Just ate the most delicious oatmeal bar! #appleways #blueberrypomegranate #oatmealbar #nutfree https://www.instagram.com/p/CANqflVpf10/?igshid=qtyv50k3pg92

Latest oatmeal bars a couple nights ago. Put some of Jenis' homemade strawberry jam in the middle. Then grabbed some frozen blueberries, raspberries, and peaches (CONFESSION - thought I grabbed mangos) for the topping. Then sprinkles a little bit of reserved base on top. After baking it and letting it mostly cool, I drizzled a little of our home harvested honey on top. I didn't want the honey on it before going into the oven because I didn't want to kill all the good stuff in the honey. #homestead #oatmealbar #makeyourown #honey https://www.instagram.com/p/B76xdLlA6AP/?igshid=6xtq79nl58d

Well! We found some @tannerspecan pecans that we didn't know we still had. So last night I also made apple cinnamon oatmeal bars with pecans. O-M-Goodness! Make sure to visit @tannerspecan for Pecans and more! We love us some Tanner's! #homestead #oatmealbar #tannerspecan https://www.instagram.com/p/B7gxzOsgf4K/?igshid=17833gbixfrbd

Can NOT WAIT to sample these oatmeal bars tomorrow (and since everyone is on bed ... Maybe I won't wait 😅). SWIPE!---->>> First, I reserve about 3/4 cup of the base. Then laid about half the base down. Then drizzled caramel syrup (more than in pic 😅) on it. Then put down the rest of the base and gave it a very light paxk. Next put apples with cinnamon on top. Then the 3/4 cup reserve sprinkled on. Then baked. Then (can't really tell in the pics) drizzled just a little more on top while it was cooking. Jeni LOVES the apple cinnamon ones and I'm thinking she will love it with caramel even more! She swears I could sell these things. #homeatead #oatmealbar #homemade https://www.instagram.com/p/B7fJ4DKg3gM/?igshid=13zdauggnjdg4

Yesterday the kids (Mostly the older 2) got 10 pre batches of oatmeal bars done while I worked on dinner. IN QUART JAR 2.5 cups Oatmeal 2.5 cups Flour 1/4 cup Sugar 1 cup Brown Sugar When Ready to use, Dump in bowl and add 2 sticks melted butter. Mix well breaking up all the clumps. Reserve 1/2 to 1 cup to sprinkle on top. Line 9x13 pan with parchment paper. Dump contents of bowl into pan and very lightly pack it down. The more packed, the harder the bar will be (we like it very lightly ... Hardly even ... Packed). Add whatever topping you want. Sprinkle the reserve over the top. I also like to add a little more brown sugar to the top before baking Bake at 350 F for 35 mins. #homestead #oatmealbar #makeyourown #mealprep. https://www.instagram.com/p/B7OqdM7glxO/?igshid=3kdpkyga7ueq

Andrew wanted to make Trail Mix Oatmeal Bars. So we did! #homestead #oatmealbar https://www.instagram.com/p/B664gayg4Ju/?igshid=14wi4x9ak9e7y

The blueberry oatmeal bars Faith made the other day. OMG she did fantastic! She made the jam from scratch. It was a no pectin jam and didn't quite fully set, but close. But also close enough to be used as jam but we used the rest on pancakes the following night. These maybe my favorites so far. #homestead #oatmealbar #homesteadkids https://www.instagram.com/p/B6LCEUCA0jy/?igshid=1cvfyesfrmvp1

Last night Grace said "Dad I want to make more oatmeal bars with you tomorrow". Knowing our schedule is always hectic ... I premade the dry ingredients or the "base" in quart jars. 2.5 cups oatmeal 2.5 cups flour 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking soda All Ina quart jar. When ready dump out in bowl. Mix well. Add 2 sticks of butter. Mix well. Put all but about 1 cup in a 9x13 pan. Evenly pack down. Add topping of your choice. Sprinkle that remaining 1 cup on top. Today Grace wanted Maple Syrup and Brown Sugar. So we added a little more brown sugar on the very top. Faith and I are getting ready to make a blueberry one right now. She made the blueberry jar today for it. I don't think it is going to fully set though (no added pectin either) but for the purpose of oatmeal bars .... It will work great. #homestead #oatmealbar https://www.instagram.com/p/B6EgidvgQ3R/?igshid=1vj0zjdptr5j5
