Notes

I use old-fashioned rolled oats but I'm sure you could substitute quick oats if that's all you have on hand.
I use maple syrup for these and love the warmth and flavor it brings, but you could substitute honey (if you don't need them to be vegan).
Optional add-ins for these cookies: ¼ cup raisins, ¼ cup chopped walnuts, ¼ cup mini chocolate chips.
You also could serve these cookies with a smear of peanut butter or almond butter for a protein boost. (Or make them into a cookie sandwich with peanut butter in the middle!)
