These little bars are great to snack on, are perfect at holiday time, and would be excellent for a cookie exchange. If you have leftover dough after forming the bars, don't worry, I find that the thinner the crust, the better.

CRANBERRY, CINNAMON, AND BROWN SUGAR STEEL CUT OATS



Cranberry, Cinnamon, and Brown Sugar Steel Cut Oats image

I love instant oatmeal 'raisins and spice' flavor, but I wanted better oats, so this is my own twist. This recipe is not 'quick,' but if you make this large amount, you can refrigerate in small storage containers for a quick and easy snack or meal. This oatmeal taste great hot but even tastes good cold when you are on the go.

Tips:

  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Press the batter firmly into the pan. This will help to prevent the bars from crumbling.
  • Bake the bars until they are golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
