Oat Bars

These bars are fantastic and super easy to whip up. They are dense and filling and perfect for throwing into you bag as a snack or to take on your ride as ride food.

​I usually add chocolate chips to them and once they are baked, I like to chop them up and wrap them individually to be kept in the freezer for times when I'm in a pinch. 

Enjoy!
