Oatmeal Breakfast Bites

A couple of weeks back on Try a New Recipe Tuesday, Mindie from the Adventures of a "Born-Again" Farm Girl shared these delicious treats.  Thanks SO much, Mindie.  I made them with my family and boy, were they good.  They thought they were getting cookies for breakfast, and I was assured they were getting a good and wholesome "meal."  I made them the day before Ash Wednesday (Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday, Carnivale) :-)

3 cups oats
1 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons real maple syrup

Combine dry ingredients



Add softened butter and syrup.  Mix well.  I used my hands.  :-)

Make small balls and flatten them onto either a greased cookie sheet or one covered with parchment paper.  Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes.  Let cool in pan for a few minutes.

Enjoy!  My family loved this delicious and wholesome breakfast treat.  :-)

P.S.  If your family observes Lent and you blog about it, I invite you to join myLenten Linkup.  It is open until Holy Thursday.  Hope you will stop by often to share, read and be inspired.

Lisa, I made this recipe yesterday morning for breakfast and they were DEVOURED by everyone! My hubby and kids are asking for me to make MORE ASAP! So I think I'll be making lots more soon! I think this is the first recipe that I had ALL the ingredients in my house too without having to make an extra trip to the grocery store! Triple Plus because the first two plus-s are that they are easy to make and delicious! :) Thanks for sharing! Do you mind if I post about the recipe on my blog and link back to you here so my readers can enjoy the goodness?
