These bars are one of my all-time favorite holiday treats! They are very rich (which means one pan goes a long way!), indulgent, and an amazing addition to a plate of assorted homemade Christmas goodies.
One thing we always love about fall is apple picking. Thankfully, we never had to go far to pick apples, since my mom and dad have several apple trees in their yard.
This tasty homemade version of a childhood favorite gets a nutritional boost from whole wheat flour, sunflower seeds and no refined sugar. Each small cookie is just the right size for a lunchbox treat or an after-school snack.
Oatmeal is cooked in milk with brown sugar and butter for a tasty butterscotch flavor. The best oatmeal I've ever had. No need to top this with sugar afterwards. Good with or without milk.
I make this for my kids quite often. It is very simple. Preparing the batter in the food processor makes it that much easier. Serve with syrup and butter. Also good with applesauce!
