we love these bars....so easy to make and healthy, too...when cooled, i wrap individually in saran wrap for a grab-n-go snack...better than store bought granola bars...cheaper, too AND you know what's in them! :-)

I decrease the oil to 1/8 cup and it is still moist and delicious.

Disappears immediately at my house - hot or cold! I keep the dry ingredients mixed up as packets so I can make a batch quickly. Have also substituted some of the cranberries for other dried berries and golden raisins. Add some chopped walnuts if you like them.

I loved this! I made 1/2 a recipe in a 9x9 pan and cooked it for 25 minutes. Yum! Delicious as a snack, too.

I love to make this ahead too and warm it up in the morning, topped with milk. I used cherry flavored cranberries and it was great.

My DH thought it was too sweet, but he doesn't like any thing sweet. The rest of us (me & the kids) thought it was good! Wish it didn't take so long to make though.

This was really good just as printed, but I "doctor" it up - add 1/2 c raisins, maybe a small, peeled apple - chopped, chopped walnuts for the top. And 2 eggs instead of egg whites. Egg whites are kind of a pain. Enjoy.

What a delicious change from ordinary oatmeal! I love it when it's "ordinary," but this recipe really makes it special.

This is my new favorite way to eat oatmeal! I can't wait to make it for my sister's kids.
