These Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bars are a favorite of mine. They’re so easy to make, and I usually have all the ingredients on hand. Healthy oats help give these bars their chewy cookie texture! Great for the lunch box!
I like to freeze most of the batch and they are delicious and chewy straight out of the freezer.
