How To Make oat bars

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 Degrees. Then prep your 9X13x2" pan my greasing it.

Step 2

In a large bowl cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg,salt, banana, and yogurt. Then stir in the remaining ingredients.
Step 3

Turn everything together into the greased pan.
Step 4

Bake for 45 Minutes. Once it's cool to the touch, begin cutting into 30 bars. After they are cut store them in an airtight container.
Step 5

I just want to add that I used dated instead of raisins when I made it. I also increased the amount of dates to a cup and a half, and tossed in a handful of raisins, for variety. I also increased the amount of banana almost up to 3 whole bananas. Some in bigger chunks (for texture) and the rest mashed up.
Step 6

You will love how moist and delicious these bars are. So flavor full, and easy to take on the go. I see my self making these again and again.
