okay so it's in the oven ... somewhat modified to what I had in the house ... no rice cereal so I used some 7-grain flakes, some grape nuts, some wheat germ, flax, dd chopped some almonds for me, and I used both mini choc chip & some raisins ... left out the 1/4 cup sugar ... and accidentally put in 2 eggs ... What

(I make something very similar but with oil. But I want to try yours, cookielady, because it only has one egg and mine has two. Confused )
