These are really good! They smell like doughnuts while cooking. yum! I made a few changes in order to make them healthier: <br/><br/>1. I omitted the walnuts, but placed a pecan piece on each cookie before placing in oven. <br/>2. I omitted the butter, and used 1/8 cup grapeseed oil. <br/>3. I used 1 cup quick oats and 1/2 cup rolled oats. <br/>4. Instead of maple syrup (which I'm sure would have been great, but I was out), I used honey and increased the amount to 1/4 cup.<br/>5. Since there was no sugar in the recipe, I added 1/2 cup brown sugar. <br/><br/>Really good, healthy cookies.
