I wanted to make on-the-go oatmeal bars without the artificial ingredients found in commercial bars. This recipe provides a base for chewy oatmeal bars, but you can add flavor and texture by incorporating dried fruits, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts to suit your own tastes. Packed with oats, these are perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast, snack, or lunch box addition.
