Scott’s Oatmeal Mounds recipe:

1 cup of butter (125 g)
1 cup of brown sugar
1 tsb baking soda
1/3-1/4 hot water
2 cups of flour
2 cups of rolled oats of your choice
Optional: raisins, chocolate chips, or cinnamon.

Blend cup of melted butter together with brown sugar. You can do that with a wooden spoon.

Dissolve baking soda in hot water and add to your butter/sugar mix.

Add flour and rolled oats gradually to the bowl.

Once you get a sticky dough, use a big cereal spoon to make about 16 round cookies on a baking pan. Feel free to leave as is or press down to flatten them.

Bake at 350° F/180°C for 10 - 18 minutes depending on preference.

Enjoy your delicious breakfast oatmeal mounds with a hot cup of tea, coffee or a cold glass of milk!
