Delicious oatmeal bake

This recipe was an accident. A delicious, gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, protein and omega-3 packed accident that you should all try. NOW!!

I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, whether it be testing someone else's recipes (usually making changes) or creating original recipes of my own. I was craving an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, while also feeling adventurous, so decided I'd make up my own recipe. Here is the thing though......baking is a science. Unlike cooking, with baking you can't just add a pinch here, a dash there and have it turn out just right the first time (typically). Let's just say I figured going into this experiment that my cookies were NOT going to rise and set right. Mainly because I wanted to use almond meal/flour in lieu of all purpose or whole wheat flour. I still haven't figured that whole conversion thing out yet. But the end result was a success. I turned my cookie recipe into an oatmeal bake recipe and BOOM.....

If you are wondering what made me turn my "cookie" recipe into something else.....here ya go.....
