Made this with Caroline this morning. HUGE hit! She loved patting the oatmeal mixture into the pan as predicted and the whole family is gobbling like crazy.

I’ve been making them with the 5 min oats & homemade raspberry jam (I’m going to miss summer & all these fresh fruits!) & they are fabulous! We can’t get enough of them. Thanks for another great treat!

Going to the store today for ingredients to make these yummy looking bars! I just discovered your website and I am thrilled to now have this as a resource. Thank You so much for your hard work and kind heart. This is such a help with my 12 month old daughters allergies.

Bethany…good luck on the RAST results! I’m a purist when it comes to bagels, so I didn’t test with raisins or cinnamon, but I think it would turn out OK. It’s hard to say without first making it myself. If you want, try adding 1 tsp. cinnamon and 1 c. raisins or currants to the batter and see how it goes! Good luck!

Thanks! I’ll give them a try tonight, I’m excited! My kids LOVE baked goods. Now cross your fingers with me that our food testing later this summer doesn’t show WHEAT on the rast results or I am going to cry.

I’m so happy your family devoured those bars! They are also a favorite in my house! Try it with any jam you love.

These were SO good – I made them Sat then had to make a SECOND batch on Sunday after my husband and 2 boys ate the entire first batch in 1 day! Thanks so much – will have to stock up on raspberry jelly (although rasp & strawberry mixed worked too!)! Thanks!

Hi Bethany, My recommendation would be to bake these for a a couple minutes longer than the time directed, so it “sets” more firmly. Then, wrap well in either a parchment/foil combination, or a plastic covered container. We eat the Kashi bars too, but you’re right, they are expensive and they get smushy too.

I have to know – are these “hold-able”? I need a chewy fruit bar that I can bring with me, finger food stuff. We eat Kashi bars right now but they’re too expensive. We can eat “may contain trace amounts of….” foods, so Kashi is ok for us, but too pricey and if these would work as finger food — !!!!!

These were great! I made these for a morning play date and everyone enjoyed them, both kids and moms. I’ve been hunting for a snack similar to a cereal bar and these exceeded my expectations. Thanks for all of your recipes!

Fantastic Mandy! Thanks so much! I think peach preserves sounds delicious. I’ve been on a major peach and nectarine kick lately….

Oh my these look yummy. I have everything on hand, think I am going to try these. I just love your recipes. Think I need to break down and get the book.

Just made them last night… they were great!!! We used Sugar Free Seedless Strawberry Preserve. My 18 month old loved the chewy texture. Thanks for the great recipe. I may try it with peach preserve next time. Keep up the good work. Can’t wait to buy your book!

Yep! You can use 5 minute or 1 minute, I just don’t recommend the “Old Fashioned” oat variety. Let me know how it works for you!
