Notes

Frequently Asked Questions:
  1. What type of baking chips are best?  Any!  I prefer the fun ones like sea salt caramel, but any flavor will work great!
  2. Can I use flavored oatmeal?  YES!  To cut corners sometimes I use packets of apple cinnamon, brown sugar, or cinnamon flavored oats!
  3. Can I add anything for even more fall flavor?  YES!  Sometimes I like to add a tsp of vanilla or a tbsp of maple syrup!
  4. How can I make them more festive for fall?  Sometimes I like to add fall sprinkles when I add the oats!  Or I shape them like pumpkins and use some green icing to add a stem once chilled!
