Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 cup wheat flour or 1 cup rye flour or 1 cup other whole grain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons coconut, grated (optional)
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup applesauce
- 1/3 cup molasses (blackstrap gives the best flavor)
Recipe
- 1 combine dry ingredients. add applesauce and molasses.
- 2 press firmly into a greased 13x9 baking dish.
- 3 bake at 325 for 20 minutes. cool at least 15 minutes, and cut into bars.
- 4 *you can use up to 1/2 cup applesauce if you want a much softer granola bar, or decrease for even more crunch. coconut is absolutely optional, but it adds something special to the consistency without drawing attention to itself.
- 5 *i really believe this recipe would lend itself well to any whole grain flour. i've only tried the two listed here, and maybe oat flour once, but i hope to try other flours sometime.
- 6 *i can get molasses cheap in bulk, so i use that in this recipe. the original called for honey, but it's too expensive for me to keep much on hand, and the granola bars made with honey were really bland, even with some vanilla added, so i prefer the molasses. if you prefer to use honey, just add 1/4 cup, a little vanilla, and substitute 1/3 cup of brown sugar for the . don't use vanilla with the molasses--tastes weird. besides, everything is cheaper without vanilla.

- 4 next take 6 of the rounds and, using a sharp knife, make straight little cuts in towards the center of the circle (don’t cut all the way through the circle – you are cutting about a half inch in towards the center, kind of like bicycle wheel spokes). then take each of the 6 cut circles and place one on top of each of the uncut dough rounds (so you have a solid round underneath, and a bicycle wheel cut round on top). you can brush a little water in the center of the plain round first, in order to help the two pieces stick together. if needed, you can also place a wooden round stick through the center of the spoke round and the bottom one, to make them stay together.
- 5 after that deep fry them in hot oil (over medium heat), until they are golden brown . remove them from the oil onto absorbent paper to drain for a minute or two. as it fries, the top round should puff up like flower petals.

Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 5 1/2 tablespoons milk
- 2 1/4 tablespoons butter or 2 1/4 tablespoons margarine
- 2 tablespoons hershey's cocoa
- 4 tablespoons creamy or crunchy jiff peanut butter
- 1 cup giant food brand oats
- 4 tablespoons of creamy jiff peanut butter
Recipe
- 1 - have the cocoa, peanut butter, and oats pre-measured out before start and laid aside as they will be needed quickly.
- 2 - also lay about 2 feet of tin foil out on the counter in advance (ungreased).
- 3 - begin by putting sugar, milk, and butter/margarine in cooking pot on the stove.
- 4 - turn fire on medium-low and stir continuously.
- 5 - wait for things to heat up and you want to adjust the fire to keep it at the perfect level, which is tiny, tiny bubbles slowly coming up almost like its on the verge of beginning to boil. (if there are bubbles everywhere and things are starting rumble, it̢۪s too high).
- 6 note: very important to not overcook as sugar burns easily and tastes awful.
- 7 - once it’s at the â€Å“perfect level,â€? stir constantly for about 2 minutes than turn fire off but keep pot in place.
- 8 - drop in cocoa and quickly stir until all chunks are out.
- 9 - drop in peanut butter and stir until completely melted and stirred inches.
- 10 - drop in oats and stir in completely.
- 11 - quickly remove and using spoon, begin scooping up/dropping globs onto foil depending on size desired (i prefer a little over a tablespoon).
- 12 - let sit uncovered for 20 minutes, allowing them to harden up.
- 13 - once hardened, wash hands and scoop a little bit of creamy peanut butter onto tip of pointer finger.
- 14 - lightly and gently dab the top of a cookie with the tip of your finger and lift up, leaving a tiny hershey-kiss shaped pile. do this 8-10 times all over the top of each cookie (scooping up more onto finger as needed).
- 15 note: the amount done depends on taste; it just adds a hint of salty peanut butter taste on the top. you can easily break a test cookie in thirds to â€Å“testâ€? 3 different amounts to find desired taste.
- 16 - once done, leave uncovered for a few hours before wrapping up. this allows peanut butter to dry-out and harden on top.
- 17 - eat and enjoy!
- 18 ~try these tasty, fun ideas!~.
- 19 ~ make a batch but with every cookie unique, adding special things on top before hardening such as caramel candies, mini-marshmallows, raisins, chocolate kisses, coconut, cashews, peanuts, pecans, walnuts, dark chocolate m&ms, candy corn, frosting.etc!
- 20 ~ divide everything all the ingredients by 3 to make 3 different pots then take each pot and use a different filler; batch #1 using oats, batch #2 using rice crispies, cereal, and batch #3 using frosted corn flakes!
- 21 ~ use bigger globs and after putting each one down, push a small reese peanut butter cup in the middle instead of dabbing peanut butter on after done!
- 22 ~ use ½ cup extra oats and 3 ½ inch globs and after putting each one down, push in 3 robin egg candies to make â€Å“robins nests!â€?
- 23 ~ to holiday-ify, get small candy-coated hershey kisses, pick out holiday̢۪s colors (ex: red, green, & for christmas) and right after putting each glob down, push a few onto the top of each cookie!
- 24 ~ instead of using globs, flatten with a spoon into ¼ inch thick 3in square or circle and later use in place of chocolate bar when making yummy s'mores!
- 25 note: you'll see i used specific brand names for 2 things. the peanut butter because after using a few brands, me and others agreed that this one definitely tasted the best for the cookies. the oats because other brands such as quaker were much different textured and were hard and completely ruined the taste or texture of the entire experience. so following these aren't required but very recommended.

Total Time: 22 mins
Preparation Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 7 mins
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup butter flavor shortening, room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus
- 1/8 cup granulated sugar (2 tablespoons)
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 (12 ounce) package semisweet chocolate morsels (either nestle regular size or hershey mini size, equal to 2 cups)
- 1 cup chopped nuts
Recipe
- 1 preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- 2 combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.
- 3 in another, larger, bowl add the sugars, vanilla and milk; then cream in the butter and shortening by beating on medium-low just until there are no sugar clumps; *be careful not to overmix.
- 4 beat in (on medium-low) the eggs, one at a time; then gradually add in your flour mixture; *don't overmix!
- 5 stir in the chips and nuts; regular sized nestle chips melts fine, but regular sized hershey chips don't melt fast enough.
- 6 drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets; *either rinse your cookie sheets in cool water between batches or cool them off in the freezer for a minute (if dough spreads when you place it on the sheet then the edges might burn and the cookies will flatten - no hotter than room temp); also keep your dough cool in the fridge between batches (this is very important).
- 7 bake for 7 to 11 minutes or until barely golden brown - if you over-bake then you risk all of your hard work turning into flatness.
- 8 options-.
- 9 if you sub oatmeal or coconut for the nuts, then add in another 1 or 2 t of milk; peanut butter chips or buterscotch chips can also be substituted for the nuts - the cookies will be a little moister.
- 10 do not ever use margarine.
- 11 salt compliments chocolate and nuts very well, but if you want to omit 1/2 teaspoon then that's fine.
