Cam you substitute with almond flour?
I haven’t tried that, but if you do, let me know how it works!
Vivian says
These are delicious! I did not change a thing except I only had one egg ????so I added 1/4 cup milk and they were not dry at all. Definitely a keeper!
I’m so glad you liked them!
Margaret M Singleton says
Can coconut and nuts be added to the recipe?
I haven’t tried that, but I think it would be fine!
Sandie says
Made them and was not impressed. They really don’t have much flavor. I even added 2/3 cup pecans. They were easy to make and baked up nice and brown. But alas not a, Wow this is a good cookie. Won’t be making them again.☹️
So sorry to hear that you didn’t like these, Sandie. This is one I love, or it wouldn’t have made it onto the blog. Baking time matters quite a bit in this recipe, so given that you described them as nice and brown I wonder if they were baked a little too long. That would definitely make them less impressive.
Sue says
Excellent and super easy! I added pecans, but otherwise followed the directions exactly. I like these much better than regular chocolate chip cookies because of all the oats.
I’m so happy you liked it Sue!
