Loaded Oatmeal Cookie Bars

"Our Loaded Oatmeal Cookie Bars are nice and chewy, and full of heart-healthy oats, crunchy walnuts, sweet coconut, and rich, semi-sweet chocolate chips! If you’re craving something sweet, that’s a little healthier than most desserts, go for this one – it’s worth every bite! We love using oats in recipes because they make things a little healthier and super delicious. Oats are so good for you and they give cookies and dessert bars that nice chewy texture and provide extra flavor too."

NotesWhen measuring the oats, make sure the measuring cup is level, not rounded. Because rounding the measuring cup will add too many oats, which will dry out these cookie bars.

Whenever using a new dessert bar recipe, always check the bars 5 minutes before the lowest bake time, because oven temperatures may vary. The bars will be a little soft in the middle when done, which is fine because they will continue to bake a bit more while cooling.

Serve warm or cool completely before storing in an airtight container. These bars also freeze well.
