Homemade Oat Bars Recipe Video
A recipe for homemade oat bars that are chock full of nutrition and just the right ingredients to satisfy your sweet tooth -- but are far less inclined to create persistent sugar cravings throughout the day as sugar will do. They are great as snacks or even as on-the-go breakfast options instead of cereal or bagels. Nuts are included to boost serotonin and stabilize your mood, and organic pumpkin puree is used instead of oil for moisture -- thereby reducing the caloric value and also providing you with antioxidant-rich carotenoids, betacarotene and a good supply of potassium -- great for stabilizing blood pressure!
