I love oatmeal!  It’s one of my favorite breakfasts.  My family makes something we call Oat-ole (that I’ll share one of these days, when I finally get a good picture of it, do you KNOW how hard it is to take a pretty picture of a bowl of tan mush?).  My favorite chocolate chip cookies are made with ground oatmeal.  AND it’s especially good with CHOCOLATE, Mmmmmm!

These oatmeal bars are a family favorite at our house, I’ll make a pan and it’s gone in a day.  I usually cut them even smaller than this so that my kids and husband take all day to eat them, not a few hours.  This is a great dessert to make for a platter to take to a party or other gathering cause they stack easily aren’t too messy and taste great!

This is a year round treat for me, a great treat I can make last min because we always have the ingredients around.  The kids love helping pat the dough into the pan too, so it can be a fun family activity too!  Do you have a favorite treat you enjoy making with your family?  Or a great recipe you make year round (so many treats have a seasonal feel)?
