These bars are a great way to use up leftover oatmeal. I always have a container of oatmeal in my fridge, so I can make these bars whenever I need a quick and easy snack.

I'm not a big fan of dates, but I really enjoyed these bars. The sweetness of the dates is balanced out by the tartness of the cranberries.
