These are made with part butter (or margarine) and part oil. Packed with oat bran and wheat germ, they taste good too! I reduced some of the add ins as suggested by reviewers.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup honey
1 cup packed brown sugar or 1 cup sucanat
1/2 cup margarine or 1/2 cup butter, room temp
1/2 cup canola oil or 1/2 cup butter
1 cup rolled oats
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup oat bran
1/4 cup toasted wheat germ
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup chunky peanut butter
1 cup m&m's or 1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanuts, chopped (optional)
1/2 cup roasted unsalted sunflower seeds
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. In bowl, beat together honey, brown sugar, margarine and canola oil until creamy and well blended.
3. Mix in oats, vanilla and eggs; then flour, oat bran, wheat germ, baking powder and baking soda. Mix until well combined.
4. Stir in peanut butter, then M & M's or chocolate chips, peanuts, if using, and sunflower seeds.
5. Drop by rounded tablespoons about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten slightly.
6. Bake in preheated oven 12 minutes or until cookies are set and begin to brown.
7. Cool on cookie sheets about 1 minute, then remove and cool completely on wire rack.
