Crispy Oatmeal Bars
Jenny commented on my previous blog asking what I made for the Potluck. Well, here it is.
I made some Crispy Oatmeal Bars for the Caring Place Community Kitchen potluck. We’ve got very short notice on the potluck, just the day before the potluck. I had to look for a recipe which I can make without going out for last minute shopping and I found this Crispy Oatmeal Bars where I had all the ingredients on hand.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup shortening (or margarine or butter)
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup flour
- 1 1/2 cups quick oatmeal (not instant)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts or raisins or other dried fruit or chocolate chips

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F.


















This sounds excellent. We are oatmeal fiends, so I’m bookmarking this one for sure. :)
I had a craving for something sweet and had these ingredients on hand. I did use all white sugar because that is what I had. I used the coffee grinder some of the oats and did the same with some hazelnuts and added raisons and chopped hazelnuts. I also used half coconut oil and half butter for my shortening. Came out great!
