We love this recipe in my house! It's on repeat just about every other weekend! It's good to freeze a few bars, too, to take to school in the morning for me - or perfect for a snack even. JUST GOOD!

Very easy to make and delicious. Subbed Apple cider for the almond milk and turned out super tangy. Ate w homemade apple sauce & almond butter- great post yoga power snack! A recipe I’ll certainly repeat.
So happy to hear that you enjoyed! Apple cider and homemade applesauce are awesome additions! YUMMY 🙂 – Krista <3

Made again (w/Apple cider instead of almond milk) added dried cherries- and subbed agave for syrup. Delish! Such a versatile recipe. Will try the fresh ginger next time!
These additions are so creative! Sounds so yummy! Fresh ginger is a great idea as well. Thank you! 🙂 – Krista <3

Hi!
So I followed the recipe ste by step, but it didn’t come out crunchy, it came out very fluffy. I only had 1 cup of oats, maybe that’s why?
Hi! They are supposed to be fluffy. Baked oats aren't like granola bars. They are more like muffins. I do recommend using 2 cups of oats as the recipe states though. Always follow the recipe as written for optimal results.
Camilla
I made them again and this time with the oats and the seeds (I didn’t have the seeds neither) and they came just right. It definitely made difference! They were delicious!
Question, once frozen, how would you thaw them? Can you thaw them in the microwave? If yes, with “defrost” settings or simply by setting the microwave temperature to high?
You can just microwave on high until warm!
Marta
I’ve tried it several times with pumpkin and then with banana. I must admit I did make a few changes. I used Chia seeds because I didn’t have flax. I also threw in a handful of sliced almonds and coconut. They are wonderful.
Love those additions! Yummy. 🙂
Erin
Hi I cannot have seeds is it ok to not add them or would it mess up the recipe?
I would just add in some extra oats to compensate for it!
