Breakfast: Oatmeal Breakfast Cookie

http://dinnersdishesanddesserts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Oatmeal-Breakfast-Cookie-2_labeled.jpg
Recipe taken from dinnersdishesanddesserts.com

1/4 cup Oats
2 Tbls whole wheat flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbls maple syrup (I use sugar free)
3 Tbls vanilla Greek yogurt (I used Chobani Non-Fat)
1 Tbls chocolate chips
1 Tbls chopped nuts
Stir everything together in a bowl until everything is combined. Place in the center of a small microwave plate.  The mixture will be pretty wet, this is not something you can really do with your hands.  Gently press down, just slightly.  Microwave for 60-70 seconds.  Your cookie is done when it springs back, and is no longer sticky on top. Enjoy warm for gooey chocolate!

Note:   You could change this up a million different ways.  I put in chocolate chips, you could put in raisins or berries.  Add peanut butter (I have done that, it is good).  Stir in some cocoa powder for a chocolate version.  You get the idea, the possibilities are endless.
