This is a very tastey and hearty food storage cookie (as my sister would say…oh so delicious and almost nutritious) and tastes FABULOUS dipped in milk (yes, mine is powdered milk). The wheat is easily hidden with the oat flour (pulverized in a blender) and helps to give it that hearty flavor and hide any hint that you might have used some food storage.

Wow!! Those look really good…I’m going to have to try making them with my new wheat! Do you just put your wheat in the blender????

Lindsey,
You need a liquid to blend the wheat in your blender. So like the banana or pumpkin…something along those lines. For wheat flour I put it in my grinder. Come over anytime you want and use mine until you get one!

So, I see you put 3-5 c. oatmeal. Would you say it’s closer to one than the other, or do you just add it until it’s the right consistency?

Michelle,
I usually do 4 C. When I originally got this recipe I had the same question as you and so I thought I’d be safe and pick the middle number. 🙂 Let me know what you think of the cookie!

Just a word of warning on the oatmeal. The first time I made these I measured the oatmeal after I pulverized it in the blender. This resulted in hockey pucks rather than cookies.
The range on the oatmeal is so broad because the type of the oatmeal is not specified. You definitely need rolled oats for this recipe, but a cup of “Old Fashioned” oats will produce a different amount of oat flour than “5-minute” oats, which will in turn produce a different amount of oat flour than “Instant” oats.
4 cups of old fashioned rolled oats should produce about 320g (11.25oz or roughly 1 1/3 C) of oat flour. Adjust up or down per preference.

For comparison with the bean cookies in the succeeding blog post, these full fat cookies are roughly 500 calories for a 4 cookie serving with about 200 of those calories from fat.

There is a question, above, about blending grain. When I make these cookies I blend the oats dry in my blender. I also grind wheat dry when I grind it in my blender.
Be careful not to put too much grain in the blender. While blenders are designed to efficiently process a full jar of liquids, this doesn’t hold for dry ingredients. If you try to process too much dry in your blender, only the bottom portion will get drawn through the blades and ground.
