This recipe was great! I made a few adjustments to make it a little healthier and they were delicious and disappeared very quickly. I came home from work one day and my dad and brother had eaten them all.. guess I'll have to make more next time. Instead of sugar i used one tablespoon of honey and one tablespoon of lite maple syrup, as another user suggested. I also replaced the vegetable oil with 1/2 of cinnamon apple sauce. I used 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts, but next time I will use a bit more. I replaced the raisins with craisins because that is what I had. I used a whole teaspoon of cinnamon but will use more next time to increase the flavor. Overall these were awesome, a great nutritious snack. I loved the texture, they were very soft and chewy. I'll definitely be making these again, thanks!

Delicious, and a big hit with the BF!

Really good. Added a chopped apple, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves. Applesauce and br. sugar w/ white sugar.

This was pretty good. Even the picky 6 year old liked it. I plumped the raisins in hot water before adding to the mix. This was the only deterrent to following this recipe exactly. I dinged this a star because of it being slightly crumbly, and that surprised me since I plumped the raisins and added a small amount of additional liquid as a result of doing that. I would imagine this would be even crumbly-er if I hadn't done this. Other than this slight imperfection, this is a keeper of a recipe. Thank you for sharing!

These are THE BEST! I've tried several oat bar recipes in the past, trying to find the right one, and I think I've found it. I've made these twice, the first time with dried cranberries pre-soaked in OJ, then the second time with fresh strawberries. While the strawberry taste was great, these were a little too moist with fresh fruit, but with the cranberries they turned out PERFECT! I subbed applesauce for oil both times, and doubled the recipe to bake in a 9x13 pan. DELISH!

Delicious, but did I do something wrong? Mine just crumbled when I cut it into squares. Was flour supposed to be an ingredient?

Very tasty. It looked like too many wet ingred to me so I used less milk, a little EVOO & applesauce. I only used 1/4 c brown sugar & lots of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice & cloves. Thanks!

This was awesome! Thank you! Great, simple and yummy! THANK YOU!

I made 2 batches of these, the first with applesauce instead of vegetable oil (and craisins and walnuts), and the second with grapeseed oil with a tablespoon of maple syrup added. The consistency of the second batch was very crumbly, but the first was excellent and held together well. Next time I will double the recipe as others suggested so the squares are a bit thicker. Nice healthy recipe - thanks!

These bars were good. Not quite the taste I was looking for, but they will be a good snack for the garage sale I'm participating in. I'm thinking of a way that can be iced to make them a little sweeter/crunchier. Update: People loved these! I will also try again with dried cranberries or cherries.

I think this recipe is wonderful. I have made some changes. I double the recipe in the 8x8 pan for a thicker square. I also add craisins and instead of nutmeg, I add 2 tbs. of allspice. I have made this with cream instead of milk, too. Each time, it has turned out great. I have also substituted the sugar for Whey-low, a diabetic sugar substitute. It didn't change the taste at all. This has become a staple in our family's breakfast.

I made this with only 1/4 cup sugar, and it was plenty sweet. If you plan on using sugar on top, you might even be able to omit the sugar. I also mixed in dried cherries that I had soaked in orange juice and walnuts. Baked in a 11x7" pan, but next time, I would use an 8x8". Topped with brown sugar and warm milk.

These taste good but are somewhat fragile. I was looking for something a little more portable (playgroup granola bars work well).

I use half a mashed up banana in place of the egg. It works great and, I think, makes this recipe taste even better.

I followed this recipe exactly and they were very crumbly, taste was ok.

This is decent. The flavor is sort of strange to me--maybe because I accidentally added too much salt. I tripled the recipe and baked it for 5 minutes longer. The oatmeal stuck together for the most part, but didn't cut nicely into squares, which is too bad because I brought it to my office to share.

Wonderful! I used regular oats and otherwise followed the recipe exactly. We just spooned it out of the pan because it didn't really cut into squares easily. I eat it plain but husband eats it with milk. He loves it and looks forward to the leftovers! This is the only way I can
