I'm always on the lookout for quick and easy recipes to make in the kitchen. Sometimes, you just don't have the time or feel like making cupcakes from scratch or a two layer cake. So I was going through my Martha Stewart Cookies app the other day and saw some simple oatmeal-almond crisps I wanted to try. I guess I'm on an almond kick lately but frankly, I wanted to find a recipe to use up the leftover almond slices I have from baking the macaroons.
I figured it was pretty safe that I would like these crisps. I love oatmeal (ok, maybe love is too strong a word for how anyone feels about oatmeal but I do like it a lot) and almonds. It basically just uses a little bit of butter and egg to bind the two together, along with some brown sugar to sweeten it. It's a very simple, quick mix-together recipe that you might want to consider if you are looking for a healthier alternative and something easy to whip up for yourself or your kids.
The result is a somewhat delicate crisp...not very crunchy since the oatmeal give it a nice chewiness and just mildly sweet with a hint of caramelized flavor. It's like granola and also reminds me of my favorite Kashi cereal. This might be the reason why my son asked if he could have some for breakfast.
