Easy Pleasing Oat Bars Recipe?

[katie rae]

I've seen references to the Easy Pleasing Oat Bars in several posts. Can someone please tell me where to find the recipe?

Thanks in advance.

Here it is, Katie Rae, Hope 101 posted it for me in This Thread about low sodium snack foods.

Just want to chime in that I think I made my best batch of this the other day. I used 1/2 c. unsweetened coconut in it instead of the sesame seeds, and it added a really nice texture and extra sweetness. It reminded me of the commercial granola bars I used to buy for my kids that I refused to purchase when they started using HFCS. Hope you like them, katie rae.

Thanks, SlugMom and Hope101:

I intend to make them this weekend. I bet this is something even my SAD loving DH will devour, especially if I put coconut in them!

My sweet tooth has been quite active lately. It's been a real struggle to not buy a bag of peanut butter M&M's and indulge lile there is no tomorrow!

I made this easy oat bars recipe last night. I added 1/2 cocoa as I have been craving chocolate. I didn't have enough honey that the recipe called for so used 1/4 cup honey and 1/4 cup molasses. These were delicious! They weren't sweet like I was expecting and had a nice chewy texture. I brought a container of them to work and have them sitting on my desk. My boss has been in several times this afternoon helping himself. It will take quite a while for me to get through a batch, but I do intend to try them with coconut next time. Yummy! Thanks again for the recipe.

You are most welcome. They are adapted from Dreena Burton's recipe. She had a much higher proportion of oat flour to actual oats, but I was looking for a recipe closer to the store-bought granola bars I refuse to buy my kids.
