    I love this recipe and it's so easy to play around with. I used puffed brown rice instead of oats and raisins/craisins instead of choc chips. Also, crushed nuts instead of the flax. - 9/6/09

    Okay, I took out the choc. chips and added some p'kin & sunflower seeds and fruit spread (lower in cals and sugar than preserves) in the hopes it would taste like a PB&J(my binge food of choice, I can eat 4 at one time, really.)Oh...my...goodness!! Incredible!
    I am sure chips would be dangerous! - 8/21/09
