Low Fat High Fiber Honey Oatmeal Cookies

Oatmeal is the new king of my house these days. It is the perfect heart healthy food to rule the kitchen and an amazing skin doctor to find the front row in my beauty aisle. 

For years, I thought I was eating the best breakfast from those Quaker Quick Oats. But once you heat the pan and simmer some old fashioned oats is when you realize - what the crap was the instant stuff! So get the real thing next time if you have been relying on those instant packets. Another one of my fav is the oatmeal cookie. But knowing how much sugar and butter the traditional recipe uses, I indulged once in a blue moon. Until, I made my own recently. They came out very nice, soft and perfect texture with all the goodness of oats, whole wheat flour and honey.
