I’ve made these cookies three times so far and they are great! I’ve not made them exactly as directed, because I found some Dorset Cereals muesli on closeout at my store and have been subbing 2 cups of that for the oats, bran flakes and add-ins. Thank you for this great little recipe!

I’ve done the similar recipe before and I also used virgin coconut oil (http://products.mercola.com/coconut-oil/) but I used almond as nuts. It tastes really good and my nieces loved it!

Hi Doris-
You know, the bran cereal flakes really look like flaky oats, not the more ground texture of your wheat bran. You can get any of these cereal flakes in the bulk section of a higher-end grocery store, but you know what? I’d give the wheat bran a try since you have it on hand. Worst case scenario: your cookies will be a little denser/heavier which, for these, isn’t always a bad thing. Let me know how they turn out!

Megan, before I make these I was wondering about the bran cereal flakes called for. I have a bag of Bob’s Red Mill Unprocessed Miller’s Wheat Bran in my fridge. Is this what you mean? I know you say cereal flakes, but because the amount is only 1/4 cup, I wasn’t sure. Thanks for the great sounding recipe! I can’t wait to make them.

As a kid, my mom told me over and over that I shouldn’t ever eat sugar in the morning. Because I would be hyperactive, clearly. So as an adult I’ve always had a hard time accepting anything sweet as a healthy breakfast. I think you’ve convinced me that it’s ok. I’ll have to break the sweet morning ice with these cookies!

This is my kind of cookie, it sounds so yummy. I’ve not yet tried Coconut Oil but have been hearing about it, so now I have a good reason to buy it. Thanks Megan for this recipe and the interesting news article. I always like reading your posts!
