These were good. My husband liked them, too. As others suggested, I replaced half the butter with applesauce.

SO GOOD! Made these today and my roommates couldn't keep their hands off! Made a few changes though; used 2 cups minute oats, subbed the butter for 1/3 butter + 1/3 unsweetened applesauce. Cut half the sugar and split into 2 batches (one with raisins and one with choco chips and chopped walnuts.) Came out the PERFECT texture; crisp on the outside with almost a cakey soft inside. Will defff make again!

These were really good! I used 1/3 c. butter and 1/3 c. applesauce. I ground my flaxseed and did a generous 1/4 c. I added about 2 T. water and omitted the egg (b/c of the extra flax) and we didn't miss it at all. I used whole wheat flour, a VERY loose 1/2 c. brown sugar + 1/4 c. honey. I didn't realize I was out of nutmeg till I was already committed to making these, but we didn't miss it at all. These are very versatile - dried fruit would be nice, particularly apples I think. We added about 1 c. chocolate chips at the end and gobbled them up! Yum! Will make again!

I also added 1 tbsp of poppyseed, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and used crushed pecans instead of hazelnuts. I also added 1/4 cup of dried cranberries and 1/4 cup of raisins. So Amazing!

Wow! These are so darn good! I subbed in whole wheat flour for white and cut the butter in half and subbed in 1/3 cup applesauce. I made them for my 14 month old daughter for a special treat. With so much good stuff packed in there they are shockingly good!

Very good. More like a breakfast cookie. I added raisins, used 1/2 the butter plus applesauce, and used whole wheat flour. My family really enjoyed them.

I like adding raisins, I think they're a little dry without, but I love this recipe.

Used half the butter amount, and added 3/4 cup applesauce. 1/4 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of blue agave nectar. Whole wheat flour. Chopped walnuts instead of hazelnuts. Almond meal instead of wheat germ. Added a dash of almond extract in addition to the vanilla extract. They are very moist and delicious. Thanks for the fantastic recipe!!
