Perfect kids snacks

Easy Granola Bar Recipe for Kids is a great snack option around my house because it uses ingredients I always have in my pantry and my sweeties love them.  I made a batch over the weekend and Big B was watching how many Stud and I ate because he wanted to make sure there were enough left for him to have packed in his lunch this morning.  I love that my boy appreciates a great snack!  This recipe is so easy, making another batch is totally no big deal!  Note:  These are messy!

After setting the oven to 350 degrees, I tossed my ingredients into a large bowl.  This recipe calls for 1/2 cup of all the ingredients, with exception to 2 cups of oatmeal.  I haven’t had my kids make this recipe yet, because I love how impressed they are when I serve them, but I’m thinking this will be the next snack recipe I teach them.  It is SUPER simple and totally rewarding!
