Oatmeal on the go

I got this recipe from Hungry girls web site and had to share. I made these tonight and I'm very pleased with the outcome!Grab 'n Go Breakfast Cookies PER SERVING (1 cookie): 154 calories, 1.5g fat, 166mg sodium, 32.5g carbs, 5g fiber, 10.5g sugars, 5g protein -- POINTS® value 2* These things are large, fiber-packed, portable, and SOOO DELICIOUS!!!! Make a batch in the PM, and you'll have super-quick b-fasts for the next few AMs! Ingredients: 1/2 cup regular oats (not instant) 6 tbsp. whole-wheat flour 1/4 cup Fiber One bran cereal (original), ground to a breadcrumb-like consistency in a blender or food processor 1/4 cup Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated) 1/3 cup Gerber Peaches (or another brand of pureed peaches, found in the baby food aisle) 1/4 cup canned pure pumpkin 1/4 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original) 1 tbsp. golden raisins 1 tbsp. Ocean Spray Craisins (original) 2 tbsp. brown sugar, not packed 2 tsp. Coffee-mate Sugar Free French Vanilla powdered creamer 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 1/8 tsp. salt Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Chop raisins and Craisins into small pieces. Set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, flour, Fiber One crumbs, Splenda, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well. In a separate bowl, dissolve Coffee-mate into 2 tbsp. hot water. Add all other wet ingredients (pureed peaches, pumpkin, and egg substitute), and mix well. Add liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, and stir until completely blended. Slowly sprinkle chopped raisins and Craisins into the batter, making sure they don't all stick together. Spray a large baking pan with nonstick spray, and spoon batter into 4 evenly spaced circles. Spread batter out a bit with the back of a spoon. Place pan in the oven for 12 - 14 minutes (until tops of the treats are just slightly crispy). Remove pan from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Then grab 'n go! MAKES 4 SERVINGS HG Alternative! If you don't feel like whipping out the blender to grind that Fiber One, simply leave the F1 crumbs out of the recipe. Your cookies won't be as high in fiber, but they'll still taste great and clock in with a POINTS® value of 2* each
