Description
These delicious oatmeal honey bars are perfect for a quick snack or dessert!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup butter (softened)
- 1 cup honey
- 4 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup whole wheat or spelt flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla
- Add ins of choice (mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, dried fruit, sunflower seeds, coconut, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9″x13″ glass baking dish with butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine butter and honey and mix well (I just use a plastic or wooden spoon to mix).
- Add the oats, flour, baking soda, and vanilla and mix well.
- Stir in the add-ins by hand.
- Pour the mixture into the baking dish and press it firmly into the pan (and you can even use your hands for this part!).
- Bake at 325 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. They won’t look or feel “done,” but instead they will still be very moist. Don’t worry, they’ll harden as they cool.
- Allow the bars to cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting into bars. Let them cool completely before removing and serving.
- They can be stored at room temperature or you can even freeze them for later use.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container.
- These bars can be customized with different add-ins based on your preference.
