I don’t think I’m going to forget making these chewy  granola squares for a very long time, maybe ever.  Basically, I decided to get Lilly’s bath filled up while I finished photographing these bars.  Lilly was happily playing near by and I was happily snapping pictures in the kitchen, until it started raining. IN THE KITCHEN.  I had forgotten to turn the bathwater off.  No worries though.  The bars were fine.

These bars are chewy and dessert like, and can definitely be served to company after a meal.  What I love most about them is that they are pretty much foolproof. If I don’t feel like measuring the ingredients exactly they still come out great. Feel free to experiment with other types of nuts or chocolate chips.

You just use regular oats and pulse them in the food processor until they reach this consistency

You can eat this by the spoonful before baking it. Be careful 🙂
