Recipe Description
These bars are chewy. They’re sweet, but not overly so. They provide a nice substance to hold the kids over until they get home and are loaded with oats. I really like that Lucian actually enjoys oats. They are an incredibly versatile whole grain. You can make dessert, breakfast, and even dinners with oats. I even throw oats in my meatballs. It’s not often that *my* kid likes things that are good for him. Green peppers, for example. He thinks he hates them but has never in his life tried them. Why is that? I’m not pointing fingers, but his father despises green peppers. Could this be why? Maybe or maybe he just doesn’t like the color of them. I can’t keep up with the reasons.
