Minton's Marvelous Morsels

(Granola/Everything Cookies)

Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Taste: Out of this world

Ingredients:
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 – 1.5 cups rolled oats
1 – 1.5 cups whole bran cereal
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cream of tarter
1 cup applesauce
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ cup chopped pecans (or other desired nut)
½ cup almond slivers/slices (or other desired nut)
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup sunflower seeds
½ cup peanut butter
½ cup wheat germ
1 cup shredded coconut
1 tablespoon of cinnamon
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup honey

Optional:
1 cup dried fruit (Berries or Raisins)
1 cup chocolate chips

Prepare:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix everything together in a large bowl with a large wooden spoon. Add flour last, a little at a time as you blend it in. If optional ingredients are used, add some more applesauce or a little milk to keep consistency consistent. Don’t be alarmed, this should mix up pretty chunky. Feel free to adjust ingredients such as the nuts, oats, bran cereal, and flour to get your desired consistency (more nutty, more cake like, etc). Bake for roughly 10 minutes or until done.

Place spoons of mix onto a non-stick baking sheet. Be sure to flatten the little balls on the sheet some before cooking (since these cookies are pretty chunky and the mix is a little dry, they want fall down and form a cookie shape like a traditional cookie.)

Suggested Serving:

Put a couple in your jersey pocket and eat as needed. Be prepared to be amazed.
