I found this recipe in a baby magazine several years when my oldest was a newborn (and I had time to read magazines!). I have altered it and made it my own since. This is a yummy and healthy snack for kids or can even substitute for a breakfast bar on your way out the door on 'one of those mornings'. I hope you enjoy. :)
Oatmeal Squash Cookies
Ingredients:
1/2 c soft butter
1 c brown sugar
1/4 c granulated sugar
1 c pureed squash or pumpkin (choose your favorite - a friend even used sweet potatoes!)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 c all purpose flour
1/2 whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
3 c rolled oats
1/2 c raisins
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350F. Cream butter and sugars. Add squash, eggs and vanilla; beat. Slowly add dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated. Last mix in raisins.
Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto a well greased cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes. Let cool and enjoy. Makes approximately 2 dozen large cookies.
Note: If you have a chocolate craving, consider adding 1/4 - 1/2 c mini chocolate chips for a little treat. ;)
Happy Garden Eating! :)
