Crunchy Munchy Honey Cakes!

B.'s been listening to a lot of the Wiggles in movement class in preschool, so I thought it would be fun to make the cookie/cake they have a song about.  It's a rainy day...why not?



Anyway, I did my own twist on them and I don't know how they are *supposed* to look or taste, but they turned out yummy!  With the 2nd batch, I didn't form them into balls and instead just spread the mixture onto a baking sheet to make granola.  Both are great!

CRUNCHY MUNCHY HONEY CAKES

3 cups "muesli" - I used a mixture of oatmeal, chia seeds, quiona flakes, dried cranberries and some cinnamon with oatmeal being the main ingredient
1 cup self-rising flour, sifted
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup finely chopped carrots
1/2 cup sugar
9 Tbsp. coconut oil (or you can use butter)
3 Tbsp. soy milk
2 Tbsp. ground flax mixed with 3 Tbsp. water (just because, it's not an egg substitute in this recipe)
2 tsp. honey

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Combine muesli flakes, sifted flour, coconut, and sugar in a bowl and mix well.

Heat butter, milk, flax and water and honey. Pour over dry ingredients and mix well. Roll into balls the size of walnuts and place on a greased baking sheet.

Bake in a preheated oven at 325 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
