Notes
Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
For Freezing: These oatmeal bars freeze well. Place in a freezer safe container, and if stacking the bars, place a layer of parchment or waxed paper between bars to prevent sticking. To defrost: place on a microwave-safe plate or bowl, and use the defrost setting for 30-45 second increments until warmed through.
