Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup whole-wheat flour (spooned and leveled)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup packed dark-brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup rolled oats (not quick-cooking)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flours and baking powder; set aside.
