organic applesauce, 1 1/2 cups of water, 1 tablespoon of ground flax seed, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg. After I mix those ingredients together the recipe changes each week. This week we added in dried cranberries and dark chocolate chips but some of our other favorites are blueberries and strawberries, blueberries and cranberries, and cranberries and pears.
