I found this recipe on Shape magazine’s Facebook wall, and have adapted it a bit to fit my philosophy. It was actually pretty healthy to begin with, but I added a few tweaks AND links to coupons where available. Enjoy!

- 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
- 1 c. oats
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder

- 1/4 c. soy milk (or almond milk)
- 1 tbsp. canola oil OR 1 tbsp. all-natural applesauce

Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

- Cool and enjoy!
