Ingredients

• 2 cups whole grain cereal flakes (such as Wheaties or Total)
• 1/3 cup Flour Blend (see Make-Ahead Recipe #13)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons canola oil
• 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
• 1/2 cup Orange Puree (see Make-Ahead Recipe #2)
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or 1/4 cup of favorite jam

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray a baking sheet with oil (or line with parchment paper).

2. Using a rolling pin, gently crush cereal (in a sealed plastic bag) into coarsely crushed flakes. Alternatively, you can quickly pulse the cereal in a food processor. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Flour Blend, crushed cereal, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together egg, sugar, oil, peanut butter, Orange Puree and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix just until combined.

3. Pinch off tablespoon amounts of dough and roll about 20 balls in your hands. Place on the prepared cookie sheet about an inch apart. Gently press your thumb into the center of each ball to make an indent. Fill the indent with a few chocolate chips or a half teaspoon of jam.
