BAKED OATMEAL TRAILSIDE TREAT BARS
BAKED OATMEAL TRAILSIDE TREAT BARS
It’s based on one of my favorite cookies from childhood – Trailside Oatmeal Treats! Have you had them? They’re hearty and delicious, filled with oats and peanut butter and chocolate chips and raisins. Kind of like a granola bar, in cookie form. And now, in baked oatmeal form!
Just measure, stir, cook, and pour….then bake….and breakfast is served. And if the kids want to help? Even better! This is the perfect recipe for them to help with. Doesn’t it look amazing??? It’s like eating a cookie for breakfast, only it’s guilt free. It doesn’t really get better than that!
