Submitted by ladypit

"I've been trying to find quick and easy and relatively healthy lunchbox treats for my first grader. Originally this was a blueberry scone recipe from hungry girl. I've made a bunch of modifications to T's taste and these are good."

Since the posting chef and I have similar sensibilities about baking I was eager to try her latest creation as the others have been a treat. This was a bit more like a breakfast cookie than a traditional scone, so if you are expecting the later you might be a little disappointed. Since I love breakfast cookies and anticipated this result (the amount of oats was a clue) I was very pleased with the results a soft pillow of a biscuit with a chewy oaty texture. Even better they remained this way the next day, not always true with lowfat baked goods which do not often age well. While I was assembling I realized my stash of chips was near done and only had enough for half. The other half I dribbled a little mix of Recipe #185680 which complemented the recipe well. Indeed, this works well as a base for an endless combinations of flavors. Thanks ladypit!
