Oatmeal Breakfast Bars
School starts next week, so we thought we would do 4 weeks of Back-to-School Mealtime Monday recipes to help you start off the year with some new ideas that the kids will love for breakfast and lunch boxes!  We found these recipes in Easy Back-to-School Meals by Taste of Home.  We hope you enjoy them and will let us know what your kids think!
These soft and chewy treats have a hint of orange marmalade, so they’re a change of pace from the typical granola bar.  Great for snacks too!
Oatmeal Breakfast Bars
4 cups quick-cooking oats 1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup packed brown sugar 3/4 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon of salt 3/4 cup orange marmalade
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
  • In a large bowl, combine th oats, brown sugar and salt.  Stir in remaining ingredients.  Press into a greased 15-in. x 10-in .x 1-in. baking pan.  Bake at 425 degrees for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Cool on a wire rack.
  • Makes about 2 1 /2 dozen.

**Idea:  Pack the oatmeal bars in ziploc bags ahead of time, so in the morning, the kids can grab a bag on their way out the door for a wholesome meal on the go!
