Oatmeal Breakfast Bars

semo233_417632's Note:

. They are high protein and calcium and made a great grab and go breakfast along with a hard boiled egg. You can make all different combinations - we love "banana bread style" with mashed bananas and walnuts, blueberry muffin style, dried cherries and almonds, and substituting pumpkin for the mashed banana along with pumpkin pie spice, yum!

this was very tasty. the directions were a little confusing.. it says to add the honey or agave but that ingredient is not in the list so i just squeezed some on.. i put raisons, walnuts, vanilla and a scoop of pb in mine.. very delicious and easy to mix up.. i was worried about the powdered milk.. as i thought it would be too dry and was wondering if i should add water.. i didnt and it all turned out great.
