These cookies are made with a combination of rolled oats, butter, sugar, eggs, and flour, and they are often flavored with vanilla, cinnamon, or raisins. Oatmeal rocks got their name because of their resemblance to small rocks or pebbles. They are hard on the outside and chewy on the inside, and they have a delicious, nutty flavor. Oatmeal rocks are a great snack or breakfast option, and they can also be served as a dessert. If you are looking for a tasty and easy-to-make cookie recipe, oatmeal rocks are a great choice.

BANANA OATMEAL ROCKS
Don't let the name fool you! These are cookies that end up soft and tender with a nice crunch from the nuts. I love the flavor comination of the lemon and banana. I personally don't care for rasins, so I use crasins (dried cranberries) This is another great way to use up ripe bananas!

MOM'S RAISIN ROCK COOKIES
This was my mom's favorite cookie recipe. In fact, I don't remember her making any other cookies (besides chocolate chip). I think the "rocks" are the walnuts. I'm totally guessing at the "time to make" and number of cookies it makes because I bake cookies even less frequently than Mom did. Please feel free to correct

Tips for Making the Best Oatmeal
- Use good-quality oats. Steel-cut oats have a chewier texture and take longer to cook, but they are more nutritious than rolled oats. Rolled oats are a good all-purpose oat that cooks quickly and has a mild flavor. Quick oats are the most processed type of oat and cook the fastest, but they also have the least nutritional value.
- Choose your liquid carefully. Water is the most common liquid used to make oatmeal, but you can also use milk, almond milk, or soy milk. If you are using milk, reduce the amount of liquid by 1/4 cup.
- Add flavorings. Oatmeal is a blank canvas that can be flavored in many ways. Common flavorings include cinnamon, sugar, vanilla extract, and fruit. You can also add nuts, seeds, or yogurt.
- Cook oatmeal properly. The best way to cook oatmeal is to simmer it in liquid over low heat. This will prevent the oatmeal from sticking to the pot and burning. Cook the oatmeal until it is tender and has reached the desired consistency.
Conclusion
Oatmeal is a healthy and versatile breakfast option that can be enjoyed in many ways. By following these tips, you can make the best oatmeal that is sure to please everyone at your table.
