I used the Raspberry Oatmeal Bars recipe out of The Best of Vegan Baking, but put my own twist on it of course. When do I ever follow a recipe to a tee?

love that it uses frozen berries!
I have been craving a bar like that for the mornings when I'm in a hurry. YUM!
THESE LOOK AWESOME!!!! mmm.. so comforting! i hope you have a great halloween weekend my love!
These look delish! I'm always looking for granola bar type recipes. The last granola bars I made were quite tasty…but I practically broke a tooth when trying to bite into them!
I'm totally the same way haha, I never follow a recipe perfectly!
thanks for sharing your wonderful oatmeal bars recipe, been eyeing it since you posted it
those look so good! i need to try these.
Yum! And I believe that most recipes are guidelines, yes?
I get this from my Mom who never followed a recipe. I remember my brother asking her once why she couldn't just make a plain ole chocolate chip cookie!! LOL
