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 :)

Very good but needed just a little something. and I used 1 C raisins too. Next time may use 1/2 powdered and 1/2 fresh ginger.

I made the pumpkin version and they came out looking just the photo from DogAndCatDoc. Subtly sweet and an excellent choice for breakfast or tea time. These aren't too cookie like,though more like an oat cake/bar.
