Ingredients

1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ground ginger

1 egg

3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar

1/3 cup canola oil

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup oats (not instant)

2 oz white chocolate

1/3 cup dried blueberries and goji berries
1/4 caramelized ginger (see directions below)

Directions

2.  Mix flour, wheat germ, baking soda, salt and ground ginger in a small bowl. 
3.  Whisk egg, brown sugar, oil and vanilla in a large bowl. 
4.  Add dry ingredients into large bowl and stir.
5.  Next, add oats, chocolate, blueberries/goji berries, and caramelized ginger and stir to combine all ingredients.
