Hi Patrice!
The liquid is the egg. It really binds those oat flakes together, and
you want the mixture to be thick. The oatmeal is uncooked, and I use
the 1 minute, quick cooking variety. I've never tried the 5 minute
stuff.
The cookie (I used to call it a pancake) has a nice, nutty texture.
Come to think of it, you could add chopped nuts to make it more
interesting if you wanted to.
I hope you'll enjoy this!
