Oatmeal Coconut Chip Cookies

I really wish I could say these were healthy, but ....

2 cups flour

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 cup butter flavored shortening

2 eggs

1/2 tsp. vanilla

1 1/2 cups quick oats

1 cup coconut

1/2 cup chocolate chips

Mix all ingredients and roll into 1 inch balls for each cookie.  Once on the cookie sheet press with a fork to flatten.   Bake in the oven at 350 degrees 10-12 minutes.

Before going in for the bake in the oven - flattened with a fork

They are Delicious!!

Apple Oatmeal Bread

This bread seems a bit heavy once out of the oven, but it needs time to cool and this I could probably classify as (more) healthy!

That cookie shaped like a heart just happened - cool right!

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup wheat flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda

2 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. nutmeg

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats

2 cups grated apple

1/3 cup dried cranberries

1 egg

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1/3 cup flaxseed

Completely mix all the dry ingredients and then combine with the remaining.   Pour into a greased loaf pan - makes one.   Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes.
