  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line baking sheets with parchment paper.

  3. Beat in 1/4 cup egg substitute and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats, 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips (or mini M&Ms), and 1 cup Rice Krispies cereal.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
