Chocolate Chip Cookie Oatmeal
"I created this recipe the other night when I was craving a chocolate chip oatmeal cookie. It could be served for breakfast, dessert, or a snack. My kids love it. It may not be as healthy as other versions of oatmeal, but it is much better than visiting the cookie jar when a craving hits. This recipe can easily be increased for multiple servings."

Fun twist on oatmeal! This was very enjoyable, and definitely was very reminiscent of oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips. Thanks for sharing! -
Very nice oatmeal! Made it with rolled millet and almond milk and halved the sweetener. I like especially the vanilla in it, which gives it a nice twist. Thanks for sharing! Made for Comfort Cafe Snowqueen's Round 2010. -
My mom loved this. I made it for her for breakfast before work and she said it tasted just like a oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. -
Everyone who tried this loved it! We have some doubts about whether it's really healthier than the cookies, which would have more sugar but also more protein. However, this is comfort and indulgence food, not health food, and it's delicious with a little twist of michief built in. Made for PickAChef, March 09. -
Oh man this is good! The brown sugar and vanilla really do make it taste like a chocolate chip cookie! I also added a sprinkling of chopped pecans. This is a great way to serve oatmeal - loved it - thanks for sharing your recipe! Made for the Comfort Cafe event, January 2009

I grew up on a farm in Southeast Iowa where I learned to garden, cook, and can with my mom. She always told me not to marry a farmer (kidding, of course), but I did in June 2007. Now I have a big garden on our farm and love to cook and can using fresh goodies from the garden. I work full-time, but enjoy helping out on the farm when I can and taking meals to the field to feed the guys during spring planting and fall harvest.
