Method

  1. Put the oil, sugar, water, and vanilla together in a bowl. Mix well.
  2. Add the oats, flour, salt, and baking soda.
  3. Place on a greased baking sheet in lumps about 1 inch across and about 3 inches apart.
  4. Bake at 191 °C (375 °F) for 10–12 minutes, and serve when the cookies have begun to brown.

Notes

  • You can add additions such as ½ cup nuts, dried fruits and/or chocolate chips. Be aware that mix will be looser with additional dry ingredients.
  • Leftover dough can be spread in a thin layer on a cookie sheet and baked, turning every 4–5 minutes, to make a tasty and crunchy granola.
  • This recipe can very easily be cut in half or doubled.
