i think BLUEBERRIES were dancing around the minds of many yeasterday....
Rue http://rueandhyssop.blogspot.com/2010/01/still-dreaming-of-spring.html  over yonder brought out the sunshine and took us on a winter blueberry picking adventure...was uplifting admist the rain we are enduring

yesterday morning i spoke with my grandfather, he asked what i was making for breakfast...oatmeal with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and milk...oh well we put blueberries in our oatmeal...blueberries grandpa...never tried that..

so always willing to try something new and tantalizing i pulled out a huge bag of frozen blueberries and into my oatmeal these bountiful blueberries went...wow, was all i could say...a new way of eating my oatmeal for now on...for the love of grandpa's...always there to share new insight!

as i continued eating this sweet oatmeal my mind wandered to the thought of cookies...can't help it as i love cooking and baking...

last night i pulled out good ol betty...oatmeal drop cookies recipe and decide to give it a whirl and recreate a new oatmeal cookie with blueberries...kind of scared but the process had already begun in my mind...

Blueberry Oatmeal Cookies~

Preheat oven 400 degrees

Bowl 1~

1/2 cup coconut oil
1 1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
6 tbsp dark karo syrup (i ran out of molasses!?!)

Cream above ingrediants together till fluffy

Bowl 2~

Sift all ingrediants

1 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp cinnamon

Add sifted dry ingrediants to bowl 1...mix till incoporated

2 cups quick cooking oats

Add to mixture...mix till incorporated

1 cup blueberries

Fold gently...they are fragile little pieces...they also do not stick completely in the mix...fear not..they will bake and become one with the cookie...

scoop 1 tbsp size on baking sheet

bake 8~10 mins...

cool & store in glass jar

i will be honest i think i immensely enjoyed eating the dough more than the cookie
my tummy was so full by the time the were ready i just had a nibble...

this morning i found them and thought why not...oatmeal blueberries sounds like a breakfast snack to me...next time i think i will try them in a bar shape...but i do have to say there is something about blueberries and oatmeal i am quite happy to have experienced!
