These are delicious and what I was searching for. Oatmeal raison or one of my most favorite flavors and these do not disappoint. I made as stated except I did not use the drizzle to cut down on the sugar amount. Healthy bars should have 12g or less of sugar with the preferred range 4-6g. Removing the powdered sugar removes close to 7.3g of sugar overall, so that is about 1.22g a serving. I will pay with the maple syrup amount next to get closer or under 12g of sugar.

In reply to Catherine. I always include my substitution recommendations in the green box of the blog post :) You could substitute sun butter for the almond butter.

My daughter has a nut allergy – can I sub something in for almond butter?

These are a hit! I doubled the recipe because I’ve got teenagers. I did not put the drizzle on them. My daughter said they taste like oatmeal cookie dough! So yummy! Very easy to make. Minimal cleanup.

In reply to Janice. All of our blog posts have a green substitutions box where we list every ingredient. Here's what it says for oats: Make sure to use quick cooking oats and not whole oats or old fashioned oats. Gluten free oats are fine if needed. Do not replace oats with other flours.

In reply to Tricia Best. I'm sorry Tricia but there is no substitute for oats in this recipe. Oats are the main ingredient here. You could maybe try one of our other recipes: , , but I'm not sure if any of those would be a fit for your diet.

I have been waiting for this since Liz teased them, and they did not disappoint! They were super easy to make (I’m pretty sure I threw them all together in about 10 minutes) and cleanup was minimal. I used a glove to mix the bars together and transfer them to the pan so they didn’t get stuck to my skin. I subbed Swerve confectioner sugar for the powdered sugar, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly and they are amazing. They taste just like the iced oatmeal cookies I grew up eating. My drizzle skills leave a lot be desired, so I just used a spoon to spread the icing over the top. Popped in the fridge overnight and had one as a post-workout snack. I will definitely be keeping these on hand for the times when I want a sweet treat while staying on plan. Thanks, Liz!
