This one my children's favorite breakfast treats.


Chewy Oatmeal Bars

1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. vanilla extract
5 T. butter (at room temp.)
1/4 c. raw honey
1/4 c. brown sugar
1 c. raisins, nuts, or chopped fruit (or sometimes I add 1/2 c. chocolate chips as a special treat)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 325*.
Lightly coat and 8x8" pan with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Stir til well blended.

Press mixture firmly into pan.

    The house is 70 degrees, but still, I'm cold today. This will hit the spot and warm us all. Thank you and love to you.

    These sound good - similar to an oatmeal bar that I make with a slightly different twist. I copied the recipe down because I just might try it in the future.

    Thanks for sharing. :)
