Scottish Oatmeal Cookie Bars

Are your kids like mine, in that as soon as they come home from school they are ransacking your kitchen pantry with claims that they are starving?! (You know, if I didn't have access to what they purchased on their lunch cards, I might truly think they hadn't eaten all day- but I know this isn't the case!) So I like to have something yummy yet made with wholesome ingredients to fill them back up- and give them the boost they need to power through homework (and Instagram and Snapchat!). This recipe for these delicious Scottish Oatmeal Bars is one of their favorites!

With these Scottish Oatmeal bar cookies, it only takes a few minutes to mix together all of the ingredients into a thick sticky dough…

That I then spread out into a parchment-lined baking sheet and pop in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Once they cool completely they can be cut into bars and tucked into school lunches or even enjoyed as a mid-morning power snack!
