I was looking specifically for a healthy oatmeal bar recipe as an alternative to buying the Quaker bars - this just might be something my daughter would try.

Ksnull - I hope she likes them. My nieces love them, and they're pretty picky!

They were quite dry. I guess that's the low-fat part. We were able to take the entire thing out of the pan at once..but couldn't cut it with a knife. We had to use both hands to break off chunks. The taste was ok, but my daughter wouldn't touch it, afraid she would break her teeth..lol.

Hmm, that's weird. I've never had them come out that dry. Maybe because I normally put chopped apples in them - that probably makes them more moist.

Oh man, I just wish I'd found this recipe when there was more than 1 day left of Feb vacation! We were snowed in for a couple of days, & my oldest would've loved to make these (made brownies, but these are way healthier)!
