Oatmeal 2 Go
My kids both love oatmeal but sometimes we just don’t have the time to sit down and eat a whole bowlful. Granola bars don’t do the trick for my hungry 5 year old, but when Macki [1]told me about these awesome oatmeal bars I knew we’d have an instant hit.
The great thing about these bars is that they taste just like oatmeal – like if you could pick up a bowl of oatmeal and take it along with you without any mess, they’d taste like this. My kid was so excited that twice I had to chop extra apples to replace the ones he’d snacked on while we were cooking.
Both kids went wild for these very dense, moist Oatmeal 2 Go bars. We had them for breakfast, lunch and dinner and had to make another batch the next morning. Macki, you are a genius! Now for the recipe…
