I made the pumpkin version and it turned out pretty well, considering there is no oil or white sugar added. I made it in a 9" x 9" pan, and they turned out very moist with a nice, chewy texture. My only critique is that I felt the bars could use a little more flavor, like a kick of something - more spices perhaps. Other than that, pretty good for such a healthy recipe.

WOW! These just came out of the oven...oh my! My kids are gobbling them up and since they are so healthy...no need to stop them. I don't eat flour or processed sugar, so I didn't use the 1 cup of flour. I ground up steel cut oats in my food processor until it got flour-looking and added the remaining 2 c of oats, so there are a ton of oats in these little babies. 5 stars, hands down!

Followed the banana version of the recipe, but I don't love how they taste, but really I want to try this recipe again following the suggestions of adding dried fruit (also want to try precooking the oats too).<br/><br/>Right now I usually eat one for breakfast topped with vanilla or blueberry yogurt. Also have been giving pieces to my doggie as treats and he's loving it.<br/><br/>Thanks for the no-fuss recipe, it's nice to see ones that have such healthy ingredients and lots of room to experiment :)
