These were delicious, and a joy to make. Quick & easy, and the batter was just the right consistency - not too sticky, not too greasy.

I'm so glad you enjoyed them! It's funny--I haven't made them in a while and I was just thinking about making them again. Thanks for commenting!

Very nice texture with sifted flour with spices and baking soda and salt.
I also added 1 extra tsp. powdered ginger for a little more kick.
Excellent crispyness with right balance of chocolate to oatmeal. Sinful.
