MAPLE GRANOLA TO-GO BREAKFAST COOKIES
Long slow bake, low heat - that's what makes our granola bars work so well. Maple syrup keeps everything just moist enough to pack into muffin tins for a final bake - the perfect shape for stacking in the cookie jar.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Toss the oats, almonds, pecans, pumpkin seeds, wheat germ and sesame seeds in a large bowl.
- Melt the butter with 2 tablespoons maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Pour the syrup mixture over the oat mixture and stir to coat evenly.
- Spread the mixture on a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove the mixture from the oven, but leave the oven on.
- Transfer the granola to a large bowl. Stir in the remaining maple syrup, the dried fruit and egg whites. Spray twelve 1/2-cup nonstick muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray and firmly press about 1/3 cup of the mixture into each. Bake until set, about 45 minutes.
- Transfer the muffin tin to a rack and cool 15 minutes before unmolding. Store cooled granola up to 1 month at room temperature in a tightly sealed container.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix the peanut butter, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and eggs in a large bowl with a handheld mixer until smooth. Add the oats, cranberries and pepitas and mix until just combined. Use a 1/4-cup dry measuring cup or 1/4-cup ice cream scoop to scoop the dough onto the baking sheets, leaving at least 1 inch between scoops, making about 9 per tray. Flatten the scoops slightly with the back of a spoon. Bake until the cookies are starting to brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Let them sit on the baking sheets for a couple of minutes to let them set up a little bit. Serve warm, or let cool completely, then store in an airtight container for up to a week. Also great for freezing and eating straight out of the freezer! Serve with Greek yogurt for slathering or dipping, if using.
SAVORY BREAKFAST COOKIES
I admit to being a granola bar failure. A lot of the homemade granola bar recipes I've tried are either rock hard or gummy uncooked-tasting disasters. This recipe is for a savory breakfast cookie that is really light and crispy. This is a variation of a recipe that was published by Quaker Oats. I've made several adjustments, but the basic recipe idea is theirs. The bacon and cheese can make this quite salty, so I usually only add a pinch of salt. The recipe appears to be quite forgiving, however, and I've made different variations on the same theme. I don't change the sugar amount because I've found that it really needs the sugar for purposes of improving the texture. NOTE: In lieu of the flours, you may substitute 3/4 c. white flour and 1/4 cup wheat germ, just make sure you get a cup of some sort of flour mixture. The prep time doesn't include time in the refrigerator.

- Add your favorite mix-ins, such as chocolate chips, nuts, seeds, or dried fruit.
- Make sure to press the cookie dough firmly into the pan so that the cookies hold their shape.
