  1. Oh, my!! Those sound delicious. I think we will have to test them out this weekend! Thanks.

  2. These sound GREAT! Do you know what kind of flour she is referring to? Will fresh ground work?
    Thanks!

    I’m sure it was just all-purpose white flour, but I wouldn’t see a problem with using wheat! Sarah

  3. I made these yesterday afternoon. They are so very good. I highly recommend having plenty of milk available when you serve these delights! Thanks for the recipe.

  4. Thank you for sharing this recipe – – sounds so yummy! I look forward to making them for my family. 🙂

  5. They are fabulous (and kind of breakfasty) with cinnamon chips instead of chocolate chips!

  6. These are soooooo yummy – and, surely putting oats in something makes it healthy?….right?….. The children are making light work of making them disappear!
