These were very nice and my family enjoyed them. Very crunchy and with a wholesome flavor. They took almost twice as long to cook as the recipe said though, even with me trying different temperatures. I added a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg to them and omitted the nuts because of my picky boys. :-) I also used a mixture of different oats like bran etc. Thanks for a good recipe!

<p>I am one of the early members of Zaar joining in October 2001. It was instantly my favorite site even though there were only about 5000 recipes. Back then the original owners Troy and Gay ran the site and they had a lot of interaction with the members. I miss them. <br /> <br />Through the years it still remains to this day my favorite go to site and the one that I send all of my friends and family to when they need anything.</p>
