Healthy Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies

This is a recipe I created out of a need for a healthy low fat, high fiber breakfast option. This "cookie" is not very sweet. You can add more sugar if desired. Makes a great breakfast with a piece of fruit.

Used all egg white and Splenda Brown for the sugar. I made a half recipe and smaller in size so ended up with 14 cookies that are quite nice. As said, they aren't sweet but I don't think they really need to be any sweeter as they are meant for breakfast and not a sweet snack. Loved the pineapple, carrot and raisin combo. Mine came out on the soft and chewy side :D

I used 2 eggs. Next time I may try them smaller. And probably use 1 cup of all purpose flour and reduce by 1/2 cup the whole wheat flour. My son didn't like them probably because they're too healthy. But they're filling. I baked them 20 minutes and they were ready. Thanks healthycook :) Made for PAC Fall 2011

Used vanilla yogurt & golden raisins, then followed the recipe on down to the end, for a very tasty breakfast (AND lunch!) treat! Something like the flavor of carrot cake, but with a new dimension, what with the addition of wheat flour & bran! Thanks for sharing!
