I found this recipe, and can't wait to try them. This recipe sounds seriously good. Anyone have anything else similar?

Bacon, Cereal, and Orange Juice Breakfast Cookies

- makes 12 big cookies -

Adapted from Cookies by Natalie Hartanov Haughton

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, room temperature

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 egg

2 tablespoons thawed frozen orange juice concentrate

1 tablespoon grated orange peel

1/2 cup Grape-Nuts

Procedure

1. Preheat oven to 350Â°F.

2. In a medium bowl, beat together butter, sugar, egg, orange juice concentrate and peel, until light and fluffy. Add flour and baking powder, beating until well blended.

3. Stir in bacon and cereal, stirring only until incorporated.

Actually I have several favorite breakfasts, sorry ladies, neither one of the 2 below is low cal, but not real bad. 1. Chipped beef on browned toast with a pad of butter quartered around the plate before you put the broken up toast down (or homemade biscuits, rare) and then the chipped beef gravy, top this off with some ground pepper just a small touch of cinnamon. 2. Two buttermilk pancakes (with real butter) on the first and top one, with some quality sage sausage (link or patty, local butcher) on the side, and two over easy eggs on the top of the pancakes with a little fine ground pepper on top of eggs! I cut this all up in a checkerboard pattern from the eggs down, somewhat neatly, eat the top layer with the eggs and 1/2 the sausage, then put maple syrup on the second layer and eat it with the other 1/2 sausage! This with 2 cups of good coffee, Absolutely AWESOME! From reading this you would think I am enormous but actually I limit myself to once a week usually Sunday unless I'm going out for breakfast. I'm 6' and 210 to 220lbs appropriately proportioned. I had this breakfast at a local restaurant that was watched by others and requested so often (can I have what he's having) that it is now on there menu! Quite a compliment. Great post boy the way, breakfast is my favorite meal.

I have been experimenting with baked oatmeal. You can add and subtract whatever you like. It cooks up kind of like a cake. This is an example of a recipe I found on mothering dot com Baked Oatmeal Not crockpot, but have you tried baked oatmeal? It is freakin GOOD!! It is not mushy at all, more like a cake texture. INGREDIENTS: 1/2 cup applesauce (or veggie oil) 3/4 cup sweetner of your choice (sugar, Splenda, whatever) 2 eggs 1 cup milk 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon baking powder 3 cups regular oats 1/2 cup raisins 1-2 tablespoons brown sugar (I personally use the brown sugar splenda) 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon -------------------------------------------------------------------------- DIRECTIONS: Beat together applesauce and sweetner of choice. Mix in eggs, milk, salt, baking powder, oatmeal. Beat well then stir in raisins. Pour into a lightly grease pie pan. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Refrigerate overnight. The next morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake in preheated oven until firm, about 35 minutes. Serve hot. I made some last night and used 1/2 cup brown sugar and some chocolate chips instead of raisins. I also added in 2 tablespoons each of wheat germ and ground flax. You could also use diced apples and more cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice instead of the raisins. Maybe your son would like something like this. It makes a big pan and you can eat it cold or warm. I did not wait overnight. It stays together better as it cools.

Your image is probably not wrong Jasdip. :) I've worn the flannel loungers before. People are fine with sweats but afraid of flannel. Go figure, as they say. Plus going to the clinic and therapy after the surgery, normal pants were not much of an option. And no way was I wearing the hospital gowns! Far more offensive to me are the people who don't realize that spandex is a privilege, not a right. They're also usually marinated in jug perfume and the 10 other stenches, er, scents and yakking on their cell phones the whole time. Must be awfully important people. I like the cookie idea. Super simple too. Right up my alley. But if they want to do a come in your sleepwear day, well, which day? Sometimes I sleep in my underwear and sometimes not even that. They might want me to call in sick that day!

Tishtosh, thanks for the report! Next time, since you're warming the coconut milk anyway, you can easily condense/evaporate it yourself (unless that's what coconut cream is? (I'm allergic so clueless on that point)). If you want the oats to absorb more/better, you can stir them in first and let them soak up some of the coconut milk before you add the rest of the ingredients. Writersblock, many thanks for the complete info. I've only been to Florida the once, but Key lime pie was also made here, brought by people who'd come from Florida one assumes. Probably made with Mexican limes, which are pretty similar if not the same. As you said, it had white flour crust (can't comment on the shortening--I assume also lard, though maybe vegetable) and meringue. The Key lime pie I had in the keys was even better. Nothing like getting it from the experts at the source. :) I was shocked once, just as you say, post-grasshopper pie era, to be served something called "Key" that was this hideous dark green (one assumes Persian limes) and had graham cracker crust and whipped cream. I said, "that's not Key lime pie" and sent it back. It might have been good, but I was too let down to try. Interesting about the cow economy in Florida. I'm beginning to think maybe someone said something about that when I was there, the more I think on it, but I really didn't know at all. I was about to ask questions, but don't want to go on a tangent of a tangent so I'll just look it all up.

So you can add the OJ and zest to that recipe, too.

I thought all cookies were suitable for breakfast.

Like fori, I thought cookies WERE a breakfast food. Especially oatmeal raisin, they seem so like a "whole grain goodness" kind of thing. (grin)

I'd like either of those, without the bacon. I just can't go there, I'm afraid. I do like these, although they are inordinately healthy (for a cookie, at least). I didn't have sucanat, so I just used brown sugar.

Fruit Nut & Oat Cookies
Ingredients
Olive oil cooking spray
3/4 cup of white whole-wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1 cup of Sucanat
6 tbsp canola oil
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 large egg whites
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups of rolled oats
1/2 cup unsweetened dried fruit of your choice (think raisins, prunes, cherries, etc.)
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 and lightly spray two baking sheets with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine Sucanat, oil, applesauce, egg whites, and vanilla and mix with a hand blender combined. Add flour mixture and mix well until just combined. Stir in oats, fruit, and nuts.

Drop 2 tbsp-sized balls of dough onto the baking sheet. Bake for about twelve minutes or until lightly golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Enjoy!

Makes 24 cookies.

Ashley likes these, I can even eat them in spite of the bananas, because there are enough other things going on there. The 1/4 cup is way, way too big, though, the cookies spread into giant breakfast cookies.

Breakfast Cookies

1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup applesauce
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups flour (all-purpose or 3/4 cup all-purpose and 3/4 cup whole wheat)
1/4 cup toasted wheat germ
2 cups quick-cooking oats (not instant)
1 cup raisins (or dried cranberries, or chocolate chips)

Preheat the oven to 350Â°.
With an electric mixer, beat the peanut butter and applesauce until combined. Beat in the brown sugar. Add egg and vanilla, beating until mixed. Stir in the bananas, baking soda and salt.
Add the flour and wheat germ, mixing until combined. Stir in the oatmeal and raisins.
Drop 1/4-cup dollops of batter four inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Press down slightly with the palm of your hand to flatten into three-inch rounds.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the edges are browned. Let stand 1 minute on the tray, then remove to a wire rack.

My new motto? Have a cookie for breakfast!

Actually, cookies are the only way I'll ever eat oatmeal, so I also believe that oatmeal rasin cookies are breakfast food by design. I just like the idea of bacon and OJ in my cookies, too.

I totally agree about cookies being a breakfast food. With or without bacon.
