SWEET GOLDEN OAT BARS

These crumbly oat bars will put a smile on your face. Not only are they HEALTHY, but they are SO easy to make. Their texture can't be beat - chewy and crunchy at the same darn time. A perfect breakfast on-the-go or mid-day snack. You can even crumble them into a bowl & pour over your favorite milk for a DIY cereal! They're vegan, gluten-free, oil free & refined sugar free.
