Oh yeah??? What about THIS!? That looks pretty black and white to me!
moving on- why has no one addressed the fact that oats don't belong in cookies- it's more butter- and more chocolate chips. but not oats.

Point taken but he's more of a biracial cookie. Oatmeal does in fact belong in cookies look at the Quaker do you really think he got that happy just eating a bowl of oatmeal?! No it's because he discovered that he could turn horse food into cookies. Learn your history0 -

I agree with this. I have tried a lot of "healthy" protein bar and other baked goods recipes with oats and man are they terrible. And the same calories as many others.0 -

that's a step up I suppose from horse food- but I'd rather skip that step entirely. I'm more of a chocolate with a side of chocolate kind of cookie person.
Well lies- I like boring fresh out of the oven chocolate chip coolies.
more lies.
I'm lazy- I don't even let them cook first. #cookiedoughforlife

I would love that recipe if you are willing to share it! I have a whole can of pumpkin puree at home and I was trying to decide what to do with it.

I don't make it as paleo as the originator, replacing half the oat flour with wheat. It improves the durability of the pancake somewhat.0 -
I have an oatmeal protein pancake that has replaced our regular recipe. It includes oatmeal flour, pumpkin puree, and protein powder. We have it with Greek Yogurt and fruit.

That's a lot healthier than what I do to get my kids to eat pumpkin. I mix 1 can of pumpkin puree with 1 tbsp of pumpkin pie spice and a box of white cake mix. Then I bake it in mini muffin tins. You can do the same with pumpkin and a box of chocolate cake mix and it makes chocolate muffins. I like to include peanut butter chips in the chocolate one.0 -
I can say one unfair advantage you have is the beard. Any crumbs or cookie pieces which miss your piehole you can comb them out and try again. And, yes, this thread is disturbing. I may need to visit 'the inner aisles of hell' tonight to grab some cookies. Be proud people. . . . . be so very proud!tincanonastring wrote: »Great job guys. Now I've switched from moderation to a cookie monster and it's all your fault. Stupid cookie conversation. WHY DO YOU ALL TRY TO SABOTAGE MY DIET?!?!?!?

Boobs. there are boobs for that. sorry not sorry.0 -
Apparently I'm the lazy person with pumpkin puree; I usually add it to pasta sauce for extra micros; you can't taste it at all.
But, the best pumpkin bread ever (I add ginger and double all the spices):

And then everyone should turn it into this (I have received marriage proposals over this stuffing):

Or, on a sweeter note, there's this too:

If we've moved past cookies and into alternative uses for oats... I give you the amazing blueberry crumble recipe that I have made the last two weekends in my cast iron skillet...

at least you can be proud you are eating vegan or something. lol. My husband is lactose intolerant so it's awesome when I can make a baked good with no dairy or butter. Plus anything with only 2 ingredients is rad.0 -

Well. That's easy for SOME people to say. Not all of us are so blessed =P
And damn this thread anyway. It's got me looking for my Speculoos cookie butter baked oatmeal recipe. I also have an absolutely wicked creme brulee oatmeal recipe, but I think I might be sent to healthy eating hell if I posted it.
