Banana Oatmeal Bars

When you have two kids that come home from school ravenous like I have been withholding food from them for days, it helps to have something on hand that they can quickly eat.

I do not want to fall into a trap that when we are away from the house and the kids are hungry, the only option for food is a drive-through. So I have found that an ounce of prevention cures their cravings!

These bars are healthy, quick to prepare and easy to modify to what your family likes. I like to add milled flax seed to my batter for a little added benefit.

Best of all, the only plastic wrapper these little bars come in is the one I wrapped them in myself!
