This was very nice and a good recipe for tweaking. I added half brown and half white sugar as I didn't have enough brown sugar. I also added a tablespoon of flaxseeds to make them more healthy and a mixture of jams which I had leftover in the fridge including some chunky homemade fig jam. It worked beautifully and was really yummy. This really needs to cool down in the pan before slicing to prevent it crumbling. I didn't dare try when it was still warm but waited until it had cooled down completely. I also greased the pan with butter before patting down the mixture which may have helped it come out so easily. All in all, an easy tasty recipe, thanks for posting. -
These are so good. Just made them with old fashioned oats and organic raspberry jam. Way better than any packaged cereal bar I have ever had.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
My passions are photography and cooking (a good combination to have a 'zaar!) I try to photograph every recipe I review. My family sometimes wishes we could just sit down to eat at night without first having to take pictures of what we are eating!
I've been cooking for a long time and recently started baking from scratch. I have been a member at 'zaar for quite a few years and my tried-and-tried recipes come mainly from my favorite chefs here. I am dabbling in OAMC and pantry cooking and do a lot of baking due to my boys' food allergies. We follow the Feingold Program, an alternative to ADHD medications. Feingold eliminates food additives such as artificial flavors and colorings, synthetic sweeteners such as Equal and the petroleum-based preservatives such as BHT, BHA and TBHQ (ewww!!) You can find more information on the Feingold program by visiting the website at http://www.feingold.org. I have become a much better cook since starting the program two years ago and have become somewhat of a food snob because of it.
I am a mom first and for-most. I also work with families who lose a child at or before birth.
