You’re most likely questioning why I’m posting so many baked recipes on this warmth however I’m having some work carried out to my home and it’s actually onerous to prepare dinner round right here this week. I made these final week figuring out issues could be chaotic round right here… you will love these!!!

I lower them in lengthy bars just like the granola bars you purchase within the retailer, nevertheless it’s truly loads simpler to chop them in squares which is how I’ll make them sooner or later.

In case you are an everyday on my web site, you would possibly discover the similarities to my chewy chocolate chip oatmeal cookies! I used that recipe as a base and made some modifications to create this as a bar. I knew they’d work out nice they usually disappeared rapidly in my home as you possibly can see by the photograph, they nearly left me nothing to {photograph}!

Strive them with cranberries as a substitute of raisins, you possibly can substitute the chocolate chips with mini m and m’s, depart the nuts out, add coconut, no matter you want!!
